Appendix B – Understanding The
Front Panel LEDs
The AudioControl Architect Model 110/210/210ES is not
only a great sounding amplifier but it is also an intelligent
audio component. Just by looking at the LED’s on the front
panel, you will know how your Architect is functioning and,
should the need arise, it will you assist in troubleshooting
your system.
You will be happy to note that while there are a number of
modes that the Architect may be operating in, you will gener-
ally not have to pay any attention to this. The AudioControl
Architect series of amplifiers is designed to play continuously,
even under unusual circumstances. Should a situation arose
where your system is not playing, please look at the LED
lights on the front panel and refer to the chart below for guid-
ance.
