Information Cubed
The data acquired in the testing procedure is then graphed in the form of a
3-dimensional cube, hence the name PowerCube.

The
Phase Angle
is expressed on the horizontal axis, the
Output Voltage
is
presented on the vertical axis and the
Impedance
is displayed on the Z axis.
Output Power,
in watts, is listed on the left hand side for each impedance at
each phase angle.
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).

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 Audio Graph PowerCube would
present data that forms a perfect cube. Unfortunately, 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!
