Bogen Introduces New Class-D Public Address Amplifiers

	Bogen Gold Seal Series 150W and 250W Class-D amplifiers

Bogen Communications, Inc., introduces a new series of Class-D amplifiers beginning with 150W and 250W models. Bogen's Gold Seal Series has been enhanced with Class-D amplifiers, which were designed to offer installers a highly efficient, environmentally friendly, light-weight public address amplifier in a choice of wattage levels. The amplifiers are available initially in 150W and 250W models, each with exactly the same features to provide power and performance no matter how large or small the application. Models with other power levels are planned for introduction in the first half of 2016.

The GS150D and GS250D models include a newly developed Class-D amplifier which enables less heat dissipation than previous Gold Seal Series models, saving cooling costs. They are up to 50% more efficient than previous models while offering ultra-high reliability and professional performance, including an upgraded contemporary set of screw terminal connections. The use of Class-D amplifiers also enables very low thermal emissions of 239.1 BTU/hour for the GS250D and 136.6 BTU/hour for the GS150D.

The Bogen Gold Seal Series Class-D amplifiers are an addition to Bogen's line of audio amplifiers. With the incorporation of the Class-D amplifier, the GS250D (at 320W of power consumption and weighing just 19.5lb) is 42% more efficient and 55% lighter than previous 250W models, while the GS150D (at 190W of power consumption and weighing in at 18.5lb) is 50% more efficient and 65% lighter than previous 150W models. Another benefit for rack installations is that the GS250D and GS150D have the same chassis dimensions as Bogen's previous GS250 model. (GS150D chassis height and width are the same as GS150, while the length is 1.5" longer.)

Designed with the sound contractor in mind, the Gold Seal Series Class-D amplifier models provide flexibility and versatility, without the need for add-on modules. In addition to extensive flexibility, they provide a unique combination of features offering convenience and flexibility, including:
• Convenient, two-piece pluggable Euro block-type connectors enable signal cables to be more quickly connected/disconnected from the amp
• Four dedicated MIC inputs
• One selectable MIC/TEL input
• One selectable MIC/AUX input
• One dedicated AUX input
• 4-ohm, 8-ohm, 25V, 25VCT, and 70V transformer-coupled outputs

The Gold Seal Series Class-D amplifiers are listed to UL standard 60065 for the USA and Canada.
