The REFERENCE amplifier employs an extremely efficient 

power supply (patent pending). This power supply circuitry automatically

customizes your amplifier for optimum efficiency and power output into virtually
any impedance load. When other brand amplifiers are driven at low impedances

 1 ohm 

 

 they shut down, squash dynamics and power output (called

current limiting). or waste huge amounts of power 

 low efficiency). All of

which reduce the “real world” power the amplifier can produce in the car.

Soundstream’s 

 power supply allows the REFERENCE

amplifiers to be one of two types of amps: either producing maximum power at
higher impedances (perfect for satellites) or at lower impedances (usually with
multiple subwoofers). This is done by letting the amplifier’s power supply
continuously monitor the impedance of the load the amplifier is driving. If the
impedance drops too low, the power supply will automatically switch into 

mode. It will stay in this mode until the amplifier is turned off. The next

time it is powered up, it will be in the High 

mode.

Unlike other amplifiers, Soundstream’s REFERENCE amplifiers can be
configured to drive virtually any impedance and make maximum power! The
major advantages of this power supply are:

l 

awesome dynamic power capabilities

l 

added continuous power with higher voltages

l 

increased amplifier efficiency and reliability

Because of the dynamic properties of most music; all audio components should
be able to react accordingly. Thanks to their unique power supplies, the
REFERENCE amplifiers can comfortably exceed their rated power for dynamic
portions of the music.

The REFERENCE amplifier has the ability to operate in any one of the following
modes:

 with identical left and right stereo channels for

maximum fidelity. Best choice for satellite speakers. Use this mode unless
Mixed-Mono is 

in order to drive stereo and mono simultaneously; works well

for center channels. It can be used anytime you need a summed mono channel.

Somewhat sacrifices sonic accuracy as additional circuitry is introduced lo one

channel. In Mixed-Mono, 

 for dedicated single channel operation; ideal for driving

subwoofers. It is also used when large amounts of power are necessary for
single speakers. In
