A Guided Tour of The Savoy

Front Panel

 

Standby Button – The Standby button manually toggles the Savoy 

between normal operation and standby (when “Master Power” switch 
located on the rear panel is ON).  It will override the rear panel remote 
12 volt trigger, but normal operation will resume when the trigger input 
is cycled.

 

Display Button – The display button allows you to toggle between 

three display settings for the Channel Level Indicators on the front of 
the Savoy.  “Off” will turn off the channel level indicators.  “Low” (as in-
dicated by the Range Setting LED) allows the Channel Level Indicators to 
dance when playing at moderate listening levels (think Elton John con-
cert).  “High” (as indicated by the Range Setting LED) allows the Channel 
Level Indicators to dance when the Savoy is playing at high levels (think 
Metallica).

 

Channel Status LEDs – These blue LED’s indicate that the associated 

channel is active and functioning properly.  

 

Channel Level Indicators – Indicate activity and power output for 

each channel.

 

Protection Indicators – This red LED illuminates to indicate that a 

channel has gone into protection mode.

 

Range Setting LEDs – There are two range settings that regulate 

movement of the Channel Level Indicators (See “Display Button” opera-
tion). “Low” will provide more LED dancing action at moderate listening 
levels while “High” keeps the LED dance floor clear until volumes reach 
the upper echelon.  Neither option effects amplifier  
performance.

 

Rack Mounting (Optional) – Allows the Savoy to be  

mounted in an equipment rack.
