Desiun features of the An&a SLA/SHTM (Speaker Load Adapting I Subwoofer Hyper-Efficient) This new dual function technology currently operates in two different ways in different models. In subwoofer applications the power supply tracks the incoming audio signal and increases or decreases its own voltage level to mirror the input.
Desiun Features of the A4 + + RUBITM Power Supply (Rapid-Use Branched Impulse) Our new power supply 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 when reproducing low frequencies. Also, greater reserve gate power is now stored for low voltage conditions that occur during extreme conditions. STACTTM (Stabilized Apex Current lopology) Reduces power supply stress by 50%.

Crossover Adiustmen ts Hawkins Bass Control ANGINA CROSSOVER The ANGINA is designed as a mono subwoofer amplifier. This means the amplifier will direct 200 watts of pure hard-core bass to your subwoofers. It handles these low frequencies with a Butterworth, 12dB/octave low pass filter. These low pass frequencies are directed by the three position switch which sits on top of the amplifier as shown in the shaded area below. The switch selects from the following three frequencies; 60, 80 or 1 OOHz.
Ins tda tion and Moun ting Wiring A MPLINER LOCATION POWER A ND GROUND The RUBICON amplifier employs highly efficient circuitry, a custom-engineered heat sink, and a unique Chassisink construction 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.
Level Setting ~ The input levels are adjusted by means of the input level controls located on the front of the amplifier as shown below in the shaded area. This is a unique dualstage circuit that adjusts both level and gain. This topology maintains better S/N Ratio even when using sources with minimal output. In the ideal situation, all components in the audio system reach maximum undistorted output at the same time.
