I.
Power
LED (Top
of
unit
-
Not
Shown)
- This Blue
LED
illuminates
when
the
unit
is
turned
on.
2.
Thermal
LED (Top
of
unit
-
Not
Shown)
- This Red
LED
illuminates
if
the
amplifier internal
components
become
too
hot
and engage
the
thermal
protection.
The
amplifier
will
shut
down
to
cool
if
this occurs.
3.
Protect
LED (Top
of
unit
-
Not
Shown)
- This Yellow
LED
illuminates
if
a
short
circuit
or
too
low
of
an impedance
is
detected
at
the
speaker
connections.
The
amplifier
will
automatically
shut
down
if
this occurs.
4.
Cast
Aluminum
Heatsink
-
The
cast
aluminum heatsink
of
the
Punch amplifier dissipates
heat
generated
by
the
amplifier's circuitry.
5.
SpeakerTerminals
-
The
heavy duty, nickel-plated clamp
wire
connectors
(+ and
-)
will
accept
wire
sizes from
8AWG
to
18AWG.
6.
Remote
Punch
EQ
(Optional
Controller)
-
The
Remote
Punch EQ
connection
is
made
with a RJ-45
cable and can
be
installed
in
a variety
of
ways
for
easy
control
access.
The
control
is
used
to
boost
low
and/or
high frequency information
to
overcome
road noise.
The
remote
overrides
the
Punch EQ
on
the
amplifier
when
connected.
NOTE:
Previous
(prior
to
2007) Punch Bass
and
Para-Punch
remotes
will
not
work
with
these
amplifiers.
7.
Punch
EQ
(P300-1
Only)
- A
Gyrator
based Punch EQ
that
eliminates frequency shift with
boost.
This
works
along with
the
crossover
switch
on
the
amplifier.
When
set
to
Low-Pass
(LP)
operation,
this
is
a
variable Bass
Boost
(P I000-1 bd).
When
set
to
High-Pass (HP)
operation,
this
is
a variable Mid-Bass and
Treble Boost.
When
set
to
All
Pass (AP)
operation,
both
the
Bass and Treble frequencies
are
boosted.
7.
Punch
EQ
(P
I000-1
bd
Only)
- This
control
is
a
narrow
band
adjustment
variable from
OdB
to
+ 18dB
@
45Hz
with a
Gyrator
based Punch EQ
that
eliminates frequency shift with
boost.
8.
Crossover
Switch
(P300-1
Only)
- Selectable switch
for
High-Pass (HP),AII Pass (AP),
or
Low-Pass
(LP)
operation.
9.
Variable
Crossover
(P300-1
Only)
-
Is
a built-in 12dB/octave
Butterworth
filter
with
a
crossover
point
variable
from
50Hz
to
500Hz.
9.
Variable
Crossover
(P
I000-1
bd
Only)
-
Is
a built-in 12dB/octave
Butterworth
filter
with
a
crossover
point
variable
from
35Hz
to
250Hz.
The
crossover
is
set
to
Low-Pass (LP).
10.
Gain
Control
-
The
input gain
control
is
preset
to
match
the
output
of
most
source
units. It can
be
adjusted
to
match
output
levels from a variety
of
source
units.

I.
RCA
Input
Jacks -
The
industry
standard
RCA jacks provide an easy
connection
for
signal level input.
They
are
nickel-plated
to
resist
the
signal degradation caused by
corrosion.
