Larger listening environments require prodigious amounts of power to deliver room filling sound. That's exactly what you get with Rotel's 5 x 250 watt power amplifier. It is important to note that this specification is provided with "all channels driven at 8 ohms" unlike some other manufacturers who stretch the ratings by listing them at 6 ohms or with only one or two channels being driven. Rotel's RMB-1575 is a true high current audiophile design and can double its output to 5 x 500 watts at 4 ohms with all channels driven. Pure muscle alone, however, does not make a superb amplifier. The RMB-1575 excels at extracting all of the smallest audio details from both music and movie soundtracks alike. Best of all, even with its high power capability the RMB-1075 runs relatively cool, extending the components lifespan thanks to its innovative Class D design.

Specifications

The RMB-1565 is designed around the same superb Class D design as the RMB-1575 but with a slightly smaller output of 5 x 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms. It is the perfect choice for medium to large home theater rooms. Plus, just like its bigger brother, it will double its output with more difficult lower impedance loads, thereby providing 5 x 200 watts into 4 ohms. It also includes all of the custom installation features such as 12 volt triggers, and "U height" dimensions that are demanded of today's modern power amplifiers.

Specifications

This high power two-channel amplifier can be used with the RMB-1575 to expand your theater system into a 7.1 system, or it can stand alone as a reference amplifier for a two-channel hi fi system. Either way, it has the same performance characteristics, sound quality, and custom installation options as the five-channel RMB-1575.

Specifications

Rotel provides multiple amplifier solutions for all of your theater systems. The RB-1562 is a 2 x 100 watt per channel (8 ohms, all channels driven) power amplifier that can be combined with the RMB-1565 amplifier for a total 7 x 100 watts per channel home theater amplification. It is also a great two-channel hi fi amplifier and can drive a wide range of small to large speakers with ease. Its smart Class D design never gets hot and allows it to be put into small cabinet spaces without over-heating itself or other accompanying components.

CD players have been around for over twenty-five years and have enjoyed such a progression of quality that they can hardly be compared to the original players released in 1982. Rotel has enjoyed a class leading reputation with our CD player designs since the introduction of the landmark RCD-855 in 1990, pronounced by critic Lewis Lipnick from Stereophile magazine Vol.13, No. 7 as "The steal of the century!"

Now, with the release of the RCD-1520, we have produced a CD player that sets a new standard for the 21st century, taking full advantage of the vast wealth of music now available on compact discs. The RCD-1520 utilizes a segmented power supply with a large toroidal transformer to minimize power supply "sag" and reduce hum emissions. All rectifiers, voltage regulation components and BHC low-ESR storage capacitors are carefully selected, not only for tight tolerance specifications, but in particular, for their sound quality. Both analog and digital circuits undergo this careful scrutiny. For the digital domain, we have specified the superb Wolfson DAC for advanced digital filtration and D/A conversion and Burr Brown low distortion op amplifiers. The CD transport is a high performance slot loading mechanism. The result of this attention to detail is a CD player that will remain a part of your reference audio system for years to come.

A preamplifier must keep the audio signal as pure as possible, while amplifying and routing various source signals to the power amplifier. The goal of the engineer is to achieve “a straight wire with gain" design, nothing more and nothing less. Of course, the realization of this goal is much harder than it seems, but Rotel's experience and meticulous circuit design has produced a string of exceptional stereo preamplifiers over the years, which has been taken to new heights in the RC-1580.

The RC-1580 is designed for the hi-fi purist in terms of its minimalist approach and absolute musical fidelity. Component parts, such as an oversized toroidal power transformer and special BHC capacitors, along with circuit topology, have been carefully selected to obtain the best sound possible. For those who want the best of both audio and video worlds a unity gain stage has been included to enable a surround processor to feed straight through to the power amplifier thereby bypassing the volume control. The RC-1580 includes a low noise MM/MC phono with discrete, differential input stages, as well as CD, Tuner, and two AUX inputs. The preamplifier can be controlled by RS-232, or IR input. A tone defeat, media input socket, headphone socket and remote control is included.

Specifications
