Soundstream Technologies 501 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
REMOTE TURN-ON
Connect the “Remote” line to the turn-on lead from the source unit. When
+I2
Volts is 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.
SPEAKER CABLE
The
RUBICON
amplifiers will accept up to 8 gauge speaker cable. Use a high
quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity.

Port Bridging Option
The RubiconSOl/ amplifier has the ability to be bridged to another identical
amplifier for double the output by using the BIO Port. When this feature is
used, the master amplifier’s level and crossover switches affect both amplifiers
(the slave amplifier’s controls are totally bypassed). By switching the phase
switch to 180 on the slave amplifier and connecting a RCA cable from the
501/
OUT on the master amplifier to the
5011lN
on the slave amplifier both amplifiers
are synchronized. Then connect a positive speaker cable to the master
amplifier’s positive speaker terminal and the other speaker cable to the slave
amplifier’s positive terminal.
Finally connect the speaker
no less than 2 ohms. This will supply twice the power of
wires to a single load
a single amplifier.
