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.

A4 CROSSOVER

The A4 uses a S.I.P. (Series !n-line Package resistor network) for high pass crossover functions (factory set at 150Hz). However, the low pass is adjusted using a 12dB/oct variable crossover that has a range of 50 to 220Hz as seen in the shaded area below.

signals outside of its operational bandwidth. These potentially damaging sig- nals can be removed by adding a subsonic filter. Figure 1 shows the effective- ness of the Hawkins Bass Control on woofer excursion in a vented enclo- sure. The woofer travels 7.5mm at 10Hz. With Hawkins Bass Control prop- erly adjusted, this excursion can be reduced to less than 1 mm. This is oi great benefit to lowering woofer distortion and increasing output.

With Soundstream’s Hawkins Bass Control, the boost and frequency con- trol can provide the “tailoring” needed for any type of “assisted” design an any woofer in any type of installation.

The Angina and A4 amplifiers share the same fixed Hawkins Bass Control technology. A two position switch on the top of the amplifiers control the ‘Hawkins Bass Control’or ‘Sub Sonic’ filters as seen in the shaded area below. When the ‘Hawkins Bass Control is engaged a 6dB boost is applied at 45Hz. The ‘Sub Sonic’setting will engage the 13Hz subsonic filter with nc boost.
