\nNorth Reading, MA-May 2009<\/strong>\u2014Home audio electronics manufacturer Rotel has been known worldwide for creating components for nearly five decades that deliver very serious audio and video performance, at affordable prices.\u00a0 Since the introduction of the new 15 Series home theater components late in 2008, Rotel has set a new standard of excellence and now introduces new two channel components: Integrated amp, CD Player, stereo and power preamplifiers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 15 Series is Rotel\u2019s most important introduction in many years,\u201d says Rotel VP of Sales & Marketing, Doug Henderson. \u201cAnd while these new models incorporate a lot of the latest advanced technologies and include some important refinements of Rotel\u2019s unique amplifier design, the one thing they do not alter is our company\u2019s commitment to musical performance above all else.\u201d Henderson concludes, \u201cThese new models were conceived for the listener who truly and passionately cares about sound quality, first and foremost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hi Fi Components<\/strong>
\nRotel believes that while the charms of such conveniences in this \u201ccontent everywhere\u201d age when you can fit an entire music library in a pocket-sized MP3 player are undeniable, there is a far more compelling musical experience to be had.<\/p>\n

Continuing Henderson said, \u201cIndeed, there is nothing more enjoyable than hearing a favorite artist in full lossless quality in the comfort of your own listening room through a high performance stereo system. Music comes alive in this setting, spreading out in a three dimensional space, revealing texture and dynamic nuance that makes music such a wonderful, life-enhancing experience.\u00a0 Rotel has built its long reputation on providing outstanding music components and the 15 Series stereo range will allow music lovers to rediscover an entire collection the way it was meant to be heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nStereo Integrated Amplifier <\/strong>
\nThe RA-1520<\/strong> is a music lover\u2019s amplifier and is ideal as a stand-alone stereo system. Its muscular 2 x 60 watt (into 8 ohms) design is based upon nearly 50 years of expertise in analog audio engineering and it delivers all of the musical performance the artist intended. Subtle nuances and large dynamics are both rendered faithfully from uncompressed digital, or classic analog sources with the included moving magnet phono. To complete its functionality, as well as its superb performance capabilities, there are additional inputs for tuner, tape, CD and Aux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CD Player <\/strong>
\nCD 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.\u00a0 Rotel has enjoyed a class leading reputation with CD player designs since the introduction of the landmark RCD-855 in 1990.<\/p>\n

With the release of the RCD-1520<\/strong>, Rotel has 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<\/strong> utilizes a segmented power supply with a large toroidal transformer to minimize power supply \u201csag\u201d 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, Rotel has specified the superb Wolfson DAC for advanced digital filtration and D\/A conversion.\u00a0 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 a reference audio system for years to come.<\/p>\n

Stereo Preamplifiers <\/strong>
\nA 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 \u201ca straight wire with gain\u201d design, nothing more and nothing less.\u00a0 Of course, the realization of this goal is much harder than it seems, but Rotel\u2019s 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The RC-1580<\/strong> 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.\u00a0\u00a0 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.\u00a0 The RC-1580<\/strong> 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.\u00a0 A tone defeat, media input socket, phones socket and remote control is included.<\/p>\n

RC-1550 <\/strong>
\nThe RC-1550 delivers an extraordinary level of performance. Its rock-solid power supply is comprised of a custom made toroidal transformer and select grade BHC slit foil capacitors. RC-1550<\/strong> features six line-level inputs in addition to a phono input for moving magnet cartridges. A convenient contour control allows easy and repeatable timbre adjustments. With two sets of main outputs, a 12 volt \u00ab\u00a0trigger \u00a0\u00bb jack, and a Rotel-system remote control for both the pre-amplifier and a companion Rotel CD, tuner, or DVD player, the RC-1550<\/strong> brings the flexibility and sound quality of Rotel separates within easy reach.<\/p>\n

Stereo Power Amplifiers <\/strong>
\nRotel has been engineering and manufacturing power amplifiers for decades and the two amplifiers presented here build on the company\u2019s Balanced Design Concept<\/strong> engineering philosophy and feature refined Class AB output stages, over-sized power supplies with toroidal transformers and select grade components throughout.<\/p>\n

Rugged, stable, and natural sounding, either model is the ideal foundation for a high performance music systems. Both feature 12-volt triggers for remote operation and include an IEC detachable power cord.\u00a0\u00a0 Power output configurations are 2 x 200 watts for the RB-1582<\/strong> and 2 x 120 watts for the RB-1552<\/strong>. The on\/off operation of the amplifiers can be remotely controlled by 12-volt triggers. Optional rack mount rails are available for custom installation requirements.<\/p>\n

All models are available late first quarter or early second quarter 2009.<\/em><\/p>\n
