Sound Stream is bringing the Reference Series back

Many of old folks often reminisce about the good ‘old days of car audio, discussing brands that used to be, products that share a special place in our heart, or demo cars that “changed our lives”. As many of you know, I’m a firm believer that car audio is going to see a renaissance of the classics just as the automotive industry has in the last few years. When brands and products come up, SoundStream is definitely one of the favorites, and their Reference Series the topic of many conversations. Well, after a 10 year hiatus the SoundStream is bringing the Reference Series back! But not as the same ‘ol amps we remember. Change can be a good thing, and certainly is in this case. Over the last 10 years amplifier technology has come a very long way, and SoundStream has taken advantage of the time passed and have made significant improvements to the Reference Series:

“…4:1 power supply ratio, precision wound toroidal transformers and inductors, polystyrene capacitors, high speed switching J-FET OP amps and precision tracking potentiometers.”

The Reference amps can also take advantage of SoundStream’s BLT-4 balanced line transmitter for amazing noise rejection and signal strength. Same great looks, same great sound quality, but now with improved performance!

Features:

  • HEXPRO five way protection system
  • Ultra low ESR capacitance bank ensures rapid power delivery for dynamic peaks 
  • Hawkins Bass Control  proprietary bass equalization circuitry 
  • Fully regulated MOSFET power supply 
  • Rail stabilization protection circuit 
  • Selectable/Continuously variable high and low pass crossover 
  • Balanced line inputs for the highest level of noise rejection 
  • Gold Plated RCA input and output terminals 
  • Military grade fiberglass PCB board 
  • Independent left and right channel gain controls
