I have my 2x ZA3's operating in mono mode and both are connected using XLR cables. And yes you are correct, you just connect the Lt and Rt cables from your source to only the Rt inputs on each amp. In effect mirroring how a pair of rca's would be connected. As for the feed to your sub, I am not...

Definitely agree with a 12v trigger with pass through! But, in the mean time, if you leave your V3 Mono's in the on position and have them plugged into a smart plugboard, you can remotely control them by voice using Google home or Alexa. This is more or less how I control my current mono mode...

Yes, no tubes please. If it came with tubes I simply wouldn't buy it. But I would want a pair of RCA inputs as well as XLR inputs and outputs. This would allow me to connect my miniDSP 2x4 HD [RCA outs only] to those nice XLR inputs on the V3 Mono's.

Well, that's me all signed up for 2xV3 Mono's and 2x48v PSU's. What I need now is a matching, good quality, RCA to XLR line level converter box. Then my miniDSP 2x4HD - which only has 2V RCA outputs - could take advantage of the 4v XLR inputs on the Mono's. Addendum: I No longer have a need for...

Hi jeromeof, Nice pictures, breakdown and review. Thanks.

Hi Joqueval, I am at the stage now where I have ordered the parts needed: 2x12v 2amp mains transformers [2 amps to ensure that they run cold]. 2x3.5mm mono jack plugs [to replace the power plugs on the transformer outputs]. So now I cannot do any more until the ZA3's arrive. But I appreciate...

All good. (y)

Perhaps not! After a little research - and now that I know what an amplifier trigger is and does - I have found a way to make my trusty smart plugboard work for me. I plug my 2x ZA3's into the [four socket] board then I plug 2x12v psu's into the remaining two sockets and connect these to the...

Unfortunately, I have nothing anywhere in my audio chain to trigger the 12v interfaces [one on each ZA3] with. Looking online the only devices that seem up to the job are the Emotiva units. But the import taxes etc would, no doubt, be prohibitive.

Sadly I have felt it necessary to cancel my "early bird" order of two ZA3's because, with this implimentation of the on/off function [press and hold for two seconds], I cannot now use my voice activated smart plugboard to remotely turn the ZA3 on and off [as I can with my V3]. Can I then suggest...

Hi, and thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, moving the on/off switch to a toggle switch would work well with a smart plug board [just like the V3]. And having that switch entirely seperate from the volume dial would, I imagine, suit a lot of other users too. I just wander how long such a change...

Hi, I have just cancelled my order [on Amazon UK] for two of these ZA3's because I am unclear as to whether the method of turning the amps on and off will work for me! To clarify: when using my Fozi V3 - which has a latching on/off switch built into the volume control - I have it plugged into...
