Installation Guide

A performance theater begins to take shape the moment you first pull 
this unit from the box.  To make the installation of the Savoy as simple 
and easy as possible, please follow these steps to ensure amazing sound 
performance for years to come.  
As you remove the Savoy from the box, check the unit for damage that 
may have occurred during shipping.  AudioControl packs ‘em pretty 
securely, but it’s a vicious world out there and anything can happen 
between our factory in the Pacific Northwest and your installation.

Paperwork

Yes, filling out the warranty registration card is about as exciting as 
cleaning out your sock drawer, but AudioControl would definitely like 
the card back after you’ve hooked up the Savoy amplifier and played 
with it awhile. AudioControl employees read every card, and use the 
feedback you provide when designing new products or upgrading prod-
uct features.
Next, make a note of the serial number and keep it in a safe place. 
(Notice the space provided on the inside cover of this manual.) In the 
unlikely event that the Savoy amplifier ever needs servicing or an insur-
ance claim needs to be filed, the serial number is readily available.

Placement

The AudioControl Savoy amplifier is a very cool running amplifier 
thanks to its Class H topology.  However, the Savoy does need some 
breathing room to operate properly.  Make certain that the air vents on 
the top and bottom of the amplifier casing are not blocked and have at 
least ½” of air space.  It is also wise to avoid placing heat sensitive com-
ponents such as CD or DVD players directly on top of the Savoy.

Power

Before simply plugging the Savoy power cord into an outlet, give con-
sideration to how the Savoy will be integrated into the system.  The 3-
pronged power cord should be connected to a constant source of power 
with a solid ground.  Using a switched power source can cause compli-
cations in system integration, especially when the Savoy is activated by 
an RF signal.

To eliminate ground loop issues, plug all of the power for the system into 
a commonly grounded circuit.  A surge protector can also be a good idea.
