Audio Amplifier - Russound R850MC

4 Zone/8 Channel Multiroom Amplifier (50W) R850MC

The Russound R850MC is an 8-channel power amplifier ideal for use as the main amplifier in home theater and distributed audio systems. The eight channels are arranged in pairs to provide amplification for four stereo zones.

The R850MC provides an array of useful features such as autosensing line inputs, bridged mono operation, independent zone triggering, bus inputs and multiple speaker outputs per zone to meet a wide variety of applications and configurations.

The R850MC is rated at 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 80 watts per channel into 4 ohms. With a zone’s mode switch set in the Bridge Mono position, both channels in the zone are combined for a mono output of 140 watts into an 8-ohm load. All this power is supplied by two high-output toroidal transformers. Each output channel incorporates robust protection circuitry for safety and reliability under extreme circumstances.
