DESIGN FEATURES
(Rapid-Use Branched Impulse) Our new
l
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.
supply stress by 50%: U&of inverted channels usually de-
grades the stereo image due to phase reversal of even order
harmonic distortion that occurs between the inverted channels.
In the STACT design inversion is done at the power amplifier
Since the fully symmetrical power amplifier pro-
drive stage.
duces no even harmonic distortion itself and all preamp circuitry
(which does produce even harmonics) is run completely in phase,
no even harmonic distortion phase reversal occurs.
Three types of protection for RUBICON
l
amplifiers;
1.
Output protection against short circuits or improper loads.
2. Ground fault detection. Shuts down the amplifier when a signifi-
cant (5 volt or greater) voltage fluctuation occurs between elec-
trical (turn on lead) and battery ground.
Thermal protection. Will put the amplifier into thermal rollback or
shut the amplifier down in extreme thermal conditions.
Hawkins Bass Control
Provides focused subwoofer boost and
routes wasted subsonic power to the audible bandwidth. The
Control which allows you to boost bass from 0 to 9dB at 45Hz. A
built-in subsonic filter at 45Hz helps protect the speakers. The
allows you to boost bass 6dB at 45Hz. A built-in subsonic filter
at 45Hz helps protect the speakers.
Harmonic Bass Alignment TM
to fundamental peaks at
peaks are critically aligned
cies. This produces tighter, more accurate bass reproduction.

Drive Delay II Muting TM
Amplifier section now powers up 2
seconds after power supply eliminating turn on pops. Turn off
process is reversed. Amplifier section turns off first, followed by
power supply.
Dynamically Optimized Power GridTM
distributed between primary and secondary power supplies, pro-
viding greater dynamics and improved RF filtering.
High Power/High Current Switch(302 on/y)
match the amplifier to the load being driven allowing greater sys-
tem flexibility and greater output.
All transistors are sandwiched between the cir-
cuit board and the heatsink to provide cool efficient amplifier
operation in a smaller package.
Differentially Balanced RCA Input
related noise in the audio.
Built-in Staggered S.I.P. Crossover Networks
way electronic crossover is designed to send either high or low
pass information to the amplifier. 12dB/oct Highpass and
Flexible Dual Input Level Control
5V input sensitivity. Separate left and right level controls allows
system
user to optimize

Symmetrical Discrete Balanced Class
adjusts for linear performance in low impedance loads.
