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 micro-
phones, and no transformer is required to change from
one microphone impedance to the other.

Individual volume controls are provided for each

microphone input. A fader volume controls selects and

adjusts the level of the desired auxiliary input and
permits fading between the two inputs. A master vol-
ume control regulates the mixed output level. Sep-

arate bass and treble controls permit adjustments for

tonal balance.

Outputs are provided for 2, 8 and 16-ohm speakers

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-im-
pedance 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.

especially for matching either inputs from or outputs
to a 500/600 ohm line. As an input matching trans-

former it may be used with the Bogen amplifier for

 

distributing background music which has been trans-
mitted over leased telephone lines. The, accessory

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.
