The Rotel RB-985 MK II is a five-channel power amplifier designed for those seeking an immersive home theater experience without compromise. Every detail is engineered to THX standards, ensuring absolute stability, over 100 W per channel into 8 ohms, very low distortion, and a wide dynamic range, delivering clean, precise, and powerful sound across the entire frequency spectrum. Rotel demonstrates that a high-quality multichannel amplifier does not have to be expensive, combining a sophisticated and high-performing interior with a minimalist and discreet exterior design.

The front panel features a simple power switch and five protection LEDs, one for each channel, which light up at startup and indicate overheating. The rear panel includes individual inputs for all five channels and a female DB25 connector that allows easy grouping of signals from a THX-compatible preamplifier or processor, keeping cabling neat and organized. The binding posts accept 4mm banana plugs or bare wires, though caution is advised with bare wires to avoid short circuits.

The soundstage is precise and three-dimensional, with cinematic effects coming to life and a sense of depth that envelops the listener, from the most delicate passages to the most powerful action sequences. Even in setups with demanding loads or low impedances, the RB-985 MK II maintains control and definition on every channel, ensuring consistent, powerful sound.

Despite its high-level performance, the RB-985 MK II offers excellent value for money, making it ideal for those seeking THX-level power and clarity without spending a fortune. It is the perfect solution for upgrading a Pro-Logic system or an existing home theater, transforming it into a system capable of reproducing every audio detail with precision, dynamic range, and naturalness. The Rotel RB-985 MK II combines reliability, streamlined design, and professional-grade audio quality, becoming the driving heart of any multichannel setup.
