AudioControl factories are located in the rainforests of the
Pacific Northwest, so we have long been know for designing
“green” amplifiers that are stingy on power consumption. For
clients that are looking for extremely low power consump
-
tion, when their distributed audio systems are not in use,
AudioControl offers the Architect Model 210ES. This unique
model includes a patent pending circuit that allows the Mod-
el 210ES to meet the stringent Energy Star 2 requirements.
If no audio signal is present for a brief period of time, the
Architect Model 210ES goes into a sleep mode where it draws
less than 1 watt of wall current. When the audio system starts
playing , the Architect Model 210ES powers back up .

The Architect Model 110, Model
210 and Model 210ES’s Programmable Frequency Match
(PFM) circuitry is a bass-blocking filter which protects small
speakers and improves their overall sound. The smaller
woofers found in most in-wall or bookshelf speakers cannot
repro-duce the bass of a larger speaker (the laws of physics
intervene). If called upon to reproduce a bass note that would
cause the speaker to move PAST it’s maximum cone travel,
damage can result - and even if the speaker isn’t damaged,
severe audible distortion does occur.

The Architect Model 110,
Model 210 and Model 210ES began their existence at the
AudioControl factory in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, a
few miles north of Seattle, USA. Here, we also build precision
test instruments, equalizers and analyzers and a totally awe-
some line of car stereo components. AudioControl started in
1977 and has won so many audio industry awards for design
and engineering excellence that our reception room wall is
starting to sag. But enough about us. Let’s start getting the
most from the audio system!
