Audio System Level Setting System Levels In audio systems that employ separate mixers and amplifiers, there are quite a few controls that affect the volume of a signal. Knowing how to set these different volume controls is instrumental to proper system operation. In general, the closer the control is to the signal source, the higher that control should be set. For example, an audio system contains a microphone, a CAM2, and a power amplifier.
Operation Introduction & Installation Power Introduction This switch applies power to the unit.The Switch Actuator will light to indicate power "ON" when connected to an AC power source. The Bogen Model CAM2 is a mixer/pre-amplifier that provides four MIC inputs and one AUX input while supplying both MIC and high level outputs. The CAM2 is particularly well-suited for expanding the number of inputs of Bogen public address amplifiers.
Bridging Mixers Panel Descriptions Bridging Connections Front Panel In certain applications, more than four microphones or a single AUX input is needed. In these cases a CAM2 can be connected to another CAM2 to increase the number of inputs available.The BRIDGING connectors are provided for this purpose.To combine two to four CAM2 units together, connect an RCA patch cord between either of the BRIDGING connectors on one unit to either of the BRIDGING connectors of the other unit.
Output Connections Input Connections LINE OUT Microphone Inputs Unbalanced inputs are also popular on many pieces of equipment that the CAM2 may feed. To make the connection as easy as possible, the CAM2 provides an unbalanced LINE OUT signal that is of the proper signal level to connect to most equipment. An RCA patch cord is used to make this connection and is commonly available at retail stores.
Input Connections Output Connections Microphone Cable Wiring BAL/OUT to Balanced Input of Other Equipment The CAM2 has female XLR connectors as its microphone inputs, these connectors have 3 pins and are designed to be connected to balanced, low-impedance microphones.These microphones require 3 connections and use a cable that has two insulated conductors and a shielding material that encases the conductors (the shield provides the third connection).
