Russound will show its new AVA-Series Mini Audio Receivers (Mini-AVR) in Stand 2L500 at ISE 2024, in Barcelona.
The AVA2.1 and AVA3.1 Mini-AVRs are designed for custom installation specialists, providing them with compact, plug-and-play amplification for 2.1 and 3.1 audio systems with ARC HDMI. Both models include a Class-D amplifier with digital inputs, 100-240V 50/60Hz universal power supply for installation, built-in Bluetooth 5.0, dedicated subwoofer output with gain control, and an IR remote control and external receiver.
The Mini-AVRs aim to speed up installations with ARC HDMI. This feature allows for instant use with any TV through HDMI’s CEC functionality, attempting to eliminate the need for another remote control. They are highly flexible receivers that pair with existing soundbars or speaker setups and can be placed in nearly any imaginable space. Boasting a footprint of only 1.6-in x 5.7-in x 7.9-in, they are sized for small spaces and installing out of view. They deliver quality audio performance, thanks to the Class-D amplifier with 50 watts per channel.
Installers can connect additional audio sources via the analog and digital audio inputs, which include an optical audio input and a line audio input. Other ports include a 2-channel speaker output for the AVR2.1, and three channels for the AVR3.1; subwoofer output; line audio output; infrared in and out for use with the included IR Receiver with IR Receiver Eye; 100-240V 50/60Hz power input; and Mini USB 3.0 for firmware updates. Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 allows users to listen to any content from a phone, tablet, or computer. If desired, the Mini-AVR’s multiple inputs can be used to convert the AVA-Series into a mini receiver supporting up to four total inputs.
