Native Streaming – The New Way to Play Music 

VSSL’s products utilize a revolutionary streaming technology known as Native Streaming™. Native Streaming allows you to easily command your home audio by controlling the selected zones and volume control through your preferred music or audio playing app. This means you can play music from Spotify, Pandora, or YouTube, select where in your home you wish to hear it, and adjust volume levels without leaving the selected app or using a physical remote control or third-party app. This gives you a seamless and simple home audio experience unlike any other. 

After initial setup using the Google Home and VSSL apps, all you have to do is connect to your home Wi-Fi, open your favorite audio app, choose which zone to play in, and your music will immediately begin playing. You don’t have to open those two apps again except for audio equalizing and reconfiguring zones. No device syncing like with Bluetooth, and no login ID or passwords necessary, aside from your home Wi-Fi password. You can change which audio zones to play on the fly, and cast to three devices to three different audio zones at the same time. You can even cast from three audio apps in three different zones at the same time, from one device. 

Built-In Compatibility with All Virtual Assistants 

The A.3X Home Audio Streaming System features native integration with Google Home and Google Assistant, along with compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri voice assistants. A.3X multi-room audio distribution system can be completely controlled by your voice through your virtual assistants. 

Convenient, Advanced Controls Through the VSSL App 

Use the VSSL app to set and adjust audio quality, volume settings, zone configuration, and page announcements with recorded audio. You can set volume limits for individual or all zones, adjust EQ settings, and mirror any preferred settings across other selected zones or for the whole system. The VSSL app also allows you to record one-time audio messages that you can send to individual or multiple zones. Tell your kids to come down for dinner, or ask your family to bring up your laundry through your home audio system. 

With multiple VSSL products or pre-existing audio systems, you can create pre-set groups that are separate from the normal zones. These groups, or party zones, allow you to select multiple zones to play audio in one easy button press. These party groups don’t overwrite your existing audio zones, so you don’t have to worry about resetting your original zones once the party is over.

Installation Details 

The VSSL A.3X provides local inputs used to connect this audio matrix to your home audio system. The A.3X can be placed on a flat surface or mounted onto a standard 19-inch equipment rack (rack ears included, requires 2U space). To connect to your home audio system, connect all phoenix connectors and auxiliary cables to the matrix. 

The audio distribution matrix is primarily designed for use with 4/8-ohm third-party speakers (sold separately), which wire into the phoenix connectors on the back of the matrix using size 14-20 gauge speaker wire. Each of the 3 zones supports 1 pair of speakers (1 left-channel speaker, 1 right-channel speaker). In addition to supporting wire-in speakers, the matrix also optionally supports an external amplifier system (such as a home theater receiver, powered subwoofer, or passive subwoofer with separate amplifier), which connects to the bus output on the matrix. 

External audio inputs can also be connected, allowing you to distribute audio from any RCA analog source, such as a satellite TV box. 

The A.3X requires an ethernet cable (sold separately) to include the A.3X into your home network. Once the A.3X is added to your network, set up your A.3X with the Google Home App and the VSSL App for iOS and Android. First, select and set up your zones with the Google Home App. Then, adjust audio balancing, volume limits and EQ settings using the VSSL app. After the initial set up is complete, select an audio app, press the Cast button, select a zone, and begin your new home audio experience. 

Optional Third-Party System Integration 

The A.3X’s open API, customizable drivers, and Google Home compatibility make it easy to add to home automation systems. You can add the A.3X to any Google Home compatible automation system to remotely turn on and off the device. 

VSSL is designed to provide consistent performance and stability. The A.3X is built with high-power circuitry, 50 watts per channel, and audio outputs at 8 and 4 ohms for high quality and long-lasting sound.
