Input Connections

Installation Note
Keep input leads away from the output leads and AC power cables. Unless the driving source provides a low impedance output, keep the input lead under ten feet in length. Make all connections to the unit with the POWER switch in the OFF position

MIC 1- 4 (Rear Panel; #21 and #22)

MIC 1 through 4 utilize female XLR-type microphone connectors. A slide switch located above each XLR connector is used to supply phantom power for condenser microphones.

MIC 5/TEL (Rear Panel; #8 and #9)

The MIC 5/TEL input is designed to accept input from a microphone or from a telephone line. A slide switch is provided to select MIC 5 or TEL input. To connect a microphone, place the MIC 5/TEL switch in the MIC  position. Use two conductor shielded cable and connect the cable shieldto the center GND terminal. To use the TEL input, place the MIC 5/TEL switch in the TEL position and connect the 600-ohm telephone paging source (dry signal only – no DC voltage) to the MIC 5/TEL screw terminals. See page 5 for Phantom Power for MIC 5.

MIC 6/AUX 1 (Rear Panel; #6, #7, #20)

The MIC 6/AUX 1 input is designed to accept input from a microphone using terminal strip connections or from a high level auxiliary source such as a tuner or CD player using the AUX 1 RCA jack. A slide switch is used to select input type. Connect a microphone to the screw terminals labeledMIC 6 (works only when AUX 1/MIC 6 switch is in the MIC 6 position).Use two conductor shielded cable and connect the cable shield to the center GND terminal. Connect an auxiliary input source to the AUX 1 RCA jack (only works when the AUX 1/MIC 6 switch is in the AUX1 position.) See page 5 for Phantom Power for MIC 6.

AUX 2 (Rear Panel; #19)

The AUX 2 input uses an RCA plug and accepts input from a dedicated AUX source.

WARNING
Removal of the amplifier cover exposes internal components and presents an electrical shock hazard. For this reason, do not perform any functions requiring removal of the cover of the amplifier unless you are qualified to do so. Always disconnect AC power from the unit before attempting to remove the cover.

Phantom Power for MIC 5 & MIC 6 (Inside Unit)

A single internal jumper is provided to supply phantom power to both MIC 5 and MIC 6. The amplifier is shipped with the jumper in the OFF position. Place Jumper across “ON” Pins to apply Phantom Power to both MIC 5 and MIC 6. See the figure below for the location of the phantom power jumper.

Remote Volume Control (Rear Panel; #10)

If remote volume control is desired, connect the Bogey accessory GSRVC Remote Volume Control to the screw terminals marked REMOTE MSTR. Wire length can be up to 1000 feet using 22-gauge wire. Connections are not polarity sensitive.

Precedence Connections (Rear Panel; #11)

Precedence connections allow any combination of inputs to be completely muted with a contact closure. Closing a contact across any of the precedence terminals and the PREC COM 1 terminal will mute that input.
A customer-supplied normally-open SPST switch, push-to-talk switch, microphone switch, relay or telephone system contact can be used to provide the closure.

Note: Activating the precedence control for AUX inputs completely mutes the input signal. The VAR MUTE control has no effect when muting inputs using precedence control.

Output Connections

Output Terminal Strip (Rear Panel; #1)

Speaker systems are connected directly to the speaker output terminals on the rear panel. Connect one speaker lead to the COM terminal and the other to the terminal corresponding to the impedance of the speaker system. Select only one of the output types.

For ALL ground-referenced output operations (unbalanced systems), install a shorting clip (18 AWG solid wire jumper) between COM and GND. Installing this shorting clip will also reduce the potential for the amplifier going into protection when the input signals and/or the gain set are too high.

For special applications only that require floating outputs (i.e., balanced systems), do not install a shorting clip between COM and GND.

Note: If GND/COM shorting clip is not installed, the WMT1A and “TO PWR AMP” outputs will not operate. CLASS 2 WIRING SHALL BE USED.

WMT1A (Rear Panel; #2)

This RCA output jack, when used with a Bogen WMT1A Line-Matching Transformer accessory provides a 600-ohm output to feed a remote amplifier or a telephone line. Refer to the instructions provided with the WMT1A accessory for connection information.

Note: Shorting clip between GND/COM on the speaker output terminals strip must be installed to use this feature.

To Power Amp (Rear Panel; #3)

The Gold Seal Series amplifier may be used to drive an external power amplifier (can only be used with unbalanced high-impedance inputs).

Note: Shorting clip between GND/COM on the speaker output terminal strip must be installed to use this feature.

Pre-Out/Power In Jacks (Rear Panel; #12, #13, #14)

These jacks permit the insertion of signal processing equipment into the signal path between the preamp output and the power amp input. The LINK switch should be in the IN position for normal operation. When using external signal processing equipment, place the switch in the OUT position and connect PRE OUT to the signal processing equipment’s input.
Connect the POWER IN to the signal processing equipment’s output.

Note: Ensure that the LINK switch is in the IN position when NOT using external signal processing equipment, otherwise there will be no output from the amplifier.

Tape Out (Rear Panel; #15)

The TAPE OUT jack provides a line-level output to feed a recording device. The output is not effected by the Master volume control or EQ, however, the output is affected by the microphone inputs’ Lo-Cut filter.

Operation

Power Switch (Front Panel; #10)

The POWER switch applies power to the unit. Above the switch is an LED  light which will illuminate RED when power is on. Individual Volume

Controls (Front Panel; #1– #4)

Each input is controlled by an individual volume control.

Master Volume Control (Front Panel; #8)

The overall volume is controlled by the MASTER volume control.

Lo-Cut Filter (Rear Panel; #5)

The Lo-Cut filter on the rear panel provides low-frequency attenuation on the microphone inputs. This helps reduce mic breath pop, wind noise, and rumble.

Contour Switch (Front Panel; #5)

This switch enables or bypasses the variable loudness contour. This feature only effects the AUX inputs.

This feature is designed to improve richness of sound by restoring the high and low frequencies that the ear is insensitive to at low volume levels. The effect diminishes as volume is increased.

Audio Enhancement

(Front Panel; #9 / Rear Panel; #16)

The front panel Audio Enhancement switch enables or bypasses the Audio Enhancement feature. This feature effects all inputs when enabled.

By regenerating the upper harmonics, this audio enhancement system recreates the presence and realism that is lost in the audio amplification process. This results in increased presence and clarity, increased intelligibility, greater perceived loudness (without using extra power), and reduced listener fatigue.

The rear panel AE adjustment controls the mix of the Audio Enhancement effect with the audio signal. Counterclockwise rotation of the control minimizes the Audio Enhancement effect. Clockwise rotation of the control maximizes the Audio Enhancement effect.

Dual-Function Acoustic Equalizer

(Front Panel; #6)

The unique dual-function equalizer can be used for acoustic shaping or for feedback control.

Note: When the switch is placed in the OUT position, the equalizer is bypassed for a flat response.

Acoustic Shaping Mode

When the switch is set in the ACOUSTIC EQ position, full range equalization (10 bands on 1 octave centers starting at 62.5 Hz) is provided 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 Mode

When the switch is placed in the FEEDBACK CONTROL position, the equalizer can be used to reduce feedback and increase the effective gain of the system.

In feedback control mode, the equalizer provides increased control of frequencies between 125 Hz and 8 kHz. The 10 bands are located on 2/3 octave centers with 12 dB cut/boost on each band.

Telephone Paging Controls & Settings

The MIC 5/TEL volume control on the front panel controls the volume of the telephone paging input when the control is set to the TEL mode (See page 4 for information on setting the TEL input mode).

The TEL input mode uses voice-activated muting for the AUX inputs and automatic level control for providing constant paging level. To optimize TEL input performance, both the ALC control and the VOX threshold may need to be adjusted.

ALC (Rear Panel; #17)

The TEL input features an automatic level control (ALC) which compensates for different voice levels and speaking styles of the individuals using the system. The amplifier is shipped with this control in the OFF (max. counterclockwise) position.

To adjust the ALC:

1. Rotate the MIC 5/TEL and MASTER controls to the highest level likely to be used.
2. Speak softly and distinctly into the telephone mouthpiece while adjusting the MIC 5/TEL volume control to the desired output level.
3. Speak in a loud voice directly into the telephone mouthpiece while rotating the ALC control clockwise to the point where the output of the amplifier is reduced to the same level as that obtained in Step 2.
4. The MIC 5/TEL and MASTER controls can be used to vary the overall volume without upsetting the ALC adjustment.

VOX (Rear Panel; #18)

The telephone page input features voice-activated AUX muting. This feature always mutes AUX 2 and only mutes AUX 1 when the AUX1/MIC 6 switch is set in that position.

The VOX control should be set so that only the desired signal is above the threshold level, while unwanted noise is below it.

To adjust the sensitivity of the VOX circuit:

1. Rotate the VOX control fully clockwise. While making a public address announcement and talking at a low level, the sound should not be choppy or missing parts of words. If it is choppy or intelligibility is poor, rotate control counterclockwise to the point where the sound is clear and crisp (but not to the maximum counterclockwise position).
2. If the background music shuts down when no page is in progress, rotate the control clockwise until the music will not shut down when no page is in progress.

Variable Mute (Rear Panel; #4)

The VAR MUTE control mutes the AUX input(s) only during telephone pages. The control allows the user to select from 4 levels of muting: 1 = -60 dB, 2 = -21 dB, 3 = -10 dB, 4 = 0 dB.

Troubleshooting

Amplifier will not turn ON.| Check the fuse. Replace fuse only with same type and rating.
---|---
No output on WMT1A and Power Amp Outputs.| Make sure that the speaker output GND/COM shorting clip is in place.
No telephone output.| Make sure that the MIC 5/TEL switch is in the TEL position. Make sure the VOX control is set properly When connecting the telephone Tip & Ring, make sure to use the two outside terminals and not the center terminal (GND).
AUX Input will not mute with telephone page.| Check that the VAR MUTE control is not set to 4 (0 dB). This control adjusts the level of the background music when making a page. See page 9.
Microphone squeals or hums when using the 3-pin connectors but not when using screw terminals.| Check your wiring connections for the 3-pin connector. Pin 1 is the shield connection. Pins 2 and 3 connect to the balanced signal leads on the mic cable.
Condenser MIC will not work.| Make sure that phantom power switch (MIC 1 – 4) is on. See page 4. MIC 5 and 6 use circuit board jumper. See page 5.
Telephone input cuts off the music when not making a page.| Adjust the VOX control on the rear panel to eliminate any unwanted noise that may be triggering the VAR MUTE circuit. See page 9.
Telephone input is choppy or cuts off the beginning of a page.| Adjust the VOX control counterclockwise to make the trigger activate at a lower input signal level. See page 9.
The telephone page volume is too loud on some pages.| Adjust the ALC control on the rear panel. See page 9.
AUX 1 Input not working.| Make sure MIC 6/AUX 1 switch is in the AUX 1 position. Make sure the signal source is plugged into the AUX 1 RCA jack.
Amplifier temporarily goes into protection mode .AND/OR Sound output to speakers cuts-out momentarily.| Class-D amplifiers have built-in protection to prevent overloading which may damage circuitry and/or connected speakers. (See explanation below for details.)Make sure the MIC / AUX / TEL input signals do not exceed specifications. Lower the gain on the MIC / AUX / TEL inputs using the front panel adjustment knobs and/or lower the Master Volume using the front panel adjustment knob. Install a shorting clip between COM and GND, as per recommendations on Page 6 “Output Connections”.

Class-D Audio Amplifier Full-Power Clipping and Self-Protection Explained

Class-D audio amplifiers operate on a completely different principal than legacy Class A-B amplifiers. To  istinguish and understand the differences as they relate to full-power clipping and protection, some review is in order.

A short review of Class A-B operation and self-protection
Legacy Class A-B audio amplifiers are ‘linear’ amplifiers and if driven past their power limits will ‘clip’ the output signal. When this occurs the amplifier simply can’t draw enough current from the AC wall receptacle to produce the output audio waveform as a ‘likeness’, of the input signal. The term ‘clip’ arises from the output signal waveform having a ‘clipped-off’ appearance, or a straight-line appearing across the output waveform. If the input audio signal voltage continues to be increased by the user (by turning up the volume control), the amplifier will protect itself by opening or blowing its AC line fuse, or engaging some other equally protective device. Output signal clipping is heard as a highly distorted signal from the speakers, and in many cases damaging the speakers too.

Class-D audio amplifier operation and self-protection
Class-D amplifiers are becoming the norm for audio amplifier applications because of their overall performance in audio reproduction, smaller physical size and improved energy efficiency.
The basic operating principles behind Class-D amplifiers operating requires active logic controls to be employed that monitor input and output waveforms. Rather than allowing the output waveform to clip and possibly damage speakers, the amplifier has built-in self-protection circuitry which simply turns off the amplifier integrated control circuit. The end-result is silence, also colloquially known as a “hole-in the audio”. The audio output to the speaker(s) will simply shut-off until the amplifier’s internal protection is relieved of this overload condition. This behavior is intrinsic to Class-D amplifiers and is considered normal operation. This effect is minimized/avoided by properly configuring an audio system within its performance limits.
