Mute Control

Each priority bus (High, Medium, and Low) can be externally activated. This allows priority buses of two or more Power Vector units to be linked together for system expansion purposes. A particular mute priority can be externally forced by shorting that priority’s bus terminal to the C terminal of the Mute Control (the C terminal is the system ground). Forcing the H priority bus this way will mute all modules except for modules set for priority level 1 (highest priority). Forcing the M priority bus will mute modules set for priority levels 3 or 4, but not levels 1 or 2, and forcing the L priority bus will only mute modules set at priority level 4. See section on Bridging and illustration on page 8.

Bridging

This connector makes the PowerVector’s mix bus available externally and allows the connecting of Power Vector units for system expansion and simple room combining.

This function is bi-directional.Any signal received will be amplified and any signal sent can be used by another Power Vector amp.The signal levels at the bridging jack will drop by one-half with two Power Vectors tied together and by two-thirds with three units tied together. Because of the attenuation of the bridging signal, due to the signal loading of other Power Vectors, it is not recommended that more than three units be connected together. See Mute Control section and the illustration below for additional information.

System Expansion of Power Vector Amplifiers

Using the bridging RCA connector, it is possible to connect two or more Power Vector amplifiers. It is not recommended that more than three amplifiers be bridged together due to bridging loss.When connecting mute control functions, make certain that the wiring is consistent (H to H, M to M, and so forth). See illustration below.

The V100 incorporates features like a built-in mixer with multiple microphone inputs, allowing users to connect different audio sources simultaneously. Its user-friendly interface and straightforward controls make it accessible to those without extensive technical knowledge.

Next in the lineup is the Bogen V60. This amplifier offers enhanced versatility while maintaining a compact footprint, suitable for a variety of applications. With a power output of 60 watts, the V60 is perfect for classrooms, conference rooms, or smaller venues. It features an integrated RCA input, allowing for easy connection to external audio sources such as CD players or computers. The unit also supports a range of speaker configurations, making it adaptable for different audio setups.

The V150 model ramps up the power to deliver 150 watts, catering to mid-sized venues that require greater amplification. It boasts robust build quality and advanced circuitry designed for superior signal processing and clarity. The V150 supports both line-level and microphone-level inputs, providing flexibility for various audio requirements. Additionally, features like built-in EQ controls allow for sound customization to suit specific environments, enhancing audio output.

For larger installations, the Bogen V250 is the powerhouse of the series, delivering 250 watts of output. It is engineered for environments that demand high-performance public address systems, such as auditoriums and large conference areas. The V250 is equipped with advanced thermal protection and overload circuitry to ensure reliability during prolonged use. This model can support multiple zones, enabling complex audio needs across expansive spaces. Furthermore, its compatibility with various accessories makes it a versatile choice for integrators.

All four models in the Bogen V series reflect a blend of superior technology, thoughtful design, and practical features, making them stand out in their category. Bogen amplifiers are known for their reliability and efficiency, ensuring that whether for a small classroom or a large auditorium, users can always count on crystal clear audio performance. With options to suit different power requirements and configurations, Bogen continues to be an industry leader in public address and sound system solutions.
