Features
Here are some of the features that make
the Avalon G4 very unique, and unlike any
other amplier:
• CongurationFlexibility
With the Avalon G4, you have all the
prodigious power one could need
in an Atmos 4 channel amplier,
with all the exibility that comes
from AudioControl. With precision
Linkwitz-Riley crossovers and mono/
summed stereo pair operations,
you can set this bad boy up as a
2.1 amplier to run your highs
and a passive subwoofer (where
bridged, you can achieve 600 watts).
Even better for those who have a
hankering for power, set it up as a
dual monoblock which is a pair of 600
watt outputs! Nothing better!
• Built For The Long Haul
“Bulletproof” is the phrase that best
describes the Avalon G4. Everything
about this amplier is built for the
long haul, built for life! This amplier
has been designed with durability in
mind. The cool running Class H design
minimizes component-damaging
heat, while the Lightdrive system
protects your speakers from harmful
harmonics caused by clipping.
• Class H Design
Most ampliers have one speed, all
on. That means that during most of
music, up to 90% of the amp’s power
is just going up in heat. The Avalon
G4’s The Class H design takes care of
this problem by automatically and
intelligently adjusting the power
supply to t the power demands of
the moment.
• Lightdrive Protection System
The Lightdrive protection circuitry
defends this amplier like a momma
bear to her cubs - and defends
speakers against clipping, distortion,
damage, and annoying teenage
beach party movies, even if the
movie festival lasts all weekend. Each
channel is independently protected,
so a problem in one channel will not
aect the rest of the system.
• HighDenitionBiMOSOutput
Design
Home Theater audio systems place
terric demands on power ampliers.
The high current drive capabilities of
our BiMOS outputs cleanly delivers a
minimum of 230 watts into 4 ohms,
while maintaining a cool performance
method that smells great too!
• Unparalleledenergyeciency
Whether from the point of view
of saving electricity or from the
viewpoint of less heat in the rack,
this amplier has no equal. It is VERY
energy ecient during operation.
• MadeintheNorthwestRainforest
The AudioControl Avalon G4s began
their existence at our factory in
Mountlake Terrace, Washington, a
few miles north of Seattle. Here, we
also build precision test instruments,
equalizers and analyzers and a totally
awesome line of car stereo compo-
nents. AudioControl started in 1977
and has won so many audio industry
awards for design and engineering
excellence that our reception room
wall is starting to sag.
