INTRODUCTION

Rockford engineers designed the Punch 2-channel amplifiers to

withstand the rugged automotive environment while delivering

superior sound quality in a flexible, reliable, and efficient pack-

age.AgroundingtechniquecalledTOPAZwasusedtoeliminate

noiseproblemsassociatedwithcaraudiosystems,whileflexibil-

ROCKFORD FOSGATE ACCESSORIES

Thefollowingaccessorieswere designed to enhance the perfor-

mance of the Punch 2-channel amplifiers.

Energy Storage Capacitor

ThePunchcapacitorsareusedtoprovideextracurrentneededby

amplifiers to reproduce musical transients. The Punch Caps also

havethenaturalabilitytofilterACripplecausedbythealternator,

reducing the chance of noise in the system. The Punch Caps will

maximizeboththesoundqualityandperformancethatRockford

Fosgate amplifiers can deliver.

Punch Link (FG-LINK)

The Punch Link is a specially cast heatsink interconnect which

allows you to join any of our current Punch or Punch Power

amplifiers together. While providing additional cooling through

thecouplingprocess, the PunchLink adds thefinishing touch by

giving you the look of one awesome amplifier.

XCard

Additional crossover card frequencies are available for special-

ized requirements. You can get the following XCards from your

Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer.

XM50 = 50Hz XM275 = 275Hz

XM70 = 70Hz XM400 = 400Hz

XM100 = 100Hz XM4.5k = 4,500Hz

XM150 = 150Hz XM6.5k = 6,500Hz

XM200 = 200Hz XM00 = Blank card for

TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES

◆TOPAZ (Tracking Operation Pre-Amplifier Zone)

The

TOPAZ

(Tracking Operation Pre-Amplifier Zone) circuitry

solves ground loop noise problems common to automotive

amplifierdesign.Thisinnovativenewdevelopmentallowsvastly

improved isolation of the input signal grounds from the power

supplygroundoftheamplifier.Thisisaccomplishedbyallowing

the source unit to control the potential “environment” of the

entire input structure or “zone” of the amplifier. This process

improves the noise rejection of the amplifier by 30-40dB – an

astounding 30-100 times better than amplifiers without TOPAZ.

THE RESULT: Elimination of troublesome ground loop noise

between source and amplifier.

◆RTP (Real Time Protection)

NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced

Decision)

The Punch and Power amplifiers use an

analog computer

process

to maximize safe output power under all operating

conditions. Rockford Fosgate pioneered and developed

RTP

(Real Time Protection), a crucial element in the performance

edgeofouramplifiers.Theinnovative

NOMAD

(NOn-Multiply-

ingAdvancedDecision)systemisthemostsophisticatedversion

of this technique ever used, bringing previously unavailable

levels of accuracy, stability, temperature immunity and reliabil-

ity to this critical process. NOMAD makes advanced decisions

basedondevicevoltagestopreciselycontroltheawesomelevels

of current available in the output MOSFETs to safe values –but

only when absolutely needed.

THE RESULT: Extremely fast protection system that always

protects the amplifier and never degrades the sound.

◆DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) Technology

The

DSM

(Discrete Surface Mount) manufacturing process com-

binestheadvantagesofbothdiscretecomponentsandintegrated

circuitry.RockfordFosgateistheonlyAmericanamplifiermanu-

facturertohaveinvestedmillionsintothisprocess.DSMcompo-

nents differ from conventional discrete components in three

different ways. They are more compact, more rugged, and they

take much better advantage of the PC board to allow them to get

rid of any heat they generate. Using them wherever appropriate

allows the advantages associated with discrete circuitry to be

retained while also providing room for both highly advanced

processing features and generous PC board copper paths where

needed. Their short lead-out structures allow maximum audio

performance and highest signal-to-noise ratios to be obtained in

amplifiers of desirable package size without resorting to “ampli-

fier-on-a-chip”shortcuts. These advantages are shown below in

Figure 1.

THE RESULT: Fewer connections, improved reliability, shorter

signal paths, superior signal-to-noise ratio and awesome sonic

performance.

◆XCard (Internal Crossover)

The Punch and Power amplifiers utilize internal active crossovers.

Thesecrossovershavemanyperformanceadvantagessuchas using

discrete components for exact frequency adjustments which are far

superior to potentiometers. Additionally, the

XCard

can be config-

ured for high-pass, low-pass and full range operation. With slight

modifications,manycrossoverfrequenciesandslopeconfigurations

can be achieved.

THE RESULT: Increased system design flexibility with a precise

electronic crossover without the limitations of conventional poten-

tiometer designs.

◆MOSFET Devices

Rockford Fosgate is one of the few manufacturers in the sound

community to utilize MOSFET devices in both the

power supply

and the

output stages

MOSFET

(Metal Oxide Semiconductor

Field Effect Transistor) devices offer several important inherent

advantages over the 30 year old technology of bi-polar design.

These advantages include: thermal stability, switching speed,

ultra low output impedance and wider bandwidth linearity. In

addition, MOSFETs and vacuum tubes share many important

operatingcharacteristics. However, theMOSFET deviceis much

faster,widerinbandwidth,measurablylowerindistortionandfar

more linear than vacuum tubes.

THE RESULT: Operational characteristics of vacuum tubes

without the performance limitations of tube design.

DESIGN FEATURES

1. Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the

Punch amplifier dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's

circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30%

improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink

designs.

2. End Caps – Interchangeable end caps conceal the wiring and

input cables, giving the amplifier a clean “stealth”look.

3. SpeakerTerminals–Theheavyduty,gold-platedterminalblock

connectors (+ and –) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18

AWG. These gold-plated connectors are immune to corrosion

that can cause signal deterioration.

4. Power Terminals – The power and ground connectors on the

Punch amplifier are gold-plated and will accommodate up to 8

AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the

amplifier.

5. REM Terminal – This spade terminal is used for the AP (auto

power) or remote turn on of the Punch amplifier.
