makes it very simple to pre-wire a system
without ever taking the Architect out to
the installation site. The two output blocks
are paralleled to simplify connection to
multiple speakers. The speaker connector
blocks will accept up to 12 AWG wire.
Optional 5-way Binding Posts –
Available
as an option for installers that prefer this
type of speaker connection (The Architect
Model 115 and Model 215).
Ground Lift Switch
–
This switch selects
the level of isolation between the audio
signal ground and your AC earth ground.
In normal operation this switch should be
in the Ground position, but if you run into
trouble with an AC ground hum, try the
other two settings for the best operation.
For your safety, the chassis is always con
-
nected to the earth ground regardless of
the switch setting.
AC Power Fuse
–
The Architect is de-
signed with several layers of protection
circuitry. This power fuse is here just in
case something really awful goes wrong.
Master Power Switch
–
This switch shuts
off the main AC power. Normally the only
time you need to turn the master power
switch off is if the system is going to be
shut down for an extended period of time.
Power Cord
–
The Architect draws ap-
proximately 550 watts at full power. Make
certain that it is plugged directly into the
wall outlet or a power strip with sufficient
power rating. Since the Architect has
remote power switching, you can plug the
unit into an outlet that is always active.
Signal Present LEDs –
These ultra-con-
venient LED’s light up when there is an
audio signal present at the outputs of your
Architect amplifier. If there is still no mu-
sic playing than you need to troubleshoot
the wiring that comes after the Architect.
PFM Highpass Filter (Internal Setting)
This Architect amplifier is internally
equipped with AudioControl’s unique
PFM subsonic filter circuit. This bass
blocking filter sets the low frequency
cut-off point of the Architect. The PFM
features an 18dB per octave slope at 35Hz
that can be bypassed internally. Contact
us for details as this is done internally.
