NEW SUPPORT RING
Thanks to the collaboration with Paolo Andriolo, our ZEMI Aria is now equipped with a new support ring made of industrial-grade NX5 neoprene. The new support device sensibly improves the quality of sound, especially bass notes, by reducing the transmission of low frequency vibrations to the surface where the ZEMI Aria is resting. It also gives you the chance of positioning your ZEMI Aria on uneven, non flat surfaces. In the photos below you can see a close-up of the new o-ring and some tests of a ZEMI Aria resting on top of a NACSound’s Freewheeler.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where should I place my ZEMi Aria to get the best sound quality?
- Your ZEMi Aria will sound great almost anywhere that you might want to place it. However, the system will give you the best audio performance if it is placed against a wall or in a corner of the room where you wish to listen to it. The system should be placed on a counter, cabinet or piece of furniture approximately at ear level, if possible.
How do I connect an iPod, MP3 or CD player to my ZEMi Aria?
- Your ZEMi Aria has a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack in the rear control panel. A patch cord with a stereo mini plug may be connected to the AUX input jack from devices like an iPod, CD player or other music source. Also, an optical digital cable with a mini-plug connector may be used to connect optical outputs from televisions, cable boxes, CD players or digital music receivers.
- Do note that when there is a mini-plug connected to the AUX input jack the Bluetooth and AirPlay wireless input will be overridden and the sound from the source plugged in to the AUX input will be played. Adjust the volume with the remote control provided with your ZEMi Aria.
Can I use my ZEMi Aria outdoors?
- Your ZEMi Aria is an electronic product and is not designed to withstand direct exposure to water or for use in areas with excessive moisture. You may use your product outdoors if it is protected from exposure to rain or high humidity. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ZEMI ARIA OUTSIDE OR IN AREAS WHERE IT MAY BE EXPOSED TO RAIN OR MOISTURE! Water damage is not covered by the warranty.

How to ensure streaming via Apple AirPlay works smoothly?
- Apple AirPlay relies on the Wi-Fi network in your home or office. Please make sure your Wi-Fi system is up to date and operating properly prior to connecting your ZEMi Aria to the network.
- To ensure smooth music streaming, you must make sure you have adequate Wi-Fi coverage in the areas where your ZEMi Aria(s) is/are located. Also, ZEMi Aria will operate most reliably with a recent model router/modem. Poor Wi-Fi coverage, old Wi-Fi equipment or slow Internet speeds will often result in dropped AirPlay signals and intermittent operation.
My ZEMi Aria is not synching to my network. What should I do?
- First, ensure that you have good Wi-Fi coverage in the area where your ZEMi Aria(s) is/are located. You can check this with a laptop or other Wi-Fi devices. If your Wi-Fi signal strength is weak, update your equipment or add Wi-Fi routers to your network to improve Wi-Fi signal coverage. If you have a strong signal, try repeating the pairing sequence.
- Try the following if the above does not resolve the issue. Unplug your ZEMi Aria and plug it back in to reset it. Connect the provided adaptor cable to the mini-USB port on the back of the ZEMi Aria. Plug your iPhone or iPad charging cable into your device, then into the other end of the adaptor cable. Make sure the connections are all secure. Press the power button on the back of the ZEMi Aria two times. A message will come up on the device screen and asks if you want to share the network settings. Press “Allow”. The ZEMi Aria ‘s mode light will flash blue while the unit connects to the network. The light will stop lashing and turn solid blue when the connection is complete
- If the blue LED does not stop flashing after a few minutes, repeat the steps above. If this problem persists, please contact us for technical support.
