DESCRIPTION

The Bogen Model MX6OA is a 60-watt professional
quality, self-contained preamp-amplifier-mixer. It is
designed for use in theatres, radio stations, recording
studios, and quality public address installations.

The amplifier provides five microphone inputs,
four of which may be used with either high or low im-
pedance mikes. The fifth input will accommodate either
a high-impedance microphone or a magnetic phone/tape
head input. Input 6 will accommodate two high-level,
high-impedance auxiliary inputs, such as a ceramic
phono cartridge or tape recorder. A front panel control
permits fading between these inputs. All six inputs may
be mixed and faded, and the volume of each may be
controlled individually or simultaneously with the mas!
ter volume control. There is a bridging input which ac-
cepts inputs from a high-levelsource with its own level
Control. The. bridging input may be mixed with the other
inputs, but it cannot be individually controlled at the
amplifier.

Each of the five microphone input channels is
equipped with a music-speech filter switch, which may

be set to provide a fixed, low-frequency attenuation for
the particular input. This selective filtering helps to
overcome poor room acoustics and increases speech
intelligibility by improving individual microphone re-
sponse.

All input channels, except the bridging input, may
be provided with remote volume control or microphone
precedence control. This is accomplished by using
Bogen accessories SR-Z, SR-4 and RVC-Z remote vol~
ume controls and the LVP-l limiter.

In addition to standard 4, 8 and 16-ohm output
speaker taps, constant voltage balanced 25~-volt and
70-volt lines are available at the output to simplify
line matching. The output may also be fed to a tele»
phone line by connecting the WMT~l as a bridging ac-
cessory across the 25-volt line.

The MXGOA amplifier may be paralleled with an»
other MX60A amplifier to double the number of input.
