Rotels largest stereo amplifier at 200 watts per channel
provides the massive current to drive the very largest hi
fi systems effortlessly. And like its smaller brother, the
RB-1582MKII has been designed to excel at resolving
the subtle details in music as well as supplying the
brawn required for extremely dynamic passages. It is
able to achieve this difficult dual requirement because
of the meticulous attention paid to circuit design and
parts selection.
The RB-1582 MKII s high-end performance begins
with an extremely large toroidal transformer combined
with a total of 60,000uF storage capacity in special
slit foil capacitors to provide completely stable power
to the output stage. Slit foil capacitors have the ability
to charge and discharge extremely quickly, thereby
ensuring signal fidelity during orchestral crescendos
or repetitive kick-drum impacts, for example. Both left
and right channel construction are laid out in a mono
block design (after the toroidal transformer) and all
grounding is terminated in a star pattern on a copper
grounding plate to ensure low signal to noise. The
output stage is a discrete design that consists of
10 high current bipolar transistors per channel. Input
options consist of both balanced XLR and unbalanced
RCA connectors.
The RB-1582 stereo power amplifier is yet another
outstanding example of Rotels Balanced Design
Concept and will form the heart of a very impressive
stereo or home theater system for years to come.
