If you’re an installation veteran, this may seem repetitive, but
some things can never be repeated too many times (just ask our
Customer Support Department).
1. Turn off ALL components before making any connections.
2. When making connections, designate RED RCA plugs as
RIGHT and WHITE, BLACK, or GREY plugs as LEFT. In fact,
this is a good idea for ALL signal connections made in your audio
system. The key is consistency. Stick with the same color-coding
and you’ll reduce possible problems.
3. If the same audio signal needs to feed multiple channels the
Input Bus switch on the Architect must be pressed ‘in’.
4. Whenever possible, keep power cords away from signal
cables to prevent induced hum. This is especially important if you
bundle the cables to keep the installation neat looking.
5. Use quality interconnect cables. We’re not going to get into
the debate about whether $100/meter cables improve the sound,
but we know from experience that really, REALLY cheap cables
can cause a multitude of problems. They tend to break inside or
corrode, causing a loss of signal or hum. They also can have poor
shielding.
6. If you need to run the RCA audio cables more than 20 feet
you should consider using a balanced line driver for the signals.
This will provide better noise rejection against nasty things like
hum, spikes, local
talk radio, etc. Ask
your AudioControl
representative for
more information
about line drivers.
