- Page 3 RUBITM(_Rapid-Be @ranched _knpulse) This new proprietary power ply topology eliminates “power sags” during low frequency reproduction rapidly increasing the duty cycle, stabilizing the power supply and allowing it to deliver the power required when reproducing low frequen- cies. Also, greater reserve gate power is stored for low voltage condi- tions that occur during extreme conditions.
