A-K3 Overview

The Russound A-K3 is an in-wall amplified keypad used

with A-BUS hubs and controllers in a distributed audio

system. It can be used with both single- and multi-source

A-BUS hubs/controllers. The A-K3 provides source selec-

tion and control with backlit push buttons, plus an IR

window to receive remote control signals.

The volume up/down buttons control the speakers in

the room that are connected to the A-K3. Typical installa

tions place one A-K3 in each room of the A-BUS system.

The Line Out connection on the A-K3 can be used to

feed a separate powered subwoofer or to connect an

external amplifier for more power to a larger listening

area.

A-K3 Key Features

• Power On/Off button (acts as source select with

multi-source hubs/controllers)

• Volume trims for L/R balance and maximum level

settings

• Built-in IR receiver with IR confirmation LED

• IR control of settings and sources via A-LRC2 optional

remote

• Line Out connection for external amp or powered

subwoofer

A-K3 Speciﬁcations

Input Impedance: 10 kohms

Power Requirements: +24VDC 660mA peak

CAT-5 Connections: RJ45

Dimensions (in-wall): 1.75”W x 2.875”H x 1.75”D

(45x73x45mm)

Weight: 5.5oz. (160g)

5 Source Mode Jumper for Single/Multisource

The single/multisource jumpers set the A-K3 to be used

with either single- or multi-source A-BUS hubs/control-

lers. The jumpers and pins are located under the face

plate on the right side of the keypad (facing front).

The pins are jumpered to select between 1, 4 and 6

sources. 1 source = no jumper; 4 sources = top two pins

jumpered; 6 sources = bottom two pins jumpered.

6 Gain Control for Maximum Levels

The two rotary trim potentiometers on the side of the

A-K3 provide adjustment of audio gain. These are used to

set the maximum allowable volume for the left and right

speakers connected to the A-K3.

7 Keypad Connection to A-C68 Controller

Each keypad connects to a Keypad Output port on the

back of the A-C68 controller. Connections are made using

CAT-5 cable with an RJ45 connector.

The Keypad Ports are located on the back of the A-C68

on the left. Connections at the Keypad Ports are made

with RJ45 connectors using T568A CAT-5 wire configura

tion. CAT-5 cable length should be no longer than 150

feet from controller to keypad.

If used in a system with A-K5L keypads, when connecting

A-K3 keypads to the A-C68, the keypad dip switches on

the controller’s front programming center must be set in

the UP position. Dip switches correspond to numbered

keypad ports.

If used in a A-C68 system with no A-K5L keypads, set the

keypad dip switches in the UP position.

For a clean installation when wiring from a Keypad Port,

use an RJ45 CAT-5 patch cable to connect from the key-

pad port to an RJ-45 wall plate (optional). Using the same

RJ45 T568A CAT-5 wiring configuration, use CAT-5 from

the RJ45 wall plate to the keypad.

8 Installation

Check all connections and test the system’s operation

before installing the A-K3 into the wall. Using the includ-

ed hardware, install the A-K3 into a standard UL/CSA

single-gang electrical J-box.

1 RJ45 Connector for CAT-5 Connection

The RJ45 input provides a connection for the CAT-5 cable

from an A-BUS hub/controller to receive an audio signal,

passthrough IR and power over the CAT-5 cable. Use the

T568A wiring standard. The recommended maximum

length for standard CAT-5 cable is 150 feet.

Before connecting the A-K3, disconnect the power sup

ply from the A-BUS hub/controller and disconnect the

Status power supply if used.

2 Line Out Connector for External Ampliﬁcation

The Line Out provides a variable line-level audio output

connection for an external amplifier or powered sub-

woofer. An amplifier provides more power to a large

listening area, and a powered subwoofer adds extended

bass response.

Use 22AWG four conductor, two-pair twisted shielded

cable to connect to the Left positive (+) and negative (-),

and Right positive (+) and negative (-) screw down termi

nals on the back of the A-K3.

Terminate the four conductor two-twisted pair shielded

cable to the rear solder lugs of a wall plate fitted with

two RCA jacks on its front. Terminate the shield at the

Right negative (-) or Left negative (-) ring of the solder

lugs. RCA cables can be used to connect the amp or sub

woofer to the wall place for audio signal feed.

3 Speaker Output Connector for Speakers

The Speaker Output connections provide speaker-level

audio output for a pair of 8-ohm speakers. The screw-

down terminals accepts up to 16 gauge speaker wire.

4 Status Jumper for Status LED Enable/Disable

The Status option provides visual indication when source

equipment is powered on. With this option enabled, the

status LED shows green on the keypad when the system

is on (keypad can be on or off).

To enable the Status LED, locate the status pins on the

right side of the keypad under the faceplate. Place the

status jumper over the bottom two pins to enable the

status LED.

Note: Amplified keypads are shipped with the Status LED

option disabled (default).

Status function and operation:

When the source is powered on, the Status circuit is

green. This indicates to the user that the source is on and

ready to receive remote control commands.

When the source is powered off (remotely or manually),

it shuts off the 12VDC Status power connected to it, and

turns off all the interfaces connected to the controller

(green LED off).
