Russound D1290 12-Channel High-Efficiency Multi-Zone Power Amplifier
The Russound D1290 is a high-performance 12-channel digital power amplifier engineered to anchor whole-house distributed audio and multi-room entertainment systems. Delivering clean, efficient Class-D amplification across six independent zones, the D1290 pushes 45 Watts per channel into 8 ohms or 90 Watts per channel into 4 ohms, with bridgeable output up to 180 Watts into an 8-ohm load for demanding audio zones.
Designed for custom installation flexibility, the D1290 features dual stereo bus inputs, dedicated local line inputs for every zone, independent rear-panel volume gain controls, and versatile 3-way audio filter switches for subwoofers or satellite speakers. Equipped with multiple turn-on modes including 12V triggers and audio signal sensing, it offers automated power management within a sleek 1U rack-mountable chassis.
If you need to know how to power multiple audio zones across a large home, distribute architectural ceiling speakers efficiently, or integrate a high-capacity multi-room amplifier into a professional AV rack, the Russound D1290 provides the exact hardware solution. Custom integrators and audio system designers searching for a reliable, bridgeable 12-channel Class-D amplifier will find this multi-room powerhouse simple to configure and calibrate for any whole-house sound project.
