DESIGN FEATURES
Only
parts are used in
amplifier, such as
resistors, gold-plated
input connectors, and immersrble
sealed
potentiometers.
Each output device is individually rated at 125 watts. The
case is equipped with
generous heat
sinks, and
thermal
protection is provided. Input sensitivity
is adjust-
able
to match any tuner/deck -the
amplifier can even be used as a power
booster.
gain devices are biased by regulated active current sources, so that even
frequency performance is unaffected by supply-line noise and temperature
lions. There is no current limiting, and
the amplifiers will drive fully reactive loads.
Soundstream amplifiers can be bridged to deliver high power into a single channel.
The D200 features dual-monaural construction, with
fully
independent power
supplies. The Class-A-50 Class-A-40 operate in pure Class A mode for the
ultimate
in sonic transparency. And despite their
sophistication, the
Soundstream amplifiers are elegantly simple in design.
INSTALLATION
Proper installation and adjustment will reward you with reliable operation and
optimum performance. Automotive sound system installations can be tricky, espe-
cially
for first-timers.
For this reason, you may want to consider
a pro-
fessional installer who has the tools and more Importantly, the experience to
do the job right.
If you decide to install your equipment yourself, we hope that
this manual will serve as a helpful guide.
LOCATION &MOUNTING
The first
step in installation is thorough planning. Choose the location for your
amplifier carefully. The amplifier should be located in either the passenger
compartment or the trunk, never
in the engine compartment or
in any outside
location exposed to dirt and moisture. Adequate ventilation is important; allow
enough space so that air can
circulate around the heat sinks.
If the amplifier is
mounted vertically, mounting the heat sink fins vertically will optimize heat
dissipation.
The Class-A-50 Class-A-40 in particular tend to run hot because of Class A
operation. This
is no cause for concern provided that ventilation is adequate.
Make sure that the installed amplifier will not interfere with normal operation of
the car. For example, if you locate the amplifier under a front seat, make sure
that it does not interfere with seat adjustment, that it
not be exposed by
repositioning the seat, and that the seat does not press on the amplifier when
occupied. If you install the amplifier in your trunk, make
sure that it is not an
obstruction.
It is best not to locate the amplifier near your antenna, because the switching
power
supply can interfere with AM reception.
Your amplifier should be mounted firmly to your car’s interior with the four
screws/washers provided. Use your amplifier as a template for making
marks where you intend to drill. (Do not operate your drill through these mount-
ing holes.)
