PRO AUDIO LOUDSPEAKERS
Professional Loudspeakers
AMT-15, AMT-12
The AMT-15 and AMT-12 speakers are designed to deliver high-output music and sound reinforcement in a costefficient package.
The AMT-15’s robust 15-inch woofer offers rich, dynamic bass response down to 50 Hz. The 45mm compression driver diaphragm, comprised of a titanium alloy for added strength and rigidity, effortlessly handles the high input levels to match the woofer. A carefully designed crossover network accurately filters each driver for proper matching of phase and summation in the crossover region. The transition is much smoother than other loudspeakers in this class, making the sound more accurate and more realistic.
The AMT-12 combines the same high-output compression driver used in the AMT-15 with a high-sensitivity 12-inch woofer designed to maximize output. Slightly smaller and lighter, the AMT-12 can still fill larger rooms with plenty of power and with very accurate sound.

steel on A8 models) are powder-coated to resist chipping and scratching
What Makes NEAR ® Speakers So Unique?
• MDT ™ Technology – Metal Diaphragm Technology uses metalalloy drivers (not paper and plastic) for extremely stable speaker cones, even after long periods of time. MDT is lightweight, strong, and produces natural sound, significantly better phase response, musical accuracy, and fine detail of sound with ultra-low distortion.
• MLS ™ Design – Magnetic Liquid Suspension uses the speaker’s own magnetic field to precisely center the voice coil in the magnet gap. This eliminates the need for distortion-causing voice coil spiders found in conventional speakers and allows longer speaker excursion. A proprietary Ferrofluid seals the magnet gap and voice coil against moisture and corrosion and heatsinks the voice coil to the magnet structure for greater power handling, assuring long speaker life under difficult environmental conditions. With MLS, the centering actually becomes more accurate as the music becomes louder.
Unparalleled Performance

Special Protection
The SPT15A, SPT30A, BDT30A and
KFLDS30T use a cast aluminum end bell specially designed to make them weatherproof. A rotary selector switch is used to set the specific power tap for the speaker. This switch’s entry into the end bell is sealed by a special mounting nut with an integral O-ring. A removable plastic panel protects both the rotary switch and the electrical connections. This panel provides a narrow opening for the speaker wires to exit, reducing the chance of water infiltration.
Tilt & Swivel Base
Bogen’s 15- and 30-watt horns include a unique and easy-to-use tilt and swivel mounting base that provides nearly 180 degrees of tilt and a full 360 degrees of swivel. A single wing nut locks in the angle of the speaker. Loosening the wing nut frees the speaker in each rotational axis, making it fast and easy to precisely aim the speakers where the sound is needed. The base provides three holes for screw mounting and a slot to allow strapping the speakers to beams. The actual mounting base can easily be removed so that the base can be installed separately.
The speakers can then be attached to the bases at a later time.

Bypass Feature
In certain rooms such as training or conference rooms where meetings or presentations are held, paging announcements are considered interruptions. To avoid or eliminate such interruptions, speakers installed in these rooms may use attenuators to set speaker volume low or off. In these cases, emergency messages would not be heard by individuals in these rooms.
To ensure critical messages are heard, the
ATP-Series Attenuators include a Bypass
Function that sets emergency messages to full volume - to all speakers the attenuator controls - even if the speakers’ volume control knobs are set low or off. A trip voltage of between 9V and 30V DC causes the attenuator to bypass the volume control function and provides full volume audio to the speakers. This is a critical and ideal function in emergency situations when a message must be sent to all individuals in a building.
Extreme Human Environments
It takes a specially-engineered speaker to stand up to the extreme abuse of human beings. The VRS-Series has been installed in some of the most demanding applications, from high-crime area dooranswer systems to some of the most notorious correctional facilities.
What Tough Is
(Exploded View)
The VRS-Series features an 11-gauge stainless steel faceplate (#1). That’s a solid
1/8"of the hardest steel around.
Behind that, there’s a heavy-duty steel barrier (#2) which is designed to let sound out and nothing in. The barrier is baffled so that knives, nails, paper clips, and anything else that might fit into the grille openings will not enter the speaker nor make contact with the speaker’s cone.
Then for further protection, a finely perforated metal grille (#3) covers the entire speaker to intercept any object that might snake its way through the baffles of the steel barrier.
The VRS-Series not only keeps objects out, but fluids also cannot damage the speaker because the speaker’s cone is made of weather-resistant plastic (#4).

Armed with just 3 pieces of information, you can quickly create a bill of material 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, dimensions of the area to be covered, ambient noise level, and ceiling height*. Then, a few simple and direct charts will immediately provide you with the best type of speaker to use, the number of speakers needed, and the amplifier power required for the job.
* Not all dimensions needed for all speaker types. Refer to section 2 for specific dimensions needed for each speaker.
Each speaker in the Easy Design line is designed with a single power tap and a volume control. Any paging system you create using the Easy Design products will be flexible, robust, and powerful.
If noise levels increase in the future, just turn up the volume controls on the speakers – the amplifier will not overload!
You get all the benefits of a 70V central-amplified system – full power capability, high-quality sound and performance,
2-wire installation, long speaker runs, flexibility in amplifier location, no distributed power supplies – and now, super simple system design (we’ve eliminated the multiple power taps). Easy
Design speakers have the high quality and reliability you expect from Bogen.

Type
• Determine the ambient noise level and type of environment in which the speakers will be installed.
• Then select the speaker(s) best suited for the area.
E x a m p l e :
• The ambient noise level in a machine shop in an industrial area is 90 dB. By referring to the chart, you will find that the
HS30EZ 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.

• Obtain the length, width, and ceiling height of the area.
• Look up where the length and width of the area meet on the chart.
• You will find three color-coded numbers. Use the
RED number for 8 ft. ceilings, BLUE for 10 ft. ceilings, and GREEN for 12 ft. ceilings. The color-coded number that corresponds to the area’s ceiling height is the general number of speakers the installation requires.
The minimum amplifier power needed (in watts) is equal to the total number 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 colorcoded numbers: 27 , 18 , and 12 . Since blue numbers are used for ceiling heights of 10 feet, 18 is the recommended quantity of CS1EZ speakers needed for this application. This number (18) is also the minimum amplifier power needed (in watts) for this area.

• Obtain the square footage of the area to be covered and its ambient noise level.
• Where the area’s square footage intersects the area’s ambient noise level, you will find two numbers.
The number in BLUE is the typical number of horn loudspeakers the installation requires. Additional speakers may be needed in areas that have obstructions, 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

A factory has 35,000 square feet of open area and an average ambient noise level of 80 dB. Thus, it will require
HS15EZ Horn Loudspeakers. Using the chart for the
HS15EZ speaker, crisscross the square footage and the ambient noise level. The number of horn loudspeakers needed for an installation is shown in blue and the minimum amplifier power for this number of speakers is shown in red. As you can see, 6 speakers are needed for this application and the minimum amplifier power needed is 90 watts.

Type Applications
For 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 of speaker: 10 watts + 75 watts + 10 watts. The sum is 95 watts.
This is the minimum amplifier power needed (in watts) for the entire application.

Select
An Amplifier
Once you determine the number of speakers and the minimum amplifier power 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 higher than the minimum amplifier power of your application.
(Amplifiers with power 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 the Site Survey Check List on page 72 and the Amplifier
Features Chart on page 78).
• Using the chart on page 78, find an amplifier that offers these features. As long as the wattage of the selected amplifier is equal to or higher than the 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 is often the case with new constructions and relocating com-
panies), you may want 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 minimum amplifier power of 18 watts, so an amplifier with a power rating of 18 watts minimum is needed. Now, look at the chart on page 78 to determine which amplifiers provide the necessary wattage to drive the speakers as well as provide the amplifier features that are most appropriate for the installation. Since the minimum wattage needed is 18, the amplifier with the lowest power usable for this installation is 20 watts (model C20). However, if the
C20 does not have the features required for the application, such as bass and treble controls, you can select any amplifier of greater wattage that offers the specific features. For instance, you might select the TPU35B or C35. Both of these amplifiers have a higher wattage than the application’s minimum amplifier power needed and provide the desired features because they have bass and treble controls. Either of these amplifiers will work well for this application. Plus, there is room to expand the system on a 35W or higher amplifier without the need to purchase an additional amplifier in the future.
The Amplifier Features Chart outlines the features and power ratings of Bogen amplifiers that can be used for a variety of application needs. For complete chart, see page 78.

Controlled Dispersion
Many horns in the market disperse sound frequencies in a wild and uncontrolled manner. This reduces intelligibility and causes inconsistent sound quality over the horn’s coverage angle. Bogen’s
SAH horns benefit from Bogen’s long history as a commercial and pro audio company. Bogen’s SAH horns disperse the various frequencies that make up the sound of a page in a very carefully controlled manner. This means that the listener hears clean, crisp intelligible pages over the full coverage area of the horn.

Determine Speaker Quantity
Use the chart for the speaker you will use (SAH5, SAH15 or SAH30):
1. Choose the level of ambient noise in the area to be covered.
2. Locate the area's square footage.
3. Where these two measurements meet are two numbers. The number in GREEN is the number of speakers required.
The number in RED is the number of Current Units (CU) needed for that many speakers. (You may need to increase the number of speakers in areas where large objects or shelving project into the coverage area, blocking sound.)
Current Units (min.) = Number in RED
Lower Currents = Lower Voltage Drops
Bogen’s SAH self-amplified horn speakers consume significantly less current than equivalently sized conventional analog self-amplified horns. Lower current draw means less voltage drop, and longer cable runs than those allowed by conventional analog self-amplified horns. This allows more flexibility as to where you mount your power supplies and how many individual power supplies need to be installed.
Thermally Rugged
The SAH self-amplified horn speaker’s amplifier, by virtue of its high-efficiency digital switching technology, produces very little wasted heat. Lower amplifier operating temperatures mean these horns can work harder in higher temperature environments than conventional analog self-amplified horns.
Lower operating temperatures also mean less stress on critical internal components and better reliability. Continuous background music is no sweat for these cool-running horns.

LEVEL CONTROLS
Buffer/Expander/Volume Control
BUFEX
Used with 24V systems, the BUFEX is a multi-purpose device that can work as a volume control for a network of speakers, and as a buffer that can drive up to 150 speakers. It also functions as a system expander when connecting to 100V, 70V, and 25V speaker systems.
To address the needs of emergency announcements, the BUFEX has a Bypass feature that allows emergency announcements to be heard at high levels regardless of the volume setting on the BUFEX. The BUFEX contains a Bypass Trim feature that allows some adjustment to the Bypass level.
P r o d u c t F e a t u r e s :
• Local volume control for a group of speakers
• Provides buffering for up to 150 self-amplified speakers
• Allows self-amplified speakers to work with
100V/70V/25V systems, expanding existing systems
• Continuously variable attenuator
• Rugged and attractive stainless steel wall plate with engraved lettering
• Mounts in single gang wall box
• Easy and secure terminal strip connections
• Jumper selectable 100V, 70V, or 25V speaker selections as well as T/R
• Bypass feature overrides local volume setting for high importance messages
• Bypass trim allows a maximum 12 dB attenuation over bypass announcements
See page 30 to select a
Power Supply.
Bypass Feature
Local volume controls allow people working in an area to control the level of paging and background music for their needs. However, in paging systems where alert announcements are made as well as general announcements, local volume controls can be a problem. When users set volume controls for very low levels or off, the alert announcements may not be heard.
When the BUFEX’s Bypass feature is activated (by an external contact closure), it overrides the local level setting of the BUFEX and allows important messages to be heard.
In certain circumstances, full level audio messages may be overpowering.
The BUFEX includes a Bypass Trim that allows a maximum 12 dB of attenuation to the alert message when the local level is set to 0. As the local level is increased, the Bypass Trim will track this and increase the alert message level proportionally.

Switch-Mode Power Supplies
The SPS versions of power supplies use switching technology to provide large current capacities in very small packages. Unlike more conventional linear power supplies that use large and heavy transformers, switching supplies gate energy directly to the storage caps at the power supply output. This is a highly efficient way to convert voltages and because of this the power supplies generate very little heat.
Mounting Holsters
Most wall-mounted SPS versions of power supplies come with special mounting holsters for easy and secure wall mounting. The holsters are fastened to the wall and then the power supply is slipped in. A broad spring tang ensures the power supply remains snug in the holster. A side-mounted
PCB provides a means of breaking out the power supply’s cable connector into multiple screw terminals. The screw terminals are also pluggable for added ease of installation.

SINGLE-ZONE TELEPHONE INTERFACE
Single-Zone Universal Telephone
Interface
UTI1
Bogen’s UTI1 is a single-zone telephone interface that is compatible with all standard analog port types. A background music (BGM) input with variable muting coordinates music and page announcements. An additional audio output provides a “page only” function
(no BGM) for application flexibility. A built-in 24V DC, 1A power supply is provided for powering amplified speakers. Paging volume controls are provided for each of the outputs. An output limiter function, with limiter active indicator, provides consistent page volume regardless of loud or soft paging announcements. Contact-triggered tones and night ring signals, as well as programmable AUX relay contacts, are all programmed using DTMF tones through the dual-purpose override input. Plug-in terminal strips provide for easy installation. An optional security cover/rack mount kit (RPKUTI1) is available.

Programmable AUX Relay
The UTI1 provides a way for installers to decide how the AUX relay contacts will trip based on which inputs on the UTI1 are active. The UTI1 has 4 inputs: override, tone trigger, paging, and night ring. The installer can program the AUX relay to respond to one or any combination of these inputs. The UTI1 prioritizes these inputs (in the order shown above) so that higher priority inputs preempt lower ones, but the AUX relay contacts can be programmed to work independently of this hierarchy.
For example, the AUX relay could be programmed to respond only to a night ring trigger independent of anything else the UTI1 was doing. The UTI1 would suppress the night ring tone if a general page were made; however with the AUX relay programmed this way, the AUX relay contacts would remain active until the night ring input stopped regardless of the other UTI1 inputs.
The AUX relay contacts can also be programmed to operate after the triggering event has finished.
In this case, the AUX relay contact activates for 1 second and then stops. This type of operation allows external equipment to be triggered after an event has occurred.
All this selectable functionality allows the installer improved ways to control external equipment in conjunction with the
UTI1 operation. Programming is accomplished through simple
DTMF programming codes.

Multiple Interface Options
The problem with selecting a telephone line interface device is knowing exactly what type of line will be available at the site. Because of mistakes in planning, a return trip to the supply house is not that uncommon. The TAMB2 was designed to eliminate this problem.
The TAMB2 has the ability to interface to ground start, loop start, and analog ring-up lines.
MULTI-ZONE TELEPHONE INTERFACE
Multi-Zone Universal Telephone
Interface
UTI312
Bogen’s UTI312 is a multi-zone paging controller with universal telephone interface.
It is expandable from 3 to 12 zones in 3-zone increments using ZX3 expansion modules.
Each zone has its own buffered paging output (150 speaker drive capacity) with volume control, a C-form relay contact and “zone active” indicator. Each module includes a pluggable
24V DC power distribution terminal strip and pluggable terminal strips for each zone for easy wiring. A built-in 24V DC, 1A power supply is provided for powering amplified speakers.
The UTI312’s universal telephone interface is identical to the UTI1 (page 31). Two background music (BGM) inputs, with volume controls, provide each zone with a choice of BGM sources or no BGM. Two tone triggers are available as well as a 90V night ringer input.
Separate volume controls for the night ring and tone triggers, along with an adjustable page level limiter, make it easy to set appropriate levels.
Powerful software features provide the UTI312 enormous flexibility for demanding applications. 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-digit dialing plans allow the UTI312 to fit into any dialing structure.
Twenty-four zone groups, zone groups for each tone input and night ring as well as a zone group for the override input, provide plenty of installer flexibility. A programmable AUX relay contact, in addition to the zone relay contact, provides flexibility for controlling external equipment based on the UTI312’s activity.

Override Zone Group
The override input on the UTI312 has the highest priority of all the inputs but does not have to provide an All-
Call function. Since the override has a zone group associated with it, the installer can determine which zones receive pages during an override.
For example, assume that in a 12-zone system 11 zones are used to provide audio to different parts of a building, but one zone is not used for audio purposes.
The contact closure for this zone is used to control a door latch. When this zone is active, the latch is open. If the override was predefined to activate all zones, then the door latch would open during override operation which may not be desirable. By programming the override zone group with all zones except the one connected to the door latch, an override can be made and the door will remain locked.
Two Background Music Inputs
In a system with multiple zones, it is not uncommon to find applications that have different background music (BGM) requirements in different zones. To provide flexibility in these situations, the
UTI312 has 2 BGM inputs. Each zone, through jumper assignments on the ZX3 module, can select one or the other BGM source, or none at all.
Auto Select Paging
When using the auto select paging feature, there is no need to dial a zone or zone group. Whenever the paging input becomes active, the auto select paging zone group, with user-assigned zones, will determine what zones are active.
This may seem to be an unusual function for a multi-zone paging application.
However, often the need for zoning is determined not by voice paging needs, but by the need to play tones in different zones.
In these instances, a shift change tone may need to be produced in the factory areas but not in the office areas. So a tone trigger zone group will be set up to channel the tone just into the factory. In this case, voice paging is done like an
All-Call, but the tones are zoned.

Zone Groups
One of the unique features of the ZPM3 is its ability to group together a number of zones and page in to them at the same time. Many times the functional layout of a facility dictates how the paging zones are arranged. However, the people you are trying to contact may spend their time in more than one zone area. By grouping zones, you increase your chance of contacting that person.
An example of a typical 3-zone facility is a medium size location with an office area, manufacturing area, and warehouse. Each area is set up as an individual zone. A number of employees may spend their time in both the manufacturing and warehouse areas. By grouping these two zones and paging simultaneously into both, the chances of the page being heard by the specific individual are greatly improved.
For this same facility, the ZPM3 can also produce a tone that will be heard only in a specific group of areas. This is ideal for signaling within the factory for breaks, lunch, and shift changes – but will not be heard in the office area. An external contact closure from a master clock is typically used to trigger the tones.

Signal-Processing Modules
When signal-processing output modules are installed into the Power Vector's last two module bays, they automatically insert themselves into the mix bus signal path leading to the power amplifier stage. When two of these output modules are installed, their effects are cascaded with the second to last bay's module processing the signal first and then passing it to the module in the last bay.
Two benefits are gained by this innovation: (1) the effects insert jacks are still available for use by external processing equipment, (2) the signal-processing output modules act on the raw mix bus signal before any other user controls, like master volume, bass, and treble.
This then ensures that signal level dependent processors, such as the CMP1R Compressor/
Limiter and the ANS1R Ambient Noise
Sensor modules, perform as intended regardless of front panel master control changes.
Remote Volume Control
The master volume control is motorized.
By using a motor to physically move the control knob, a new level of remote control adjustability is achieved.
Regardless of where the master volume control is set on the amplifier, the remote can move it up or down. Since the remote control signal is now the drive signal to the motor, noise on the remote control leads cannot mix in with the amplifier signals. This gives the
Power Vector a fully functional and clean way of remotely controlling overall system level.
Traditionally, remote volume control was accomplished by having the remote control vary an analog control signal to an optoresistor in the amplifier. This opto-resistor would further attenuate the signal level in the amplifier, based on the remote control setting.
This approach has two drawbacks: (1) the maximum volume that can be achieved by changing the remote control was limited by the master volume control setting on the amplifier, or vice-versa depending on how the amplifier was designed, the remote could lower volume, but could not further increase it; (2) the control signal, because it is analog, is vulnerable to noise. If a 60 Hz hum was picked up by the long remote volume leads, it could cause the optoresistor to modulate the volume level at the hum frequency.

Dual Band EQ
The unique dual-function equalizer can be used for acoustic shaping or for feedback control.
• Acoustic Shaping - Full range equalization is provided for correcting general frequency response issues that exist in the application venue. The full audio spectrum is covered on 1-octave centers with a boost/cut of 12 dB. In this mode, the equalizer can be used to compensate for room acoustics, or to satisfy the listening preference of the user.
• Feedback Control - In this mode, the equalizer’s control range is reduced to cover only the lower half of the audio spectrum
(where feedback howls occur), but the individual filters are now on closer 2/3-octave spacing. This allows narrower bands of frequencies to be controlled, which is particularly useful to reduce feedback of live sources that can increase the effective loudness the system can achieve.
Variable Music Mute
This feature allows control over the level of background music (fed though the AUX inputs) heard during a telephone page announcement. The convention used to be to completely mute background music during pages. The Gold Seal Series amplifiers provide full muting as well as no muting and intermediate attenuation levels of –10 dB and
–21 dB. After the telephone page has ended, the background music smoothly fades back to its original level for a very professional sound.
Telephone Paging Control
Input 5 serves a dual function as either a balanced MIC input or a 600-ohm balanced telephone input. The TEL input includes both voice-activated triggering for muting the AUX inputs and automatic level control for providing constant paging level. ALC compensates for different voice levels and speaking styles of the individuals using the system. Controls are provided on the rear of the amplifier to adjust trigger threshold of the voice-activated muting so that it will not falsely trigger from noise on the input. An
ALC adjustment is also provided to allow control over the amount of compression applied to loud signals to keep them at a nominal signal level.
Audio Enhancement
Crisp, clean, intelligible sound is the goal of every paging system. The audio enhancement circuit adds back the high frequency harmonics that are lost through the handsets and speakers. With one simple control, you can adjust the amount of high frequency content the audio enhancement circuit adds back until optimum intelligibility is reached.

Specialized Telephone Input
The TPU-Series’ 600-ohm transformer balanced input is perfectly suited to connect to paging ports and paging adapters such as
Bogen’s TAMB2. Here are a few specially designed features:
• The background music will mute whenever paging activity is present on the telephone input, even if control contacts are not available. (Separate mute control contacts are also available.)
• To avoid problems with noise on the lines falsely muting the background music, a built-in VOX threshold control (not on
TPU15A) lets you decide what’s a real signal and what’s noise.
• Because not everyone speaks at the same level, the Automatic Level Control feature keeps loud voices from booming out of the paging system’s speakers.
Audio Enhancement
Crisp, clean, intelligible sound is the goal of every paging system. The audio enhancement circuit adds back the high frequency harmonics that are lost through the handsets and speakers. With one simple control, you can adjust the amount of high frequency content the audio enhancement circuit adds back until optimum intelligibility is reached.
Variable Music Mute
Add some polish to announcements by using the TPU’s built-in variable mute feature. Variable mute allows you to control the level of the music heard in the background during a page. It’s fully adjustable from no muting of music to full suppression of music. The TPU also gracefully fades the muted music back in after the page is finished for a smooth, professional sound (not available on TPU15A).
Bridging
Bridging two TPU amplifiers permits them to be used in tandem with one another to increase the total output power of the system, thereby permitting additional speakers to be added. For example, when two
250-watt amplifiers are bridged, the total output capacity of the system is 500 watts.
Also, both amplifiers will receive the same input signal, amplify it, and deliver it to the speaker loads connected to each amplifier (not available on TPU15A).

• 70V Mono
In this mode, the amp supplies a single channel of amplification. This mode also mixes the signals from each input module into a mono program. By assigning each module to a different bus, a 2:1 mixer is formed with the front-mounted level controls adjusting the mix. In addition, one module can be set to mute the other when it is active, thereby providing an effective paging system.
70V Speaker Output -
For 70V constant voltage speaker systems. Provides a single channel of amplification.
Low Cut Filter Switch - Select a low-frequency roll-off of 65 Hz or 125 Hz for transformer-coupled and horn speakers.
Flat position allows full low-frequency performance.
Module Bay - The unit can accept one or two Bogen input modules. Each amplifier comes with a balanced, high-impedance stereo input module.
Cooling Fans - Two independent, variable-speed cooling fans respond only as needed to keep the amplifiers cool and reduce dust build-up.
Rear Panel
• Dual Mono
This mode is similar to the 70V Mono mode except that in this mode the amp supplies two channels of low-impedance amplification. This mode still mixes the input signal from the different modules but a Channel Balance control is provided to adjust the output levels of one channel against the other.
Low-Impedance Outputs -
For 4- to 8-ohm speaker loads. Unit is stable into loads as low as 2 ohms.
Channel Balance Control
(in Dual Mono operation mode) -
Allows the output level of one channel to be lower than the other channel’s output level.
Effects Loop - Provides insert point for outboard signal-processing equipment when the amplifier is in either 70V Mono or Dual
Mono modes (modular inputs are in a 2:1 mixer configuration).
Operational Mode Selector -
Choose one of three settings to meet application needs: 70V Mono, Dual
Mono (4-ohm), or Stereo (4-ohm). See the sidebar on this page for description of operating modes.
Output Feeds - In mono modes, the connectors provide output signal feeds both before and after any outboard signal-processing. In stereo mode, the Pre-EQ connector provides mono mix output of the stereo input signal.

Heavy-Duty Operation
The HTA line of amplifiers are designed to be workhorses. Large heat sinks and huge transformers allow these amplifiers to supply continuous, full (RMS) power to loads, even at high ambient temperatures. The
HTA amplifiers are convection-cooled, so they provide the ultimate in set-andforget operation.
More amazing than the heavy-duty capability of the HTA amplifiers is the quality of the output. The frequency response will remain within +/- 1 dB and have less than
0.5% distortion over the entire audio range
(20 Hz – 20 kHz). What is so special about this? The output is transformer-coupled.
Few transformer-isolated amplifiers can even come close to these specifications.
An enormous output transformer using proprietary coil winding techniques is what allows the HTA to reach this level of performance.
A Power MOSFET output stage completes the extremely reliable and durable performance of these amplifiers. This type of transistor does not suffer from many of the failure modes of the more typical transistors (bi-polar types). The result is an amplifier that can operate reliably at full power and supply transformer-isolated, high-quality, full bandwidth (20 Hz –
20 kHz) audio.

PRO-MATRIX AMPLIFIER
Digitally Matrixed
Amplifier
PM3180
Removable front panel for optional wall mounting
The Pro-Matrix was developed expressly for the needs of restaurants, lounges, fitness centers, and other venues that require numerous input sources but have areas with distinctly different audio requirements. The Pro-Matrix amplifier provides 3 fully independent audio channels that can use any of the 6 different inputs in vastly different ways. The Pro-Matrix is designed to be as easy for users to operate as a home stereo, yet it provides the installer with a wide array of customizable features that are all password-protected from tampering.
What Does The Pro-Matrix Do?
The Pro-Matrix Amplifier is ideally suited for restaurants and similar venues.
It provides 4 AUX and 2 MIC inputs that can be distributed into 3 different zones.
The Pro-Matrix automatically switches the different audio sources based on a preset, user-programmed priority hierarchy. This allows the correct audio to reach the correct areas without any user intervention, making operation ultra simple.
For example, suppose a restaurant has a dining area, lounge, and waiting area that are in need of the following audio sources:
• The Dining Area - Uninterrupted background music only, no other sources.
• The Bar - Hostess paging mic and either background music, jukebox, or TV audio.
• The Waiting Area - Hostess paging mic and background music only.
G e n e r a l F e a t u r e s :
• 3 Independent audio channels
• 100-, 60-, and 20-watt amplifier channels
• 8-ohm, 70V, and 25V transformer-coupled outputs
• 4-ohm direct output
• Audio inserts for connection to external signal-processing equipment
• Auto-switching of inputs based on custom assigned priorities and input audio activity
• 4 High-impedance, unbalanced auxiliary inputs
• 2 Microphone inputs; one input can be programmed to accept a telephone line for paging
• Auxiliary trim controls accommodate a wide range of auxiliary input signal levels
• Wireless infrared remote control unit
• Detachable front panel can be mounted up to 25 feet away from main unit using included accessory cable or up to 250 ft. with optional mounting kit (RMPWMK3)
• Output level metering for each audio channel
• Automatic fade-in of audio sources
• Automatic level control for microphones
(selectable)
• Microphone page triggering by voice or switch (N.O. or N.C.)
• Phantom power for microphones
(13V DC), selectable
• Rack-mountable with kit (RPK79)
• UL listed
I n s t a l l e r P r o g r a m m a b l e
F e a t u r e s :
• Easy to understand and operate
• Large 10-character alphanumeric display with prompted programming for quick setup
• Password-protected system settings for consistent, foolproof operation
• 6 user-assigned priority levels for inputs
• Each input can be assigned different priority levels for each of the 3 output channels
• Volume and tone control lockout, independently on each audio channel
• Configure microphone input (ALC, phantom power, VOX or contact triggered)
• Preset power-up levels of each input for volume, treble, and bass
• Programmable variable music mute levels during MIC or TEL page
• Preset bass and treble response of each input for each audio channel
• Limit maximum volume level a user can achieve, programmable for each audio channel
• Large display shows currently active input source
• Create custom names for input source display
U s e r F e a t u r e s :
• Manual or automatic selection of input source
• Volume, bass, and treble controls for each audio channel
The Pro-Matrix adapts quickly to this situation. Connect each area to a different audio channel. Then connect the background music source, jukebox, and TV audio to the AUX inputs, and connect the hostess paging mic. The rest of the installation is completed using the detachable
10-character control panel. Using simple prompted programming, give each input the priority it should have relative to the other sources for each area. Undesired sources can be removed from the priority list in a particular area so they cannot cut in.
This flexible priority assignment allows all the sources needed in the lounge to be handled correctly and automatically, while the same source in the dining and waiting areas are automatically handled differently according to their needs.
In addition to flexible priority assignment of inputs, the Pro-Matrix has 10 different menus that allow control of a host of system operations from applying phantom power to mics to setting the muting level of music during mic pages and much more.

Flexible Output Levels
The VMIX was designed to make connections to other sound system components as easy as possible. Its transformerbalanced output provides ground loop isolation and high noise immunity when connected to other balanced inputs of downstream components. This output can provide 3 distinct output voltage ranges to accommodate just about any input type from a microphone input at -50 dBµ to a professional audio input requiring +4 dBµ, as well as a more common commercial level of -10 dBµ. Setting the proper output range is as easy as moving a slide switch. The VMIX provides a separate unbalanced RCA output, which makes simple equipment interconnects a snap.
Signal-Processing Modules
When signal-processing output modules are installed into the Power Vector's last two module bays, they automatically insert themselves into the mix bus signal path leading to the output stage. When two of these output modules are installed, their effects are cascaded with the second to last bay's module processing the signal first and then passing it to the module in the last bay. Two benefits are gained by this innovation: (1) the effects insert jacks are still available for use by external processing equipment, (2) the signal-processing output modules act on the signal on the raw mix bus signal before any other user controls, like master volume, bass, and treble can affect it. This then ensures that signal level dependent processors, such as the
CMP1R Compressor/Limiter and the
ANS1R Ambient Noise Sensor modules, perform as intended regardless of front panel control changes.

Music Bypass Input
Ambient noise controllers are a great benefit in applications where ambient noise conditions change significantly. Typically, these controllers raise and lower all the inputs to a sound system.
However, there are instances where it may be desirable to keep a certain input from changing in response to ambient noise. A good example of this is a restaurant or lounge situation where background music is supplied at low levels to make the area seem less empty during quiet periods. Normally the background music is simply overpowered by the ambient noise of the crowd as it builds and this is desirable since the background music is of no real importance. It would be undesirable in this situation to have the background music increase in level as the ambient noise increases since the background music would only add to the ambient noise level and annoy the patrons. The ANS501 provides a special AUX input just for this type of application. This input is mixed into the output of the
ANS501 after any level changes have been made and will not change with the ambient noise level. All other signals sent to the ANS501's normal input, like paging announcements, will have their level changed in response to changes in ambient noise, but the AUX Input level will remain fixed.

Simple Connections
Wiring consists of connecting the night answer port of the telephone system to the ringer inputs. The ring signal can be the actual 90V ring signal or it can be from a contact closure. The output of the NR100 connects to any paging system. If there is background music in the system, that too is fed to the NR100. When the night line rings, the NR100 will suppress the background music and begin to feed the electronic ring tone over the paging system.
Background music will not be reapplied until the line stops ringing to ensure that no background music will be heard in between bursts of ring signal.

Applications
The TBA15 is an ideal complement to the
ZPM3 (see page 36) for hands-free talk back in specific areas. Here are a few examples:
Stock Rooms: A large stock area can be paged with a question on availability and the stock clerk can simply shout back the answer, no matter where he/she is or what he/she is doing.
Commercial Kitchens: Allows hands-free communications between cooks and wait staff. This keeps the cook’s hands off the telephone and on the meal, which is more sanitary and more efficient.
Security: This is a perfect way to get audio surveillance of remote areas. Simply dial up the zone for an area and listen for activity...
even the tiniest sounds can be heard.
By adding speakers, a large area can be monitored for activity. You can announce into these same areas, too.

Break the Feedback Loop
Acoustic feedback is the phenomenon that causes the annoying, high-pitched squeal that sometimes occurs in paging systems.
Making a page in especially loud paging areas can be almost impossible because of acoustic feedback. Numerous ways of treating this problem, from re-aiming speakers to using special telephone mouthpieces, have been used with varying levels of success.
The DFT120 solves the problem of annoying feedback squeals once and for all by breaking the feedback loop that exists between the speakers and the telephone receiver. Every page is first digitally recorded and stored in memory. When the paging telephone is hung up, the DFT120 plays the recording back over the paging system, with no possibility of feedback.
Page Stacking
It is important to be able to record one page announcement after another without delay because paging announcements happen randomly. The DFT120 is designed for high traffic paging because of its ability to “stack”page announcements. New announcements can be recorded while an existing one is being played. In fact, the DFT120 can store up to 8 announcements at one time. Two separate banks of memory “ping-pong” between recording and playback to provide unimpeded access to the paging system.

TONE GENERATOR
TG4C
The TG4C is designed to produce four different types of tones for use as alarm or announcement signals in paging systems. An audio signal can be routed through the TG4C to allow easy installation in paging systems. During generation of the tones, the routed audio will be suppressed.
P r o d u c t F e a t u r e s :
• 4 types of tones: steady, pulsed alarm, slow whoop, and chime
• Tones triggered by external contact closure
(momentary or long duration)
• Choice of continuous generation of tones or two-burst operation (except for steady tone)
• External audio signal can pass through the TG4C and is suppressed during tone generation
• Adjustable tone level & pitch
• 600-ohm output
• Tone generation reset available

Easy To Use
The TG4C is designed to provide a wide range of alarm/warning tones for noncritical applications. An external contact closure triggers the generator. A momentary contact will produce two plays of the selected tone, while a continuous closure will regenerate the tone until it is removed.
Input Sharing and Priority
A unique feature of the TG4C is the unit’s ability to pass through a signal and then suppress it during tone generation. This allows the TG4C to be installed in any paging system without losing an input. This feature also gives the tones priority over the signal it suppresses, a valuable feature in most alarm/warning situations.

Connecting Amps to Other Equipment
When connecting amplifiers to other equipment, these transformers are a “must have” because they can solve a variety of problems.
• Where signal levels are insufficient to drive an amplifier's AUX input to full volume, installing either model on the input will increase the voltage to the input by about 5 times, providing plenty of level.
• Where input ground loops are causing a hum problem, the isolation transformer on either transformer can break the loop and eliminate the hum.
• When unbalanced signals need to be sent over long distances, either model can balance them at both the send and receive sides and reduce the possibility of noise pickup.
• Both models allow a microphone input to be used with an AUX-level signal input.
By moving a jumper, the attenuation is changed on the high-impedance side to be
100 times less than the signal level on the
600-ohm side.
• The WMT1AS model can also convert 25V and 70V speaker levels down to the levels appropriate for AUX inputs on amplifiers.
MATCHING TRANSFORMERS
WMT1A,
WMT1AS
WMT1AS adapts speaker-level signals to AUX level.
Models WMT1A and WMT1AS are general-purpose matching transformers that allow proper connections between high (10k-ohm) and low (600-ohm) inputs and outputs. Both models can be used to balance an unbalanced line or provide isolation between two pieces of equipment. Both models can be configured to produce a balanced, microphone level signal from a line-level signal such as that from a pre-amp or music source. In addition, Model WMT1AS can adapt speaker level signals (25V/70V systems) to a level suitable for the AUX input of an amplifier.
P r o d u c t F e a t u r e s :
• Hi-Z, 10k-ohm primary impedance
• Lo-Z, 600-ohm secondary impedance, balanced with center tap
• Matches high-to-low impedance or low-to-high impedance
• Adapts line-level signals to microphone inputs
• RCA connector for Hi-Z side
• Screw terminals for Lo-Z side
• Small steel enclosure w/ mounting ears allows easy mounting anyplace

Paging Input Details
The DRZ35 has a full-featured microphone paging input. The microphone input is a low-impedance balanced input that works with dynamic or condenser microphones. Whenever a page is made, the AUX or Tuner feed is muted via a
VOX detector. When the page is completed, the other source smoothly fades back in.
By using a WMT1A matching transformer, the MIC input can be connected to the paging port of a telephone system.
Speaker Zones
Built into the DRZ35 is a convenient
4-zone selector switch group. These push-on/push-off switches allow you to control how paging is distributed throughout a facility. Simply turn on and off groups of speakers as needs change.

Targeted Communication
The PI35A and SI35A allow background music to play, without interruption, in selected areas while one or more rooms communicate directly with the main unit.
This feature is useful in a number of applications, including:
Schools: A live news broadcast can be played over the system into all rooms. If an administrator needs a student, the call for the student can be placed directly into the classroom the student is in, without interrupting the live news broadcast to all the other classrooms.
Medical Center: If a nurse at the main desk needs to communicate immediately with one of the physicians, the nurse can call directly into the exam room where the physician is without interrupting the background music being played in all patient areas. This keeps the physician’s demand and schedule private, so patients do not become concerned about the length of their wait before they get to see the physician.
Connects To Existing Phone Systems
With the WMT1A Line-Matching Transformer, a connection can be made to the page port from the phone system. This allows an All-Call/Emergency notice to be made using the in-house phone system.

PAGING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
The aim of a paging system is to deliver important audio announcements, at the proper level and with sufficient clarity, to people working in a facility and to make those announcements easily understood. The two most common ways to accomplish this are to use either 70V centralized amplifiers with passive speakers or self-amplified speakers operating from a 24V DC power supply.
Pages 64-67 explain 70V systems and pages 68-69 explain self-amplified systems. Speaker layout, wiring methods, and phasing are the same for either technology and are covered on pages 70-76.
Central-Amplified Systems - pages 64-67
Self-Amplified Systems - pages 68-69
WHAT IS A 70V SYSTEM?
70V Paging Systems consist of:
• A Centralized Amplifier which offers a variety of features to enhance voice and music reproduction as well as easy system expansion.
• Speakers that connect with a simple 2-wire installation because the audio power is supplied from the centralized amplifier.
• An Interface Device that connects the paging system to the telephone system. (Depending on the telephone system and amplifier, an interface device may not be needed.)
WHY USE 70V OUTPUTS?
Low Currents Allow Long Runs
Why do distributed sound systems use centralized amplifiers with 70V output signals? Because 70V systems can handle extremely long 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 to minimize the amount of current flowing in the wire. High currents allow too much power, or electrical energy, to be wasted in wires in the form of heat.
64
The power (P) lost in the wire is related to the square of the current (I), so reducing the current in the wires a little reduces the power lost in them considerably. In fact, reducing the current flowing in a wire by a factor of 2 will reduce the power loss by a factor of 4.
P = I
Power Lost
2
Current Flowing

(Watts)

(Amps)

(Ohms)
However, the power the load demands and the output level of the amplifier determines the amount of current that must flow in the speaker wires (Ohm’s law in action).
I = P / V
Current Flowing Power Needed Amplifier
In Wire By Load Output Voltage
(Amps) (Watts) (Volts)
So to lower the amount of power lost in the wires, the voltage that the amplifier uses to drive the load is increased. By doing this, the current in the wires can be reduced while still supplying the same power to the load
(for the same power P, any increase in V will lower I).
Of course you cannot just change the voltage driving a load from one level to another without also making the load compatible with the new voltage level. To ensure compatibility, 70V systems use transformers on the speakers that change the high 70V amplifier output levels to lower levels that are compatible with typical 8-ohm speakers.
Easy To Control Speaker Power Draw
The output of a central paging amplifier is designed to limit the maximum output voltage that can be supplied to the speakers. This maximum output voltage remains the same regardless of the amplifier’s power capacity. Because the output voltage is limited, speaker manufacturers can design products that consume a specific amount of power from the amplifier. This is beneficial in two ways.
First, the speakers will not consume more power than they are designed for; so, they cannot blow out from using an amplifier that’s too powerful. Second, since each speaker’s power consumption is known, the correct amplifier power for the paging system is simply the total power consumed by all the speakers.
WHAT MAKES A 70V SPEAKER?
Step-Down Transformer
70V paging speakers have a step-down transformer, which is used to convert the high-voltage/low-current amplifier signal of the central paging amplifier to the lowvoltage/high-current signal that speakers use.
Taps
The primary side of the step-down transformer (the
side that connects to the amplifier) has a number of connections (called taps or power taps) that can be used to select the peak power the speaker will consume from the amplifier.
Why Taps?
The selection of the power tap has an effect on both the amplifier power needed for the system and the volume of the speaker. The more power a speaker consumes, the louder the sound from the speaker.
By tapping speakers for lower power in quiet areas and for higher power in noisier areas, the sound level of the paging system can be controlled and balanced.
It is important that speakers be tapped correctly for the area that they will be used in. Setting all the speakers for the same power regardless of the amount of noise in different areas will cause balance problems. If the amplifier is adjusted to produce adequate paging levels in the noisy areas, the paging levels in the quiet areas will be too loud or vice versa. Selecting the proper tap setting is not difficult, but it does require knowing the level of ambient noise in different areas. (See Sound Pressure Levels
Chart on page 77.) It is always better to use the next higher wattage tap if there is any doubt about the speaker being sufficiently loud for the area.
Of course, the best way to determine how effectively a system covers an area is to test it. Never install a paging system and leave the site without testing it. Sound adjustments or additional speakers may be needed. Some paging equipment, such as Bogen’s PCM2000, UTI1, and UTI312 paging interfaces include a test tone that is sent to all speakers in the system so installers can check the system installation. For other systems, the installer can have pages made while the installer walks the area to listen for appropriate sound levels and uniform coverage of the system to find out if and where adjustments need to be made, and to make sure that all speakers are properly connected.
Easy Design
™
Without Taps
To make designing paging systems as easy as possible,
Bogen offers a line of Easy Design ™ speakers. These speakers do not require tapping and allow for on-the-fly adjustment of speaker paging levels. All the information that is needed to design a complete system are the dimensions of the different paging areas and the type of environment. With this basic information, you can use the
Easy Design speaker line to quickly design a robust, professional, and powerful paging system. (See pages
15-21 for more information.)
AMPLIFIER OUTPUT TYPES
70V Output
A 70V output is available on Bogen amplifiers and is the primary type of output for paging systems. A step-up output transformer in the amplifier provides the high
70V output signal. All speakers with step-down transformers (rated for 70V systems) are connected to this output.
Other Output Types
(25V, 16- and 8-ohm)
There are a number of other standard speaker impedances that Bogen amplifiers can be connected to.
These outputs provide the correct speaker signal level for different configurations of low-impedance speakers.
The lower voltage, 25V, output is provided on many
Bogen amplifiers for use in paging installations that require a speaker voltage of less than 70V to meet building code requirements.
Direct Output
Direct outputs are used with low-impedance speakers.
These outputs have an exceptional low frequency (bass) response, providing the fuller sound that low-impedance speakers can reproduce. Certain Bogen amplifiers, designed for general purpose sound reinforcement applications, include this feature which allows the step-up output transformer to be bypassed for direct connection to the power amplifier’s output.
65
AMPLIFIER INPUT TYPES
Auxiliary Input (AUX)
The Auxiliary input is the most common type of input used in paging. This input is designed to connect to most music sources, such as a CD player or tuner. Usually the connector for such an input is a Phono jack (also called an RCA jack). It connects to other equipment using standard audio cables.
Phono (RCA) Input Jacks
The AUX input has an outer connection that is directly connected to the equipment’s ground and a center connection that is the “hot” input. AUX inputs, sometimes referred to as Hi-Z or high-impedance inputs, have a high input impedance so that they won’t put too much of a load on the source equipment’s output. This type of input is
“unbalanced”. You must use shielded cable with this type of input in order to avoid getting noise induced into the system.
Normally, connections between source equipment and the amplifier’s AUX input should not be too long, about 6 feet.
The problem with long connections is that the cable acts like an antenna, picking up any electrical noise in the area.
The longer the cable, the more noise that is picked up.
Telephone Input (TEL)
The TEL Input is so named because it was designed to be compatible with 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
Microphone Input (MIC)
The traditional paging amplifier input is the Microphone input. MIC inputs were the primary announcement source until connection to the telephone system became possible.
MIC inputs are still used in public address applications today.
When connected properly, a microphone can be hundreds of feet away from the amplifier and still provide clear, quiet audio.
MIC inputs are the most sensitive of all the amplifier inputs and tend to pick up the stray electrical noise in an area. To combat the noise 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 low impedance effectively keeps down noise, which makes its signal level smaller.
Balanced Microphone “XLR” Type Connector
Balanced Microphone Screw Terminals
Microphone cable is always shielded. The input requires three connections – two for the balanced signal and one for the shield ground. You can reverse the balanced signal leads and the system will still work properly. However, if you mis-wire the ground connections, the amplifier can become unstable and start to oscillate. When this occurs, the amplifier may heat up enough to cause its protection circuits to shut it down or it may produce very distorted sound.
Telephone Input Screw Terminals
66
Bogen’s TEL inputs do not have to be shielded, but it is always a good idea to provide more noise immunity (normally a ground terminal is available on the input for the shield connection). Higher noise immunity allows the amplifier to be located much farther away from the source equipment than what an unbalanced input will allow.
The input transformer is not designed to pass loop current from a telephone line. Any time you want to connect to a telephone station or trunk port, you will need to use a telephone interface module like the TAMB2, which converts the telephone signal into a “dry” audio signal compatible with the amplifier’s TEL input.

WHAT IS A SELF-AMPLIFIED SYSTEM?
Self-Amplified Paging Systems consist of:
• Self-Amplified Speakers each contain an individual, built-in, miniature amplifier that drives the speaker directly. Each speaker requires 4 wires. Two wires supply the raw 24V DC voltage to power the speaker’s internal amplifier and another
2 wires supply the low-level audio paging signal to the amplifier’s input. All amplified speakers contain volume controls to adjust output level.
AUDIO
• A Power Supply or multiple power supplies provide the raw
24V DC voltage that will power the amplifier built in to each self-amplified speaker. Several power supplies can be located in convenient areas in the facility.
• An Interface Device that connects the paging system to background music sources and the telephone system and supplies a telephone level audio paging signal to all the speakers in the system. (Depending on the telephone system and number of speakers in the system, an interface device may not be needed.)
DC POWER
WHY USE SELF-AMPLIFIED TECHNOLOGY?
Low Signal Levels Prevent Crosstalk
In certain installations it may be desirable to use conductors in an existing telecommunication cable to deliver paging to different floors or areas in a facility. 70V amplifier signals would not be appropriate to run in the same cable with analog telephone signals since their high level could cause crosstalk in the other telephone circuits in the cable. Because the audio signal levels supplied to the inputs of the amplified speakers are similar in level to analog telephone levels, there will be no crosstalk of the paging system in the telephone lines.
The raw 24V DC power needed by the self-amplified speaker can also be carried in the telecom cable since it contains no interfering signals, but care must be exercised to make sure the length of cable will not cause too much voltage to be lost in the cable. (See Page 75 for more information.)
68
Convenient System Expansion
A self-amplified system can be expanded by adding extra speakers and power supplies as required. They are extremely scalable due to the fact that each speaker is an amplifier unto itself. It is also easy to connect additional power supplies where needed to power the speakers. In some instances there may not be sufficient audio signal level available for the speaker’s input. In these instances, a small buffer can be installed inline to boost the signal level.
Self-amplified speakers can also be used to expand 70V paging systems in cases where the added speakers would overload an existing central 70V amplifier. The same buffer that is used to boost signal level can be used to reduce the large 70V speaker signal to a level that is compatible with the input of self-amplified speakers. A suitable power supply can be located near the expansion speakers to power their internal amplifiers. This approach can be used instead of replacing the central 70V amplifier with a larger one to handle the extra speakers.
Cost Effective for Small Installations
Self-amplified speakers can be very cost effective in small systems since they provide scalability in small increments.
The centralized amplifiers in 70V systems are typically available in set output power level steps that start at 6 or 10 watts and increment by 10 watts or more from model to next higher powered model. In small applications that require only a few watts of paging, the extra power capability of the 70V amplifiers may not be an advantage due to the higher cost associated with the amplifier’s extra power, especially if it will not be used in the future.
Self-amplified systems can be designed with much smaller output level power steps so that only the necessary audio power is installed in the facility. This can result in a lower cost of equipment especially where the desired power level is considerably less than the smallest applicable 70V amplifier output level.
Understanding Current Units
Self-Amplified paging systems are made up of equipment that consume or provide operating current. To operate properly, the system needs to provide at least as much
24V current as it consumes.
Each product has a Current Units number. This number is either positive, negative, or zero to indicate how much current it provides to or consumes from the system.
Note: One Current Unit = 50 mA, 24V DC

No Draw on the System
WHAT MAKES A SELF-AMPLIFIED SPEAKER?
Built-In Amplifier
As the name suggests, all self-amplified speakers contain their own built-in, miniature amplifier. These amplifiers range in size from 1 watt, which are used on cone speakers, up to 30 watts, which are used on the SAH30 horn speakers.
Bogen’s latest line of self-amplified horns use a revolutionary digital switching amplifier. Unlike conventional analog amplifiers, this advanced technology produces very little heat when it operates.
It produces so little heat that all it needs to dissipate the waste heat are the copper interconnecting traces on the printed circuit board instead of the typical large aluminum heat sinks. Because it produces so little heat, it also draws considerably less power from the power supply. Why? Because it is not wasting half of the power supply energy it consumes as heat.
More typical in the industry are speakers that employ analog amplifiers, which produce considerable waste heat while operating. They typically release half the 24V power they consume in the form of heat, and heat is a major contributor to the failure of an amplifier.
The amplifiers in Bogen’s AH series of self-amplified horns are analog but rid themselves of waste heat through their large cast aluminum end bell that works as an excellent heat sink, quickly and effectively removing excess heat. Competitive products using plastic end bells don’t have this cooling advantage .
4 Wires
All self-amplified speakers require 4 wires to make the necessary connections. Two of the connections are used to provide 24V
DC power to the built-in amplifier. The other connection pair to a self-amplified speaker is for the audio signal input.
The general audio signal level is the same as what you would find on any analog telephone line. The input is transformer balanced, also similar to the inputs found on telephone systems. The balanced nature of the input greatly reduces interference and noise caused by equipment running in the facility. The use of an actual transformer provides electrical isolation between the input leads and the actual amplifier, which protects it from ground loops and
RF interference, and provides an all-around rugged input.

SPEAKER LAYOUT
The layout of the speakers should be planned before installation begins. The spacing of the speakers can be adjusted so that the speakers are evenly spaced in a row. Some adjustments may need to be made due to sound obstructions that may be in the area such as high shelving, cubicle walls, etc.
Ceiling Speakers
Layout starts in one corner of the area. The first speaker should be positioned from each wall a distance approximately equal to the ceiling height of the room (dimension A ).
The next speaker in row 1 should be spaced a distance approximately equal to twice the height of the ceiling
(dimension B ). Each additional speaker in the row should use this same spacing.
Row 2 starts at twice the ceiling height distance ( B ) from row 1 and twice the ceiling height ( B ) from the wall. The other speakers in this row are also spaced at twice the ceiling height.
Row 3 is again spaced at twice the ceiling height ( B ) from the previous row. The first speaker starting this row is positioned at one ceiling 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 speakers are evenly spaced in a row and are more aesthetically pleasing.

The next speaker in Row 1 should be a distance equivalent to ( C ) from the first speaker. Each additional speaker in the row should use this same spacing. Row 2 starts at the indicated distance ( D ) from
Row 1. Using the diagram as a guide, fill in the remaining rows in this same alternating pattern until the entire area is appropriately covered.
For areas that include high shelving or corridors, speakers should be installed so that they project down the aisles between the shelves or down through the corridors.
The spacing of the speakers can be adjusted so that the speakers are evenly spaced in a row.

Wall Baffle Speakers
The layout of the speakers should be planned prior to installation. Because wall baffle speakers are designed to project forward, it is best to aim them in the same direction, as this provides for both greater coverage and clarity. You can use the building’s roof pillars or other available supports for mounting the wall baffles. In some cases, it may be necessary to mount the wall baffles on opposing walls. In these cases, the speakers will project sound in opposing directions.

• Hallway/Room
Wall baffle speakers work well with rooms and hallways that are 20' 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 hallway or room. The next speaker on that wall should be installed 20' from the first speaker, as should any additional speakers required 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 the speakers. Each additional speaker should also be installed 20' apart from the previous one. (See Figure 1.)

• Open Area
The number of speakers needed to cover an open area and the layout of those speakers is contingent upon the availability of suitable mounting points in the area to be covered.
Layout starts in one corner of the room. The first speaker should be installed 10' from the corner of the room with each additional speaker in the first row installed in increments of 20' from the first.
Based on Figure 2, install the next row of speakers
30' from the first row and 20' from the wall with increments of 20' between each speaker. The third row would follow the example of the first and each additional row would continue this pattern of alternating rows until the whole area is covered.

SITE SURVEY
Designing a system and determining an installation’s requirements are quite simple. After you set up your first system, the steps will appear logical and soon the process will become routine. However, before you begin designing or quoting a job you will need some basic information regarding the site and the end-user’s needs. Use the Site Survey Check List below to ensure that you collect all the information you will need to complete the design of the paging system. When you have completed the check list, create a bill of material for the equipment you need for the installation’s sound system. Refer to the Easy Design ™ Guide
(pages 17-21), page 67 for 70V systems, or page 69 for 24V systems.
Tools Needed
(for Site Survey Check List below)
You will need to bring the following tools with you when you visit the 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 areas that may require special design considerations (high shelving, speaker mounting locations, exposed beams, amplifier location, etc.).
A successful paging system depends on more than just understanding the physical requirements of the installation site, it also depends on knowing which special paging features the user will benefit from and use on a daily basis. These include zone paging, tone controls, night ringer, feedback elimination, ambient noise sensors, multiple inputs, etc.

SPEAKER WIRING
Speaker Wiring Patterns
Because distributed paging systems involve a great number of speakers and long distances, the manner in which the speakers are wired is of interest. Deciding on how to wire the speakers depends on whether separate zones of speakers are needed, how many lines back to the amplifier are reasonable, and how easy it will be to troubleshoot the system in the future.
How you wire a speaker system may require some tradeoffs. The simplest way is to parallel all the speakers on one very long run of wire. This approach leads to some problems. First, the amount of power lost in a long run of wire may not allow the required amount of
70V speaker signal, or 24V DC voltage for selfamplified paging systems, to get to the farthest speakers. Second, if there should be a short on the wire run, it would take down the entire run. In order to locate it, you would need to disconnect each speaker until the failed one is found.
Multiple Wire Runs
A more practical approach is to wire each row of speakers in an area together and run a lead wire from this row back to the amplifier. The objective is not to have so many speakers daisy-chained together that it makes troubleshooting impossible. Wire runs can be separated to determine in which run the problem exists.
SPEAKER PHASING
As the voltage on a speaker changes from plus to minus, the speaker cone moves from pushing out to pulling in.
If you reverse the polarity, the speaker responds in the opposite manner.
If a speaker is pushing out and an adjacent speaker is pulling in, some of the pressure caused by the speaker pushing out will be absorbed by the speaker pulling in.
These two speakers are out of phase.
In a paging system, all the speakers should be in phase so that they all push out at the same time. Out of phase speakers operate perfectly well and will not cause any harm to a paging system, but will tend to diminish the bass response in the area around the out of phase speaker.
The important thing is to wire all the same polarity (+ or -) connections together. This will ensure that the speakers in the system all work in unison. All paging speaker connections have a polarity indicator. It may be a color code, plus
(+) and minus (-) symbols, or a red dot.

WIRE TYPES
Speaker Wire
The speaker wire best suited for paging systems is 2 conductors in a jacket. The gauge of the conductors varies depending on the installation. In many instances, a shielded version of the speaker wire is used. The shield can be useful to help protect the conductors from receiving electrical interference from other electrical equipment in the area. The shield is particularly useful when speakers are to be used as microphones in talk back applications (see page 52 for more information on talk back).
Shield (optional)
Jacket
2 Conductors
UTP
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wire has many uses but is most common in data and telecom installations. It uses solid conductors, typically 24 gauge. It has insulation to withstand voltages similar to speaker wire and can be used in 70V and self-amplified applications, as long as the thin gauge and the associated higher resistance is accounted for.
Also because there is no shield, the use of UTP in talk back applications (where the speaker acts as a micro-
phone) may lead to higher electrical noise on the talk back signal. There are normally several twisted pair in a single cable and these can be paralleled to approximate lower gauge wires (see page 75).

Shielded Cable
Shielded cable refers to any conductor, or conductors, wrapped in an electrically conductive shield. The two types of cable most prevalent for audio installations are:
• Single-Conductor Shielded Cable
Single-conductor shielded cable is used to connect external equipment to the unbalanced AUX inputs of amplifiers. The center conductor carries the signal source and the shield carries the ground between the amplifier and external equipment. In addition to completing the ground return between the electrical equipment, the cable provides a large amount of noise and interference protection for the center conductor. The most common connector for this type of cable is the Phono connector (a.k.a. the RCA connector). The connector’s center pin connects to the internal conductor and the skirt around the connector’s perimeter connects to the shield of the cable.

SINGLE-CONDUCTOR SHIELDED CABLE

• Two-Conductor Shielded Cable
Two-conductor shielded cable is typically used with balanced microphones. Two internal conductors are required for the low-impedance balanced microphones used in paging systems. The shield is wrapped around these conductors and provides the same protection against electrical interference and noise as single-conductor cable. Balanced microphone inputs provide a ground connection point for the shield. Without the ground connection, the shield would be ineffective. Some microphones with push-to-talk switches require two more conductors to carry the switch closure back to the amplifier. In this cable, the conductors for the switch closure are not wrapped in the shield but rather carried in the cable jacket outside of the shield. The most popular types of connectors for microphone cable are screw terminals and XLR connectors.

WIRE-RELATED LOSSES
Wire is an important but often ignored component of a paging system. Because all wire has resistance, some of the voltage at the source is lost or dropped in the wire before it reaches the target destination. The amount of voltage lost in the wires is affected by the resistance or gauge of the wire and the current flowing in the wire. This is classic Ohm’s law in action.
If the drops in the cables are not anticipated, the final volume level at the passive speaker may not meet the requirement or, for a self-amplified speaker, there may not be enough DC voltage available to the speaker to allow the builtin amplifier to operate cleanly, or at all.
There are different charts for centralized and self-amplified speakers to determine the maximum cable lengths that should be allowed. In the case of central amplifier systems, try to keep the system power lost in the wires to 10% or less.
However, less power at the speaker is the only negative effect larger losses have on the system. Clarity, intelligibility and frequency response are unaffected by larger losses in the wiring of centrally amplified systems.
Self-amplified systems are particularly sensitive to losses in the wire, especially the amount of supply voltage that is lost in the wires on the way to the self-amplified speaker. When the drop in the wiring becomes too large, the speakers may begin to distort or stop functioning altogether. For this reason it is important to adhere to the maximums shown in the tables below.
Wire Loss In
Central Amplifier Systems
Once you have an idea of how many speakers are to be wired together in a run, estimate how long the wire run will be from the first to the last speaker in each run. Include the lead-in wire length from the amplifier to the first speaker in each run in your overall run length. For each run, sum up the speaker power and cable lengths.
With that information, refer to the Wire Loss Chart to ensure that the wire gauge is sufficient to support the power and cable length for the run. It may be necessary to increase the wire gauge, split the speaker loads, or shorten the wire run lengths if they exceed the chart maximums.

Voltage Drop In
Self-Amplified Systems
The most important wiring consideration with self-amplified speakers is to ensure that there will be enough voltage available at each device to allow its internal amplifier to operate correctly. If too much voltage is dropped in the wires leading to a speaker, this may not be the case.
Once you have an idea of how many speakers are to be wired together in a run, estimate how long the wire run will be from the first to the last speaker in each run. Include the lead-in wire length from the power supply to the first speaker in each run. Also sum up the CU ratings of all the speakers on the run.
With that information, refer to the Voltage Drop
Chart to ensure that there are not too many speakers loading the wire used in the run or that the wire gauge is sufficient to support the power and cable length desired. To stay within the chart length limits, it may be necessary to either create a shorter run containing less speakers or double up on conductors in the cable to effectively lower the gauge of the supply wire.
The Reducing Gauge Chart can be used to determine what effective gauge is achieved by doubling or tripling up on pairs in the cable.

TELEPHONE INTERFACES
The most common way to make announcements over a paging system is through the telephone system. It is a convenient and readily available live input source. However, audio and telephone technologies are different. This sometimes makes it necessary to use an adapter to link the two systems together.
There are many types of telephone ports possible in telephone switches. The four types presented here – Page Port, Loop
Start trunk, Ground Start trunk, and Analog ring-up station – are the only ones Bogen recommends as interfaces to telephone systems. Other port types and specifically digital station ports are not suitable for connection to amplifiers and interface devices.
Page Ports
• Dedicated audio output available standard on most telephone systems
• Can be connected directly to the input of most amplifiers
• 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 background music muting
• Paging ports are not always bi-directional like telephone lines
(bi-directionality is necessary when including talk back capability in a paging system)
• Not all paging ports will produce DTMF tones which are necessary when using zone paging equipment
Loop And Ground Start
• The Loop Start, or CO port, is the most popular type of paging interface to use when a page port is not available or suitable
• A Ground Start trunk uses loop current but employs a request and acknowledgment handshake 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 through signal conditioning electronics
• When the trunk is released, the adapter detects the on-hook condition and immediately disconnects the amplifier from the trunk
• A pop at the end of a page is typically present due to the large change in telephone line voltage between on- and off-hook conditions
Analog Station
• An analog station allows interfacing when neither a paging port nor a trunk port is available
• Analog ring-up interfacing requires a more sophisticated interface than other methods
• The interface must detect a high-voltage ring signal and answer the call to start the page
• To determine when to disconnect the page, typically two system timers are used — one 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 a calling party control (CPC) signal, which indicates to the interface that the caller has disconnected;
Bogen interfaces disconnect immediately upon detecting a CPC signal

FREE APPLICATION DESIGN SERVICE
Bogen’s Application Design Service was created to assist with the design of paging systems for any and every project encountered. It’s fast, comprehensive, and
FREE.
So let us design it for you
!
The Application Design Service provides:
• Speaker Placement Design
• Complete Bill of Material – This includes product description, model number, and quantity. We can even fax it to the distributor of your choice for pricing, if you wish.
• Connectivity Drawings
• Scope of Work
• Detailed Assumptions
• Red-lined Blueprints
(blueprints must be supplied; AutoCAD ® accepted*) www.bogen.com/support/pdfs/requestform.pdf
Here’s how the Application Design Service works:
1 .
You provide information about the project (see Design Request Form on our website:
www.bogen.com/support/pdfs/requestform.pdf). For large or complex applications, your local Bogen Field Sales Manager can visit the site for exact specifications.
2. Bogen will provide you with a working technical bid response document...
and then all you have to do is deliver it.
Put Bogen’s resources and expertise to work for you.
A copy of the bid will also be sent to your local Bogen Field Sales Manager for immediate follow-up, and to see if you have any questions or need additional assistance.
No application is too big, small, simple, or complex for Bogen paging products.
Call 1-800-999-2809
