Quick Hook-up
Guide
Experienced Installer’s Quick
Hook-Up Guide
What follows are “Express” hook-up diagrams for profes
-
sionals and experienced audio buffs.
1.
Connect the Speaker and Audio Inputs.
(Page 10)
The Architect is designed to drive multiple speakers down
to 2 ohm loads. To simplify connection, there are two sets of
speaker terminals in parallel. Remember to figure in both
sets of connections when calculating the total system speaker
impedance.
2.
Connect the AC power.
(Page 9) Start with the
GROUND LIFT switch in the GROUND position. If you
have a ground loop hum, try the other two positions. This
switch only isolates the audio ground from the earth ground.
The chassis is always connected to earth ground.
3.
Signal Sense and Remote Turn-On.
This Architect
amplifier is equipped with a Signal Sensing circuit on the
inputs that will turn the unit on as soon as it sees an audio
signal. We have also equipped this unit with an optional 12V-
trigger input that can be used to remotely turn the Architect
On and Off, should this function be needed.
4.
Set the Equalization (Model 210,
Model 210ES).
(Page 15) While it can
be set by ear, adjustment of the Ar-
chitect Model 210’s speaker optimizer
controls is best done with a one-third
octave real time analyzer and pink
noise test signal.
5.
