Description
The Asano A3 is a networked 3-zone stereo output module that allows connecting up to 3 zones (1 digital S/PDIF and
2 analogues) of third party amplifiers or active speakers with the Asano system.
The two analogue zones are connected with RJ45 outputs, which are compatible with B&O RJ45 Power Link cables. The
RJ45 outputs can be converted to standard RCA connectors using the optional A3 Audio Splitter (718-01).
Every zone has a separate trigger output to switch on and off the external amplifier or active speaker.
The Asano A3 is able to connect two input sources, 1 digital S/PDIF and 1 analogue.
The Asano A3 is completely configured and controlled with KNX, and connects to the Asano system using
the CobraNet network.
How to start-up
After initial power-up, the Asano A3 needs to be configured using ETS.
For more information, please refer to the manual.
LED feedback
There is one LED mounted in the front of the Asano A3 as a visual feedback. Through different colours, a status
feedback will be defined:
• White: at least one output zone is active
• Blue: standby mode (no output active, CobraNet interface active)
• Blue (on a low brightness): sleep mode (no output active, CobraNet interface not active)
