Cool Running Class H Topology - Distributed audio systems can
place terrific demands on a home's AC power. Sometimes just a little
brownout can cause an amplifier to pull enough current to blow the
house circuit breaker. Even when they're running properly, most ampli-
fiers put out enough heat to make any air conditioning system sweat.
AudioControl takes care of these problems with our patented (US Pat-
ent #5,708,577) power supply regulation and Class-H amplifier design.
Both of these features combine to create one of the most reliable and
efficient audio amplifiers available. Higher efficiency means a cooler
running amplifier. The advanced power supply regulation also mini-
mizes circuit breaker-popping in-rush currents.
Built For The Long Haul – The Architect™ Model 1100 Series
are designed with durability in mind. Our exclusive LightDrive anti-
clipping protection circuitry defends The Architect™ and your speakers
against clipping, distortion, damage, and even teenage parties, even if
the party lasts all weekend. Each channel pair is independently protect-
ed so a problem in one channel will not affect the rest of the system.
Specially-Designed Equalization Controls – (Models 1160 and
1161) The equalization circuit is intended to provide a dramatic sound
improvement for "small" speakers, such as those with 6-inch and
8-inch woofers. The Architect's 75Hz, 250Hz, 700Hz, 2500Hz and
12KHz band centers were chosen to optimize in-wall and 2-way book-
shelf speakers at critical frequencies where adjustment is most advan-
tageous. The bandwidths (or 'Q' as our engineering types call it) have
also been optimized for the difficulties that in-wall speakers present.
This allows The Architect™ Model 1160 Series to improve the sound
of these smaller speakers better than any other equalizer.
Subsonic Filter – The Architect's subsonic filter circuitry is a bass-
blocking 18dB/octave 38 Hz filter which protects small speakers and
improves their overall sound. It gives small woofers only those fre-
quencies they can reproduce by "chopping off" bass below 40Hz. The
woofer is protected and can do a better job of reproducing mid-bass
and higher frequencies.
Ethernet Network Compatible – (Model 1161) The power of the
Internet is built into the Architect. This internal web server provides
remote service diagnostic capabilities and enables the system integrator
to control this amplifier via Ethernet.
Made in the Northwest Rainforest – The Architect™ Model
1100 Series began their existence at our factory in Mountlake Terrace,
Washington, a few miles north of Seattle. Here, we also build precision
test instruments, equalizers, analyzers and a totally awesome line of car
stereo components. 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. But enough about us, let's start
getting the most from the audio system!
