Placement –
The AudioControl Pantages G4 is a
very cool running amplifier. With the
Class H power supply dynamically
allocating power as needed, it will
remain a cool runner for the lifetime
of the product. However, precautions
should be made so that it does have a
bit of breathing room – it is a powerful
amplifier after all. Make certain that
the air vents at the top and bottom
of the amplifier are not blocked and
have at least ¼” of airspace. Also
make certain that heat sensitive
components such as cable boxes and
Blu-ray players are not directly on top
of the Pantages G4 amplifier.
For information regarding stacking of
units and ventilation, please see the
details on page 20.
Power –
If you really plan on rocking out
with pure sine wave test tones, you
ought to give this baby a dedicated
15 amp service. Otherwise, connect
to the same circuit as your fine
AudioControl theater processor. Also,
the ground pin on the power cord is
there for reason, never cut it off. If you
ever need to plug it into a two prong
plug, don’t.
Remote power control/12v Trigger –
There are 3 levels of power control of the
Pantages G4:
Main AC Power switch – This is the
master control of the amplifier and
must be turned on for the amplifier
to function. If you’re taking a long
vacation, then you might want to
turn this off, otherwise leave this on
and control the amplifier via the front
panel or the remote 12v control.
12V trigger – This rear panel TS 1/8” jack
is for connecting a triggered 12 volt
DC signal from an external control
system. The tip is hot and the sleeve is
the ground.
StandBy Button – That button on the
Pantages G4 front panel’s right side
– that’s the Standby Button. Press to
turn the unit on and press again to turn
the unit off. You still have to have the
Main AC Power switch for this Standby
Button to work.
