Russound announces the expansion of its controller-amplifier product offerings. For genuine ease, CAS44 includes features not typically found in competitive models at this price point.
Two elegantly designed keypad options are available for one-touch control of home audio components. The KP4 includes 20 labels for personalizing sources, and the KPL offers a LCD panel making multiroom audio control simple and enjoyable. The five-character display shows source name and volume level.
