Russound is now shipping the SMZ16-PRE 16×16 matrix preamplifier with a built-in streamer. The SMZ16-PRE features 16 stereo inputs, which can be used in any combination of up to 16 analog, six digital optical, or four digital coax inputs. Though 16×16, it is expandable up to a 16×96 stereo-channel audio matrix with superior audio quality for any installation.
The preamplifier boasts an HDMI input (ARC) for connecting to a TV or video source with low-latency synchronization to avoid lip sync issues and an integrated DSP with a 7-band graphical EQ with built-in presets for Russound speakers. It is controllable with Russound’s XTS7 wall-mounted color touchscreen, the IPK-1 single-gang IP keypad, or the Russound app.
As with the SMZ8, the SMZ16-PRE features a built-in high-res audio streamer with support for streaming platforms like AirPlay and Google Cast, as well as many other popular sources, facilitating seamless integration with modern digital ecosystems. It features an updated app with multiple enhancements, including graphic equalization, speaker presets, and a host of other features designed to offer enhanced control and customization.
