Hooking Up Your System
What you’ll need:
1.
The Architect
tm
Model 100 or Model 200.
2.
RCA audio hook-up cables.
3.
(Optional) A balanced line driver if you are going to mount
the Architect more than 20 feet from the preamp.
4.
Enough speaker wire to reach all of your speakers.
5.
Multi-zone controller, receiver, or preamplifier.
6.
Although you can set the speaker optimization controls by
ear, a real-time audio analyzer such as the AudioControl
Industrial SA-3052 is very helpful.
Installation: The Long
Version
What follows is a step-by-step guide to integrating the Archi-
tect Model 100 and Model 200 into your multi-zone system. If it
seems overly detailed, please forgive us. We would rather tell you
too much than too little.
First, check your new Architect for any shipping damage. We
pack ‘em pretty securely, but it’s a vicious world out there and
anything can happen twixt Mountlake Terrace, Washington and
your installation.
Paperwork
Yes, filling out the warranty registration card is about as
exciting as cleaning out your sock drawer, but we’d definitely like
the card back after you’ve hooked up the Architect and played
with it a while. We DO read each and every incoming card and
react to your suggestions. That’s how great products like this are
created.
Next, record the serial number on the sales receipt and make
certain the home owner puts it away in a safe place. Stashing the
receipt away is very important in the unlikely event that your
Architect ever needs servicing, or...well things do happen...you
need to prove to an insurance adjuster that something as great as
the Architect was installed in the system.
