ROTEL RB 1582 MKII

Note: The price change with the finish

The Rotel RB-1582 MkII stereo amplifier stands out for its combination of power, precision, and reliability, delivering 200 watts per channel in a balanced design that ensures superior performance. Engineered to effortlessly drive even the most demanding Hi-Fi systems, the RB-1582 MkII captures every musical detail while maintaining full current availability during the most dynamic passages. This ability to combine accuracy and power comes from meticulous circuit design and careful component selection, aimed at providing the highest fidelity.

At the core of the RB-1582 MkII’s performance is a large toroidal transformer, paired with a total storage capacity of 60,000 µF managed by special “slit foil” capacitors, which charge and discharge extremely quickly. This ensures signal stability and fidelity even during complex passages, such as orchestral crescendos or bass drum hits, delivering precise, powerful, and controlled sound. The left and right channels are designed as monoblocks after the transformer, and all ground wiring converges in a star configuration on a copper plate, guaranteeing low noise levels and high signal purity. The discrete output stage features ten high-current bipolar transistors per channel, ensuring linear and dynamic reproduction.

The RB-1582 MkII provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, offering maximum flexibility to connect any audio source. With its design carefully developed according to Rotel’s Balanced Design philosophy, this amplifier becomes the reliable heart of a distinctive stereo system or home theater setup, capable of maintaining high-level performance for many years.
