BOGEN 150W 8 Ohm High-Performance Loudspeaker
Power Tap Selection
S5T – 8-ohm or 70V -32W/16W/8W/4W/2W/1 W ·
S4T – 8-ohm or 70V -16W/8W/4W/2W/1W
IMPORTANT : When connecting to a 70V amplifier, make sure that the Tap
Selector is not in the “80” positron.
Speaker Connections and Polarity
Strip about 1/2″ of insulation from the wires. Push down on the spring clamps, and insert the wire into the hole, then release the clamp. To ensure proper polarity, wire black terminals to black terminals and red te·rminals to red terminals on the same speaker run.
70V System Configurations
When designing a 70V system, the total of all power tap se:ttings of all the
connected speakers CANNOT EXCEED the output power of the 70V amplifier
(amplifier power can exceed the sum of the speaker
loads)
EXAMPLE: 16 + 32 + 8 + 8 + 16 = 80 Watts minimum amplifier output power rating.
Low-Impedance System Configurations
When wiring together multiple NEAR Signature speakers set to 8 ohms, it is important to calculate (using Ohm’s Law) the total load that these speakers present to the amplifier. The tota1 load impedance of the interconnected speakers cannot be lower than the minimum loa impedance rating of the low- impedance a.mplifier. Also care must be taken to ensure the amplifier cannot overdrive the speaker’s max power rating.
EXAMPLE: Two 80 speakers in parallel = 40. The amplifier must be rated to work into 40 loads Also in this example1 the max ampHfier output power rating (each channel into 40) should not exceed 150W for S4/T (2 X 75W) speakers or 300 for ssrr (2 X 150W).
Wall-Mounting Instructions
-
Secure Mounting B·ase (A) to wall as shown.
IMPORTANT: THE WALL MATERIAL AND USER SUPPLIED ATTACHMENT HARDWARE MUST BE ABLE TO RESIST A PULL OUT FORCE OF AT LEAST 10X THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER -
. Determine the desired orientation (horizontal or vertical) for the speaker. Attach the Mounting Cup Bracket (B) to the indentation (C} on the back of the speaker enclosureusing the two supplied MS screws as shown.
-
Connect the speaker wires to the rear input terminals on the loudspeaker. Set the speaker with Mounting Cup Bracket (B) over the Mounting Base (A). Loosely screw the Mounting Cap Nut (D) onto the Mounting Base threaded stud.
Aim the speaker and then firmly tighten the Mounting Cap Nut (D) with a 1/2″ nut driver or socket wrench. Be carefui not to over-tighten.
Safety Cable Attachment Point
The NEAR Signature speakers provide an attachment point for a user-supplied safety cable. The other end of the safety cable must be attached to a a user- supplied anchor independent of the speaker mounting hardware. All hardware, including the cable, must be rated to withstand a force 1 OX greater than the weight of the speaker.
Care & Maintenance
If needed, you may clean the spea.ker cabinet by using only soap and water with a soft cloth to wipe gently.
