3.1-Channel Mini-AVR

The Russound AVA3.1 is a compact amplifier designed to upgrade TV sound by driving in-ceiling, in-wall, soundbar or bookshelf speakers. It fits neatly into a living-room or secondary-zone setup where a full-size receiver would be excessive. Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 adds wireless streaming from phones or tablets without extra hardware.

HDMI ARC and four inputs

A single HDMI port with ARC and CEC control lets the TV remote manage power and volume, removing the need for a separate handset. Additional digital optical, line-level stereo and Bluetooth inputs expand the unit to four sources, though only one HDMI connection is available for video devices.

Detachable screw-down terminals

Speaker outputs use detachable screw-down connectors that accept wire up to 14 AWG, making pre-wiring and service straightforward. The low-profile chassis sits discreetly behind a display or inside a cabinet, and the included learning remote plus external IR sensor provide full control when the TV remote is not used.
