Doing The Deed
Before proceeding on to setting up the Speaker Optimiza-
tion controls on the Architect, it’s a good idea to make sure
that you have everything connected and working properly.
1. Double-check all connections. Make certain that all of the
audio and speaker connections are firmly seated and tight-
ened down.
2. Turn on your audio system. The Power LED on the Archi-
tect should be BLUE, the Protection LED should be BLUE
and (unless you have defeated the Signal-Sense) the Chan-
nel Status LED’s should be BLUE, with audio present.
3. Start the audio source playing and send that signal to the
Architect (how you do this depends on your particular
multi-room system). The zone status LED should illumi-
nate RED then BLUE approximately one second after the
music begins.
4. Check each speaker output zone to ensure that each one
plays properly.
5. With all the speaker loads turned on, turn up the volume
and make certain that the channel status LEDs on the
Architect stay BLUE. If they slowly toggle between BLUE
and RED, then there is either a short in the speaker wir-
ing, or the combined speaker load is below 2 ohms.
6. Congratulations! You’re ready to go on to setting the
Speaker Optimization controls.
