Product Highlights
Built For The Long Haul – “Bulletproof” is the phrase that
best describes The Pantages G3. Everything about this ampli-
fier says that it is in there for the long haul. This amplifier
has been designed with durability in mind. The cool running
Class H design minimizes component damaging heat while the
Lightdrive system protects your speakers from harmful har-
monics caused by clipping.
Class H Design – Most amplifiers have one speed, all on.
That means that during most of music up to 90% of the amps
power is just going up in heat. The Class H design takes care
of this problem by automatically and intelligently adjusting the
power supply to fit the power demands of the moment. The
result is much cooler operation without the need for bulky
heatsinks or fans.
Lightdrive Protection System – The Lightdrive protection
circuitry defends this amplifier and speakers against clipping,
distortion, damage, and annoying teenage beach party movies.
Even if the movie festival lasts all weekend. Each channel is
independently protected so a problem in one channel will not
affect the rest of the system.
High Definition BiMOS Output Design – Home Theatre
audio systems place terrific demands on power amplifiers. The
high current drive capabilities of our BiMOS outputs cleanly
delivers a minimum of 230 watts while maintaining a cool
head.
Unparalleled energy efficiency – Whether from the point of
view of saving electricity or from the viewpoint of less heat in
the rack, this amplifier has no equal. It is VERY energy effi-
cient during operation.
Made in the Northwest Rainforest The AudioControl
Pantages G3 begin their existence at our factory in Mountlake
Terrace, Washington, a few miles north of Seattle. Here, we
also build precision test instruments, equalizers and analyz-
ers and a totally awesome 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 home theatre system so
we can get the popcorn ready! (remember though, these amps
runs really cool, so you’ll have to use the microwave to melt
your butter)

AudioControl amplifiers have an innovative power
supply that acts as a transmission, shifting up and
down. This keeps them running cool and energy
efficient.
