The Russound D250LS solves a common multiroom problem: a room that also has its own audio source. Wired between a whole-house system and a room's speakers, this two-channel digital amplifier plays the house feed until a local device such as a bedroom TV, desktop PC or game console starts sending audio, then automatically switches the room's speakers to that local source. When the local source goes quiet, it returns to the house feed after a delay you can set anywhere from five seconds to five minutes. Inputs are autosensing and accept either line-level signals or amplified speaker-level signals, so it can sit behind a multiroom controller's speaker outputs. Power is rated at 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 75 watts into 4 ohms, or 150 watts bridged. A 12V trigger input and output integrate it with other gear, standby consumption is under half a watt, and its low-profile chassis offers four mounting options for racks, shelves or cabinets.
