Your Soundstream RUBICON amplifier will outperform any other amplifier in the world. To Maximize the performance of your system, we recommend that you thoroughly acquaint yourself with its capabilites and features.
DESIGN FEATURES RUBI Power Supply (Rapid-Use Branched Impulse) Our new power supply eliminates”power sais” during-low frequency re- production by rapidly increasing the duty cycle, stabilizing the power supply and allowing it to deliver the power required when reproducing low frequencies. Also, greater reserve gate power is now stored for low voltage conditions that occur during ex- treme conditions.
