Seattle, WA. October 11th, 2012  – AudioControl today announced the launch of its new series of Architectural amplifiers. AudioControl’s ‘Architect’ line of multi-channel amplifiers provides authoritative power, pristine sonics and installer-friendly equalization controls without sacrificing valuable rack space. The new Architect models are designed for any whole-house audio system that demands high levels of audio performance squeezing 12 or 16 channels of cool running, great sounding, high power amplification into just three space efficient rack spaces.

AudioControl’s new Architect amplifiers come in four primary models:

• Architect 1680 EQ – 16 Channel amplifier with speaker equalization
• Architect 1660 – 16 Channel amplifier (without speaker equalization)
• Architect 1280 EQ – 12 Channel amplifier with speaker equalization
• Architect 1260 – 12 Channel amplifier (without speaker equalization)

The Architect Model 1680 EQ and Model 1280 EQ combine AudioControl’s award winning features, including zone equalization, bussable inputs and LightDrive™ anti-clipping circuitry, into one compact chassis. With power output levels of at least 65 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, and even more into lower impedances, AudioControl sets the industry standard for high performance multi-zone audio amplification, also achieving less than 1 watt in standby mode, meeting stringent energy requirements around the world.
