DESCRIPTION
The Bogen Model CHSlOO is a fully transistorized
public address amplifier rated at 100 watts. The unit
will accommodate two microphone inputs and two
auxiliary inputs for a tuner, tape recorder, or phono-
graph with a ceramic cartridge. The amplifier will
accommodate either high or low impedance microphones, and no transformer is required to change from
one microphone impedance to the other.
An optional accessory designed to mount on the
front panel of the CHSlOO provides two additional
high or low impedance microphone inputs. A BRIDGING
receptacle on the rear panel accepts additional
level, ‘high-impedance signals from a unit having its
own volume control. such as a
corder or tuner. The BRIDGING receptacle can also
be used as a high-impedance output to feed a tape
recorder or auxiliary amplifier. The master volume
control will not affect the bridging output level.

ACCESSORIES
PMA-2 ADD-ON PREAMPLIFIER
The Bogen Model PMA-2 Preamplifier is designed
to provide two additional microphone channels for the
CHSlOO amplifier. Each preamp channel has its own
volume control and will accommodate either high-impedance or low impedance microphones. The unit is
connected to the Preamp Accessory socket on the top
chassis of the CHSlOO amplifier. When installed, the
PMA-2 control knobs protrude through the front panel
of the CHSlOO amplifier.

also functions as an output matching transformer in
feeding special program material over a 500/600 ohm
telephone line for transmission to a local broadcast
studio.
LVP-I ACCESSORY
The Bogen Model LVP-1 is a plug-in accessory
which permits the user to provide microphone precedence when used with a customer supplied switch

RVC-I REMOTE VOLUME CONTROL
The Bogen Model RVC-1 accessory permits the
amplifier to provide remote volume control when used
in conjunction with LVP-1 accessory.
MODEL LPC-4 PHONO PLAYER TOP
Model LPC-4 is a complete four-speed phono-
player designed to be mounted directly on top of the
amplifier. The unit comes complete with all necessary
hardware, and can be easily installed and connected
to amplifier with only a screwdriver. A tone arm
hous-
ing a dual-stylus turnover cartridge is included with
record player.
LK-IO CONTROL GUARD LOCKING PLATE
The Bogen Model LK-10 control guard locking
plate is designed to prevent unauthorized tampering
with the controls of amplifier. It comes complete with
two sets of keys. The key cannot be removed when
the lock is in open position.
RPK-27 RACK PANEL
The Bogen Model RPK-27 rack panel kit is designed to mount the
out the PMA-2 preamplifier) in a standard 19”
rack. The rack panel is finished in gray enamel.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING power cables.
Inspect the shipping container and amplifier for
indications of improper handling. The amplifier was
carefully checked before leaving factory. If the unit
has been damaged, make an immediate claim to the
dealer
or distributor from whom it was purchased. If
the amplifier was shipped to you, notify the trans-
portation company without delay and place your claim.
CONNECTIONS BETWEEN COMPONENTS
For high-impedance inputs, use single-conductor,
low-capacity shielded wire for connecting the record
player, tape recorder, and other components to the
amplifier. Keep leads under ten feet in length.
For low-impedance microphone inputs, use
singleconductor shielded wire, in lengths from 50 to 500
feet depending on the characteristics of the microphone.
Speakers may be connected with standard flexible line cord (zip-cord), and up to 100 feet of cable
may be used without appreciable loss.
Make certain that all input cables are kept away
from speakers cables, power cables, and power trans-
formers, and that speaker cables are kept away from

The amplifier is furnished with an AC line cord
terminated in a three-prong plug. Plug the line cord
into a three-wire grounded outlet providing a nominal

It is advisable to ground the amplifier. Therefore,

MICROPHONES
Two microphones may be connected to the amplifier, and either or both may be used simultaneously.
Either high or low-impedance microphones may be
used. The amplifier is shipped with an adaptor in the
microphone receptacles, which permits high-impedance

ohms or more) to the MIC 1 HI
Z
receptacle on the
rear panel of the amplifiet (see figure 2). Connect a
second high-impedance microphone to the receptacle

Use a single-conductor shielded
cable, terminating either in a phone plug or a standard
microphone connector (Amphenol 75-MClF or equiv-
alent). Remove the adaptor from the microphone receptacle when the phone plug is used. The cable
length from the microphone to the amplifier should be
kept under 10 feet.
LO Z: Connect low-impedance microphones (600 ohms
or less) to the LO Z terminal strip on the rear panel
(see figure 2). Use a single-conductor shielded cable.
The conductor is connected to the MIC 1 terminal and
the shield to GND. Connect a second low-impedance
microphone to the terminal strip in the same manner,
with the high side of the cable to the MIC 2 terminal
