Russound, distributed exclusively in the UK by The Multi-Room Company, is introducing the next generation of its multi-channel amplifier line. The D-Series is a completely custom-built solution that has all the great features of the popular R-Series amps in a much more refined platform and with all the efficiency of Class D amplification, the company has noted.
The feature-rich design is ideal for the demands of distributed audio systems and comes in two variants: the 8-zone, 16-channel, D1650, and 4-zone, 8-channel, D850.

The D1650’s 16 channels are arranged in stereo pairs to provide discreet 50-watt per channel amplification and custom configurations for each of eight zones. Each channel may be bridged to provide eight mono channels with 160 watts. Bridging is independent for each channel, enabling a mixture of 160-watt and 50-watt channels—ideal for Dolby Atmos installations where seven high power channels and two lower powered channels may be required.
Like its larger sibling, the D850 is fitted with the option to individually select inputs for each zone from local line inputs or a global bus input with input /output triggers for all zones. Local inputs also feature advanced input/output triggers and auto sensing on/off, which allow each channel to operate on demand, reducing power usage and eliminating any potential for residual hum from the speakers that are not being used.
Mike Bonnette, The Multi-Room Company’s product director, says, “Russound’s R-Series amps have been hugely popular with installers for many years. Now with the introduction of the D-Series the performance has moved up a notch and they come with all the benefits of class D amplification, plus they are lighter and take up less room, making them an even more obvious choice for the installer.†He continues, “Russound has always been known for its fantastic value for money, packed full of essential and innovative features for the installers and also offering really great audio performance. We feel sure they are going to be a hit with our customers.â€
The D-Series will be available in the UK mid June 2015.
