Architect P800 8-Channel Multi-Zone High-Power Amplifier (Espresso Black)

The box was opened for an install but ended up not being used. The unit has never been used and is in new condition.

8 Channels of High Power

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

The P800 uses a cool running proprietary design, including AudioControl’s
LightDrive anti-clipping protection and features input-busing capability, output
pass-thru, master 12V trigger in/out plus local 12V trigger inputs on all zones,
signal-sensing, as well as coax SPDIF inputs for digital sources.

Available in a robust black powder coat finish, the Architect Model P800 is
designed, engineered, and manufactured at AudioControl’s manufacturing
facilities located in Seattle, USA. The Architect ‘P’ series comes with
AudioControl’s legendary 5-year warranty and is available exclusively to the
residential custom install and pro audio markets through AudioControl authorized
dealers.
