Design Features

Power/Protect LED
Power LED illuminates blue when the unit is turned on. Protect
LED illuminates yellow if a short circuit or to low of an impedance
is detected at the speaker connections. Thermal LED illuminates
red when amplifier overheats. The amplifier will automatically shut
down if this occurs.

Input Level Knob
The input level control is used to match
the output of the audio source.
Subwoofer Input
Setting this switch to the "On" position, utilizes the
"Sub" inputs. (P1000X5)
Centering Indicators
Indicators are located on the bottom side of the
amplifier.

captive c-clamp wire connectors (+ and -)
will accommodate 8 AWG.
RCA Input/Pass-Thru
The RCA inputs are capable of accepting signal from either high-level(speaker) to low-
level(RCA). When utilizing high-level for input signal the auto turn-on feature is active.
The pass-thru RCA's are passive, including full input signal range and auto turn-on
functionality when active.
Crossover Switch
Selectable switch for High-Pass (HP) or
All Pass (AP) or Low-Pass (LP)
Variable Crossover
Is a built-in 12dB/octave Butterworth filter with
a crossover point variable from 50Hz to 250Hz.

Remote Punch Level Control - In/Out
Remotely control the output level of the amplifier. The
PLC-OUT is used to daisy-chain additional amplifiers
controlled by a single remote.
2/4 Channel Switch
Setting this switch to the 2CH. position, switches the
inputs to a 2-channel mode, allowing connection to
only the front inputs with a 4-channel output. (P400X4,
P600X4, P1000X5)
Punch EQ
A Gyrator based Punch EQ that eliminates frequency
shift with boost. This works along with the crossover
switch on the amplifier.
Infrasonic Filter
A fixed 28Hz 12dB/octave filter designed to prevent
frequencies below the audio range from being applied
to the subwoofer from the amplifier. Consequently
improving subwoofer performance and power han-
dling, particularly in vented enclosures. (P500X1BD,
P10001BD, P1000X5)
Remote Punch Level Switch
When activated, this allows the use of a optional re-
mote Punch Level Controller. (P500X1BD, P10001BD,
P1000X5)
REM GND B+
Power/REM Terminals
The power and ground will accommodate 4 AWG,
while the remote will accommodate 12 AWG.(The
REM terminal is used to remotely turn-on and
turn-off the amplifier when +12V DC is applied.)
