Glossary

The following terms are used in this manual. Since they may be unfamiliar, the following definitions are provided.

AM II

Adaptive MOSFET II is an advanced protection circuit

 

designed to prevent amplifier shut-off due to low load imped-

 

ance. AM III optimizes output power to maintain uninterrupted

 

operation whenever the amplifier senses a load impedance of

 

less than two Ohms. An L. E. D. signals when AM II is working.

Mixed Mono:

PWM

Combining two amplifier channels into one channel, typically used to create a mono output.

The ratio of output voltage to input voltage. The gain control allows adjustment to the amplifier's output level for varying input levels.

Light Emitting Diode. Indicates power on / off and when AM II

is working.

Measurement of speaker(s) resistance / reactance that the

amplifier must drive.

The amplifier's ability to play the Left and Right Stereo channels while playing a third (bridged) mono channel.

Pulse-Width Modulated power supply. Our PWM maintains a regulated output voltage and a high conversion efficiency over the input supply range of 11 - 15 VDC. The result is less demand on the battery, lower (amplifier) operating temperature, and extremely accurate low frequency reproduction.

Internally Bridgeable

Mixed Stereo / Mono Operation

Output Short Circuit Protection

Differential Input Stage

Low Impedance Protection with Diagnostic L.E.D.

Adjustable Input Sensitivity

Gold RCA Input Connectors

PPI's Exclusive Wire Connection System

Liquid Cooling (Optional)

Amplifier Control Module Compatible (Optional ACM-420)

Three Year Limited Warranty

Remote Turn-On:

ACM

Low current automatic switching circuit that turns the amplifier on and off. Typically connected to the remote antenna or amp turn-on lead of most car radios, cassette, or CD players.

Amplifier Control Module. Our ACM-420 (optional) controls up to ten PPI amplifiers for synchronized system start and "noise gate" functions to inhibit background noise when no music signal is present
