  • Page 4: Design Features

    DESIGN FEATURES RUBI™(Rapid-Use Branched Impulse) 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 to reproduce low frequencies. Also, greater reserve gate power is stored for low voltage conditions that occur during extreme conditions.
  • Page 5 Harmonic Bass Alignment™ The 2nd and 3rd order harmonic peaks are critically aligned to fundamental peaks at low frequencies. This produces tighter, more accurate bass reproduction. Output Clipping Indicators indicate clipping on the output stage of the amplifier. Monitoring the clipping indicators allows the user to achieve maximum Sound Pressure Level without clipping the amplifier.

  • Page 10: Hawkins Bass Control - Theory And Use

    Hawkins Bass Control - Theory and Use Hawkins Bass Control ( parametric) is a unique subwoofer control circuit included with the Soundstream Human Reign Unleashed amplifiers. It is capable of removing subsonic energy in program material while boosting subwoofer frequencies.
  • Page 11: Phase Switch

    Listen for a reduction of bass response. Now, rotate frequency control slightly backwards. This serves the purpose of removing the “subsonic” bass energy. With Soundstream’s Hawkins Bass Control, the boost and frequency control can provide virtually any combination of boost and cut to suit your designs.

    WIRING POWER AND GROUND To ensure maximum output from your Human Reign Unleashed amplifier, use high quality, low-loss power and ground cables and connections. The Human Reign Unleashed amplifiers will accept up to 2 gauge power and ground cables. Determine from the chart below the minimum gauge power and ground wire for your application.
  • Page 13: Remote Turn-On

    REMOTE TURN-ON Connect the “Remote” line to the turn-on lead from the source unit. When +12Volts received, the amplifier will turn on. Use 16 guage wire minimum. SIGNAL CABLE Use a high quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal loss to guarantee optimum performance.
  • Page 14: Installation And Mounting

    INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING AMPLIFIER LOCATION The Human Reign Unleashed amplifiers employ highly efficient circuitry and a custom-engineered heat sink to maintain lower operating temperatures. Additional cooling may be required if the amplifier is located in a tightly confined area or when driving especially low impedance loads at extremely high levels. When mounting the amplifier, it should be securely mounted to either a panel in the vehicle or an amp board or rack that is securely mounted to the vehicle.
  • Page 15: Level Setting

    LEVEL SETTING The input level is adjusted by means of the input level control located on the control panel of the amplifier. This is a unique dual-stage circuit that adjusts both level and gain. This topology maintains better S/N Ratio even when using sources with minimal output.

    TRIDENT PROTECTION CIRCUITRY Your Human Reign Unleashed amplifier is protected against both overheating and short circuits by means of main power fuses and the following circuits: Speaker Output Protection Ground Fault Differential Smart Power Supply Thermal Rollback & Thermal Protection Circuit NOTE: If you experience blown main power supply fuses, it is likely that the amplifier is seeing a dead short, either in the speaker wire or in the speaker itself.
