Congratulations! 

You are now installing a component which will dramatically 

improve the performance of any distributed audio system, espe-

cially those utilizing in-wall speakers. The Architect™ Model 

1100 Series are American-designed and built, “set and forget” 

components which will provide a lifetime of trouble-free service 

for your multi-room audio system.

The Architect™ Model 1100 Series is made by the only elec-

tronics company in the world that specializes in amplifiers, equal

-

izers, signal processors and audio analyzers. And the company 

whose professional sound division designed and continues to sell 

the most popular one-third octave real time analyzer in the world, 

the SA-3050. Our passion for high quality, meticulous attention to 

detail and pro sound heritage shows itself in the dozens of awards 

we have won for our designs, products and service. Now, as when 

we began, our greatest satisfaction is our reputation for sonic 

excellence and reliability among people just like you throughout 

the world.

This manual is designed to help you get everything you can 

out of your new Architect amplifier. So, even though you’re dying 

to see it in action, please take a few minutes to slog through our 

not-so-weighty prose and learn how to get the most from The  

Architect power amplifier. Anything as capable as this amp 

 

deserves all the explanation it can get.
