Streaming Mixer Amplifier: The Russound XZone70V uses advanced amplifier circuitry to provide an amazing 300 watts of power in a single 1U chassis. With flexible options for using in both high and low impedance applications, it is perfect for use in light commercial applications like a coffee shop or yoga studio, or as the outdoor zone amplifier for homes or businesses.

• Powerful 300W Output: The Russound XZone70V Streaming Mixer Amplifier provides 300 watts of total output.
• 70v/100v/4Ω Operation: The XZone70V has three separate output options - 70-volt, 100-volt, and a low impedance setting of 4Ω (minimum). When connecting speakers, use the appropriate connections on the rear-panel for each application (see owner's manual).
• Dedicated High Pass Filter: As any audio professional knows, running low frequency audio through a 70v/100v amplifier can quickly saturate even the highest quality transformers, leading to distortion, poor performance, and even damaging the amplifier. The XZone70V incorporates a dedicated high pass filter to prevent these signals when it is in 70v/100v mode, yet allowing all of the deep bass sounds you want when it is set in 4Ω mode.

USB-A 2.0 Port: The XZone70V also supports playback from connected USB storage devices. A built-in USB-A 2.0 port allows you to connect an external flash drive or an externally-powered USB hard drive for use as additional music source. You also get browsing & search functions, playback controls, as well as song/artist information and album art through the MyRussound App on your Apple iOS or Android device.

Aux Input: A rear-panel 3.5mm Aux input lets you connect almost any audio device with a analog audio output or headphone output jack (a 3.5mm-to-RCA adapter may be required).

Mic Input: A microphone with an on/off switch is recommended for use with the XZone70V. Connect the microphone using the Phoenix connector on the rear-panel. The XZone70V must be turned on for the Mic input to work. The input works for any operational state of the XZone70V - playing music, paused, or muted.

• Automatic Ducking: The XZone70V will automatically reduce the volume of any source when it detects an audio signal on the microphone input.
• Microphone Gain:There are two different controls for adjusting the microphone volume level on the XZone70V. There is a front-panel Mic Volume control and a rear-panel Mic Gain control (see owner's manual on how to set the appropriate Mic level).

Phoenix Connector Output: Installer-friendly phoenix connectors are used for all outputs, allowing the audio professionals to lock in all connections for a long-lasting, trouble-free installation that is still easy to service and adjust throughout the life of the system. All connectors accept up to 14ga wire.

• Speaker Outputs: The XZone70V is equipped with phoenix-style speaker outputs for connecting 100V, 70V, or 4Ω speakers (must choose only one type). The phoenix-style speaker connecter features a dedicated terminal for each speaker type (100V/70V/4Ω), plus a common ground.
• Balanced Pre-Outs: The XZone70V is also equipped with balanced pre-out connections (Phoenix-style) for both left and right audio channels for connecting to additional amplifiers.

Mounting Options: The XZone70V can be mounted in four ways - 1U rack-mount, tabletop, under-cabinet, or flat-mounted to a wall - offering unique flexibility for practically any installation. For rack, wall, or under-cabinet mounting, use two included brackets. For table-top mounting, four non-marking rubber feet are included. Make sure to leave at least 1.75" of clearance above the Russound XZone70V for proper ventilation.
