INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
The amplifier was thoroughly checked before leaving the
factory. Inspect the amplifier and shipping container
carefully for evidence of improper handling during shipment. In case of damage, make an immediate claim to the
dealer or distributor from whom the unit was purchased. If
the amplifier was shipped to you, notify the carrier without
delay and file a claim.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
Keep the input lead away from the output lead and ac
power cables. Unless the driving source provides a
low-impedance output, keep the input lead under ten feet

in length. Refer to Table I for
Bogen
preamplifiers suitable
for use with the amplifier.
HIGH IMPEDANCE INPUT: The amplifier can be driven to
mV
full output from any source developing 200
across one
of the Hi-Z inputs. Wire a single-conductor, low-capacity
shielded input cable to a standard phono plug (Cinch
18A,
or equivalent) and connect to one of the Hi-Z jacks on the
rear of the chassis.
LOW IMPEDANCE INPUT: The amplifier may be driven
from a low-impedance
(500/6OOa) input, if a
TL-600 transformer is installed in socket
chassis. Connect a twisted, shielded pair
Bogen
X1
on top of the
(Bogen
BB-8450,
Model
or equiv.) input cable to the BAL. INPUT LOW Z terminal
strip on the rear of the unit. Use the two terminals on the
right of the strip and connect the cable shield to the GND
terminal on the left. If an unbalanced input is required,
connect a jumper from the GND terminal to the adjacent
input terminal.
CAUTION
Remove all power from unit before installing
transformers.
BRIDGING INPUT: The inputs for two or more amplifiers
may be paralleled without loss of gain. To do this, install a
Bogen
Model
TL-IOK
transformer in socket X1 on top of
the chassis. Connect the bridged inputs to BAL LOW Z
terminal strip on the rear of the unit. Use the two terminals
on the right of the strip and connect the cable shields to the
GND terminal on the left. If an unbalanced input is
required, connect a jumper from the GND terminal to the
adjacent input terminal.
CONSTANT-VOLTAGE INPUT: The amplifier can be
driven from a standard public address amplifier that
provides a
25volt
or
70-volt
constant voltage output. To do
this, connect the output of the amplifier to one of the Hi-Z
INPUT
resistors shown in
jacks
via a resistor network (see figure 1). The
figure 1
are in addition to the normal
loudspeaker load on the output of the public address
amplifier.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Speakers may be connected with standard flexible line
cord (zip-cord) and up to 100 feet of cable may be used
without appreciable loss. Class II wiring is acceptable unless
prohibited by local codes.
70V
CONSTANT-VOLTAGE
OUTPUT. For 70V constant-
voltage operation, connect the speaker leads to the 70V
and COM 2 terminals on the rear of unit. If ground-
ing is required, connect a jumper from the COM 2 to GND.
25V
CONSTANT-VOLTAGE OUTPUT. For
25V
constantvoltage unbalanced operation, connect the speaker leads to
25V
and COM 1, leaving the link connected between
COM
1
and GND. For balanced operation, open the link
COM 1
between
and GND. If the output transformer center
tap must be grounded, connect a jumper between 25VCT
and GND.

8 OHM OUTPUT.
For 16fi or 8R operation,

terminal and COM
If ungrounded operation is desired,
open the link between COM 1 and GND.
CONNECTING AMPLIFIERS IN SERIES
Pairs of
Bogen MT1 25A
amplifiers or MT60 amplifiers
can be connected in series to effectively double the power
output into the same loadline. See Figure 2 for connection
diagrams. Be certain to remove the link between COM 1 and
GND of amplifier No. 2.
Depending on the impedance of the signal source, apply
the input signal to the HI Z or LO Z input of amplifier No.
1. Use jumpers to connect the appropriate input of
amplifier No. 2 in parallel with that of amplifier No. 1.
It is necessary that both amplifier volume controls be at
the same setting to assure that each amplifier will share the
load equally.
