Doing The Deed

Before proceeding on to setting up the Speaker Optimization

controls on the Architect, it’s a good idea to make sure that you
have everything connected and working properly.

1.

Double-check all connections. Make certain that all of the
audio and speaker connections are firmly seated and tight-
ened down.

2.

Turn on your audio system. The Power LED on the Architect
should be Red, the Protection LED should be Green and
(unless you have defeated the Signal-Sense) the Channel
Status LEDs should be off.

3.

Start one of the audio sources playing and send that signal to
the Architect (how you do this depends on your particular
multi-room system). The zone status LED should illuminate
Green approximately one second after the music begins.

4.

Check each speaker output zone to ensure that each one
plays properly.

5.

With all the speaker loads turned on, turn up the volume and
make certain that the channel status LEDs on the Architect
stay green. If they slowly toggle between green and amber,
then there is either a short in the speaker wiring, or the
combined speaker load is too low.

6.

Congratulations! You’re ready to go on to setting the
Speaker Optimization controls.

Note: For the absolutely

best results, The speaker

optimizer controls on the

adjusted with a real time analyzer
