ECHNICAL ESIGN EATURES TRANS•ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) The TRANS•ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage rails via a pair of driver transistors. - Page 7 The DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) manufacturing process combines the advantages of both discrete components and integrated circuitry. Rockford Fosgate is the only American amplifier manufacturer to have invested millions into this process. DSM components differ from conventional discrete components in three ways. They are more compact, more rugged, and they efficiently dissipate generated heat.

MOSFET Devices Rockford Fosgate is one of the few manufacturers in the sound community to utilize MOSFET devices in both the power supply and the output stages . MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) devices offer several important inherent advantages over the 30 year old technology of bi-polar design. -

ESIGN EATURES 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. End Caps – The unique end caps conceal the wiring and input cables, giving the amplifier a clean “stealth”... - Page 10 RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide easy connections for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion. Signal Input Switch – This switch allows selection of 2-channel or 4-channel source unit feed.

To maximize the performance of your Rockford Fosgate amplifier, we suggest the use of a heavy duty battery and an energy storage capacitor. I R I N G T H E... - Page 14 3. Punch 160. Trim the power cable to within 18" of the battery and install the protective rubber boot packed with the fuseholder over the end of the wire. Strip 3/8" of insulation from the wire and insert it into the end of the fuseholder, then crimp it in place.
- Page 15 6. Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by stripping 1/4" of insulation from the wire end and crimping an insulated spade connector in place. Slide the connector over the REM terminal on the amplifier. Connect the other end of the REM wire to a switched 12 volt positive source.

Page 18: Using The Xcard
S I N G T H E The crossover functions are controlled through the use of an XCard and can be set for high-pass, low-pass or full range operation. Each crossover card has two faces: one face operates Full Range, the other has arrows to indicate the edge for selecting HP (high-pass) or LP (low- pass) operation. -

ESISTOR HART Our tests have shown that using 0.047 f capacitors for frequencies below 100Hz, and 0.022 f capacitors for frequencies above 100Hz, result in more linear crossover control. Refer to the Specifications page to determine the capacitor value of each supplied XCard. -

Page 37: Dynamic Power Measurements
Many manufacturers, including Rockford Fosgate, at times will measure amplifier power into a fixed resistor (4 ohm, 2 ohm). While this method is useful in some types of evaluation and testing, it is not representative of an amplifier that is connected to a speaker and playing music. - Page 38 Information Cubed The data acquired in the testing procedure is then graphed in the form of a 3-dimensional cube. Hence the name PowerCube. The Phase Angle is expressed on the horizontal axis, the Output Voltage is presented on the vertical axis and the Impedance is displayed on the Z axis.
