Sony STRDH190 2-ch Stereo Receiver Phono Bluetooth Black

Stereo receiver with phono input

The Sony STRDH190 is a two-channel stereo receiver built for listeners who want a single component to drive passive speakers from both analogue and wireless sources. It delivers 100 watts per channel into eight ohms and includes a dedicated phono stage for turntables, four stereo RCA inputs, a 3.5 millimetre auxiliary input and a stereo RCA output for recording or a second zone.

Best for vinyl and streaming households

This unit suits anyone who plays records and also streams music from a phone or tablet via Bluetooth, while needing the flexibility to power two pairs of speakers through A and B switching. It is not for buyers who require HDMI switching, digital optical inputs, multi-channel surround decoding or network streaming protocols beyond basic Bluetooth.

100 watts per channel headroom

At 100 watts per channel the amplifier comfortably fills small to medium rooms with music from efficient speakers rated between six and sixteen ohms. Headroom diminishes with low-sensitivity speakers in large spaces or when driving four speakers simultaneously at high volume, where the power supply may reach its limits.
