Paging on BCM

[RossV]

I was wondering if someone could recommend a brand and model of paging equipment for a single zone of paging with about 20 speakers. It will need to connect to a BCM400. Also what is the paging output resistance and specs on the paging port? Thanks in advance.

Bogen is what we're almost always installing. 1 x 100 watt Bogen amp with 20 speakers set to 5 watts will work good. For the specs of the bcm output, read it in the Installation and Maintenance Guide directly from your bcm.

I agree. I always use the bogen tpu series amplifiers.

If any of your work has to be inspected by any type of local or state inspecting agency, make sure you do NOT use bogen, as they are not UL listed and approved.

I learned that the very hard and expensive way.

Bogen tpu amps are UL listed.

This is a Signature and not part of the answer, it appears on every reply.

This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.

Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.
