    AudioControl Delivers Power!

    New Seven Channel Theater Amplifier Raises The Bar

    By Gary Reber

    AudioControl, the U.S. based designer and manufacturer of high performance audio components, announces the addition of their most powerful theater amplifier to date, the new seven-channel Savoy G3.  Designed to stimulate enthusiasts both audibly and visually, the Savoy G3 combines AudioControl’s legendary audio performance with a highly stylish cosmetic design.  The high power levels of the Savoy G3 allows it to be an active participant in even the most demanding theater systems.

    The Savoy G3 is a seven-channel amplifier that incorporates a unique and highly efficient Class H design.  This allows it to produce over 200 watts per into each channel, all channels driven, at an 8-ohm load, or almost 1500 watts total audio output. Designed as a matching companion to AudioControl’s new Maestro M3 theater pre-amp processor, the Savoy G3 incorporates a simple yet elegant design. Highlighted by refined Rose Gold lettering on a high gloss black display, the sleek front panel is also accentuated by “cool blue” LED indicators that compliment the exquisite cosmetics of the
    Savoy G3.

    “AudioControl theater amplifiers have long had a best- in-class reputation as being highly efficient and offering tremendous sound quality,” commented Chris Kane from AudioControl. “The huge power levels of the new Savoy G3 make it an exciting addition to our line-up of theater amplifiers. Additionally, the cosmetics of Savoy G3 are spectacular”.              

    The Class-H design topology of the Savoy G3 provides increased efficiency and bullet-proof reliability, while reducing heat and unnecessary power dissipation. This design results in superior energy efficiency and is used in several other award-winning AudioControl amplifiers including recipients of the CES Innovations and the Electronic House Product Of The Year awards. The Savoy G3 incorporates AudioControl’s LightDrive Anti-Clipping Protection Circuit, which safely eliminates any possibility of speaker-damaging clipping and distortion, even in extreme conditions. Audio enthusiasts can enjoy their audio systems at even the most aggressive levels.

    In addition to pristine audio performance, the Savoy G3
    sports desirable user features like balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, Remote Power Control triggers and audiophile grade, five-way binding posts to guarantee the optimum connection of speaker level signals.

    The Savoy G3 will begin shipping Spring 2010 and has a suggested client selling price of $3000.

    Reason #83 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it’s simply one of the most intelligent sources of A/V information, both in terms of format and content. Product reviews are honest and thorough. I humbly admit that for the last two years I have been borrowing my brother-in-laws' copies of WSR when he was finished reading them. I am now happy to report that as of last week, I am an official subscriber of WSR and will be for many years to come. I have not been in the Custom A/V industry very long (two years), but I have spent the last 12 years in the computer and networking world, and I know thoughtful, well-sourced copy when I read it. I have come to trust WSR's reviews as a benchmark from which I form many opinions. The hard work of each reviewer makes each of us who reads it a much more credible source of information for our clients. A mentor of mine once told me that no one person has all the answers. The trick is knowing who you should listen to, and WSR has proved itself worthy month after month.
