AC Power
Under normal operating conditions, The Architect can draw
up to 1000 watts of AC power. Don’t plug it into a switched
outlet on your system unless you are certain that it can handle the
power rating. Also, please don’t cut off the ground pin on the
power connector. It is an important safety feature. If you need to
plug it into a two prong outlet, use a ground adapter (and connect
the ground on it). If you have a ground noise problem, try the
ground lift switch on the rear panel.
Remote Power Control
The Architect has three levels of power control.
1. Main AC Power Switch — This is the master control and
must be turned ON for The Architect to function. When the main
power switch is on, the Blue Power LED on the front panel lights
up. Normally the only time that you would need to turn the AC
power switch off is when the system is going to be unused for an
extended period.
2. Remote Power Control — This removable 3-pin remote
connector on the rear panel allows simple interfacing with exter-
nal control systems. It accepts either a contact closure or external
+12 volts DC (see diagram). The two-color Protection LED on
the front panel illuminates Blue to show that the remote power
control is active and The Architect is in Stand-by.
3. Signal-Sense Circuit — This provides individual zone
power control. When active, it senses that an audio signal is
present on the RCA inputs, enables the power and unmutes that
zone. The zone status LEDs on the front panel light up Blue when
a signal is present.
In some installations it may be desirable to defeat the signal-
sense control and leave all zones active regardless of the audio
input. To defeat the signal-sense, press in the Signal-Sense Defeat
button on the rear panel.
Note: The channels are paired into
stereo zones (channels 1&2, 3&4,
etc.). The signal-sense control effects
both channels in a zone at the same
time even if only one input is used.

The Long Version
Installation Hint: If your
installation doesn’t require this
remote power turn-on, you must
put a short piece of wire between the
+12 V output and the Trigger In
pins.
Note: If you are not using the
Remote Power Control you must
connect the +12 V output to the
trigger input.
