Bogen® BUFEX Buffer-Expander Volume Control, 24 VDC, 50 mA Current Consumption 8 Ohm Output Impedance, 0 to -50 dB Volume Control, 10 VDC Bypass Voltage, 0.8 mA Bypass Trip Current

The BUFEX is a continuously variable speaker attenuator that can remotely control the volume of a network of speakers. The BUFEX also provides output buffering for up to 150 self-amplified speaker inputs and allows speaker system expansion of existing 100V, 70V, or 25V central amplifier systems. The BUFEX includes a bypass function that can override the volume control knob setting when activated by a contact closure or open collector output. This allows emergency announcements to be heard through all speakers in a system even if the volume control knob setting is set low or off. A PCB-mounted bypass trim control adjusts the volume when in bypass mode with a maximum of 12 dB of attenuation. The BUFEX fits into a single gang electrical box.
