The Sony STR-DH190 is a 2-channel stereo receiver with a phono input for a turntable, Bluetooth, and an FM tuner. It lets you play vinyl, streamed music and other connected audio sources through one amplifier. The low-profile design is made to fit conventional AV cabinets.
Bluetooth lets you stream from a paired smartphone or tablet. With Bluetooth Standby, you can turn the receiver on from the paired device. The receiver has four analog audio inputs and one output for connecting other audio equipment. It is a match for the Sony PS-HX500 and PS-LX300USB turntables.
The amplifier delivers 100 W + 100 W. A reinforced frame and beam chassis reduces vibration transmitted from speaker sound pressure, and rigid parts hold the heat sink in place. The phono amplifier and transformer are positioned to minimize interference from the magnetic field. The A+B function connects two sets of front speakers. You can switch between A or B, or use both together, for example to run outdoor speakers or speakers in another room.
