     Sensitivity Switch – The Savoy provides three input sensitivity set- tings to level match the inputs of the Savoy with the outputs of your theater processor. AudioControl recommends setting “C” because it provides the greatest protection and noise reduction. Setting “B” is the standard (consult your theater processor or source unit manual to determine if output voltage is THX rated).

  • Page 17 Subtle Plug for other AudioControl Products The Savoy is a fantastic amplifier. But even fantastic amplifiers in a poor system are disappointing, which is why AudioControl’s Perfection Home Theater family of products includes amplifiers, pre-amps, and proces- sors. The Maestro M2 pre-amp processor is a fantastic match for the Savoy amplifier, both cosmetically and acoustically.
