4 Ultra Low-Impedance Output Capablility: The RUBICONI 0.2 and 5.2 are designed for optimal performance into loads as low as l/2 or l/4 ohm stereo (1 or I/2 ohm mono). 4 RUBITM(_Rapid-&e Banched _/mpulse) This new proprietary power supply topology eliminates “power sags” during low frequency reproduction by rapidly increasing the duty cycle, stabilizing the power supply and allowing it to deliver the power required when reproducing low frequencies.
Hawkins Bass Control - Theorv and Use Hawkins Bass Control (parametric) is a unique subwoofer control circuit included with the Soundstream RUBICON Class A 10.2 and 5.2 amplifiers. It is capable of removing subsonic energy in program material while boosting subwoofer frequencies. The circuit consists of two controls. One adjusts the frequency of operation and the other adjusts the range of boost.
~INSTALLATI~N STEP I ) ( INSTALLATION STEP 2 ) SELECTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT MODE The RUBICON Class A 10.2 and any one of the following modes: 5.2 amplifiers have the ability to operate in Stereo (STACT/Mjx& Mono): Use this mode for either stereo operation (left and right channels) or for Mixed Mono operation (stereo left and right channels plus bridged mono for a subwoofer). The RUBICON Class A 10.2 and 5.
INSTALLATION STEP 3 ) INSTALLATION STEP 4 ) WIRING POWER AND GROUND To ensure maximum output from your RUBICON amplifier, use high quality, lowloss power and ground cables and connections. The RUBICON amplifiers will accept up to 4 gauge power and ground cables. Determine from the chart below the minimum gauge power and ground wire for your application.
INSTALLATION STEP 5 TRIDENT PROTECTION CIRCUITRY Your Rubicon amplifier is protected against both overheating and short circuits by means of main power fuses and the following circuits: * Auto High Current power supply + Speaker Output Protection + Ground Fault Differential The input levels are adjusted by means of the individual channel input level controls located on the front of the amplifier. This is a unique dual-stage circuit that adjusts both level and gain.
