first amplifier you have ever heard, we 
encourage you to set aside some time to 
review this not-so-weighty prose. While

concealed within a minimum of technical 
jargon. Not only will you learn how to get 
the most from this AudioControl home 
theater power amplifier, you might get a 
smile or two. Anything as capable as this 
amplifier deserves all the explanation it 
can get.
We also encourage you to visit the 
AudioControl web site, conveniently

we have tried to anticipate any installation 
issues in this manual, there are sometimes 
new applications and ideas that come to

challenging questions, feel free to call us
