Output Connections

6

Output Terminal Strip 

(Rear Panel; #1)

Speaker systems are connected directly to the speaker output
terminals on the rear panel. Connect one speaker lead to the COM
terminal and the other to the terminal corresponding to the impedance of
the speaker system. Select only one of the output types.

For ground-referenced output operation (unbalanced systems), install a
shorting clip between COM and GND. For special applications that require
floating outputs (balanced systems), do not install a shorting clip between
COM and GND. 

Note: If GND/COM shorting clip is not installed, the WMT1A

and “TO PWR AMP” outputs will not operate.

WMT1A 

(Rear Panel; #2)

This RCA output jack, when used with a Bogen WMT1A Line-Matching
Transformer accessory provides a 600-ohm output to feed a remote
amplifier or a telephone line. Refer to the instructions provided with the
WMT1A accessory for connection information.

Note: Shorting clip between GND/COM on the speaker output

terminals strip must be installed to use this feature.

To Power Amp 

(Rear Panel; #3)

The Gold Seal Series amplifier may be used to drive an external power am-
plifier (can only be used with unbalanced high-impedance inputs).

Note: Shorting clip between GND/COM on the speaker output

terminal strip must be installed to use this feature.

Pre-Out/Power In Jacks 

(Rear Panel; #12, #13, #14)

These jacks permit the insertion of signal processing equipment into the
signal path between the preamp output and the power amp input. The
LINK switch should be in the IN position for normal operation. When using
external signal processing equipment, place the switch in the OUT posi-
tion and connect PRE OUT to the signal processing equipment’s input.
Connect the POWER IN to the signal processing equipment’s output.  

Note: Ensure that the LINK switch is in the IN position when NOT

using external signal processing equipment, otherwise there
will be no output from the amplifier.

Tape Out 

(Rear Panel; #15)

The TAPE OUT jack provides a line-level output to feed a recording
device.  The output is not effected by the Master volume control or EQ,
however, the output is affected by the microphone inputs’ Lo-Cut filter.
