    Why is the FAULT LED flashing on my Bogen PS240?
    • S
      Sara BookerAug 18, 2025
      The FAULT LED on your Bogen Amplifier may flash due to several reasons: * Over-current, often from speaker impedance below 8 ohms due to wiring issues. * High-temperature, ensure the amplifier's vents are unblocked. * DC voltage on the outputs: turn the power off for five seconds, then back on. * High-frequency protection: the amplifier automatically resets after muting the outputs.

      Todd SotoAug 21, 2025
      If you're not getting any telephone output from your Bogen Amplifier, ensure that the MIC 5/TEL switch is in the TEL position. Also, verify that the VOX control is properly set. When connecting the telephone Tip & Ring, be sure to use the two outside terminals and not the center terminal (GND).

    Why won't the AUX input mute with telephone page on my Bogen Amplifier?

      Luis WrightAug 25, 2025
      If the AUX input on your Bogen Amplifier isn't muting during a telephone page, check that the VAR MUTE control is not set to 4 (0 dB). This control adjusts the level of the background music when making a page.

      If the telephone input is cutting off the music on your Bogen Amplifier when you're not making a page, try adjusting the VOX control on the rear panel. This will help eliminate any unwanted noise that may be triggering the VAR MUTE circuit.

    Why is the telephone input choppy or cutting off the beginning of a page on my Bogen PS240 Amplifier?
    • C
      Corey KaiserAug 30, 2025
      If the telephone input on your Bogen Amplifier is choppy or cuts off the beginning of a page, adjust the VOX control counterclockwise. This adjustment will cause the trigger to activate at a lower input signal level.

    Why does my microphone squeal or hum when using 3-pin connectors on my Bogen PS240 Amplifier?
    • K
      Kimberly BowersSep 5, 2025
      If your microphone squeals or hums when using the 3-pin connectors on your Bogen Amplifier, but not when using screw terminals, check your wiring connections for the 3-pin connector. Pin 1 is the shield connection, and Pins 2 and 3 connect to the balanced signal leads on the mic cable.

    • J
      Jose HarperSep 8, 2025
      If your condenser microphone is not working with your Bogen Amplifier, ensure that the phantom power switch (MIC 1 - 4) is turned on.

    Why is AUX 1 input not working on my Bogen PS240?
    • J
      Jamie RobbinsSep 12, 2025
      If the AUX 1 input is not working on your Bogen Amplifier, first, make sure the MIC 6/AUX 1 switch is in the AUX 1 position. Second, ensure that the signal source is correctly plugged into the AUX 1 RCA jack.
