Description
Asano P4a is a networked 4-zone amplifier, each zone output powered with 2x125 W amplifiers. It can connect 3
analogue audio input sources.
Asano P4a can only be used in combination with S4. The S4’s integrated KNX control allows you to integrate the Asano
P4a in a KNX system.
LED feedback
The Asano P4a front panel has a feedback LED which indicates following statuses:
• Blue: standby mode
• White: at least one output zone amplifier is active.
• Red flashing: device failure detected related to power supply or amplifier.
• Purple flashing: digital clipping or issues with the audio network.

How to install
1 Dedicated audio network
Connect Asano P4a to the audio network using Ethernet
CAT5e cable. The network has to be a dedicated network
separated from your local data network.
2 Inputs
There are 3 analogue stereo inputs available. The
analogue inputs can be connected through RCA
connectors, both le (white colour) and right (red colour)
for stereo.
3 Loudspeaker outputs
The 4 amplified zone outputs need to be connected on a
separate connector per zone.
The connectors are dismountable from the unit. Each
cable can be connected through screw terminals allowing
a cable connection up to 2.5mm².
4 Bridged mode
The outputs of the P4a can be used in bridge mode. This
mode is used to combine the power of the le and right
channel delivering 450W at 4Ohm for each bridged output.
Bridged gives a choice between bridged (L + R), mono
bridged le and mono bridged right.
5 Power supply
The Asano P4a has to be powered by a Euro mains power
lead with a 230V AC input.
Do not unplug the connector at this side with voltage
present.
