Placement –
The AudioControl Avalon G4 is a very
cool running amplier. 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 amplier after
all. Make certain that the air vents at
the top and bottom of the amplier
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 Avalon G4
amplier.
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 ne Audio-
Control theater processor. Also, the
ground pin on the power cord is there
for reason, never cut it o. 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
Avalon G4:
MainACPowerswitch–This is the
master control of the amplier and
must be turned on for the amplier to
function. If you’re taking a long vaca-
tion, then you might want to turn this
o, otherwise leave this on and control
the amplier 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
Avalon G4 front panel’s right side –
that’s the Standby Button. Press to
turn the unit on and press again to turn
the unit o. You still have to have the
Main AC Power switch for this Standby
Button to work.
