Description
Russound's Most Advanced Streaming Controller
The Russound SMZ8 represents the culmination of Russound's amplification and streaming research, combining a built-in Hi-Res audio streamer with advanced digital signal processing in a single controller amplifier. It supports AirPlay and Google Cast out of the box, and includes an HDMI input with ARC for connecting a TV or video source with low latency synchronisation, avoiding lip-sync issues. A built-in 7-band graphic EQ with presets for Russound speakers gives genuinely fine control over the sound in every zone, and the updated Russound app adds equalisation, speaker presets, and further customisation on top. As with other Russound streaming controllers, installation and configuration must be carried out by a Russound Certified Installer.
