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.
