Multichannel Power Amplifier
As well-received as Rotel’s CD players have been over the
decades, the company’s power amplifiers have been perhaps
even more admired and critically acclaimed. That’s due
to Rotel’s insistence that “less is more” and proof that the
company’s renowned Balanced Design Concept, which
emphasizes simplicity and precise execution of proven
engineering principles, honors its commitment to accurate and
enjoyable musical reproduction.
Now this same attention to detail – and the same vitality in sonic
reproduction – is available for multichannel music aficionados
as well as videophiles searching for the best
in movie soundtrack recreation.
Case in point: the remarkable RMB-1555 multichannel power
amplifier. Whether used in a powerhouse home theater system,
as a distribution amplifier for several independent zones in your
home, or as the foundation of a remarkably flexible multichannel
music system, the RMB-1555 fulfills
the promise of Rotel’s heritage.
Power output is conservatively rated at 120 watts per channel
into 8 ohms and this is with all channels driven to full
output. With all but the most demanding speakers located
in extraordinarily large rooms, the RMB-1555 exerts the kind
of precise control that presents both nuance and bombast
correctly from the faintest flute overtones to the subterranean
rumble of an approaching apocalypse.
Its capability comes from a remarkably stable power supply based
on a Rotel-designed and Rotel-built toroidal transformer that
provide precise voltages at high current
to subsequent circuit stages. In addition, the toroid shape itself
reduces stray emissions that might otherwise interfere with signal
transfer.
Other internal components are of equally high caliber. They’re
sourced from Rotel’s global supply network only
aer detailed examination and exhaustive listening tests
that separate “good enough” from the truly superlative.
The RMB-1555 uses only discrete output transistors with
their higher thermal stability and freedom from the designed-in
compromises that characterize their integrated circuit cousins.
The Class AB amplifier configuration assures the best balance
between power output and thermal eiciency
for exceptional MTBF (mean time between failure).
Heavy duty speaker terminals complement the RMB-1555’s
12-volt remote control trigger, single-ended RCA inputs, and
detachable IEC-type AC cord.
Truly an amplifier for all uses, the RMB-1555 combines superb
execution with maximum reliability to demonstrate Rotel’s long
devotion to satisfying consumer needs.
