Ò Bus Select Switches – The switches below each

zone’s local input jacks select the input source for

that amplier zone. If the switch is in the “Local”

position, the zone receives audio signals from the

local input. If the switch is in “Bus 1” or “Bus 2”,

audio signals come from the appropriate “Bus”

inputs. Whenever a Bus Input is selected, the zone

input can be remotely triggered to the local input

using the 12 volt Local Trigger input (see #6 on

previous page).

Ó Local Inputs - These unbalanced RCA inputs

connect to your preamplier’s outputs. Any stan-

dard line level audio signal can be connected to

these inputs.

AC Power Fuse -

The Architect is designed with

several layers of protection circuitry. The main AC

power fuse is here just in case something really

awful goes wrong. There are no internal fuses in

this amp.

Power Cord

The Architect™ draws a maximum

of 1600 watts at full power. Make certain that it

is plugged directly into the wall outlet or a power

strip with sufcient power rating. Since the Archi-

tect has remote power switching, you should plug

the unit into an AC outlet that is always active.

Master Power Switch

- This switch shuts off the

main AC power. Normally the only time you need

to turn the master power switch off is if the system

is going to be shut down for an extended period of

time.

Remote Power Control

- This three pin connector

allows you to remotely turn on the Architect. You

can either use a contact closure between the Trigger

In and the +12V output or an external 12 volt trig-

ger between the Control In and Ground terminals.

The +12 volt output is not designed to power other

pieces of equipment.

Ground Lift Switch

– This switch selects the

level of isolation between the audio signal ground

and your AC earth ground. In normal operation

this switch should be in the Ground position, but if

you run into trouble with an AC ground hum, try

the other two settings for the best operation. For

your safety, the chassis is always connected to the

earth ground regardless of the switch setting.

Remote Power control (1/8” jacks) - These mono

1/8” jacks are wired parallel to each other and

work in conjunction with the 3-pin remote power

connector. Either 1/8” input can receive a 12-volt

trigger which will turn-on your Architect amplier.

This will then allow the unused jack to output 12

volts that can be used to turn-on a second ampli-

er. If your using the 3-pin connector to trigger

the Architect, both of the 1/8” jacks can provide

output trigger
