INTRODUCTION

The Russound R1250MC is a 12-channel power amplifier and is ideal for use as the main amplifier in home theater and distributed audio systems. The 12 channels are arranged in pairs to provide amplification for six stereo zones. The R1250MC provides an array of useful fea- tures such as bridge mode operation, independent zone triggering, bus inputs and multiple speaker outputs per zone to meet a wide variety of applications and configu- rations.

R1250MC AMPLIFIER

The R1250MC is rated at 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 80 watts per channel into 4 ohms. With the Stereo/Bridge Mono switch in the Bridge mode position, both channels in the zone are combined fora higher pow- ered mono output. In bridged mode, the R1250MC pro- vides 140 watts of power into a single 8-ohm load. All this power is backed by three high output toroidal trans- formers. Each amplifier output channel incorporates robust protection circuitry for safety and reliability under extreme circumstances.
