Rear Panel (All Models)

1.    Amplifier Output - Terminal strip containing all the Gold Seal speaker outputs.

2.    WMT1A - RCA connection for (Bogen model WMT1A) 600-ohm balanced line-matching transformer output.

3.    TO PWR AMP - RCA connection provides a low impedance, unbalanced signal level output as a feed to high

impedance inputs of other external amplifiers.

4.     VAR MUTE - 4 Switch selectable levels of AUX input signal muting during TEL page (works only in the TEL input mode).

5.    LO CUT FILTER - Enables or disables low frequency roll off (65 Hz) for all microphone inputs.

6.    MIC 6/AUX 1 - Switch selects either MIC 6 or AUX 1 connections as input.

7.    MIC 6 - Screw terminals for balanced microphone (active only when AUX 1/MIC 6 switch is set to MIC 6).

8.    MIC 5/TEL - Dual-function screw terminals for either balanced microphone or 600-ohm balanced input from

telephone page port.

9.    MIC 5/TEL - Switch selects mode of operation for MIC 5/TEL input.

10.  REMOTE MSTR - Screw terminal pair for connection of remote master volume control (Bogen model GSRVC).

11.   MIC/AUX/TEL PRECEDENCE - Screw terminal connections that allow externally controlled muting of individual inputs.

12.  POWER IN - RCA unbalanced direct input to power amp stage for connection to external signal processing

equipment (used in conjunction with PRE OUT and LINK switch).

13.  PRE OUT - RCA unbalanced output from preamp/mixer stage for connection to external signal processing

equipment (used in conjunction with POWER IN and LINK switch).

14.  LINK - Switch that makes or breaks the internal connection between preamp/mixer stage and power amp stage

when used with external signal processing equipment.

15.  TAPE OUT - RCA unbalanced output, pre-EQ and master volume. (Post Lo-Cut filter, see #5).

16.  AE - Variable control for adjusting the amount of Audio Enhancement effect.

17.  ALC - Variable control adjusts amount of Automatic Level Control applied to TEL input (works only in TEL input mode).

18.  VOX - Variable control adjusts TEL input signal level trigger point for automatic muting of AUX input

(works only in TEL input mode).

19.  AUX 2 - RCA unbalanced input for dedicated AUX 2 input.

20.  AUX 1 - RCA unbalanced input for AUX 1 input signal (works only when AUX 1/MIC 6 switch is set to AUX 1).

21.  MIC 1 to 4 - Balanced XLR connectors for dedicated microphone inputs.

22.  PHANTOM (MIC 1 to 4) - Individual switches enable or disable phantom power to each of the 4 dedicated

microphone inputs (MIC 5 and MIC 6 phantom power selection — see page 5).
