UNPACKING

The amphfier was carefully checked before leaving the factory. Inspect shipping container and unit carefully for indication of improper handling; if the unit has been damaged, make an immediate claim to distributor from whom it was purchased, or if the amplifier was shipped
directly to you, notify transportation company without
delay and place your claim.

POWER AND GROUNDING

The amplifier is furnished with an ac line cord
terminated in a three-prong plug. The line cord should be
plugged into a three wire grounded outlet providing a
nominal 120-volt,.60 Hz power source. This will ground the amplifier as well as supply power to it.
It is important to ground the amplifier. Therefore, if a three-wire outlet is not available, an adapter such as Levitón No. 5017 should be used to convert a standard two-wire
outlet for use with three-wire plugs. The adapter is provided with a grounding pigtail which should be connected to the screw holding the wall plate to the receptacle.
In some areas, the wall plate screw is not grounded. In
this case it will be necessary to connect a grounding wire from the GND terminal on the rear chassis of the amphfier to a water or steam pipe.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
MICROPHONE: Connect the microphone to the MIC
receptacle on the rear panel.
The microphone should be of the high-impedance ceramic, or dynamic type. Connect the microphone as shown in figure 1. The length of the interconnecting cable should be under 35 feet. Where longer lines are necessary, a low impedance microphone should be used along with Model IT-1, in-line type microphone transformer.
MICROPHONE PRECEDENCE: Microphone precedence
may be accomplished by connecting the circuit shown in

Figure 2 — Microphone Precedence Circuit
figure 2. The equipment consists of a microphone, a Y-adapter (Switchcraft Part No. 330F1), a single-conductor
shielded cable (20 feet maximum length) and a SPOT switch. If the microphone switch has an extra set of contacts for controlling an external circuit, such as on the Shure Model 450, the SPOT switch is not required.
Plug the Y-adapter into the AUX input jack on the rear of the amplifier. Connect the program source and precedence switch to the Y-adapter, as shown in the figure. Connect the microphone input to the MIC input jack.
PHONO; Connect a phonograph (with ceramic cartridge) to
the AUX jack, using a single-conductor shielded cable
terminated in a standard RCA phono plug. It is recom mended that a separate ground wire be connected between the phono player base and the amplifier GND terminal to minimize hum pick-up.
TUNER, TAPE, ETC.: The AUX input may be used for
souices other than a phonograph. Any signal soprcc having
a highdevel (.15-3V) output may be connected to these inputs. This includes such Bogen equipment as the Model BRC 3-speed automatic record changer, and Model TP160 AM/FM tuner.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Figure 3 — Speaker Output Plug Wiring
When the speaker socket is used, connect the wired plug to the socket. Attach the impedance selector lead to the output terminal which corresponds to the speaker system impedance. For 70-volt operation, it is only necessary to connect the wired plug to the quick-disconnect speaker socket, leaving the impedance selector discormected. Note that the arrangement in figured is for unbalanced speaker lines, with the link between COM and GND closed. For balanced lines, open the link between COM and GND.
NOTE
For balanced output lines, remove the link
between COM and GND output terminals. If the line is shielded, connect the shield to GND.
CONNECTING AMPLIFIERS IN SERIES
Pairs of Bogen CIO amplifiers can be connected in series
to effectively double the power output into the same speaker system. See figure 4 for connection diagram. Be certain to remove the link between COM and GND of amplifier No. 2. Note that this arrangement is for unbalanced speaker lines. For balanced lines also remove the link between COM and GND of amplifier No. 1.
( ^
SPEAKERS: The amplifier may be uspd with speaker
systems rnteri at 4, S and 16 ohms and with 25-volt and
70-volt constant voltage^systems. For detailed information on the installation of multiple speaker systems, refer to the
Speaker Installation Bulletin (no. 54-5001) included.
In permanent installations, where speakers will remain
connected to the amplifier, connect the speaker system directly to the Speaker Output terminals on the rear of the
amplifier. Connect one speaker lead to the COM terminal and the other to the terminal corresponding to the im pedance of the speaker system.

CAUTION

To minimize shock hazard. Class 1 wiring as defined in local building codes should be used for 70-volt outputs. All other outputs may use Class 2 wiring.
The input cabling must be arranged to parallel the inputs of the two amplifiers, and the volume and tone controls of both amplifiers must be at the same setting to assure that each amplifier will share the load equally.

OPERATION

MAINTENANCE

POWER: The POWER switch on the front panel turns the
amplifier ON or OFF.
MIC: The MiC control on the front panel is used to adjust
the volume of the microphone input. Rotate the control clockwise (to the higher numbers) to increase volume. Set
the cnntrnl to the minimum position (0) when the
microphone input is not used.
AUX: The AUX control adjusts the volume of the auxiliary
input.
TREBLE: Use the TREBLE control to adjust the tonal
balance of the amplifier output. The maximum clockwise position provides flat frequency response and counter
clockwise produces high frequency attenuation. This
control can also be used to remove high-frequency noise (such as record scratch) by rotating it in the counter clockwise direction.

ACCESSORIES

WMT-1 LINE MATCHING TRANSFORMER: The Bogen
WMT-J line-matching transformer provides an impedance
match between the amplifier and a 0 level, 500/600-ohm
line. This may be a telephone line connected to the
switchboard for internal paging or used with a wired music system. No soldering is required to connect the WMT-1 to the amplifier.
To connect the input from a balanced 500/600-ohm
telephone line, mount the WMT-1 on the rear panel of the
amplifier, using the holes indicated on the rear panel.
Connect the input line to the three-sciew terminal board on
the WMT-1, Connect the phono plug on the WMT-I cable to the AUX jack on the rear of the amplifier. If this jack is being used for other sound inputs, the WMT-1 may be connected to the MIC input. In order to do this, the WMT-1 wiring must be modified as described in the instruction sheet supplied with the WMT-1,
MODEL BRC RECORD CHANGER: This accessory is a
3-speed ac operated record player and automatic record
changer. A tone arm housing a dual-stylus flip-over
cartridge for standard or LP records is furnished with the

OVER LOAD PROTECTION
The amplifier output is protected against overload and
shorted speaker lines by a thermostat enclosed in the
power transformer. If the breaker opens, the amplifier will
have no output. Set the ac power switch to off and wait a
reasonable time for the breaker to reset. Return the ac
power switch to on. If the breaker trips again, do not attempt to reset it but have the trouble investigated by a qualified technician.
REPLACING TRANSISTORS
When replacing the output transistors, clean all foreign matter from the heat sink, insulator, and transistor. Brush a generous amount of silicon compound such as Dow Corning
No. 340 to completely cover both surfaces of the insulator
(Part No. 16-9278-01). Place the insulator between the heat
sink and the replacement transistor. Use the original transistor mounting hardware to mount the replacement
transis Lur.
CAUTION
All transistors are soldered to ensure maximum
reliability. When soldering leads, use a heat sink (such as a small alligator clip) between the
transistor and the source of heat.
