INTRODUCTION
The Russound R850MC is an 8-channel power amplifier
and is 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 bridge mode operation, independent zone trig-
gering, 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 the
Stereo/Bridged mono switch in the Bridged Mono posi-
tion, both channels in the zone are combined for a higher
powered mono output. In bridged mode, the R850MC is
rated at 140 watts of power into a single 8 ohm load. All
this power is backed by two high output torodial trans-
formers. Each amplifier output channel incorporates
robust protection circuitry for safety and reliability under
extreme circumstances.
