Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a TEC-
AMP PUMA Combo 212 classic. This manual will help
you get to learn all the useful and exciting features of
one of the best combo amplifiers in the world.
The new PUMA combos are equipped with our latest
design of ceramic bass speakers, a 2 x 12” model with
a power rating of 600 watts, in the PUMA 212 combo.
The latest generation of our ceramic loudspeakers
boasts a plethora of innovative details which make our
cabinets and combo amps so unique. The demanding
requests of our professional users and the close relati-
onship between our in-house Research and Development
team and our experienced suppliers form the keys to our
superior technology.
Thanks to the latest measuring and analysis systems our
loudspeakers meet the highest technical specifications
and take up a leading place in professional loudspeaker
manufacturing. We put extra effort in our loudspeakers
reaching maximum power rating while at the same time
strongly reducing power compression and distortion. As
a result our speakers don’t fade away or sound weak
and broken up at high output levels, rather they maintain
their dynamic response and keep delivering a considera-
ble increase in sound pressure level.
The combos also feature the new NTM-2 middle-high
cone speaker. Working in a sealed enclosure it impresses
with a low roll-off frequency and a very flat frequency
response, thus delivering a smooth top end far beyond
10 kHz at astounding sound pressure levels. All combo
amps sport an additional Speakon combo output for ope-
rating an external speaker cabinet.
