DESIGN FEATURES 1 Power and Speaker Connection 423 4 5 67 768 9 10 10 11 1. LED Power Indicator – The LED illuminates when the unit is turned on. 2. REM Terminal – This spade terminal is used to remotely turn-on and turn-off the amplifier when +12V DC is applied. 3. Power Terminals – The power and ground connectors on the amplifier are gold-plated and will accommodate up to 4 AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier. 4. Speaker Terminals – The heavy duty, gold-plated terminal block connectors (+ and –) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG. These gold-plated connectors are immune to corrosion that can cause signal deterioration. 5. Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the Power amplifier dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs. 6. Variable Crossover – The amplifiers have a built-in 24dB/octave Butterworth filter selectable for High-Pass (HP), All Pass (AP), or Low-Pass (LP) operation variable from 50Hz to 250Hz. 7. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion. 8. Punch Bass – The Punch Bass control helps correct for acoustical deficiencies in the listening environment by helping produce full range sound without adding excessive boost.. The Punch Bass control is a narrow band adjustment at 45Hz variable from 0dB to + 18dB. Connection is made with a cable using RJ-45 and can be installed under the dash for remote control access. 9. Signal Input Switch – This switch allows the amplifier to be driven with either 2 or 4 pairs of inputs. 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. 11. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks – The Pass-Thru provides a con...
