FEATURES

Output Topology

for the utmost in musicality and definitive

power output. Soundstream’s uniqe design allows the Class A amplifiers to

deliver

uncomparable

sonics

or, when operated at lower impedances, to

provide phenomenal amounts of power.

Uncompromising Design

and

Construction including mil-spec glass epoxy

circuit boards and high current custom gold-plated solid brass connections

accept up to 4 gauge power/ground wire. Use of 1% metal film capacitors in

the circuit path and ultra-tight tolerance components ensure unsurpassed

maximum musicality.

High Power/High Current Capability

Soundstream’s exclusive circuit which

permits customization of your amplifier to its particular application-high

current, low impedance loads (multiple subwoofers, less than 1 ohm mono) or

High Power, higher impedance loads (1 ohm mono and up).

Coherent

Stereo?rltixed

Mono selection for either “pure” stereo operation or

mixed mono for simultaneous stereo and mono.

ChassisinkTM

Darlington Power Array -Soundstream’s “overbuilding” of the

output section incorporates multiple output transistors instead of a few for

faster, stronger power delivery. The transistors are sandwiched between the

circuit board and the heatsink in a design called Chassisink” to ensure cool,

efficient

amplifier operation.

PowerGrid

Power Supply Design -All power supply components are located

near one another, connected by thick, wide PCB traces, which ensures rapid,

high current delivery. The entire power supply is isolated on one side of the

circuit board while the audio stage is located opposite it, guaranteeing minimal

noise.

l Ultra-Low ESR Capacitance Bank -Multiple small input power capacitors are

used to provide a lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), which means

more power in and out faster.

l Smart Thermal Rollback -Most amplifiers shut off when they get too hot.

the unlikely event the REFERENCE amplifier reaches 85” C, it will gradually

roll back its average power (without affecting the dynamics). Once the

amplifier has cooled off, it returns to full power output. If overheating should

continue, a second thermal sensing protection circuit will shut off the amplifier

if the heatsink reaches 95” C.

l Unregulated Power Supply

4 ohm power ratings are measured at 12 volts,

meaning substantially greater output in the real world when the vehicle is

running, where voltages range from- 13.2 to 14.4 volts. In addition, the

amplifier will perform with as little as 9 volts and as much as 15 volts.

l Fault Monitor LED on the front panel notifies you of blown power supply

fuses.

l/4

ohm Drive Ability

The REFERENCE Class A amplifiers are designed to

drive virtually any load-all the way down to

114 ohm stereo (112 ohm mono).

l Dual Discrete Class A Drive Stages

Over six times the drive current of most

amps, which maintains performance into low impedance loads.

l Drive

DelayTM

Muted Turn-on/off Circuit -A unique circuit which completely

eliminates any amplifier-related turn-on/off noises.

l Flexible Input Sensitivity accepts voltages from 100

to 2.5 V, permitting

maximum output from the amplifier with virtually any source unit.

l Balanced Input Design for added immunity to noise caused by component

and vehicle electrical system interaction.

LSE.Q

(Class A 6.0) fully adjustable subwoofer equalization circuit providing

frequency and

IeveP’Q”

adjustment for optimum subwoofer performance. An

adjustable subsonic filter protects woofers from damaging low frequency

information and maximizes output in a usable range.

REFERENCE POWER SUPPLY DESIGN

The REFERENCE Class A amplifiers employ an extremely efficient unregulated

pulse-width modulated power supply. REFERENCE Class A amplifiers from

Soundstream are rated at 12 volts but are designed to take advantage of the

additional voltage available when the vehicle is running. The two major

advantages of the unregulated power supply are:

l awesome dynamic power capabilities

l added continuous power with higher voltages (see chart below)

Because of the dynamic properties of most music, all audio components should

be able to react accordingly. Thanks to their unregulated power supplies, the

REFERENCE Class A amplifiers can comfortably exceed their rated power for

dynamic portions of the music.

LSE.Q THEORY AND USE

LSE.Q

a unique subwoofer

control circuit included with the

SOUNDSTREAM REFERENCE

Class A 6.0 amplifier. It is capable of

removing

subsonic

energy

program material. The circuit

consists of two controls. One adjusts

the frequency of operation and the

other adjusts the range of boost.

With both controls adjusted fully

counter-clockwise, no boost is

applied and the amplifier is flat in

response down to 20 Hz.

The frequency control (Hz) adjusts

the starting point of the subsonic

filter. This high pass filter can be

adjusted from 20 Hz up to a

maximum of 60 Hz. This control is

useful for setting the lowest

frequency that your subwoofer will

see. (See figure 1)

The simple act of removing the signal

below the vented tuning frequency can

improve system output by as much as
