of “CHANNEL A” (#29) and “CHANNEL B” (#28) are not
being used.
In MONO BRIDGE MODE the two internal power amps
are combined to produce 1000 watts of continuous out-
put power at a minimum load of 8 ohms. Be absolutely
certain that the speaker cabinet(s) connected is (are)
able to handle the extremely high output power of the
amp. All TECAMP cabinets featuring at least 4 speakers
will do the job easily (e.g. L410-8, XL412-8, L610-8, etc.).
When you use a speaker cabinet with a lower power
handling capacity do make sure that you operate the
amp at moderate levels only, i.e. don’t turn up the
“MASTER” control (#15) too far.
Whatever your setup is, always make sure that
the speaker cables are as long as necessary but as short
as possible, using heavy gauge cable (we recommend at
least 2 x 2.5 mm2). Do stick to speaker cables with
Speakon
®
connectors only, either NL2FC (two pin con-
nector) or NL4FC (four pin connector). The wiring of the
pins is as follows: 1+ = hot, 1- = ground.
High quality TECAMP speaker cables can be obtained as
an option.
28 Speaker – CHANNEL B
PUMA 1000 is equipped with two power amps, CHAN-
NEL A and CHANNEL B, which can be used simultane-
ously, each of them delivering 500 watts continuous out-
put power at a minimum load of 4 ohms. Each power
amp features one Neutrik Speakon
®
connector. If you
want to connect more than one speaker cabinet to the
SPEAKON
®
outputs you have to daisy chain one cabinet
with the next. Just make sure that the
minimum load
of each power amp is no less than 4 ohms
.
CHANNEL A works exactly the same way as CHANNEL B.
Thus, in total, you could connect two cabinets with an
impedance of 4 ohms each or four cabinets with an impe-
dance of 8 ohms each to the PUMA 1000 simultaneously.
28a VOLUME
Both power amp channels have got their own “VOLUME”
control (#28a and #29a). They allow you to set individual
output levels for the cabinets connected thus leaving you
with a couple of interesting options. Do make sure that
the “BRIDGE ON / OFF” switch (#27a) is in the “OFF” posi-
tion – otherwise these “VOLUME” controls are not active.
28b SUB ON / OFF
“CHANNEL B” features a unique “SUB BOOST” filter doing
two different things simultaneously: When this switch is
depressed a low pass filter cuts all frequencies above 200
Hz. At the same time there is a level boost of 12 dB.
This switch makes your PUMA 1000 the ideal amp for the
use with a TECAMP PLEASURE BOARD together with a
“normal” cabinet. Connect the Pleasure Board to “CHAN-
NEL B” (#28) with the “SUB BOOST” function depressed
and a “normal” speaker cabinet to “CHANNEL A” (#29)
while balancing the output levels accordingly.
29 Speaker – CHANNEL A
CHANNEL A works exactly the same way as CHANNEL
B with the exception of not offering the “SUB” filter.
Thus you can connect one or two speakers (by daisy
chaining them) with a total impedance of 4 ohms. The
output power rating is 500 watts. CHANNEL A and
CHANNEL B can be operated simultaneously.
29a VOLUME
“CHANNEL A”, just like CHANNEL B, features its own
“VOLUME” control. It allows you to adjust individual out-
put levels for both channels and thus the cabinets con-
nected. Do make sure that the “BRIDGE ON / OFF”
switch (#27a) is in the “OFF” position – otherwise this
“VOLUME” control is not active.
30 RACK MOUNTING
The two included rack ears allow you to install your
PUMA 1000 in a standard 19” rack, if desired. It will
occupy two rack units. Each rack ear (there is a left and
a right version) is fixed to the chassis using the three
screws on either side which come included with the unit
(when shipped the screws are fixed to the amp). Uns-
crew them, hold the rack ears in place and fix them tight-
ly with the three screws respectively.
