Page 5: Introduction & Installation
The CAM2 operates from a 120V AC, 60 Hz source. It may be mounted in a standard 19" equipment rack using a Bogen Model RPK35B rack mounting kit or in a wall with a Bogen Model WMK1 in-wall mounting kit. -

6. Auxiliary Input (AUX In) - A dedicated unbalanced auxiliary input for tuner, tape deck, CD player, etc. 7. MIC Inputs - Balanced MIC level XLR inputs. 8. Phantom Power - The CAM2 provides power for electret condenser microphones.The Phantom ON/OFF switch controls the applications of DC voltage to each MIC input. -
Page 7: Input Connections
Microphone Inputs Microphones are connected to the CAM2 using the MIC1 through MIC 4 connectors. The CAM2 uses male XLR type connectors for making connections to its inputs. Microphones typically accept female XLR connectors. Cables with male and female XLR connectors already attached are commonly available at retail stores or through Bogen. -
Page 8: Input Connections
Input Connections Microphone Cable Wiring 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). -
Page 9: Output Connections
It is sometimes necessary to feed the CAM2 output to the microphone input of anoth- er piece of equipment. However, the signal level of the CAM2’s output must be at a volt- age level compatible with microphone inputs. Microphone inputs require much smaller signal voltages than the inputs of other equipment.To accommodate this requirement, the... -
Page 10: Line Out
Output Connections LINE OUT 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. -
Page 11: Bridging Mixers
Bridging connectors provide access to the internal mix bus of each CAM2. When bridged together, the output of any of the CAM2 units can be used as the output to other equipment because the same output signal is present on each unit’s output. -
Page 12: Operation
If the indicator is lighting frequently or constantly, it indicates that the input is being overdriven by too much input signal level.The input of the CAM2 can only accept signals up to a certain level. Once the input signal becomes larg- er than the handling capability of the input circuits, the circuitry will begin to distort the input signal. -
Page 13: Audio System Level
It is typically desirable to get as much signal level from the output of the CAM2 without making it so large that the output circuit cannot maintain the signal level and begins to distort the signal. -
