Description
Asano M3 is a networked multi zone amplifier that allows connecting up to 4 zones. The 2 amplified zones can be
configured as 2 stereo zones or 4 mono zones. The loudspeaker zones can also be bridged to provide a powerful stereo
zone. Additionally there is a digital S/PDIF output that allows connecting a third party amplifier or active speakers with
the Asano system.
M3 can only be used in combination with S4 and is fully controlled over the audio network. The S4’s integrated KNX
control allows you to integrate the Asano M3 in a KNX system.
