The Bogen CAM8 and CAM8PRO are 8-input, dual-bus MIC/Line mixers that combine superb performance with a generous array
of simple-to-use features in a single rack space design. Both models feature 8 independently assignable inputs switchable
between MIC and Line. Each input has a trim control, a switchable low cut filter, and a Main/Auxiliary bus output selector.
Phantom Power is provided for condenser microphones. Solidly engineered, the Bogen CAM8 and CAM8PRO mixers will
provide many years of trouble-free operation.
The CAM8PRO also features a built-in Compressor/Limiter with adjustable Threshold and Ratio Controls, a Bar Graph Output
Meter that indicates input signal levels, and a headphone jack.

Phantom Power Switch
Main/Auxiliary Bus Selector (one per channel)
Allows an input to be routed to Main, AUX, both, or neither.
Main Output Volume Control Knob
Controls the output signal volume of the Main
bus. CAM8PRO Compressor/Limiter only works
on Main bus.
Auxiliary Output Volume Control Knob
Controls the output signal volume of the AUX bus
(and headphones for CAM8PRO).
Threshold Control
Sets signal level (-20 to +20VU; factory setting 0VU)
at which the Compressor/Limiter becomes active.
Headphone Jack
Ratio Control
Sets the amount of compression (0 to 100%; the factory
setting is 100%) of the signal above the threshold.
Compressor/Limiter
Switch & LED
Reduces clipping distortion at the
main output. The brighter the LED,
the more the signal is being
compressed.
LED Bar Graph Output Meter
Displays output level in dB, ranging
from -18 (green) to +12 (red).This
meter can be set to indicate average or
peak level of the Main or AUX bus.
Low Cut Switch (one per channel)
Helps eliminate low frequency noise.
