Full text manual (for reference)
Setup and installation guide for the Channel Vision ARIA A0325 Audio Streaming Source Receiver — a Bluetooth 4.2 streaming module for whole-home ARIA Audio systems, covering pairing, wiring, and multi-room installation.
Overview
- Model: A0325 — ARIA Audio Streaming Source Receiver with built-in Bluetooth 4.2 module
- Streams music from smartphones, tablets, computers, and Bluetooth devices (e.g. Amazon Alexa) into an ARIA Audio system
- Features "deep sleep" power-saving mode, customized zone naming, security code settings, and a property-management app reset control
- Melody 3D surround sound and bass boost audio enhancements via the ARIA Audio app
- Operating range: up to 147 ft in ideal line-of-sight; reduced by walls, concrete, and RF interference
Getting Started
- Open your phone's Bluetooth settings and connect to the ARIA Audio receiver, identified by the "ARIA Audio" name.
- By factory default there is no password — any device can pair while in "OPEN" mode, indicated by 2 LEDs flashing on the front of the A0325.
- Once paired, a slow green LED flashes every 3 seconds. Open your music app (Pandora, Spotify, etc.) and play.
- For systems with multiple A0325 units or nearby neighbor systems, rename your device and enable the security access code to prevent accidental cross-connections.
Operation & Indicators
- 2 LEDs flashing: ARIA is "OPEN" for any user to pair
- Green LED slow flash (every 3s): a user is connected and can play music
- Power LED solid: contact Channel Vision support
- Auto-reconnect on entering the room can be toggled on/off in the app
- Each user's phone must set up the app once to connect to the A0325 — the phone is remembered thereafter
- Using the A0325 with a non-ARIA stereo receiver/amplifier may require L & R output — see model A0305 or A0326 for that use case
Mobile App Pairing Steps
- Download the "ARIA Audio by Channel Vision" app from the Android or iOS store.
- Open the app and select the Bluetooth icon.
- Select the Refresh button.
- Select "ARIA Audio" — it appears on the left of your phone's Bluetooth name list.
- Go to your smartphone's Bluetooth settings and select the ARIA Audio module.
- Select the ARIA Audio pair request (the passkey shown is not used).
- Immediately open the ARIA app, go to Settings, and enter the password 0000 within 10 seconds.
- Select "Master", then Pair.
- Enter password 0000, submit — you're now paired and can play music.
You can play music from any music app, or use the in-app Music Manager for audio enhancements such as 3D surround sound, bass boost, and equalizer presets.
Wiring & Installation
The A0325 uses a TIA-568A RJ-45 modular plug. Pinout for the audio output side:
| Wire | Function |
|---|---|
| Green/White | Left channel ground |
| Green | Left channel |
| Orange/White | Right channel ground |
| Orange | Right channel |
| Blue / Blue/White | Not used |
| Brown/White | Ground |
| Brown | 24V DC |
A factory jumper on pins 1 & 2 sets the Bluetooth level for use with a 100W amplifier.
Single Zone Audio
Plug the RJ-45 output (bottom RJ-45) of the A0325 into an ARIA Audio amplifier (e.g. the A0350 flush-mount amplifier) for a single-zone custom audio installation.
Multi-Room Application
Using a zone output of the ARIA Audio hub, run a CAT5 cable into the RJ-45 input of the A0325, then connect the A0325's RJ-45 output into the RJ-45 input of the A0350 amplifier. Repeat for each zone. Connect the A0325 to the P-2014 distribution module input for multi-room Bluetooth streaming to every room.
Main Source Installation
Using a CAT5 cable, place the RJ-45 output of the A0325 into the CAT5 audio input on the ARIA Audio hub.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Steps |
|---|---|
| Not linking with streaming source device | If both front lights are flashing, Bluetooth source is not connected — begin with app setup instructions before phone Bluetooth settings. Warning: do not turn volume all the way up if no audio is present — this could damage speakers if audio suddenly reconnects. |
| Linked but no audio present | 1. Verify the music source is active before pairing. 2. Confirm the slow green flashing LED (paired state), then turn up volume on the phone/amplifier. 3. Try a different source device. 4. Verify the source device is actually in play mode. |
Volume Level Compatibility
Output level from streaming sources varies by brand. The A0325 is adjusted to match most audio source devices, but in some cases levels may differ — use the source device's own volume control to match your main audio source level.
