14 POWER RECEPTACLE
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the power recep-
tacle. Make sure the Euro plug is firmly inserted in the
socket. The other end of the cable should be connected
to any standard grounded AC outlet or into a power strip
of proper voltage. Before you plug in do make sure that
the voltage is correct (see #15)!
Just in case you lose the cord provided, the jack accepts
a standard 3-prong IEC cord like those found on most pro-
fessional gear and computers – you can get one at any
electronics, music or computer store.
Never (!) remove or otherwise attempt to defeat
the ground pin of the power cord in order to get rid
of a hum induced by a ground loop.
14a POWER FUSE
The PUMA is fused for your and its own protection. If
you suspect a blown fuse, disconnect the cord, pull out
the FUSE DRAWER (#14a, located just below the cord
receptacle) and replace the fuse with another suitable
fuse. There should be a spare fuse in the fuse drawer.
For 115 and 230 V units the fuse for the PUMA must be a
5 A (amps) SLO BLO 5 x 20 mm. When you’re in a country
with a standard of 115 volts set the “VOLTAGE SELEC-
TOR” (#15) accordingly.
If two fuses blow in a row, something is very wrong. Do
not open the unit. Refer service to qualified service per-
sonnel.
15 VOLTAGE SELECTOR
The PUMA features a “VOLTAGE SELECTOR” allowing you
to use your amplifier anywhere in the world just by the
flick of a switch. The unit is set to 230 V when we ship to
a country in Europe.
Should you wish to use your PUMA in the USA set the
“VOLTAGE SELECTOR” to “115 V”.
ATTENTION: Don’t forget to set it back to “230 V”
when you return home! TecAmp cannot be made
responsible for damages to the unit caused by im-
proper voltage selection. Therefore it is a good idea
to always check the “VOLTAGE SELECTOR” before
powering up the unit.
16 ExTERNAL SPEAKER OUT
PUMA sports one Neutrik Speakon
®
Combo NLJ2 MD-V
speaker output.
Just make sure that the minimum
load of the power amp is no less than 4 ohms.
Thus
you can connect one 8 ohms speaker.
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 re-
commend at least 2 x 2.5 mm
2
).
Do stick to speaker cables with Speakon
®
connec-
tors only, either NL2FC (two pin connector) or NL4FC
(four pin connector). No matter which plug you use
the “hot” wire must be connected to pin “1+” and
the “cold” wire to pin “1-“. This Speakon
®
Combo
socket is also able to handle a 1/4“ jack. High qua-
lity TECAMP speaker cables can be obtained as an
option.
17 INTERNAL SPEAKER ON/OFF
The internal speaker on/off switch allows a silent rehear-
sal with headphones. It is also possible to use an external
cabinet and thereby turn off the internal speaker. In this
case, the connected speaker has an impedance of at least
4 ohms. If the internal speakers of the Puma switches on,
the impedance of the connected cabinet must be at least
8 ohms.
18a PHONE OUT
This 3.5 mm stereo jack lets you connect your headpho-
nes. With the „MASTER“ volume (#9) you can control both
the level of your instrument and the level of the audio
source connected to the Aux In jack. It is possible to use
your PUMA without a cabinet, so you can just play in any
situation!
18b AUx IN
This 3.5mm stereo Aux In jack provides the possibility to
connect your mp3 player, your iphone or other external
audio sources. You can control its‘ level with the „MAS-
TER“ volume (#9) to blend it with your bass signal. Please
use the included 3.5mm stereo cable to connect the audio
source of your choice.
19 EFFECTS LOOP
return/LIne In, SenD
These two 1/4” jacks are the serial patch points for ex-
ternal signal processing effects.
19a RETURN/LINE IN
Connect the output of the (last) external device to the
“RETURN” jack. Always use high quality shielded instru-
ment cables for connecting to and from external devices.
Keep the cables as short as possible.
