Features
Here are some of the features that make
the Avalon G4 very unique, and unlike any
other amplier:
• CongurationFlexibility
With the Avalon G4, you have all the
prodigious power one could need
in an Atmos 4 channel amplier,
with all the exibility that comes
from AudioControl. With precision
Linkwitz-Riley crossovers and mono/
summed stereo pair operations,
you can set this bad boy up as a
2.1 amplier to run your highs
and a passive subwoofer (where
bridged, you can achieve 600 watts).
Even better for those who have a
hankering for power, set it up as a
dual monoblock which is a pair of 600
watt outputs! Nothing better!
• Built For The Long Haul
“Bulletproof” is the phrase that best
describes the Avalon G4. Everything
about this amplier is built for the
long haul, built for life! This amplier
has been designed with durability in
mind. The cool running Class H design
minimizes component-damaging
heat, while the Lightdrive system
protects your speakers from harmful
harmonics caused by clipping.
• Class H Design
Most ampliers have one speed, all
on. That means that during most of
music, up to 90% of the amp’s power
is just going up in heat. The Avalon
G4’s The Class H design takes care of
this problem by automatically and
intelligently adjusting the power
supply to t the power demands of
the moment.
• Lightdrive Protection System
The Lightdrive protection circuitry
defends this amplier like a momma
bear to her cubs - and defends
speakers against clipping, distortion,
damage, and annoying teenage
beach party movies, even if the
movie festival lasts all weekend. Each
channel is independently protected,
so a problem in one channel will not
aect the rest of the system.
• HighDenitionBiMOSOutput
Design
Home Theater audio systems place
terric demands on power ampliers.
The high current drive capabilities of
our BiMOS outputs cleanly delivers a
minimum of 230 watts into 4 ohms,
while maintaining a cool performance
method that smells great too!
• Unparalleledenergyeciency
Whether from the point of view
of saving electricity or from the
viewpoint of less heat in the rack,
this amplier has no equal. It is VERY
energy ecient during operation.
• MadeintheNorthwestRainforest
The AudioControl Avalon G4s began
their existence at our factory in
Mountlake Terrace, Washington, a
few miles north of Seattle. Here, we
also build precision test instruments,
equalizers and analyzers and a totally
awesome line of car stereo compo-
nents. AudioControl started in 1977
and has won so many audio industry
awards for design and engineering
excellence that our reception room
wall is starting to sag.
