Ê Ethernet LAN Connection (Model 1161)
– This enables control of the Architect via
a standard 10BaseT computer network. The
internal web server of the Architect also allows
the technician to remotely monitor the status of
the amplifier. See page 19 for more information.
Ë Bypass Switch (Models 661 and 1161)
– For
diagnostics only. This button disables all the
Ethernet control functions and forces all chan-
nels on. This is useful in case there is a prob-
lem with the home automation system and you
really need some music.
Ì Signal Sense Defeat - The signal sensing
circuitry activates a zone when a signal is pres-
ent. To leave the Architect ready to play at all
times, press this switch “In” (to Defeat).
Í Bus Inputs 1 and 2 - These RCA inputs
provide two distribution busses to provide a
common signal to multiple zones. These inputs
are used in conjunction with the Bus Input
Switches on each amplifier zone.
Î Speaker Outputs - These terminal blocks
are designed to make an installer smile. You
can unplug the blocks and connect all of the
speaker wires to them without balancing the
Architect on your lap. This also makes it very
simple to pre-wire a system.
Ï Local Trigger Inputs – This

” mini-jack uses
an external 12 volt trigger to switch the zone
between the bus input and the local zone input.
This is great for switching a room between the
whole-house audio signal and a local source
such as a television. The LED next to this jack
indicates when the trigger is active. The trigger
over rides signal sense.
Ð Mono – This button sums (Monos) the left and
right inputs of the selected zone. This button
is active when pressed in and does not affect
any other zones. The Mono feature is also used
when you are bridging a zone.
Ñ Input Level Control
– This screwdriver
adjustment controls the input sensitivity of the
Architect amplifier. The minimum sensitivity
(full clockwise)is 1 volt.
