Gold Seal Series Amplifiers
Models GS-35, GS-60, GS-100, GS-150, GS-250
The Bogen Gold Seal Series amplifiers are an extraordinary addition to Bogen's line of quality audio amplifiers. Designed
with the sound contractor in mind, they provide unparalleled flexibility and versatility, without the need for expensive add-
on modules.
Unlike other typical amplifier lines, the professional sound contractor need not purchase a higher-powered amplifier just to
get more extensive features or flexibility. Each of the Gold Seal Series amplifiers — 250W, 150W, 100W, 60W and 35 W
models — incorporate the exact same set of features.
In addition to its extensive input flexibility, the Gold Seal Series amplifiers offer a combination of features not found in any
other commercial amplifier.
