Troubleshooting the Architect
Almost all problems can be eliminated by re-checking the
wiring and settings of the Architect amplifier. If a problem cannot
be solved using the guide below, please call the AudioControl
factory for further assistance.
1. No Sound:
a. Verify the Power LED is Blue.
b. Verify Protection LED is Blue.
c. Verify Channel Status LED is Blue.
d. Verify Source unit is operating.
e. Check the Speaker Connector plug on the rear panel
f. Check the AC Power Fuse on the rear panel.
2. Protection LED is Blue, but none of the Channel
2. Status LEDs are on:
a. Defeat the Signal-Sense circuit using switch on the
rear panel. All of the Channel Status LEDs should
turn on. If they do not, call the AudioControl factory.
b. Verify Source unit is operating.
c. Adjust the preamp volume higher.
d. Adjust the Input Sensitivity control clockwise.
3. Channel Status LED is Red:
a. Check speaker leads for short. Swap speaker connec-
tors on rear to see if the problem moves with the
wires.
b. If the Architect is excessively hot (you cannot hold
your hand on the top), turn down the volume and
allow it to cool off. The Status LED should turn back
to Blue after a short while. Verify that the ventila-
tion holes on the rear and sides have not become
blocked.
c. The speaker impedance may be too low.
