DESIGN FEA TURES 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 then reproducing low frequencies.
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. Drive Delay II™ Amplifier section powers up 2 to 3 seconds after the power supply eliminating turn-on pops.

CROSSOVER & PHASE ADJUSTMENTS The Human Reign amplifiers incorporate an on-board staggered electronic cross-over. No external electronic crossover is necessary. The low pass portion of the crossover can be set independently of the rest of the system.
Hawkins Bass Control - Theory and Use Hawkins Bass Control ( parametric )is a unique subwoofer control circuit included with the Soundstream Human Reign amplifier. It is capable of removing subsonic energy in program material while boosting subwoofer frequencies.
Application Subwoofer drivers in general have excellent power handling characteristics over their operational bandwidth. This bandwidth is determined by many factors, including driver design, and enclosure type. It is possible to overdrive any subwoofer driver by sending powerful signals outside of its operational bandwidth.
WIRING POWER AND GROUND To ensure maximum output from your Human Reign amplifier, use high quality, low-loss power and ground cables and connections. The Human Reign 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.
REMOTE TURN-ON Connect the “Remote” line to the turn-on lead from the source unit. When +12Volts received, the amplifier will turn on. SIGNAL CABLE Use a high quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal loss to guarantee optimum performance.
INST ALLA TION AND MOUNTING AMPLIFIER LOCA TION The Human Reign amplifiers employ highly efficient circuitry,a custom- engineered heat sink, and a unique Chassisink construction to maintain lower operating temperatures.
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.
17 TRIDENT PROTECTION CIRCUITR Y Your Human Reign amplifier is protected against both overheating and short circuits by means of main power fuses and the following circuits: Speaker Output Protection .
SERVICE Your Soundstream Human Reign amplifier is protected by a limited warranty. Please read the enclosed warranty card for details. As with all Soundstream products, a Return Authorization (available from Soundstream) is required for service of this amplifier.
