2. Channel Status LEDs — These dual-
color LEDs serve two purposes. First, they
illuminate Green when the corresponding zone is
active. The second function of the status LED is
to turn Amber if something has caused that zone
to go into protection.
3. Protection LED — This LED also has
two faces. In normal operation it glows Green
when the remote power trigger is active and The
Architect is in stand-by. If the Protection LED
turns Amber, then one of the internal protection
circuits have come into use. All the protection
circuits automatically reset themselves when the
problem causing the fault has been fixed.
4. Power LED — Nothing too tricky
here...if you have the Master Power switch (on
the back panel) turned on and The Architect is
plugged into an active AC outlet, this little red
light will shine forth.
Note: If you have the Signal-Sense
turned on, then the status LED will
not turn on until there is an audio
signal present on that zone’s inputs.

1. Stereo Speaker Optimizer Controls —
(Model 700 only) This sea of knobs provide up to
12dB boost or cut at 45Hz, 150Hz, 300Hz,
700Hz, 2500Hz and 12KHz. After initial adjust-
ment the only time you would change the control
settings are 1) if you connect different speakers
into the system, 2) if (assuming the speakers
aren’t built-in) you move them significantly, such
as from a bookshelf to floor stands, or 3) if your
room acoustics change through addition or
rearrangement of furniture, wall or floor cover-
ings, large hairy dogs, etc.
