1.
Remote Power Control -
The Remote Power Control is an
1
/
8
” mono jack plug connector
that provides remote turn-on of The Savoy G3 (see Figure 1). The sleeve of the pin is the ground
(-) and the tip is active (+).
2.
Line-level Input -
The Savoy G3 features both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs
to connect your preamplifier’s outputs. Any standard line-level audio signal can be connected to
these inputs. DO NOT connect both the balanced and unbalanced inputs of a single channel.
3.
Line-level Output -
The Savoy G3 offers unbalanced RCA line-level outputs that allow
you to send the signal on to a second amplifier for those systems that are arranged in a bi-amp
design.
4.
Sensitivity Switch -
The Savoy G3 provides three input sensitivity settings to level match
the inputs of the Savoy G3 with the outputs of your theater processor. AudioControl recommends
setting “C” because it provides the greatest protection and noise reduction. Setting “B” is the
THX standard (consult your theater processor or source unit manual to determine if output volt-
age is THX™ rated). Setting A is only used in situations where other manufacture’s pre-amplifiers
with higher gain are a part of the system.
5.
Speaker Outputs -
These 5-way binding posts are solid construction, gold plated, high-
current terminal blocks that will accept large gauge speaker wire, pin, fork, and standard 0.75”
spaced banana plugs.
6.
AC Power Fuse -
The Savoy G3 is designed with several layers of protection circuitry. This
power fuse is here just in case something really awful goes wrong.
7.
Master Power Switch -
This switch shuts off the main AC power. Normally the only time
you need to turn the master power switch off is if the system is going to be shut down for an ex-
tended period of time.
8.
Power Plug -
The Savoy G3 accepts an IEC Power Chord (included). The Savoy G3 draws
an average of 700 Watts with typical source material. Make certain that it is plugged directly into
the wall outlet or a power strip with sufficient power handling capabilities. Since the Savoy G3
has remote power switching, you can plug the unit into an outlet that is always active.
