Output Modules

Functionality

The Power Vector series of amplifiers accepts Bogen signal-processing output modules, which offer a cost effec- tive and convenient way to add specific signal-processing capability into a system. When an output module is installed, the mix bus signal is automatically rerouted through the output module, whose capabilities further process the signal before it is presented to the power amplifier section.

Up to 2 output modules can be installed in a Power Vector amplifier using module bays 7 & 8 (these bays accept either output or input modules). When two output modules are installed, their signal-processing effects are cascaded. The mix bus signal will first pass through the output module in module bay 7 and then through the output module in bay 8. In some instances, the order in which the signal processing is applied is important and can be determined by the module installation order.

Output modules automatically insert themselves into the signal path between the mix bus and power amp stage, so no further connections are required beyond simply inserting the modules. Most Bogen output modules include an unbalanced, Hi-Z input.This input feeds directly to the amplifier’s mix bus through the front level control for the particular module bay and is not processed by the output module directly. The input is included so that the input function of the module bay is not lost when an output module is installed.

Input Modules

Functionality

The PowerVector series of amplifiers accepts Bogen’s new advanced input modules, which provide a wide range of input types allowing the amplifier inputs to be custom configured in both type and number for a particular application. Input modules can be installed into any of the 8 module bays and do not have to be installed in any particular bay order.The front panel volume control for that number bay will control the mix level of that input module. In addition to a host of module specific features, each input module has a priority jumper section for creating a priority hierarchy between different inputs installed in the amplifier.

Priorities

The Power Vector series of amplifiers allows inputs to be prioritized at four different levels. The Bogen input modules contain circuitry that can cause their outputs to be muted in response to higher priority control signals from other input modules. Each input module also contains circuitry that sends a mute control signal out to other modules when it becomes active (all input modules become “active” when they receive an audio input). Active modules may be prevented from sending their audio onto the mix bus by a higher priority module that is also active.

Input priorities are set through a simple jumper field on the module. It is also possible not to assign a priority level to an input module. By doing so, that module will never be muted by another input module in the amplifier.

V250, V100, V150, V60 specifications

Bogen has established itself as a trusted name in the field of telecommunication and public address systems, especially with their V series of amplifiers, including the V100, V60, V150, and V250 models. Each of these units showcases Bogen’s commitment to quality, durability, and innovation.

The Bogen V100 is designed for smaller installations, ideally serving schools and small offices. It features a compact design with a power output of 100 watts, making it sufficient for environments that require clear sound without overwhelming amplification. 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.
