ASANO A3
Installation Manual
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.
