What is an Amplifier?
An amplifier by definition is a voltage generating device, recreating the signal which is input to it identically but with increased volume. It will be connected to a reactive load (the speaker). The impedance of this load and phase of the signal passing through the load will vary, dependent upon the frequency of the input signal (music).
Therefore, a perfect amplifier will be able to maintain the same output voltage regardless of load characteristics and will not alter the signal it is reproducing. A perfect amplifier when measured by the AudioGraph PowerCube would present data that forms a perfect cube. Unfortu- nately, amplifiers are not perfect. The laws of physics generally prevent it. A great amplifier is about the best one can hope to attain.
As you can see by the PowerCube and as you will experience by listening, your Punch amplifier is a GREAT AMPLIFIER!
