12-Channel High-Power Multi-Zone Amplifier

 The Architect ‘P’ Series superbly complements AudioControl’s popular high-power Architect multi-zone amplifier series, delivering 100 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms and 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms, all channels driven.

12 channels of high-power amplification are output from the compact 2 U chassis, with the Architect P260 delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms, all channels driven. Channel bridging increases power to a remarkable 400 watts into 8 ohms. Benefitting from 35 years of proprietary AudioControl cool-running amplifier design, the Architect P2260 is equipped with features like input bussing, output pass-through, global 12 VDC trigger in/out with local 12 VDC trigger inputs for all zones, and input signal sensing on/off. Bus A includes a coaxial S/PDIF input for a digital source. Amplifier channels and connected loudspeakers are protected by AudioControl’s fast-acting LightDrive anti-clipping circuitry. 

Available in a robust black powder coat finish, the Architect Model P2280 is designed, engineered, and manufactured at AudioControl facilities located in Seattle, USA. The Architect ‘P’ series is covered by AudioControl’s legendary 5-year warranty and is available exclusively to the residential, custom install, and Pro Audio markets through AudioControl authorized dealers.
