13 POWER
At the risk of stating the obvious, this switch is used to
turn the PUMA on and off. Before you turn on the amp do
make sure that the “MUTE” switch (#10) is depressed.
Activating the POWER SWITCH (the top of the switch
must be depressed towards the amp chassis) will make
the blue line on the front panel (#13a) illuminate. The amp
is OFF when the bottom of the POWER SWITCH is de-
pressed – the blue line (#13a) will no longer illuminate.
Before you plug in do make sure that the voltage is
correct (see #15)!
14 POWER RECEPTACLE
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the power recepta-
cle. Make sure the IEC 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 professional 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 re-
ceptacle) and replace the fuse with another suitable fuse.
There should be a spare fuse in the fuse drawer.. When
you’re in a country with a standard of 115 volts set the
“VOLTAGE SELECTOR” (#15) accordingly.If two fuses blow
in a row, something is very wrong. Do not open the unit.
Refer service to qualified service personnel.
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.

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 two 8 ohms speakers or one 4 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 quality TE-
CAMP speaker cables can be obtained as an option.
The output power of the Puma amps is: 300 Watt @ 4
Ohms (Puma 300), 500 Watt a@ 4 Ohms (Puma 500), and
900 Watt @ 4 Ohms (Puma 900).
