Designed to dramatically improve TV audio by adding any in-ceiling, in-wall, soundbar, bookshelf, or other speakers in any room.

The latest generation of specialized TV amplifiers from Russound is a game changer in the audio industry.  Their built-in HDMI ARC input with CEC control means that these compact, powerful, low-profile amplifiers can be used seamlessly with any modern television without the need for any remote control other than your native TV or cable-box/satellite remote that is already being used.  If desired, their multiple inputs can be used to convert the AVA-Series into a mini-receiver supporting up to 4 total inputs (HDMI, Digital Optical, Line-Level Stereo, Bluetooth) and they include an external IR sensor and full-featured remote control.

The compact, low-profile design of the AVA-Series amplifiers allows them to be installed out of view, minimizing any intrusion into the customers’ living space.  There are several options available to choose from to meet any need.  Please keep in mind that the AVA-Series amplifiers support Bluetooth Audio so that any audio content from a phone, tablet, or computer can be easily played.  If planning on using the Bluetooth audio input, make sure to verify the Bluetooth functional range before finalizing a mounting location. Depending on the construction of the TV, wall box, building materials, etc, the range of the internal Bluetooth receiver may be impacted.
