• Installs into a variety of ceiling environments including suspended ceilingsand hard-surfaced ceilings

• Large heavy-gauge plated steel back can for deep bass response• Computer-matched dual venting system for full bass output• Wide dispersion coaxial driver provides broad, even coverage• Good off-axis response with smooth contouring• Easy to install mounting system for a variety of ceiling types • High power handling capability for foreground sound• Selectable power taps via front-mounted rotary control under grille• For 16-ohm, 70V, and 100V systems• Frequency response: 65 Hz – 19 kHz• Sensitivity: 89 dBspl @ 1W/1m• 6-1/2" highly stable polypropylene cone• 3/4" durable polycarbonate tweeter cone• Specially compounded rubber surround for lasting performance• Easy wiring with 4- terminal snap-on input connector• Connector provides loop-through to next speaker• White ABS baffle ring and perforated steel grille (both paintable)• Attachment point for seismic cable (safety cable)• Input terminal cover with knockouts provides protection

for connections• Fire rated (94V0) baffle

Wide FlangeA wide mounting flange allows for easymounting of the speaker in ceiling holes,even if roughly cut. Extra long integralmounting clamps swing into position,providing a snug and secure installationof the HFCS1 to the ceiling surface.

Tile Bridge Support RingThe TBCR Tile Bridge Support Ring accessory(sold separately) provides additionalmounting support.

Suspended ceilings - The TBCR is requiredto safely support the weight of the speakerin suspended ceiling applications.

Retrofit applications - The TBCR can beused as a support ring to better distributethe speaker’s clamping forces.

New constructions - The TBCR, installedbefore sheetrock, acts as a routing templatethat ensures an accurate and proper sizehole for installations.

Quick ConnectionWiring for the HFCS1 is terminated at a 4-screw snap-lock input connector with twopositive and two negative terminals toaccommodate daisy chaining of speakers.This snap-lock input connector detachesinto two sections, thereby allowing for fastand easy wiring connections.

Once the wiring is complete, the screw ter-minal section snaps back into position.So there's no need to maneuver wires andscrewdrivers around inconveniently locatedscrew terminals. Plus, you can completeyour wiring prior to installation.

Smoother Sound Without Whistling.A large rubber O-ring seal at the baseof the speaker cavity tightly seals thespeaker to the ceiling tile surface,eliminating whistling and frequencyresponse peaks.

Wire-Wound Volume Control. A high-qualitywire-wound volume control (standard) is an inte-gral part of the design, so it’s easily accessible butwon’t stand out. Volume adjustments can be madewithout going back into the ceiling.

Durable ABSPlastic Shell.Can be painted forapplications wherecolor coordinationis a factor.

Wide-Based Wing Nuts. Two custom-designed, easy-to-handle wing nutsprovide a secure mounting for thespeaker to the ceiling tile.

Wide Dispersion of Sound. A combination ofdirect and reflected sound paths produce a clear,wide dispersion of high-quality sound, even at higherfrequencies where other speakers begin to beam.This enhances intelligibility and makes exact speakerplacement less critical.

• Determine the ambient noise level of the area in which thespeakers will be installed.

• Select the type ofenvironment in which thespeakers will be installed.

• Crisscross these two charac-teristics on the chart todetermine the speaker(s)best suited for the area.

E x a m p l e s :• A typical waiting room’s

ambient noise level is 60 dBand is considered a professional working environment.Crisscross these two character-istics and you can easily deter-mine that the CS1EZ orSM1EZ ceiling speaker is thebest speaker for the job.

• The ambient noise level in amachine shop in an industrialarea is 90 dB. By referring tothe chart, you will find that theHS30EZ horn loudspeaker is best suited for this environment.

For applications with mixed noise levels, such as a location with quiet waiting rooms, medium noise level office areas, and very noisy manufacturing,select an appropriate speaker type for each different area.Once you have selected the speaker type(s), the next step is to determine how many speakers you will need to cover the area sufficiently.

What is Easy Design?

Armed with just 3 pieces of information, you can quickly create a bill ofmaterial for speaker paging jobs. Bogen’s Easy Design line of products was created specifically to make the design process easier and less time consuming for the installer.

You supply some basic pieces of information – type of application, dimen-sions of the area to be covered, ambient noise level, and ceiling height*.Then, a few simple and direct charts will immediately provide you with thebest type of speaker to use, the number of speakers needed, and the amplifier size required for the job.

Each speaker in the Easy Design line is designed with a single power tap anda volume control. Any paging system you create using the Easy Designproducts will be flexible, robust, and powerful. If noise levels increase in thefuture, just turn up the volume controls on the speakers – the amplifier willnot overload!

You get all the benefits of a 70V central-amplified system – full power capa-bility, high-quality sound and performance, 2-wire installation, long speakerruns, flexibility in amplifier location, no distributed power supplies – and now,super simple system design (we’ve eliminated the multiple power taps). EasyDesign speakers have the high-quality and reliability you expect from Bogen.

*For applications over 100 dB, contact Bogen for assistance.

CS1EZ Ceiling Speaker SM1EZ Surface-Mount Ceiling Speaker Use this chart to determine the number of CS1EZ Ceiling Speakers and/or SM1EZ Surface-MountCeiling Speakers a particular installation will require, based on the dimensions of the area and theceiling height.

CeilingSpeakers(CS1EZ, SM1EZ)• Obtain the length, width, and ceiling height of

the area.

• Look up where the length and width of the area meeton the chart.

•You will find three color-coded numbers. Use the red numberfor 8 ft. ceilings, blue for 10 ft. ceilings, and green for 12 ft. ceilings.The color-coded number that corresponds to the area’s ceilingheight is the general number of speakers the installation requires.

The minimum amplifier power needed (in watts) is equal to the totalnumber of CS1EZ or SM1EZ speakers required in the area for uniform coverage.

Amplifier Power (min.) = Number of CS1EZ or SM1EZ Speakers

E x a m p l e :

An office area, using CS1EZ ceiling speakers (or SM1EZ surface-mount ceiling speakers),is 100 feet long by 70 feet wide by 10 feet high. Crisscross the length (100 feet) and width(70 feet) on the chart. You will find three color-coded numbers – 27, 18, and 12. Sinceblue numbers are used for ceiling heights of 10 feet, 18 is the recommended quantity ofCS1EZ speakers needed for this application. This number – 18 – is also the minimumamplifier power needed (in watts) for this area.

• Obtain the square footage of the area to be covered and its ambientnoise level.

• Where the area’s square footage intersects the area’s ambient noiselevel, you will find two numbers.

The number in blue is the typical number of horn loudspeakers theinstallation requires. Additional speakers may be needed in areas that haveobstructions, like shelving, that block sound dispersion.

The number in red is the minimum amplifier power needed (in watts)for the installation.

Amplifier Power (min.) = Number in Red

The # in blue isthe # of speakers.

The # in red is the minimumamplifier power required.

WB1EZ Wall Baffle Speaker

Wall BaffleSpeaker(WB1EZ)• Obtain the length and width of the area.

• Where the length and width of the areacrisscross on the chart, you will find the typicalnumber of speakers the installation requires.

The minimum amplifier power needed (in watts) isequal to the total number of WB1EZ speakers required in thearea for uniform coverage.

Mixed SpeakerType ApplicationsFor applications with more than one type of speaker:

• Determine the number of speakers and the minimum amplifier power needed for each type of speaker separately.• Add together the minimum amplifier power needed for each type of speaker to obtain the minimum amplifier

power needed for the entire application.

E x a m p l e :An application requires 10 SM1EZ surface-mount ceiling speakers (minimum amplifier power needed is 10 watts),5 HS15EZ horn loudspeakers (minimum amplifier power needed is 75 watts), and 10 WB1EZ wall baffle speakers(minimum amplifier power needed is 10 watts). Add together the minimum amplifier power needed for each type ofspeaker: 10 watts + 75 watts + 10 watts.The sum is 95 watts. This is the minimum amplifier power needed (in watts)for the entire application.

Use this chart to determine the number of WB1EZ Speakers a particular installation will require, based on the dimensions of the area.

Once you determine the number of speakers and the minimum amplifierpower for the installation, you are ready to select the system amplifier.A 70V paging amplifier is very easy to select.

• Locate amplifiers on the chart that have a wattage equal to or higherthan the minimum amplifier power of your application. (Amplifiers withpower capacities greater than this number will not damage the speakers.The extra power available is simply not used.)

• Determine the amplifier features needed for the application (see theSite Survey Check List on page 56 and the Glossary of Amplifier Features onpage 57).

• Using the chart on page 66, find an amplifier that offers these features.As long as the wattage of the selected amplifier is equal to or higher thanthe minimum amplifier power, the amplifier will work well for the application.

If you think the application’s system may need to expand in the future (this isoften the case with new constructions and relocating companies), you maywant to select an amplifier with a greater power capacity now.

E x a m p l e :An application requiring 18 CS1EZ Ceiling Speakers requires a minimumamplifier power of 18 watts, so an amplifier with a power rating of 18 wattsminimum is needed. Now, look at the chart on page 66 to determine whichamplifiers provide the necessary wattage to drive the speakers as well asprovide the amplifier features that are most appropriate for the installation.Since the minimum wattage needed is 18, the amplifier with the lowestpower usable for this installation is 20 watts (model C20). However, if theC20 does not have the features required for the application, such as bassand treble controls, you can select any amplifier of greater wattage thatoffers the specific features. For instance, you might select the TPU35B orC35. Both of these amplifiers have a higher wattage than the application’s mini-mum amplifier power needed and provide the desired features because theyhave bass and treble controls. Either of these amplifiers will work well for thisapplication. Plus, there is room to expand the system on a 35W or higheramplifier without the need to purchase an additional amplifier in the future.

Easy Design™ Is Easy!That’s all it takes to design a robust, high-quality paging system with Bogen’s Easy Design line.

Ceiling Speaker Assembly Variations

Bogen ceiling speaker assemblies consist ofan 8" cone speaker (S86 or S810) mountedin a white enamel, steel-finished ceilinggrille (PG8W) with a transformer (T 725).The assemblies are available in severaloptions, as outlined here:

10

Ceiling Speaker Mounting HardwareTile BridgeTB8The TB8 is a load-bearing support. Designed to mount behind a ceiling tile, this steel bridge willdistribute the weight of a speaker, grille, and protective enclosure onto the ceiling grid.

Ceiling Speaker EnclosureRE84The RE84 is a protective steel enclosure for an 8" ceiling speaker. Designed to work with the TB8 Tile Bridge,the RE84 also allows ceiling speakers to be suspended from the building’s structure if required. Multipleknockouts are available for conduit connections and a foam insert improves audio performance. UL approved.

Mounting RingMR8The MR8 is a steel ring that can be used to mount ceiling speakers in applications that do not require thesupport of the TB8 (applications other than suspended ceilings).

Speaker Matching TransformersT725T72510These transformers allow an 8-ohm speaker to be connected to 70V or 25V amplifier outputs.An 8-ohm secondary connects to the speaker and the multi-tap primary connects to the 70Vor 25V amplifier output.

Special Protection

The SPT15A, SPT30A, andBDT30A use a cast aluminumend bell specially designed tomake them weatherproof.A rotary selector switch is usedto set the specific power tap forthe speaker.This switch’s entryinto the end bell is sealed by aspecial mounting nut with anintegral O-ring. A removableplastic panel protects both therotary switch and the electricalconnections.This panel pro-vides a narrow opening for thespeaker wires to exit, reducingthe chance of water infiltration.

Tilt & Swivel Base

Bogen’s 15- and 30-watt hornsinclude a unique and easy-to-use tilt and swivel mountingbase that provides nearly 180degrees of tilt and a full 360degrees of swivel. A singlewing nut locks in the angle ofthe speaker. Loosening thewing nut frees the speaker ineach rotational axis, making itfast and easy to precisely aimthe speakers where the soundis needed.The base provides 3holes for screw mounting anda slot to allow strapping thespeakers to beams.The actualmounting base can easily beremoved so that the base canbe installed separately.Thespeakers can then be attachedto the bases at a later time.

Power Supplies

Built-In Loop Telephone Interface

The PRS624DA and PRSASAC havebuilt-in loop start paging interfaces.Connections to the loop current sourceinside the supplies can feed a loop starttrunk or telephone directly. Another setof terminals provide a DC-block audiooutput suitable to drive amplifiedspeaker inputs directly (a GA2 bufferamp is required for systems larger than4 speakers). Bogen makes it easy foryou to install a complete paging systemwith only a power supply and speakers– it doesn’t get any easier!

Bogen’s series of amplified speakerproducts are an alternative to 70Vand 25V speaker systems. Each speak-er has a built-in amplifier with volumecontrol. All the speaker requires is24V DC and a low-level audio signal.

P r o d u c t F e a t u r e s :• 8"cone speakers available in

ceiling mount, wall baffle mountor unmounted versions

• Two horn speaker models: 5W and 15W• Volume control on all speakers• Perfect for small or large paging systems

These power supplies are designed to supply the low voltage DC requirements for all of Bogen’s products.Corded or outlet mounted, 120V AC primary supply input.

Greater Coverage

NEAR Orbit Speakers offer anextremely wide, even coverage patternup to 140 degrees.

Metal-Alloy ConeNEAR’s metal-alloy cone structureseliminate cone flex or "break up" inthe operating ranges which havetraditionally been a problem withconventional speakers that have apaper or plastic cone. In addition,NEAR speakers provide an additionalthermal path for the voice coil to staycool, as well as an extremely stablecone structure unaffected by thesurrounding environment.

“Spider-Free” Technology

Like all NEAR speakers, the Orbitswere designed with Magnetic LiquidSuspension (MLS), which includes a"spiderless" woofer. Sound is clearand less congested versus conventionaldrivers with spiders.

Conventional woofers have clothspiders. The advantages to NEAR’s"spider-free" speaker technologyinclude continuous, automatic voicecoil alignment adjustments, extendedlinear excursion, and the most efficientpath for cooling the voice coil. MLSfeatures a high-gauss ferrofluid thatguides the voice coil through themagnetic field.

Dual Venting Ports

Dual venting ports reduce port turbu-lence, thus allowing lower distortionlevels. The larger surface area affordedby the dual ports means that the airmoving through the vents is lessrestricted than in a smaller, singleport; thereby, not creating as muchnoise when operating, especially atlouder levels.

NEAR® Rock Landscape Loudspeakers

• MDT™ Technology – Metal Diaphragm Technology uses metal-alloydrivers (not paper and plastic) for extremely stable speaker cones,even after long periods of time. MDT is lightweight, strong, and pro-duces natural sound, significantly better phase response, musicalaccuracy, and fine detail of sound with ultra-low distortion.

• MLS™ Design – Magnetic Liquid Suspension uses the speaker’s ownmagnetic field to precisely center the voice coil in the magnet gap.Thiseliminates the need for distortion-causing voice coil spiders found inconventional speakers and allows longer speaker excursion.A proprietary Ferrofluid seals the magnet gap and voice coil againstmoisture and corrosion and heatsinks the voice coil to the magnetstructure for greater power handling, assuring long speaker life underdifficult environmental conditions. With MLS, the centering actuallybecomes more accurate as the music becomes louder.


• Works with 70V and 8-ohmspeaker systems

• 2-way design• Completely weatherproof• Rich, full-bodied sound

• Ultra-low distortion• Wide, elevated sound dispersion• Rugged, heavy, and realistic• Available in two natural cabinet colors

** Model names include a “G” or “S” suffix to identify speaker color choice: G (granite) or S (sandstone).

Attenuators

Vandal-Resistant SpeakersExtreme Human Environments

It takes a specially-engineered speakerto stand up to the extreme abuse ofhuman beings. The VRS-Series has beeninstalled in some of the most demand-ing applications, from high-crime areadoor-answer systems to some of themost notorious correctional facilities.

What Tough Is (Exploded View)

The VRS-Series features an 11-gaugestainless steel faceplate (#1). That’s asolid 1/8"of the hardest steel around.

Behind that, there’s a heavy-duty steelbarrier (#2) which is designed to letsound out and nothing in. The barrier isbaffled so that knives, nails, paper clips,and anything else that might fit into thegrille openings will not enter the speakernor make contact with the speaker’s cone.

Then for further protection, a finely per-forated metal grille (#3) covers theentire speaker to intercept any objectthat might snake its way through thebaffles of the steel barrier.

The VRS-Series not only keeps objectsout, but fluids also cannot damage thespeaker because the speaker’s cone ismade of water-resistant plastic (#4).

Convenience

Only 3 wires connect the attenuator tothe speaker system. The attenuators aredesigned to reduce the power reachingthe speakers by 3 dB for every step from10 to 3. The last 2 steps reduce theamplifier power by 6 dB. An off position(step 0) is provided to completely turnoff any audio to the speaker group controlled by the attenuators. The attenuators are rated in watts RMS,which make them ideal for heavy useapplications.

P r o d u c t F e a t u r e s :• Withstands attempts at vandalism in hostile environments• Four layers of defense: ❶ a heavy-duty 11-gauge stainless steel faceplate, ❷ a baffled steel

guard protects the speaker from puncture, ❸ a finely perforated screen stops thin, flexible objectsfrom damaging the moisture-resistant plastic speaker cone, and ❹ water-resistant cone

• Grille openings are cross-positioned so that nothing can enter the speaker, not even thesmallest or sharpest objects

• Mounts with one-way security screws (included)• 3" weather-resistant cone speaker• 1/2-watt speaker power on 25V speaker line• Optional low impedance 8-ohm

These Vandal-Resistant Speaker Assemblies ensure that sound communication gets through reliably, despite being located in environments susceptible to damage and destruction. The assemblyincludes a 3" plastic cone speaker, securely located and protectedbehind steel barriers. Available with or without call button.

The AT-Series of attenuators allows the output levelof a group of loudspeakers to be set from a wall-mounted volume control, without affecting overallamplifier volume settings. These rugged attenuatorshave 10 levels of sound control, plus an off-setting.

Signal-Processing ModulesWhen signal-processing output modulesare installed into the Power Vector's lasttwo module bays, they automaticallyinsert themselves into the mix bus signalpath leading to the power amplifier stage.When two of these output modules areinstalled, their effects are cascaded withthe second to last bay's module process-ing the signal first and then passing it tothe module in the last bay.Two benefitsare gained by this innovation: (1) theeffects insert jacks are still available foruse by external processing equipment.(2) the signal-processing output modulesact on the signal on the raw mix bus sig-nal before any other user controls, likevolume, bass, and treble can affect it.Thisthen ensures that signal level dependentprocessors, such as the CMP1R Comp-ressor / Limiter and the ANS1R AmbientNoise Sensor modules, perform as intendedregardless of front panel control changes.

Remote Volume ControlThe master volume control is motorized.By using a motor to physically move thecontrol knob, a new level of remotecontrol adjustability is achieved.

Regardless of where the master volumecontrol is set on the amplifier, the remotecan move it, up or down. Since theremote control signal is now the drivesignal to the motor, noise on the remotecontrol leads cannot mix in with theamplifier signals.This gives the PowerVector a fully functional and clean way ofremotely controlling overall system level.

Traditionally, remote volume control wasaccomplished by having the remote con-trol vary an analog control signal to anopto-resistor in the amplifier.This opto-resistor would further attenuate the sig-nal level in the amplifier, based on theremote control setting.This approach hastwo drawbacks: (1) the maximum volumethat can be achieved by changing theremote control was limited by the mastervolume control setting on the amplifier,or vice-versa pending on how the ampli-fier was designed. The remote couldlower volume, but could not furtherincrease it. (2) the control signal, becauseit is analog, is vulnerable to noise. If a60 Hz hum was picked up by the longremote volume leads, it could cause theopto-resistor to modulate the volumelevel at the hum frequency.

Dual Band EQ

The unique dual-function equalizer canbe used for acoustic shaping or for feed-back control.

• Acoustic Shaping - Full range equalizationis provided for correcting general frequencyresponse issues that exist in the applicationvenue.The full audio spectrum is covered on1-octave centers with a boost/cut of 12 dB. Inthis mode, the equalizer can be used to com-pensate for room acoustics, or to satisfy thelistening preference of the user.

• Feedback Control - In this mode, the equal-izer’s control range is reduced to cover only thelower half of the audio spectrum (where feed-back howls occur), but the individual filters arenow on closer 2/3-octave spacing.This allowsnarrower bands of frequencies to be controlled,which is particularly useful to reduce feedbackof live sources that can increase the effectiveloudness the system can achieve.

Variable Music Mute

This feature allows control over the level ofbackground music (fed though the Aux inputs)heard during a telephone page announce-ment.The convention used to be to completelymute background music during pages.TheGold Seal amplifiers provide full muting aswell as no muting and intermediate attenua-tion levels of –10 dB and –21 dB. After the tele-phone page has ended, the background musicsmoothly fades back to its original level for avery professional sound.

Telephone Paging Control

Input 5 serves a dual function as either a bal-anced mic input or a 600-ohm balanced tele-phone input.The Tel input includes bothvoice-activated triggering for muting the AUXinputs and automatic level control for provid-ing constant paging level. ALC compensatesfor different voice levels and speaking stylesof the individuals using the system. Controlsare provided on the rear of the amplifier toadjust trigger threshold of the voice-activatedmuting so that it will not falsely trigger fromnoise on the input. An ALC adjustment isalso provided to allow control over theamount of compression applied to loud sig-nals to keep them at a nominal signal level.

Aphex Aural Exciter

Crisp, clean, intelligible sound is the goal ofevery paging system.The Aphex® Aural Excitercircuit, which was originally developed for therecording industry, adds back the high fre-quency harmonics that are lost through thehandsets and speakers. With one simple con-trol, you can adjust the amount of high fre-quency content the Aphex circuit adds backuntil optimum intelligibility is reached.

Modular AmplifierThe M-Class Series of amplifiers are mod-ular amps that can accept up to two inputmodules per unit.These modules offer acost effective and convenient way to add avariety of features to a system. A balancedline input module (BAL2S) is shipped witheach unit. See page 23.

Modes of OperationEach model includes a 3-position switchthat can be set to one of three modes ofoperation: Stereo mode, 70V Mono mode,or Dual Mono mode.

• Stereo In this mode, the amp supplies two inde-pendent channels of low-impedanceamplification.These channels can be usedto supply left and right audio for stereoinstallations of 2 separate zones of amplifi-cation with different audio programs.

• 70V Mono In this mode, the amp supplies a singlechannel of amplification.This mode alsomixes the signals from each input moduleinto a mono program. By assigning eachmodule to a different bus, a 2:1 mixer isformed with the front-mounted level con-trols adjusting the mix. In addition, onemodule can be set to mute the other whenit is active, thereby providing an effectivepaging system.

• Dual Mono This mode is similar to the 70V Monomode except that in this mode the ampsupplies two channels of low-impedanceamplification.This mode still mixes theinput signal from the different modulesbut a Channel Balance control is providedto adjust the output levels of one channelagainst the other.

P r o d u c t F e a t u r e s :• 3 Mono power levels: 600W, 900W, or 1200W

for 70V speaker systems• 3 Stereo power levels: 300W, 450W, or 600W

per channel @ 4 ohms• 3 Modes of operation to choose from:

Stereo (4-ohm), Dual Mono (4-ohm),or 70V Mono

• 2 Module input bays for flexible modularinput capability

• Low noise, low distortion, and high slew rate• Professional, high-impedance, balanced stereo

input module included (BAL2S) • 3 selectable low-frequency, roll-off choices • 2x1 mixer function when in mono modes• Insert connections for outboard equipment

(in mono modes)

• Post- and Pre-EQ Output Feeds (summed monoout in stereo mode)

• DC, overload, short circuit, and thermal protectioncircuits

• Clip limiting circuits for speaker protection • Power-saving Sleep Mode for intermittent use• Status, Signal, and Clip/Limit indicators

• Back-Slope AC voltage stabilization for dependable performance over varying AC line voltages

• Recessed volume control knobs• Mounts in 2 rack spaces (3-1/2") directly stackable• 2 Independent, continuously variable, cooling fans• Easily removable front fan grilles with filters• Stable into 2-ohm loads

Operational Mode SelectorChoose one of three settings tomeet application needs: 70VMono, Dual Mono (4-ohm), orStereo (4-ohm). See the sidebaron this page for description ofoperating modes.Channel Balance Control

(in Dual Mono operation mode) -Allows the output level of onechannel to be lower than theother channel’s output level.

Effects Loop - Provides insertpoint for outboard signal-pro-cessing equipment when theamplifier is in either 70V Monoor Dual Mono modes (modularinputs are in a 2:1 mixer configu-ration).

Output Feeds - In mono modes,the connectors provide output signalfeeds both before and after any out-board signal-processing. In stereomode, the Pre-EQ connector pro-vides mono mix output of the stereoinput signal.

Low-Impedance OutputsFor 4- to 8-ohm speaker loads. Unit is stable intoloads as low as 2 ohms.

Cooling Fans - Two independ-ent, variable-speed cooling fansrespond only as needed to keepthe amplifiers cool and reducedust build-up.

70V Speaker OutputFor 70V constant voltage speaker systems. Provides a single channel of amplification.

Module Bay - The unit can acceptone or two Bogen input modules.Each amplifier comes with a balanced,high-impedance stereo input module.

Lo-Cut Filter Switch - Select alow-frequency roll-off of 65 Hz or125 Hz for transformer-coupled andhorn speakers. Flat position allowsfull low-frequency performance.

possible w/ an accessory transformer (TL100)• 19" rack-mount design (3 rack spaces)

These high-performance power amplifiers can safely drive loads continuously at full (RMS) power, inambient temperatures of up to 120° F. Overload protection includes an electronic shutdown circuitand a thermal breaker.

Heavy-Duty Operation

The HTA line of amplifiers are designedto be workhorses. Large heat sinks andhuge transformers allow these amplifiersto supply continuous, full (RMS) power toloads, even at high ambient temperatures– up to 120° F. The HTA amplifiers areconvection-cooled, so they provide theultimate in set-and-forget operation.

More amazing than the heavy-duty capa-bility of the HTA amplifiers is the qualityof the output. The frequency responsewill remain within +/- 1 dB and have lessthan 0.5% distortion over the entire audiorange (20 Hz – 20 kHz). What is so specialabout this? The output is transformer-cou-pled. Few transformer-isolated amplifierscan even come close to these specifica-tions. An enormous output transformerusing proprietary coil winding techniquesis what allows the HTA to reach this levelof performance.

A Power MOSFET output stage completesthe extremely reliable and durable per-formance of these amplifiers. This type oftransistor does not suffer from many ofthe failure modes of the more typicaltransistors (bi-polar types). The result isan amplifier that can operate reliably atfull power, continuously, in 120° F ambi-ent temperatures and supply trans-former-isolated, high-quality, full band-width (20 Hz – 20 kHz) audio.Accessories

Telephone Paging AmplifiersSpecialized Telephone Input

The TPU-Series’ 600-ohm transformerbalanced input is perfectly suited to con-nect to paging ports and paging adapterssuch as Bogen’s TAMB. Here are a fewspecially designed features:

• The background music will mute when-ever paging activity is present on thetelephone input, even if control contactsare not available. (Separate mute controlcontacts are also available.)

• To avoid problems with noise on thelines falsely muting the backgroundmusic, a built-in VOX threshold control(not on TPU15A) lets you decide what’s areal signal and what’s noise.

• Because not everyone speaks at thesame level, the Automatic Level Controlfeature keeps loud voices from boomingout of the paging system’s speakers.

Aphex® Aural Exciter

Crisp, clean, intelligible sound is the goalof every paging system. The Aphex®

Aural Exciter circuit, which was originallydeveloped for the recording industry, addsback the high frequency harmonics thatare lost through the handsets and speak-ers. With one simple control, you canadjust the amount of high-frequency con-tent the Aphex® circuit adds back untiloptimum intelligibility is reached.

Variable Music Mute

Add some polish to announcements byusing the TPU’s built-in variable mutefeature. Variable mute allows you to con-trol the level of the music heard in thebackground during a page. It’s fullyadjustable from no muting of music to fullsuppression of music. The TPU also grace-fully fades the muted music back in afterthe page is finished for a smooth, profes-sional sound (not available on TPU15A).

Bridging

Bridging two TPU amplifiers permits themto be used in tandem with one another toincrease the total output power of the sys-tem, thereby permitting additional speak-ers to be added. For example, when two250-watt amplifiers are bridged, the totaloutput capacity of the system is 500 watts.Also, both amplifiers will receive the sameinput signal, amplify it, and deliver it tothe speaker loads connected to eachamplifier (not available on TPU15A).

TPU35B, TPU60B,TPU100B, TPU250

TPU15A

Bogen’s TPU-Series of amplifiers are the ideal choice within the telephone paging industry. With five modelsto choose from, ranging in power from 15 watts to 250 watts, each model provides signal-activated, automaticmuting of background music during a telephone page, and gradual return of music following a page.

P r o d u c t F e a t u r e s :• 15, 35, 60, 100 and 250 watt models specially

What Does The Pro-Matrix Do?The Pro-Matrix products are ideallysuited for restaurants and similar venues.It provides 4 Aux and 2 Mic inputs thatcan be distributed into 3 different zones.The Pro-Matrix automatically switches thedifferent audio sources based on a preset,user-programmed priority hierarchy. Thisallows the correct audio to reach the cor-rect areas without any user intervention,making operation ultra simple.

For example, suppose a restaurant has adining area, lounge, and waiting area thatare in need of the following audio sources:• The Dining Area - Uninterrupted back-ground music only, no other sources.• The Bar - Hostess paging mic and eitherbackground music, jukebox, or TV audio.• The Waiting Area - Hostess paging micand background music only.

The Pro-Matrix adapts quickly to this sit-uation. Connect each area to a differentaudio channel. Then connect the back-ground music source, jukebox, and TVaudio to the aux inputs, and connect thehostess paging mic.The rest of the installa-tion is completed using the detachable10-character control panel. Using simpleprompted programming, give each inputthe priority it should have relative to theother sources for each area. Undesiredsources can be removed from the prioritylist in a particular area so they cannot cut in.

This flexible priority assignment allows allthe sources needed in the lounge to behandled correctly and automatically, whilethe same source in the dining and waitingareas are automatically handled differentlyaccording to their needs.

In addition to flexible priority assignment ofinputs, the Pro-Matrix has 10 differentmenus that allow control of a host of systemoperations from applying phantom powerto mics to setting the muting level of musicduring mic pages and much more.

Zone Control ModuleZone Groups

One of the unique features of the ZPM3is its ability to group together a numberof zones and page in to them at thesame time. Many times the functionallayout of a facility dictates how the pag-ing zones are arranged. However, thepeople you are trying to contact mayspend their time in more than one zonearea. By grouping zones, you increaseyour chance of contacting that person.

An example of a typical 3-zone facility is amedium size location with an office area,manufacturing area, and warehouse. Eacharea is set up as an individual zone. Anumber of employees may spend theirtime in both the manufacturing and ware-house areas. By grouping these two zonesand paging simultaneously into both, thechances of the page being heard by thespecific individual are greatly improved.

For this same facility, the ZPM3 can alsoproduce a tone that will be heard onlyin a specific group of areas. This is idealfor signaling within the factory forbreaks, lunch, and shift changes – butwill not be heard in the office area. Anexternal contact closure from a masterclock is typically used to trigger thetones.

3-Zone PagingModuleZPM3

P r o d u c t F e a t u r e s :• 3 Zone paging plus All-Call• 3 easily programmable zone groups (1-3 zones in each)• One-way and two-way paging (talk back operation requires TBA15 Talk Back Amplifier)• 100 watts total power handling capability• Background music input• Directly interfaces to paging ports (requires contact closures), loop start, and ground

start trunks• Interfaces to station ports using TAMB Telephone Access Module• Selectable pre-announce and confirmation tones signal back through the handset and over

the paging system• Built-in night ringer triggered from 90V ring or contact closure• Separate night ringer zone group• Two selectable tone types can be directed to one or more zones for shift change or

emergency announcements (separate zone group)• Privacy beep can be enabled during two-way operation to prohibit eavesdropping• Separate volume controls for tones, night ring, and background music• 24V or 48V talk battery option• 48V operation requires additional PRS48 power supply• Optional back-up battery retains zone group field programming (batteries not included)• FCC Part 68 approved• Wall-mount design• Works with self-amplified or central amplifier paging systems • Punch-block connections (type 66)• Industrial grade steel cabinet

The ZPM3 allows for economical one- or two-way paging (w/ TBA15 Talk Back Amplifier) to be directed in toany of up to 3 different paging areas. Zones can be grouped together so that more than one zone is paged atthe same time. All areas can also be paged at once. Zone selection can be made using DTMF tones or pulsedialing.

Telephone Interface


For trunk port interfacing, external-regulated 24V @ 90 mA or48V DC @ 105 mA (not included).

For station access, no power supply required.

Double Duty

The problem with selecting a telephoneline interface device is knowing exactlywhat type of line will be available at thesite. Because of mistakes in planning, areturn trip to the supply house is notthat uncommon. The TAMB wasdesigned to eliminate this problem.

The TAMB has the ability to interface toground start, loop start, and analog ring-up lines. To make things eveneasier, the TAMB doesn’t even need apower supply when interfacing with ananalog ring-up line – it works off of thetalk battery. Punch down two wires toconnect the telephone line, two wires toconnect the paging input...and you’redone. What could be easier?

The TAMB interfaces a telephone system with a paging system allowing announcements to be madethrough any telephone. Any of three types of analog ports can be connected using the TAMB: loop starttrunk, ground start trunk, and station port (90V ring up). This wide range of port compatibility makes theTAMB indispensable for any telephone paging application because it eliminates the possibility of mismatching paging interfaces and port types.

ANS500MSensor Microphone (one included w/system)

Sound Levels

Many locations suffer from changes inambient noise levels. Paging systemswith preset levels servicing these areasare either too soft when noise levels arehigh or too loud when noise levels arelow. The ANS500 dynamically changesthe paging level in response to changesin the ambient noise in the area.

Shopping Centers: After work and onweekends, the noise level in a shoppingarea can be considerably higher thanduring off-peak hours.The ANS500 hasa response time jumper that can be set toincrease the paging level slowly. So as thenoise gradually increases as more peoplecome into the area, the ANS500 will con-tinue to increase the paging level.

Woodworking Shop: The ANS500 canalso be used in areas where noise levelscan change abruptly. For example, in awoodworking shop, large changes innoise level happen as machines arestarted and shut down. The ANS500 hasa fast response setting that will allowthe paging level to change as soon asthe noise level changes.

ANS500

The ANS500 automatically adjusts the paging level in response to changes in the ambient noise of an area.Small sensor microphones monitor the ambient noise levels in an area served by a single amplifier. Pagingsignal output levels will be increased as ambient noise rises and decreased as noise levels drop. The ANS500control unit will adjust (boost or reduce) the input signal levels to the amplifier to ensure that the pagingannouncements will be heard at an audible, clear, and comfortable level over the current ambient noise.

Connecting Amps to Other Equipment

When connecting amplifiers to other equip-ment, the WMT1A is a “must have” becauseit can solve a variety of problems.

• Where signal levels are insufficient todrive an amplifier's AUX input to fullvolume, installing the WMT1A on theinput will increase the voltage to the input by about 5 times, providing plenty of level.

• Where input ground loops are causing ahum problem, the WMT1A's isolationtransformer can break the loop andeliminate the hum.

• When unbalanced signals need to be sentover long distances, the WMT1A canbalance them at both the send and receivesides and reduce the possibility of noisepickup.

• The WMT1A allows a microphone inputto be used for an AUX signal input.By moving a jumper on the WMT1A, theattenuation of the unit is changed on thehigh-impedance side to be 100 times lessthan the signal level on the 600-ohm side.A MIC input should work well with thesignal at this reduced level. A female XLR to RCA adapter can then be used to makethe connections.

AM/FM 35-Watt ReceiverPaging Input Details

The RM350D is oftentimes installed inretail locations for supplying backgroundmusic alone, but it has a full-featuredmicrophone paging input that makes itideal for more demanding installations.The microphone input is a low-impedancebalanced input that works with dynamicmicrophones. Whenever a page is made,the background music is muted.This canbe done in two ways: 1) audio activity onthe mic input, or 2) a switch contact clo-sure. For enhanced flexibility, the RM350Dcan be set to respond to either a normallyopen or normally closed switch contact.The DDU250 and MBS1000A (see page 44)are perfect desktop microphones for thisapplication since they each have a push-to-talk function.

By using a WMT1A matching trans-former, the MIC input can be connectedto the paging port of a telephone system.The audio-activated mute function of theRM350D will cause the backgroundmusic to mute whenever a page is made.In addition, this input also has automaticlevel control (ALC), which controls howloud a page can be and ensures thatpeople with loud voices don’t boom overthe paging system.

Music-On-Hold Source

The RM350D lets you make the most ofyour paging/background music system.A Pre-Page output connector on the rearof the unit supplies only the back-ground music without any of the pagingannouncements. Connect this output tothe telephone system’s music-on-holdinput and callers will enjoy the back-ground music too. The Pre-Page outputwill supply either the tuner or AUX program material depending on the setting of the Aux/Tuner button.

Speaker Zones

Built into the RM350D is a convenient4-zone selector switch group. Thesepush-on/push-off switches allow you to control how paging is distributedthroughout a facility. Simply turn onand off groups of speakers as needschange. An “ALL” button is also providedto turn on all system speakers, over-riding any individual setting.

Targeted Communication

The PI35A and SI35A allow backgroundmusic to play, without interruption, inselected areas while one or more roomscommunicate directly with the mainunit. This feature is useful in a numberof applications, including:

Schools: A live news broadcast can beplayed over the system into all rooms. Ifan administrator needs a student, thecall for the student can be placed direct-ly into the classroom the student is in,without interrupting the live newsbroadcast to all the other classrooms.

Medical Center: If a nurse at the maindesk needs to communicate immediatelywith one of the physicians, the nursecan call directly into the exam roomwhere the physician is without inter-rupting the background music beingplayed in all patient areas. This keepsthe physician’s demand and scheduleprivate, so patients do not become con-cerned about the length of their waitbefore they get to see the physician.

Intercoms Three System Setups

The CM-Series provides intercom func-tionality for small offices, warehouses,and small stores that do not have aninternal phone system. There are threebasic setups available:

1) All-Master Stations: Every stationin the system is a master station. Anystation can call any other station.

2) Single-Master System: The systemonly has one master station. All remotestations can only call the master station.The master station can call any of theremote stations.

3) Mixed Master/Remote System: Thesystem has more than one master station.The master stations can call any of theother master stations and any of the remotestations associated/wired to it. Remote stations can only call the master stationassociated/wired to it.

Hands-Free Communication

When a master station calls a remotestation, the remote station can speakand listen hands-free. When a remotestation calls its associated master sta-tion, the master station can speak andlisten hands-free. The master stationsalso have a talk-lock button for dictationto a remote station, or to monitor aquiet or critical area.

Trigger Input

The ProHold family of products hasuses beyond supplying music to holdbuses. We include a simple stereo minijack that provides a dual-function trig-ger input that gives these units addedflexibility. Trigger the one-time play witha momentary contact closure to havethe ProHold play an entire message onetime and stop. Additional contact clo-sures that happen during the messageplay are ignored. This is a great featurefor museums, promotional displays, andsecurity announcements.

The ProHold can also be triggered thenstopped during message play. By clos-ing the trigger contacts and holdingthem closed for more than 5 seconds,the ProHold will stop the message assoon as the contacts are opened. Thenext trigger will start the message fromthe beginning. This makes the ProHoldideal for message and information lineslike movie timetables since the messagestops as soon as the caller hangs up.By using the TAMB telephone interfacemodule to interface the ProHold to analogring-up lines, you can create a simpleand effective telephone info line.

The ProHold also provides a status indi-cator line from the trigger connectorthat provides feedback to externalequipment as to whether it is in the idlemode or playing a message.

1-Watt Output

All ProHold models provide a 1-wattoutput. This connection will power any8-ohm speaker with up to 1-watt ofaudio power. In many applications, thisis plenty of power for an announcementto be heard. By using the 1-watt outputand the trigger input, a self-containedannouncement system for applicationslike the end of moving walk ways (con-tinuous play messages) or museum displays (push to play) can be created.

70V Paging Systems consist of:• A Centralized Amplifier which offers a variety of features to enhance voice and music reproduction as well as easy systemexpansion.

• Speakers that connect with a simple 2-wire installation becausethe power is supplied from the centralized amplifier.

• An Interface Device that connects the paging system to thetelephone system. (Depending on the telephone system andamplifier, an interface device may not be needed.)

The output of a central paging amplifier is designed to limit themaximum output voltage that can be supplied to the speakers.Thismaximum output voltage remains the same regardless of theamplifier’s power capacity. Because the output voltage is limited,speaker manufacturers can design products that consume a specificamount of power from the amplifier.This is beneficial in two ways.

First, the speakers will not consume more power than they aredesigned for; so, they cannot blow out from using an amplifierthat’s too powerful. Second, since each speaker’s power consump-tion is known, the correct amplifier power for the paging system issimply the total power drawn by all the speakers.

Easy To Control Speaker Power Draw

What Is A 70V System?

Low Currents Allow Long RunsWhy do distributed sound systems use centralized amplifiers with70V output signals? Because 70V systems can handle extremelylong lengths of wire to connect the speakers to the amplifier,and they can power a large number of speakers in each system.

When sending power signals over long distances, it is important tominimize the amount of current flowing in the wire. High currentsallow too much power, or electrical energy, to be wasted in wiresin the form of heat.

The power provided to a load (for example, a speaker) is equal tothe voltage multiplied by the current.

P = V x I(Power) (Voltage) (Current)

Therefore, to reduce the amount of power wasted in wires (and thus, to reduce heat), increase the voltage and decrease thecurrent.This is where 70V systems come in – they use a highervoltage and a lower current, thus reducing the amount ofelectrical energy wasted in wires without generating heat in wires.By decreasing the current by a factor of two, the power loss inthe wire drops 4 times.

Low ImpedanceLow impedance speakers are designed to be located close to theamplifier and require large amounts of current at relatively low volt-ages.This type of speaker cannot be used with the 70V outputs ofcentral paging amplifiers because it does not have the necessary step-down transformer. However, many Bogen paging amplifiers do provideoutputs compatible with low impedance speakers. Low impedancespeakers are also very limited as to the number of speakers that canbe connected to the amplifier. If too many speakers (sometimes asfew as 4) are added, the amplifier will quickly overload.

25V Special InstallationsPaging speakers with step-down transformers sometimes have pro-visions to be used with amplifier outputs that provide 25V signalsinstead of 70V. The operation of these speakers and the way thatthey are applied in paging systems are identical to 70V speakers.Thereason for the lower voltage is based on certain types of installationswhere the use of the lower 25V amplifier output signal is preferred.

Amplified SpeakersAmplified speakers have a self-contained amplifier in each speakerwith just enough capacity to power the speaker to its ratedoutput level.These speakers require 4 wires to be connected toeach speaker – 2 wires for the DC power that the internalamplifier consumes and 2 wires to carry the low level signal thatis to be amplified.Amplified speakers operate off of 24V powersupplies. Depending on the number of speakers or distancebetween speakers, several power supplies may need to bepositioned at different locations throughout the paging area.Amplified speakers also require the use of an input controllerthat conditions the input signals for the system so that they arecompatible with the requirements of the amplified speakers.

What Makes A 70V Speaker?

Other Speakers

Step-Down Transformer70V paging speakers have a step-down transformer, which is usedto convert the high-voltage/low-current amplifier signal of the central paging amplifier to the low-voltage/high-current signal thatspeakers use.

Taps The primary side of the step-down transformer (the side thatconnects to the amplifier) has a number of connections (calledtaps or power taps) that can be used to select the peak powerthe speaker will consume from the amplifier.

Why Taps?The selection of the power tap has an effect on both the amplifierpower needed for the system and the volume of the speaker.Themore power a speaker consumes, the louder the sound from thespeaker. By tapping speakers for lower power in quiet areas andfor higher power in noisier areas, the sound level of the pagingsystem can be controlled and balanced.

It is important that speakers be tapped correctly for the area thatthey will be used in. Setting all the speakers for the same powerregardless of the amount of noise in different areas will cause balance problems. If the amplifier is adjusted to produce adequatepaging levels in the noisy areas, the paging levels in the quiet areas

will be too loud or vice versa. Selecting the proper tap setting isnot difficult, but it does require knowing the level of ambient noisein different areas. (See Sound Pressure Levels Chart on page 65.)

Of course, the best way to determine how effectively a systemcovers an area is to test it. Never install a paging system and leavethe site without testing it. Sound adjustments or additional speak-ers may be needed. Some paging equipment, such as Bogen’sPCM2000, include a test tone that is sent to all speakers in thesystem so installers can check the system installation. For othersystems, the installer can have pages made while the installer walksthe area to listen for appropriate sound levels and uniform cover-age of the system to find out if and where adjustments need to bemade, and to make sure that all speakers are properly connected.

Easy Design™ Without TapsTo make designing paging systems as easy as possible, Bogen offersa line of Easy Design™ speakers.These speakers do not requiretapping and allow for on-the-fly adjustment of speaker paging lev-els.All the information that is needed to design a complete systemare the dimensions of the different paging areas and the type ofenvironment.With this basic information, you can use the EasyDesign speaker line to quickly design a robust, professional, andpowerful paging system.

70V Centralized Paging Amplifiers

Centralized amplifiers are extremely compact and comprehensivepieces of electronics because they provide:

• Multiple Features – They include provisions for numerousinput styles for different music and paging sources, multiple outputtypes, and various tone and level control features.

• 2-Wire Installation – One of the most convenient aspects ofcentralized amplifier systems is the simple 2-wire connection to allthe paging speakers. And accidentally reversing the speaker wireconnections is not harmful to the electronics and typically has little or no effect on system operation.

• One Package Amplifier – This single piece of equipment contains all the electronics needed for a basic paging system,making it quick and easy to install as well as more reliable.Centralized amplifiers, unlike amplified speakers, contain all thevarious circuits needed for paging – signal conditioning, amplifica-tion, power supplies, and heat control – built into one package.All these items are designed to work together as a single piece ofequipment and provide clean, smooth audio power to the speakers.You get exactly what you need – without having to research andprice out the different electronics components required for amplified speaker systems.

• Full Power – Centralized amplifiers are designed to delivertheir full-rated power to the paging system.All the electrical components are designed to meet the published full power output specifications.

70V OutputA 70V output is available on Bogen amplifiers and is the primary type of output for paging systems.A step-up output transformer in the amplifierprovides the high 70V output signal.All speakers with step-down transformers(rated for 70V systems) are connected to this output.

Direct OutputDirect outputs are used with low impedance speakers.These out-puts have an exceptional low frequency (bass) response, providingthe fuller sound that low impedance speakers can reproduce.Certain Bogen amplifiers, designed for general purpose soundreinforcement applications, include this feature which allows thestep-up output transformer to be bypassed for direct connectionto the power amplifier’s output.

Other Output Types(25V, 16- and 8-ohm)There are a number of other standard speaker impedances that Bogen amplifiers can be connectedto.These outputs provide the correct speaker signallevels for different configurations of low impedancespeakers.The lower voltage, 25V, output is providedon many Bogen amplifiers for use in paging installa-tions that require a speaker voltage of less than 70Vto meet building code requirements.

Amplifier Input TypesAuxiliary Input (AUX)The Auxiliary input is the most common type of input used inpaging.This input is designed to connect to most music sources,such as a CD player or tuner. Usually the connector for such aninput is a Phono jack (also called an RCA jack). It connects toother equipment using standard audio cables.

The Aux input has an outer connection that is directly connectedto the equipment’s ground and a center connection that is the“hot” input.Aux inputs, sometimes referred to as Hi-Z or highimpedance inputs, have a high input impedance so that they won’tput too much of a load on the source equipment’s output.Thistype of input is “unbalanced”.You must use shielded cable withthis type of input in order to avoid getting noise induced into thesystem.

Normally, connections between source equipment and the amplifi-er’s Aux input should not be too long, about 6 feet.The problemwith long connections is that the cable acts like an antenna, pick-ing up any electrical noise in the area.The longer the cable, themore noise that is picked up.

Telephone Input (TEL)The Tel Input is so named because it was designed to be compatiblewith page port outputs of telephone systems.The Tel input is a 600-ohm transformer-coupled input that:

• matches the impedance of the telephone port to provide proper interfacing

• electrically isolates the amplifier from the PBX or Key System

• provides a balanced input with a great deal of noise immunity

Bogen’s Tel inputs do not have to be shielded, but it is always a goodidea to provide more noise immunity (normally a ground terminal isavailable on the input for the shield connection). Higher noiseimmunity allows the amplifier to be located much farther away fromthe source equipment than what an unbalanced input will allow.

The input transformer is not designed to pass loop current from atelephone line.Any time you want to connect to a telephone sta-tion or trunk port, you will need to use a telephone interfacemodule like the TAMB, which converts the telephone signal into a“dry” audio signal compatible with the amplifier’s Tel input.

Microphone Input (MIC)The traditional paging amplifier input is the Microphone input. Micinputs were the primary announcement source until connectionto the telephone system became possible. Mic inputs are still usedin public address applications today.

When connected properly, a microphone can be hundreds of feetaway from the amplifier and still provide clear, quiet audio.

Mic inputs are the most sensitive of all the amplifier inputs andtend to pick up the stray electrical noise in an area.To combat thenoise pickup problem, Mic inputs are balanced. Just like Tel inputs,the balancing of the input provides a high level of noise immunity.Mic inputs are also made to have a fairly low input impedance,which makes it difficult for electrical noise to get induced.The lowimpedance effectively keeps down noise, which makes its signallevel smaller.

Microphone cable is always shielded.The input requires 3 connec-tions – two for the balanced signal and one for the shield ground.You can reverse the balanced signal leads and the system will stillwork properly. However, if you mis-wire the ground connections,the amplifier can become unstable and start to oscillate.Whenthis occurs, the amplifier may heat up enough to cause its protection circuits to shut it down or it may produce very distorted sound.

Designing a system and determining an installation’s requirementsare quite simple.After you set up your first system, the steps willappear logical and soon the process will become routine.

Before you begin designing or quoting a job, you will need somebasic information regarding the site and the end-user’s needs. Usethe Site Survey Check List below to ensure that you collect all theinformation you will need to complete the design of the pagingsystem.When you have completed the check list, refer to theEasy Design™ Guide (pages 5-9), or the multi-tap design section(continue on page 58), to create a bill of material for the equipmentyou need for the installation’s sound system.

Tools NeededYou will need to bring the following tools with you when you visitthe installation site:• measuring wheel/tape measure • sound pressure meter• calculator • Bogen Products catalog• Photocopies of Site Survey Check List (this page)

Obtain a copy of the floor plan, or create sketches of any areasthat may require special design considerations (high shelving, speakermounting locations, exposed beams, amplifier location, etc.).

A successful paging system depends on more than just under-standing the physical requirements of the installation site, it alsodepends on knowing which special paging features the user willbenefit from and use on a daily basis.These include zone paging,tone controls, night ringer, feedback elimination, ambient noisesensors, multiple inputs, etc.

Glossary Of Amplifier FeaturesALC (Automatic Level Control)Automatically adjusts the amplifier’s output level to ensure a consistent paginglevel.ALC keeps loud voices from booming out of the paging system’s speakersand allows people with weak voices to be clearly heard. It also enhances intelligibility in difficult acoustic environments.

Aphex® Aural ExciterRegenerates the high-frequency harmonics lost during the amplification processthrough the handsets and speakers, and adds them back to the audio signal. Thisresults in increased intelligibility and presence, greater perceived loudness (with-out increasing power), and reduced listener fatigue.

Automatic MuteAn audio-activated (VOX) circuit detects a page announcement and automaticallymutes background music during a page.This feature typically includes a VOX sensitivity control (see VOX Sensitivity) to prevent paging line noise from mutingthe background music accidentally.

AUX Inputs (See page 55.)

Back-Slope™ AC Voltage StabilizationAssures consistent performance and reliability by regulating the proper amountof AC energy to the amplifier's power toroid, as AC line voltages rise and fall (upto 10%), thus maintaining maximum performance.This also prevents damage tothe amplifier over varying line voltages and load conditions.

Bass & Treble ControlsSeparate bass and treble controls allow greater control of the high and low frequency response of the paging system. High or low frequencies can be cut orboosted to enhance intelligibility or to make the system sound more natural.

ClippingA form of distortion caused by cutting off the peaks of audio signals. Clippingusually occurs in the amplifier when its input signal is too large or when the voltage rails of the amplifier's power supply cannot deliver the necessary voltageto the amplifier's output.

Cross-TalkUnwanted coupling of one audio channel into another, or when some portion ofa signal from a music source that you are not listening to leaks into the circuit ofthe source that you are listening to.

DistortionInexact reproduction of an audio signal.

EqualizerBoosts or cuts specific audio frequency bands to smooth out system response oreliminate acoustical feedback (squealing). Improves intelligibility, restores natural-ness of sound, and increases usable power. Slide controls adjust amount of cut orboost in each frequency band and create a graphical representation of the systemfrequency response.

Frequency ResponseHow consistently the signal is produced over a given range of frequency. Usuallyexpressed as a specific range (45 Hz to 17 kHz, for example) and combined witha plus/minus decibel figure (±) indicating how much variation, in the amount ofoutput signal, the device may introduce over that range of frequencies.The audi-ble range is considered to be 20 Hz - 20 kHz.

GainAmount of signal amplification, usually expressed in decibels.The relative changein voltage, current, or power to the same reference voltage, current, or power,from input signal to output signal.

LimiterA circuit that restricts the maximum level of a signal.

Manual MuteExternal contacts can control the muting of music or auxiliary inputs.

MIC Inputs (See page 55.)

MOH OutputProvides music or message program to telephone callers placed on hold. Onlythe signal applied to the Aux input (typically background music) is amplified andsent to the MOH outputs (no paging announcements are heard). MOH outputshave their own output level control. (See page 26.)

Night RingerTriggered by an external contact closure or by 90V ring signal from the tele-phone line, the night ringer mutes background music and sends an electronictone through the paging system’s speakers. It functions as an after-hours nightbell, to alert personnel working late of incoming calls, or to signal security guards.(See page 39.)

Power MOSFET CircuitryType of transistor technology that provides superior performance and reliabilityin power amplifiers.

SensitivityThe minimum input required to reach a specific output level.

Signal-to-Noise (S/N)The ratio, usually expressed in dB, between the equipment's noise floor (the minimum noise level produced by the equipment itself) and the desired signal.

Switch-Selectable InputSelect one of two different input types for an input channel. For example, aMic/Tel switch-selectable input can act as either a microphone input or a telephone input depending on the needs of the application.

TEL Inputs (See page 55.)

Tone ControlSubtly enhances audio output by boosting or cutting the high frequencyresponse to make the output sharper (more intelligible) or more natural.

Variable Loudness Contour ControlFollows the psychoacoustic curves of hearing and enhances the low and high frequency response to increase the fullness of music usually lost at low volume.

Variable MuteControls the amount of background music that is heard during a page.The levelcan be adjusted from no suppression of the background music to full suppression(no background music) during page announcements. After the page has finished,the music gradually returns.

VOX SensitivityAllows adjustment of the threshold of audio activity necessary to automaticallymute background music.Adjusts the trip level so that noise on the paging inputwill not falsely mute the background music.VOX-threshold sensitivity can beadjusted so only real signals are picked up.

Horn LoudspeakersDesired mounting height, barring obstructions, is 15 to 20 feet,with the speakers angled downward toward the listening area andfacing in the same direction. Follow the diagram for the layout ofthe horn speakers while using the charts below to define the let-tered dimensions for each specific speaker.

Begin in one corner of the area.The first speaker in Row 1 is posi-tioned a distance equivalent to (1/2C).The next speaker in Row 1should be a distance equivalent to (C) from the first speaker. Eachadditional speaker in the row should use this same spacing. Row 2starts at the indicated ceiling height distance (D) from the wall.Using the diagram as a guide, fill in the remaining rows in this samealternating pattern until the entire area is appropriately covered.

For areas that include high shelving or corridors, speakers shouldbe installed so that they project down the aisles between theshelves or down through the corridors.

The spacing of the speakers can be adjusted so that the speakersare evenly spaced in a row.

Ceiling SpeakersLayout starts in one corner of the area.The first speaker shouldbe positioned from each wall a distance approximately equal tothe ceiling height of the room (dimension A).

The next speaker in row 1 should be spaced a distance approxi-mately equal to twice the height of the ceiling (dimension B). Eachadditional speaker in the row should use this same spacing.

Row 2 starts at twice the ceiling height distance from row 1 (B)and twice the ceiling height (B) from the wall.The other speakersin this row are also spaced at twice the ceiling height.

Row 3 is again spaced at twice the ceiling height (B) from the pre-vious row.The first speaker starting this row is positioned at oneceiling height distance (A) from the wall (similar to row 1).

Continue this pattern of alternating rows until the room is covered.

The spacing of the speakers can be adjusted so that the speakersare evenly spaced in a row and aesthetically pleasing.

• Hallway/RoomWall baffle speakers work well with rooms and hallways that are20' to 60' wide. Layout starts at one end of the hallway or room.The first speaker should be installed 10' from the end of the hall-way or room.The next speaker on that wall should be installed20' from the first speaker, as should any additional speakersrequired to cover the length of the hallway or room.

The first speaker on the opposing wall should be installed 20'from the end of the hallway or room, thereby staggering thespeakers. Each additional speaker should also be installed 20' apartfrom the previous one. (See Figure 1.)

• Open AreaThe number of speakers needed to cover an open area and thelayout of those speakers is contingent upon the availability of suit-able mounting points in the area to be covered.

Layout starts in one corner of the room.The first speaker shouldbe installed 10' from the corner of the room with each additionalspeaker in the first row installed in increments of 20' from thefirst. Based on Figure 2, install the next row of speakers 30' fromthe first row and 20' from the wall with increments of 20'between each speaker. The third row would follow the exampleof the first and each additional row would continue this pattern ofalternating rows until the whole area is covered.

Wall Baffle SpeakersThe layout of the speakers should be planned prior to installation.Because wall baffle speakers are designed to project forward, it isbest to aim them in the same direction, as this provides for bothgreater coverage and clarity.You can use the building’s roof pillarsor other available supports for mounting the wall baffles. In somecases, it may be necessary to mount the wall baffles on opposingwalls. In these cases, the speakers will project sound in opposingdirections.

Maximum Wire Run Cable Length (ft.)

Speaker WiringSpeaker Wiring PatternsBecause a great number of speakers and long distances can beaccommodated by 70V paging systems, the manner in which thespeakers are wired is of interest. Deciding on how to wire thespeakers depends on whether separate zones of speakers areneeded, how many lines back to the amplifier is reasonable, andhow easy it will be to troubleshoot the system in the future.

How you wire a speaker system may require some tradeoffs.Thesimplest way is to parallel all the speakers on one very long run ofwire.This approach leads to some problems. First, the amount ofpower lost in a long run of wire may not allow the requiredamount of power to get to the farthest speakers. Second, if thereshould be a short on the wire run, it would take down the entirerun. In order to locate it, you would need to disconnect eachspeaker until the failed one is found.

Multiple Wire RunsA more practical approach is to wire each row of speakers in anarea together and run a lead wire from this row back to the ampli-fier. The objective is not to have so many speakers daisy-chainedtogether that it makes troubleshooting impossible.Wire runs canbe connected separately to determine where the problem is.

Wire LossOnce you have an idea of how many speakers are to be wiredtogether, estimate how long the wire run will be from the first tothe last speaker in each row. Include the lead-in wire length fromthe amplifier to the first speaker in each row in your overall runlength. For each row, sum up the speaker power and cable lengths.

Then, refer to the Wire Loss Chart to ensure that the wire gauge issufficient to support the power and cable length desired. It may benecessary to increase the wire gauge or split the speaker loads toshorten the wire run lengths if they exceed the chart maximums.

Speaker Phasing

Wire Types

As the voltage on a speaker changes from plus to minus, thespeaker cone moves from pushing out to pulling in. If you reversethe polarity, the speaker responds in the opposite manner.

If a speaker is pushing out and an adjacent speaker is pulling in, someof the pressure caused by the speaker pushing out will be absorbedby the speaker pulling in.These two speakers are out of phase.

In a paging system, all the speakers should be in phase so that theyall push out at the same time. Out of phase speakers operate perfectly well and will not cause any harm to a paging system, butwill tend to diminish the bass response in the area around the outof phase speaker.

The important thing is to wire all the same polarity (+ or -) con-nections together.This will ensure that the speakers in the systemall work in unison.All paging speaker connections have a polarityindicator. It may be a color code, plus (+) and minus (-) symbols,or a red dot.

Speaker WireThe speaker wire best suited for paging systems is 2 conductors in a jacket.The gauge of the conductors varies depending on theinstallation. In many instances, a shielded version of the speakerwire is used.The shield can be useful to help protect the conduc-tors from receiving electrical interference from other electricalequipment in the area.The shield is particularly useful when speakers are to be used as microphones in talk back applications(see page 39 for more information on talk back).

• Two Conductor Shielded CableTwo conductor shielded cable is typically used with balancedmicrophones.Two internal conductors are required for the lowimpedance balanced microphones used in paging systems.Theshield is wrapped around these conductors and provides the sameprotection against electrical interference and noise as single con-ductor cable. Balanced microphone inputs provide a ground con-nection point for the shield.Without the ground connection, theshield would be ineffective. Some microphones with push-to-talkswitches require two more conductors to carry the switch clo-sure back to the amplifier. In this cable, the conductors for theswitch closure are not wrapped in the shield but rather carried inthe cable jacket outside of the shield.The most popular types ofconnectors for microphone cable are screw terminals and XLRconnectors.

Shielded CableShielded cable refers to any conductor, or conductors, wrapped inan electrically conductive shield.The two types of cable mostprevalent for audio installations are:

• Single Conductor Shielded CableSingle conductor shielded cable is used to connect external equip-ment to the unbalanced Aux inputs of amplifiers.The center con-ductor carries the signal source and the shield carries the groundbetween the amplifier and external equipment. In addition to com-pleting the ground return between the electrical equipment, thecable provides a large amount of noise and interference protectionfor the center conductor.The most common connector for thistype of cable is the Phono connector (a.k.a. the RCA connector).

The most common way to make announcements over a paging system is through the telephone system. It is a convenient and readily availablelive input source. However, audio and telephone technologies are different.This sometimes makes it necessary to use an adapter to link the twosystems together.

There are many types of telephone ports possible in telephone switches.The four types presented here – Page Port, Loop Start trunk, GroundStart trunk, and Analog ring up station – are the only ones Bogen recommends as interfaces to telephone systems. Other port types and specif-ically digital station ports are not suitable for connection to amplifiers and interface devices.

• The Loop start, or CO port, is the most popular type of paging interfaceto use when a page port is not available or suitable

• A Ground start trunk uses loop current but employs a request andacknowlegment hand shake for making the initial connection

• An interface device is necessary when connecting a trunk to an amplifier• When paging, an interface adapter detects the off-hook condition of

the trunk and connects the amplifier to the trunk port throughsignal conditioning electronics

• When the trunk is released, the adapter detects the on-hook conditionand immediately disconnects the amplifier from the trunk

• Trunk interface adapters require a power supply to provide talk-batteryand loop current to the trunk port

• A pop at the end of a page is typically present due to the large changein telephone line voltage between on and off hook conditions

• An analog station allows interfacing when neither a paging port nora trunk port is available

• Analog ring-up interfacing requires a more sophisticated interfacethan other methods

• The interface must detect a high voltage ring signal and answer the callto start the page

• To determine when to disconnect the page, typically two system timers areused — one that limits the maximum length of the page to ensure disconnection,the other senses audio activity and disconnects after a preset length of silence

• Many telephone switches now provide calling party control (CPC) signal,which indicates to the interface that the caller has disconnected;Bogen interfaces disconnect immediately upon detecting a CPC signal

• Dedicated audio output available standard on most telephone systems

• Can be connected directly to the input of most amplifers• Traditionally a 600-ohm dry audio signal and a normally open

control contact closure• Control contacts, if available, activate during a page and typically control

the muting of background music• Some page ports provide only an audio pair, which requires that audio

equipment have voice-activated (VOX) functions such as backgroundmusic muting

• Paging ports are not always bi-directional like telephone lines(bi-directionality is necessary when including talk back capability ina paging system)

• Not all paging ports will produce DTMF tones which are necessarywhen using zone paging equipment
