A Russound CAV6.6 whole-house audio controller installed in my home started on fire and except for a fluke of timing and some quick work with a fire extinguisher, could have burned down my house and killed my family. I was truly surprised that relatively expensive home electronics like the Russound CAV could burst into flames. With all the regulation and focus on safety these days, I thought units of this type from well known manufacturers like Russound were virtually fireproof.

Russound CAV Fire - Flammability of the RCA connector

Internal evaluation of Russound CAV Fire

We broke one of the RCA connectors off a Russound CAV for a demonstration of the flammability of the CAV6.6. We ignited the plastic with a resistor that represents a common component failure.

This is less than 1/50th of the flammable plastic exposed to component failure in the Russound CAV. Tested Safe by TUV Rheinland of North America.

Russound CAV Fire - Testing other appliances flammability

Evaluating other plastic cases in case of component failures.

Televisions in the United States will not continue to burn after the source of the fire is removed. It is fairly commonplace for an electronic component to 'burn up' with a flash of flame and a puff of smoke. That is why consumer electronics are made to both contain the small fire produced by the failing component and not any flammable material nearby.

Russound CAV Fire - Russound CAV6.6

Interior evaluation of Russound CAV Fire

From this video you can see how severe the fire was inside this CAV6.6 at the point it was extinguished by a fire extinguisher. You can imagine from watching the video of burning of less than 1/50 of the flammable plastic inside a Russound CAV,  how severe this fire was in my home.
