Design and Features

ASAP3D SE STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER

Automatic House/Local Source Switching

The ASAP3D SE will automatically switch a pair of speakers between two different input sources. Typically, the House source will be a whole-home audio system that normally plays in the area, and the Local source will be a nearby source, such as a TV set. The ASAP3D SE can be set up so that any one of several different triggers will cause it to auto- matically switch from the House source to the Local source.

A typical application would be to use the ASAP3D SE to power and automatically switch a pair of speakers in a bedroom from playing background music sent by a whole- home audio system to playing the sound of the bedroom TV whenever the TV is switched ON. With the amplifier’s Mono Variable Output feeding a local-zone powered subwoofer, this installation would provide much better sound quality than the TV could supply on its own.

Flexible Triggering

Switching from the House to the Local source can be triggered in four different ways:

•By the presence of an audio signal at the LOCAL LINE inputs or LOCAL SPEAKER inputs;

•When a TV set that is connected to the ASAP3D SE’s AC Outlet is turned ON;

• By an external control voltage connected to the VOLTAGE TRIGGER input;

• By an IR controller connected to the IR Input.

IR Control

The ASAP3D SE has IR Input connections that allow its automatic input switching, volume, muting and BBE to be controlled by an IR keypad controller. IR Output connections allow the connection of Sonance OptiLinQ® IR emitters so that 3rd-party control signals can be passed-through to their intended components, and an IR Bus connection allows IR signals from multiple ASAP3D SEs to be passed-through to a single set of IR emitters.

BBE® Sound Enhancement

The ASAP3D SE incorporates BBE® Sound Enhancement. The BBE process improves the presence and detail of speakers, especially at lower listening volumes, so distributed audio systems playing background music sound better at quiet volume levels. BBE also restores clarity and definition (or focus) to spoken voices, making paging systems easier to understand without having to run them at high volumes.

The ASAP3D SE has controls that let you set the BBE enhancement to HI, LOW or OFF.

Digital Amplification

The ASAP3D SE utilizes a highly-efficient ICEpower® digital amplifier that provides 50 watts RMS per channel in stereo. The ICEpower’s high efficiency produces high power in a 1U high/½ rack width package, with very little heat generation. This expands installation options, improves long-term reliability and provides significant energy savings over conventional amplifier designs.
