1. Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the Punch
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.
2. Speaker Terminals – The heavy duty, gold-plated terminal block con-
nectors (+ and –) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG. These
gold-plated connectors are immune to corrosion that can cause signal
deterioration.
3. B+ and GND Terminals – The heavy duty, gold-plated terminal block
connectors (B+ and GND) will accept wire sizes from 4 AWG to 12
AWG. These gold-plated connectors are immune to corrosion that can
cause signal deterioration.
4. REM Terminal – This spade terminal is used to remotely turn-on and
turn-off the amplifier when +12V DC is applied.
5. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy
connection for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the sig-
nal degradation caused by corrosion.
