Architect and Engineer Specifications
- Architect and Engineer Specifications
- The public address amplifier shall be a Bogen Model _________, or approved equivalent, with a full power rating of _______watts. (Specify: C10/10 watts or C20/20 watts.) The frequency response shall be 70Hz to 16kHz ±1dB, with less than 1% distortion at rated power output. Input sensitivity shall be 600μV for low-impedance balanced microphones, 85mV for auxiliary inputs, and 75mV for the telephone input. Hum and noise shall be 55dB below rated output for the MIC input, and 70dB below rated output for the AUX and TEL inputs. The amplifier shall provide simultaneous mixing of two low-impedance balanced microphones and one telephone input; or one microphone, one auxiliary input, and one telephone input. The unit shall have a front panel selector switch which shall allow one of the input channels (MIC 2/AUX) to be selected for use as a microphone or an auxiliary input. It shall be possible to mute the auxiliary input when a customer-supplied SPST switch is attached to the AUX MUTE terminals on the rear panel. The TEL input shall provide signal-activated paging with muting of the AUX channel. A VOX threshold control shall be included to eliminate activation of the channel by noise on the telephone line. The threshold control and TEL volume control shall be located on the rear panel. The microphone inputs shall be equipped with filters to protect against RF interference. Independent volume controls and a treble cut control (-11dB @ 10kHz) shall be incorporated. The amplifier shall provide output impedances of 4-, 8-, and 16-ohm speaker systems as well as for 25V and 70V constant voltage systems. The amplifier shall contain a self resetting thermostat in the power transformer to protect against heat build-up and short circuited or overloaded connections. The amplifier shall be mountable in 19-inch equipment racks, using an optional rack panel kit (Bogen Model RPK35B), or in a flush-in-wall mounting cabinet with tilt-out locking panel (Bogen Model WMK1). Dimensions shall be 11-3/8" W x 2-7/8" H x 7-3/8" D. Product weight shall be 5 lbs. for Model C10 and 6 lbs. for Model C20.2
