We study the spectrum of SU(2) x SO(2) matrix supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We use angular coordinates that allow us to find an explicit solution of the Gauss law constraints and single out the quantum number n (the Lorentz angular momentum). Energy levels are four-fold degenerate with respect to n and are labeled by n_q, the largest n in a quartet. The Schr\"odinger equation is reduced to two different systems of two-dimensional partial differential equations. The choice of a system is governed by n_q. We present the asymptotic solutions for the systems deriving thereby the asymptotic formula for the spectrum. Odd n_q are forbidden, for even n_q the spectrum has a continuous part as well as a discrete one, meanwhile for half-integer n_q the spectrum is purely discrete. Taking half-integer n_q one can cure the model from instability caused by the presence of continuous spectrum.
