The Architect Series

Product Highlights

Here is a list of features that are part of the Architect series from

AudioControl and make these very unique products unlike

any other ampliers.

• Superior Sound Quality; Pristine sonics happens rst in all

AudioControl designs and is not compromised by any other

feature. You often get the feeling that sound quality is an after

thought with products from other companies.

• Unparalleled Energy Eciency; Whether from the point of view

of saving electricity or from the viewpoint of less heat in the rack,

the Architect ampliers have no equal. They are VERY energy

ecient during operation and equally impressive with their

eciency during standby. During standby, these units draw less

than 1 watt of power.

• Speaker Equalization; The equalization circuit in the Architect

is intended to provide a dramatic sound improvement for “small”

speakers, such as those with 6-inch and 8-inch woofers. The

Architect’s equalization centers were chosen to optimize in-wall

and 2-way bookshelf speakers at critical frequencies where adjust-

ment is most advantageous. The bandwidths (or ‘Q’ as engineering

types call it) have been optimized for the diculties that in-wall

speakers present. This allows the Architect to improve the sound of

these smaller speakers better than any other equalizer.

• LightDrive Anti-clipping; With durability in mind, AudioControl’s

LightDrive anti-clipping protection defends the system against

clipping, distortion, damage and even teenage parties.

• Self Resetting Protection Features; Protection features are

extensive and include thermal, short circuit, clipping, ultrasonic

and DC oset among others. If the fault is removed, the Architect

amplier resets.

• Ethernet Control; (Available on Models 1281 EQ, 1261, 1681 EQ

and 1661.) Via a browser or Telnet commands you can control and

query almost all the functions. You can mute zones, change source

inputs, display protection logs and get an email if something goes

wrong. And this is only a partial list!

• Pacic Northwest Heritage; Hard to believe, but we make this

product in the USA. We are very proud of that fact. What is more

important to you is the care we craft in at every step and the exten-

sive knowledge we have in all aspects of the product. Plus, we back

this up with a ve year warranty.
