PERATING
The Punch 2-channel amplifiers offer unmatched quality and reliabil-
ity in high performancesound systems. The Punch amplifiers are built
using integrated Discrete Surface Mount (DSM) technology. All
components are mounted directly on the main circuit board. This
shortens the signal path resulting in improved sound quality and
reliability. Features include:
Input level Controls

may be adjusted to allow precise matching with a wide range of
sources.

calibrated equalizer controls which are designed to correct for
frequency response problems found in most automobile interiors.
