Thanks Michael. I'm bringing a lot of spare parts to the job with me
today and I'll let you know how it all works out. Best regards, Lenny.

extras in my truck.


Michael
I used two 10K resistors off the secondary of a 70.7V transformer. I
felt that this would maintain a balanced line input to my amp. The
primary was tied to the incoming 70V line and was tapped at 4W. The
only balanced line inputs to the amp were mic 1 and mic 2. With the
10K resistors in series the level into the balanced mic input of the
amp was perfect. The amplifier was a Bogen 60W unit. We added two more
speakers to the system for a total of 4 all tapped at 4W. This is a
commercial kitchen with the unbelievable noise level of a subway
tunnel. Now they'll have no trouble hearing the pages. Thanks again
for the advice. Another fire put out. Best regards, Lenny.


* *You're welcome. *If that was a typical Bogen amp, the inputs are
transformer isolated 150 or 600 ohm impedance.

* *Try putting in a system in a corrugated box plant sometime if you
want noise! ;-) *35 watts covered the whole plant, except near the
corrugators, and each had their own 100 watt amp, with PA horns six feet
away from each operator.

This is an interesting group
I just had an impedance issue i got help with on a project that I am
working on, in summary
I used CO sensors in a parking garage the rating on the comunication
bus is 2000ft, When I designed the project during estimation I took a
risk to strech to 3000 based on the probability that the voltage drop
would not migatate me. Anyhow to make a very long story short, it
turned out between my low volatge sub and my inherient nature for
taking small calculated risks, the com was 3500 ft, I tried to figure
out the best end of the line terminator , going back to the impedance
matching topic that sparked my interest, after calling some experts, I
got the matched impedance, but still need to and another 50VA
transformer.... lesson learned on my part

Thanks for sharing
