Soundstream Technologies SA.244 - Manual (Page 6)

DESIGN FEATURES SETTING THE CROSSOVER MODES
Handcrafted in the U.S.A. with glass epoxy circuit boards, low-loss
connections, gold plated input connectors, and metal film resistors.
The Soundstream 244, 245 incorporate a replaceable S.I.P.
electronic crossover for each of their pairs of channel only on
as well as the outputs & The 244, 245
amplifiers can drive a complete system without need of an outboard electronic
crossover.
Darlington High Current Discrete Output Topology Soundstream’s
“overbuilding” of the output section incorporates Darlington output devices
sandwiched between the circuit board and the heat sink in a design called
to ensure cool, efficient amplifier operation.
Mixed Mono Capable so you can simultaneously drive a stereo and mono
load (satellites and subwoofer).
2 Ohm Drive Ability Soundstream SA Series amplifiers are designed to
drive loads down to 2 Ohms stereo and 4 Ohms bridged.
Built-in Staggered Asymmetrical Crossover Built in electronic
crossover is designed to send either high or low pass information to the
amplifier. Outputs are included to drive another amplifier with either high or
low pass information
Bass EQ Adjustable bass equalization circuit allows you to boost bass by
as much as
at 45 Hz. A built in subsonic filter protects speakers.
Drive Delay” Muted Turn-on/off Circuit A unique circuit which
completely eliminates any amplifier-related turn-on/off noises.
Flexible Input Sensitivity Accepts input voltages from 100 to 2.5 V
(from 40 to 2.5 V on the subwoofer channel), which permits
maximum output from amplifier with virtually any source unit.
“Balancing Act” Input Topology for added immunity to ground loops
caused by component and vehicle electrical system interaction.

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Before installing the amplifier, make certain the switches on the bottom are set
to the correct positions and hole plugs are installed on the bottom of the
amplifier.

LOW PASS
The low pass crossover is used for sending only low frequency information to
particular speakers (or crossover outputs). Activate the low pass crossover if
you intend to drive subwoofers.
HIGH PASS
The high pass crossover is used for sending only midrange and high frequency
information to particular speakers (or crossover outputs). Activate the high pass
crossover if you intend to drive satellite or coaxial speakers in the system along
with subwoofers. Even if your system does not include subwoofers, it may be
helpful to activate the high pass crossover with smaller speakers to protect them
from low frequency information.
