SETTING THE

HIGH PO

CURRENTS

The High Power/High Current switch allows the REFERENCE amplifier to be

one two types of amps: either producing maximum

at higher

impedances (perfect for satellites)

at

lower impedances (usually with

subwoofers). The circuit operates by selecting a sat of power supply voltage
rails best suited to your particular application.

One is a higher voltage “tap”

optimized for high impedance applications while the other is lower voltage
designed to provide more current. Unlike other amplifiers, Soundstream’s

REFERENCE

can be configured to

any impedance

and

make maximum power!
