DESIGN FEATURES Handcrafted in the U.S.A. with mii-spec glass epoxy circuit boards, low- loss connections, gold-plated input connectors, and metal film resistors. Darlington High Current Discrete Output Topology - Soundstream’s “overbuilding” of the output section incorporates Darlington output devices sandwiched between the circuit board and the heatsink in a design called ChassisinkTM to ensure cool, efficient amplifier operation. -
Page 6: Selecting Input Modes
q INSTALLATION STEP 2 t SELECTING INPUT MODES The SA*164 can be driven with either one or two pairs of stereo inputs. If your source unit has front and rear outputs, you can take advantage of its fading capability by driving the multi-channel amplifiers with two pairs of input. When operating your Soundstream amplifier in mono, only one input is necessary. -
Page 7: Installation And Mounting
(Continued from page 7 1) INTERNAL The Soundstream amplifiers are fused internally with automotive-type fuses. The fuses are accessible via a plastic plug on the bottom of the amplifier. Never replace the fuses with higher value than what is supplied. result in amplifier and will void the warranty! damage... -
Page 8: Level Setting
T~GTALLATI~~I STEP 5 t LEVEL SETTING The input levels are adjusted by means of the input level controls located on the front of the amplifier. In the ideal situation, all components in the audio system reach maximum undistorted output at the same time. The reason is because an amplifier will only make what comes into it bigger. -
Page 10: Service
PROTECTION ClRCUITRY Your SA amplifier is protected against both overheating and short circuits by means of the following circuits: Main supply fuses. power Speaker output circuit breakers. A fail-safe thermal protection circuit activating at 95°C. NOTE: If you experience blown main power supply fuses, DO NOT increase values beyond the original values! Doing so will void your warranty and may damage your amplifier. -
