THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING BLAUPUNKT!

Congratulations! You are the now the owner of an exceptional car audio amplifier from the audio enthusiasts at Blaupunkt. Our engineering staff has spent considerable time refining our PCA series amplifiers in order to introduce great sound to the consumer at an affordable price. With these products we focus on sonic performance but balanced with rugged design and flexible installation.

Not only do we offer you a great product but also a supportive owners manual. This manual can be used as a teaching guide due to its brief, but informative, explanations of amplifier and system design. We are also very concerned about the end consumer using proper installation techniques for the highest performance possible from their new audio products. MOST important to us are the concerns with safety and the installation process. Since our Blaupunkt retail dealers have the tools and experience for an optimized and safe installation, we always recommend they do the final vehicle integration. But, should you choose to install these products yourself, please take the time to read this manual completely and abide by all precautions.

PCA AMPLIFIER BENEFITS & FEATURES

There is a constant push for entry level amps to “play with the big dogs” yet for a low price point. Rarely are they able to do so…. until now.

Rock solid Class AB designs ensure “in your face” sound with little fear for reliability or performance. The rugged designs of the PCA

amp line, and their remarkable input frequency and gain setting flexibility, enable nearly any system configuration. Fat power and speaker leads make sure all that power going in comes out the best sound possible.

Should something go wrong in the installation, have no fear. Protection for output short circuits and short to grounds or 12 volts are all covered and a safety “Protect” light lets you know. Peace of mind, and big power, at low price points…look no further.

Real, RMS watts. No need for “bogus” watts. This is the real stuff in a great amp so there is no need to exaggerate - it does what it says.

Reinforced Class AB designs with reinforced output stages ensure solid performance and reliability.

Big heat sinks to ensure adequate heat dissipation regardless of the load (they look cool too).

Monster size, gold plated power and speaker terminals for reliable, low resistance connections.

Protection LED for notification should the unit shut down due to installation problems.

Wide range input voltages of 0.3-6.0Vrms.

Continuously variable crossover frequency settings.

2 ohm output stable (unbridged mode)
