VSSL A.3

The VSSL A.3 audio streaming hub is one of a kind: no need for yet another dedicated app to control it! Thanks to the “Native Streaming” technology used by VSSL (compatible with AirPlay, Google Cast and Spotify Connect), you can use one of your favorite apps (Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Tidal, Youtube, Audible, etc.) to directly play, control and distribute 3 music streams to 3 different zones simultaneously. In practice, almost any web content or music app can be used and played through the 3 available streams.

Control is done using any device connected to the network (computer, smartphone, tablet running iOS, Android or Windows), but also via Google Home for voice control! Ask it to play your Deezer or Spotify favorites and it will do so immediately!

In addition to the 3 audio streams available, the A.3 hub also has 3 RCA inputs allowing you to connect up to 3 “physical” sources, each of which can be played locally in its zone. A “Party Mode” is of course present and can very easily include the number of zones of your choice, and importantly, without leaving your favorite music app! Extension of the number of zones via the In/Out bus.

All your Music!

It is also possible to stream audio files stored on UPNP, DLNA, NAS server, etc. devices via an app such as: “mconnect Player” or VLC. In the case of “mconnect”, the player also knows how to read files contained in a Dropbox folder, so accessible from everywhere!

And that’s not all! Thanks to Airplay, listening to music stored on your Mac is a breeze and it’s even possible to configure your Apple TV so that the audio signal from a video is played on your speakers through the VSSL system!

The A.3 hub is made up of the highest quality components available and features high-power circuits delivering 50 W per channel. Its speaker outputs, equipped with automatic protection circuits, accept 8 or 4 ohm speakers.
