Intr oduction Bogen's M-Class amplifiers deliv er on what pr ofessional sound installers need most: Flexibility , Pow er , and Reliability . Flexibility The M-Class allows for the installation of up to 2 input modules, accepting inputs from micr ophones, telephone systems, stereo sour ces, mono sources, or daisy-chaining of amplifiers. Each M-[...]

P anel Descriptions M-Class Fr ont P anel 1 . Status Indicators The Status LED is a multi-purpose indicator that lights in thr ee colors to show status. One for each channel. • Green - Amplifier is on and operating normall y . • Amber - Amplifier is in low-pow er consumption Sleep Mode . • Red - Amplifier has protected itself due to a fault c[...]

Installation Installation Components 1 . Rack Ears Prior to installing the amplifier , you will need to attach the installation rack ears if you intend to install the ampli- fier in a rack and complete the setup pr ocess. Remov e the 6 front most cov er screws on each side panel of the amplifier and attach rack ears as sho wn. 2. Dust Filter Insert[...]

Installation V entilation The M-Class was designed to be placed on a table or rack-mounted. When rack mounted, the amplifiers can be stack ed one on top of the other for maximum use of the rack. An open air space of at least 4" must be pr ovided at the front air intak es of the amplifier , and the rear exhaust must ha ve at least a 4" gap[...]

Installation Module Installation Installation T wo input module ba ys are a vailable to accept various Bogen input modules thereby allowing users to customize the amplifier to suit the needs of the installation. Read the instructions included with the module and mak e the desired jumper setting changes bef ore installing the module. The sleep switc[...]

Connections Speakers Lo w-Impedance Speaker Connections When the amplifier is set to either the ster eo mode or the Dual Mono mode (see Operation section), low-impedance speak ers can be connected to either the "A" or "B" speak er output terminals. The amplifier is designed to w ork into speaker load impedances as low as 3.2 ohm[...]

Operation Contr ols & Connector s Le vel Controls The front-mounted le vel contr ols act differently depending on the mode of operation. In the stereo mode, each lev el control determines the volume of the cor responding amplifier channel as in a typical amplifier . In the 70V Mono and Dual Mono modes, the controls ha ve a differ ent function a[...]

Operation Effects Loop The effects loop connectors act as an insertion point for outboard signal pr ocessing equipment when the M-Class is operating in either the 70V Mono or Dual Mono modes. In these modes, the inputs and front panel contr ols form a 2: 1 mix er . Connect the Effects Loop Out to the input of the external signal pr ocessing equipme[...]

Operation 70V Mono Mode Placing the 3-position switch to its right most position puts the amplifier in the 70V Mono mode of operation. The amplifier supplies a single channel of amplification in this mode (see 70V Mono Mode Block Diagram ). This mode also mix es the signals from each input module into a mono pr o- gram. Input signals of modules tha[...]

Operation Modules Standard Input Module The M-Class is shipped with one input module pre-installed. The module pr o- vides 2 high-impedance, balanced, low- noise inputs, but can be r eplaced by other modules if desired. The input’ s connectors, labeled A & B, correspond to the similarly mark ed rear speak er connections and front panel contr [...]
