Bogen's Power Vector modular input amplifier series consists of five models, ranging from 35 to 250 watts of
power. Each model accepts up to 8 plug-in modules with 4 levels of priority between modules. Two module bays
also accept signal-processing output modules.
Each input has its own independent volume control and a signal/clip indicator. An 11-segment LED meter indicates
output level, while a motorized master volume control allows smooth and accurate operation of the unit's master
volume control from a remote control panel (sold separately).
Five amplifier models
offer minimum power
handling capacity of 35,
60, 100, 150, and 250 watts
and each has a
substantial power reserve.
(Typical reserve power@1kHz)

Wide Selection of Advanced Plug-In Modules
Bogen's new advanced input modules provide a wide range of input types allowing for custom configuration of
inputs - in both type and number - for a particular application. Modules are fully-featured for their application, many
with Bass/Treble, Gain, Music Ducking, Mute Send and Mute Receive. Mix and match a variety of modules to meet
your specific installation needs. Each of Bogen's modules support different signal-source/processing requirements.
Included interface features are: balanced and unbalanced inputs; stereo or mono; telephone systems/PBXs; trans-
former-isolated; microphones; tone generator; and bridging.
Signal-Processing Output Modules
Bogen's new output modules offer a cost effective and convenient way to add specific signal processing capability
into a system. These modules automatically insert themselves into the audio signal path and eliminate the need for
external wiring as well as accessory outboard equipment. The selection includes an ambient noise sensor, compres-
sor/limiter, and parametric equalizer. Each Power Vector amplifier accepts up to two signal-processing output modules.
The amplifier automatically detects the presence of an installed signal-processing output module, and automatically
inserts it into the audio signal path of the amplifier. All connections are done internally, so there is no need for patch cords
to connect to the inserts. When two output modules are installed, the signal processing effects are cascaded. In addition,
each output module includes an unbalanced input that is controlled by the amplifier's input control so an input is not forfeit-
ed when an output module is used.
Output modules afford two other benefits:
(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
(such as volume, bass, and treble) can affect it. This then ensures that signal level dependent processors, such as
the Compressor/Limiter and the Ambient Noise Sensor modules, perform as intended regardless of front panel
control changes (excluding input volume controls).

Wide Selection of Advanced Plug-In Modules
Bogen's new advanced input modules provide a wide range of input types allowing for custom configuration of
inputs - in both type and number - for a particular application. Modules are fully-featured for their application, many
with Bass/Treble, Gain, Music Ducking, Mute Send and Mute Receive. Mix and match a variety of modules to meet
your specific installation needs. Each of Bogen's modules support different signal-source/processing requirements.
Included interface features are: balanced and unbalanced inputs; stereo or mono; telephone systems/PBXs; trans-
former-isolated; microphones; tone generator; and bridging.
Signal-Processing Output Modules
Bogen's new output modules offer a cost effective and convenient way to add specific signal processing capability
into a system. These modules automatically insert themselves into the audio signal path and eliminate the need for
external wiring as well as accessory outboard equipment. The selection includes an ambient noise sensor, compres-
sor/limiter, and parametric equalizer. Each Power Vector amplifier accepts up to two signal-processing output modules.
The amplifier automatically detects the presence of an installed signal-processing output module, and automatically
inserts it into the audio signal path of the amplifier. All connections are done internally, so there is no need for patch cords
to connect to the inserts. When two output modules are installed, the signal processing effects are cascaded. In addition,
each output module includes an unbalanced input that is controlled by the amplifier's input control so an input is not forfeit-
ed when an output module is used.
Output modules afford two other benefits:
(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
(such as volume, bass, and treble) can affect it. This then ensures that signal level dependent processors, such as
the Compressor/Limiter and the Ambient Noise Sensor modules, perform as intended regardless of front panel
control changes (excluding input volume controls).

Bogen's Power Vector modular input amplifier series consists of five models, ranging from 35 to 250 watts of
power. Each model accepts up to 8 plug-in modules with 4 levels of priority between modules. Two module bays
also accept signal-processing output modules.
Each input has its own independent volume control and a signal/clip indicator. An 11-segment LED meter indicates
output level, while a motorized master volume control allows smooth and accurate operation of the unit's master
volume control from a remote control panel (sold separately).
Five amplifier models
offer minimum power
handling capacity of 35,
60, 100, 150, and 250 watts
