Introducing the stunning new 15 Series components<br />

15 SERIES - BUILT ON A PERFORMANCE HERITAGE<br />

Our story began nearly 50 years ago yet our<br />

ownership and mission have never changed.<br />

We are an independent high performance<br />

audio/video company with an unwavering<br />

ambition to deliver exceptional value. As<br />

with the first product we ever made, our<br />

components are skillfully manufactured in our<br />

own factory thus assuring consistent quality.<br />

We call our design approach Balanced Design<br />

Concept, a disciplined synthesis of physics,<br />

electronics and mechanical engineering guided<br />

by the belief that the whole should be greater<br />

than the sum of its parts. Over the decades,<br />

we have received hundreds of rave reviews and<br />

awards from publications around the world.<br />

Most importantly, we’ve satisfied hundreds<br />

of thousands of people who take their<br />

entertainment seriously—like you! We sell our<br />

brand only through the most qualified group<br />

of audio/video retailers and custom installers<br />

who have proven track records for superior<br />

knowledge and customer service.<br />

Our new 15 Series range represents<br />

the culmination of these five decades of<br />

commitment to the art and science of<br />

electronics design. We’ve wrapped cutting<br />

edge technologies in stunning brushed metal<br />

cabinets; available in either silver or black<br />

finishes complementing any setting. We’ve<br />

provided elegantly simple user interfaces and<br />

custom installation control features because<br />

we understand that technology should be in<br />

your service and not the other way around.<br />

We believe these components inspire pride of<br />

ownership only associated with the absolute<br />

finest products.<br />

We invite you to visit Rotel on-line and view or<br />

download a wealth of product information and<br />

general audio/video educational materials in<br />

our members’ area at www.rotel.com. Better<br />

yet, visit your nearest Rotel dealer for a handson<br />

demonstration.<br />

PARTS SELECTION<br />

Rotel engineers spend many hours<br />

listening to and selecting electronic<br />

parts from potential suppliers to give<br />

our components the best reliability<br />

and acoustic advantages. It costs a<br />

little more, but we believe the benefits<br />

further differentiate Rotel’s quality from<br />

mainstream audio/video manufacturers.<br />

CIRCUIT TOPOLOGY<br />

It’s not enough to simply use better<br />

parts. Where you put them is equally<br />

important. That’s why we rely heavily<br />

on something we call Symmetrical<br />

Signal Trace design. This keeps each<br />

channel’s signal path identical to the<br />

others to preserve imaging and sound<br />

staging. We also use “star” grounding<br />

techniques wherever possible to<br />

improve performance (a method of<br />

terminating all ground points in a starshaped<br />

pattern on a single plane that<br />

reduces ground potential).<br />

CRITICAL EVALUATION<br />

We’ve found that human hearing is<br />

more sensitive than even sophisticated<br />

instruments in the hands of experienced<br />

engineers. We set up listening sessions<br />

at various development stages, not just<br />

the final pre-production prototype, to<br />

ensure the performance of a new model<br />

is as good as it can possibly be.<br />

“ We’ve found that human<br />

hearing is more sensitive than<br />

even sophisticated instruments.”<br />

ROTEL AUDIO/VIDEO COMPONENTS<br />

Rotel is nearly 50 years-old, family<br />

owned organisation dedicated to the<br />

design and manufacture of the finest in<br />

affordable high performance home theatre<br />

and high fidelity components. We<br />

verify every engineering design choice<br />

we make with the most critical and sensitive<br />

laboratory instrument available<br />

anywhere – the human ear.

7.1 CHANNEL HOME THEATRE RECEIVER<br />

RSX-1560<br />

RSX-1550<br />

Rotel’s RSX-1560 receiver delivers topof-the-line<br />

performance and all of the<br />

features you have come to expect from<br />

our premium brand. At 7 x 100 watts into<br />

8 ohms, or 7 x 200 watts into 4 ohms,<br />

this advanced surround receiver can fill<br />

your family or media room with the most<br />

dynamic, pulse-pounding, sound effects.<br />

Yet, it is just as adept at providing all of<br />

the most delicate nuances from voice<br />

tracks and music. The RSX-1560 surround<br />

receiver features an audiophile quality<br />

Class D amplifier design, along with HDMI<br />

1.3 connections and the ability to decode<br />

Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, dts-HD<br />

Master <strong>Audio</strong> and dts HD Hi-Resolution<br />

audio codecs. The RSX-1560 is a true<br />

theatre command center and can also<br />

provide a multiroom audio solution with up<br />

to three additional audio zones throughout<br />

the home. All 15 series components are<br />

available in silver or black finishes.<br />

The RSX-1550 provides virtually all of the<br />

same features found on the RSX-1560 but<br />

with a 5 x 75 watt per channel output<br />

design. In fact, if your needs grow, it may<br />

be reconfigured to produce 7 x 100 watts<br />

per channel through on-screen software<br />

and the addition of an RB-1562 (2 x 100<br />

watt per channel) power amplifier. No<br />

obsolescent designs here! The RSX-1550<br />

is a Class AB design built on nearly 50<br />

years manufacturing experience. It includes<br />

HDMI 1.3 connections and the same ability<br />

to handle the new high definition codecs<br />

by Dolby and dts as the RSX-1560 and<br />

also includes the same multizone audio<br />

and custom installation features. If you are<br />

considering a five-channel theatre now but<br />

may want to grow into a larger system later<br />

on, this is the surround receiver for you.<br />

RMB-1575<br />

RMB-1565<br />

13<br />

RMB-1575<br />

5-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER<br />

Larger listening environments require<br />

prodigious amounts of power to deliver<br />

room filling sound. That’s exactly what<br />

you get with Rotel’s 5 x 250 watt power<br />

amplifier. Rotel’s RMB-1575 is a true<br />

high current audiophile design and can<br />

double its output to 5 x 500 watts at<br />

4 ohms with all channels driven. Pure<br />

muscle alone however, does not make a<br />

superb amplifier. The RMB-1575 excels at<br />

extracting all of the smallest audio details<br />

from both music and movie soundtracks<br />

alike. Best of all, even with its high power<br />

capability the RMB-1075 runs relatively<br />

cool, extending the components lifespan<br />

thanks to its innovative Class D design.<br />

RMB-1565<br />

5-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER<br />

The RMB-1565 is designed around the<br />

same superb Class D design as the RMB-<br />

1575 but with a slightly smaller output of<br />

5 x 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms.<br />

It is the perfect choice for medium to<br />

large home theatre rooms. Plus, just like<br />

its bigger brother, it will double its output<br />

with more difficult lower impedance loads,<br />

thereby providing 5 x 200 watts into 4<br />

ohms. It also includes all of the custom<br />

installation features such as 12 volt<br />

triggers, and “U height” dimensions that<br />

are demanded of today’s modern power<br />

amplifiers.<br />

*Note – all Rotel 15 series components may<br />

be rack mounted and remotely controlled via<br />

RS-232, IR, or 12 volt (depending on model)<br />

for complete stealth operation.<br />

RB-1572<br />

2-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER<br />

This high power two-channel amplifier can<br />

be used with the RMB-1575 to expand your<br />

theatre system into a 7.1 system, or it can<br />

stand alone as a reference amplifier for a<br />

two-channel hi-fi system. Either way, it has<br />

the same performance characteristics,<br />

sound quality, and custom installation<br />

options as the five-channel RMB-1575.<br />

RB-1562<br />

2-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER<br />

Rotel provides multiple amplifier solutions<br />

for all of your theatre systems. The RB-1562<br />

is a 2 x 100 watt per channel (8 ohms, all<br />

channels driven) power amplifier that can<br />

be combined with the RMB-1565 amplifier<br />

for a total 7 x 100 watts per channel home<br />

theatre amplification. It is also a great twochannel<br />

hi-fi amplifier and can drive a wide<br />

range of small to large speakers with ease.<br />

Its smart Class D design never gets hot<br />

and allows it to be put into small cabinet<br />

spaces without over-heating itself or other<br />

accompanying components.<br />

*Note – all Rotel 15 series components may<br />

be rack mounted and remotely controlled via<br />

RS-232, IR, or 12 volt (depending on model)<br />

CUSTOM INSTALLATION AMPLIFIERS<br />

RMB-1506<br />

6-CHANNEL INSTALLATION AMPLIFIER<br />

This amplifier is perfect for less elaborate<br />

multizone audio systems and can be mated<br />

with any of our surround receivers or our<br />

preamp/processor to add music throughout<br />

three additional living areas or “zones”<br />

of your home. You can also add another<br />

RMB-1506 for larger multizone applications.<br />

As with all Rotel multichannel amplifiers<br />

it includes all of the most wanted custom<br />

installation features.<br />

RB-1510<br />

2-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER<br />

Although only 1 U height in size, this<br />

compact power amplifier will deliver a solid<br />

2 x 65 watts per channel into 8 ohms and<br />

2 x 130 watts into 4 ohms, all channels<br />

driven. Since it runs cool, multiple RB-1510<br />

amplifiers can be stacked as required. It is<br />

no less formidable in sound quality either<br />

with its Rotel heritage of nearly 50 years of<br />

amplifier design.<br />

*Note – all Rotel 15 Series components may<br />

be rack mounted and remotely controlled via<br />

RA-1520 19<br />

CLASSIC STEREO INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER<br />

The RA-1520 is a music lover’s amplifier and<br />

is most at home as part of a stand-alone<br />

stereo system. Its muscular 2 x 60 watt (into<br />

8 ohms) design is based upon nearly 50 years<br />

of our expertise in analogue audio engineering<br />

and it delivers all of the musical performance<br />

the artist intended. Subtle nuances and large<br />

dynamics are both rendered faithfully from<br />

uncompressed digital or analogue sources.<br />

The RA-1520 includes a moving magnet phono<br />

input to accommodate your vinyl collection. To<br />

complete its functionality, as well as its superb<br />

performance capabilities, there are additional<br />

inputs for tuner, tape, CD and Aux.<br />

CLASSIC CD PLAYER RCD-1520 21<br />

CD players have been around for over<br />

twenty-five years and have enjoyed such<br />

a progression of quality that they can<br />

hardly be compared to the original players<br />

released in 1982. Rotel has enjoyed a<br />

class leading reputation with our CD player<br />

designs since the introduction of the<br />

landmark RCD-855 in 1990, pronounced<br />

by critic Lewis Lipnick from Stereophile<br />

magazine Vol.13, No. 7 as “The steal of<br />

the century!”.<br />

Now, with the release of the RCD-1520, we<br />

have produced a CD player that sets a new<br />

standard for the 21st century, taking full<br />

advantage of the vast wealth of music now<br />

available on compact discs. The RCD-1520<br />

utilises a segmented power supply with<br />

a large toroidal transformer to minimise<br />

power supply “sag” and reduce hum<br />

emissions. All rectifiers, voltage regulation<br />

components and BHC low-ESR storage<br />

capacitors are carefully selected, not only<br />

for tight tolerance specifications, but in<br />

particular, for their sound quality. Both<br />

analogue and digital circuits undergo this<br />

careful scrutiny.<br />

RC-1580<br />

RC-1550<br />

23<br />

CLASSIC STEREO PREAMPLIFIERS<br />

RC-1580<br />

RC-1550<br />

A preamplifier must keep the audio signal<br />

as pure as possible while amplifying and<br />

routing various source signals to the power<br />

amplifier. The goal of the engineer is to<br />

achieve “a straight wire with gain” design,<br />

nothing more and nothing less. Of course,<br />

the realisation of this goal is much harder<br />

than it seems, but Rotel’s experience and<br />

meticulous circuit design has produced a<br />

string of exceptional stereo preamplifiers<br />

over the years, which has been taken to<br />

new heights in the RC-1580.<br />

The RC-1580 is designed for the hi-fi<br />

purist in terms of its minimalist approach<br />

and absolute musical fidelity. Component<br />

parts such as an oversized toroidal power<br />

transformer and special BHC capacitors,<br />

along with circuit topology have been<br />

carefully selected to obtain the best<br />

sound possible. For those who want the<br />

best of both audio and video worlds a<br />

unity gain switch has been included to<br />

enable a surround processor to feed<br />

straight through to the power amplifier<br />

thereby bypassing the volume control.<br />

The RC-1580 includes a low noise MM/<br />

MC phono with discrete, differential input<br />

stages, as well as CD, Tuner, and two AUX<br />

inputs. The preamplifier can be controlled<br />

by RS-232, or IR input. A tone defeat,<br />

media input socket, phones socket and<br />

remote control is included.<br />

The RC-1550 delivers an extraordinary<br />

level of performance. Its rock-solid power<br />

supply is comprised of a custom made<br />

toroidal transformer and select grade BHC<br />

slit foil capacitors. RC-1070 features six<br />

line-level inputs in addition to a phono input<br />

for moving magnet cartridges. Convenient<br />

bass and treble tone controls allow easy<br />

and repeatable timbre adjustments. With<br />

two sets of main outputs, a 12 volt “trigger”<br />

jack, and a Rotel system remote control<br />

for both the pre-amplifier and a companion<br />

Rotel CD, tuner, or DVD player, the RC-1550<br />

brings the flexibility and sound quality of<br />

Rotel separates within easy reach.<br />

time and effort that goes into every<br />

Rotel product, in this case extracting<br />

huge amounts of detail from a CD. To<br />

ensure signal purity it incorporates four<br />

independent power supplies, UK-designed<br />

metal film resistors and an enhanced 24<br />

bit/96kHz sampling multi-level DAC.<br />

in Digital <strong>Audio</strong> Broadcasting (DAB) as well<br />

as RDS FM and AM analogue wavebands.<br />

It features independent signal paths and<br />

power supplies for both the digital and<br />

analogue sections, therefore maximising<br />

all broadcast performances.<br />

RB-06<br />

POWER AMPLIFIER<br />

The RB-06 power amplifier (70w) is the<br />

ideal partner for the RC-06 offering a high<br />

performance, high-power combination.<br />

For complete flexibility 2 RB-06’s can<br />

be bridged for a system powerhouse<br />

in excess of 180 watts / channel or<br />

bi-amped for the ultimate in refinement.<br />

An 06 Series system allows for the RB-<br />

06 to be added to any of the 06 Series<br />

integrated amplifiers both as an upgrade<br />

option or when more control of the<br />

loudspeakers is necessary.<br />
