LED indicators guards against potentially harmful operating conditions.  Special "current absorbers" minimize turn-on surges while gold plated balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs provide easy connection to a variety of controller/preamplifiers.  Heavy rear casters assist in placing the amplifier.

The Rotel RCD-1072 proves conclusively that cost-conscious high performance in a single disc CD player is still available - and still outperforming many so-called "audiophile" DVD players.  Utilizing circuit configurations originally developed for Rotel's reference-class components, this affordable unit redefines your sonic expectations. The segmented power supply features a large toroid transformer for minimal power supply "sag" as well as reduced hum emissions. High quality rectifiers, tight tolerance voltage regulation, and low-ESR storage capacitors

make sure that all circuits always operate as their designers intended. The critical analog stage uses meticulously selected parts in a "minimalist" circuit environment to insure the finest sound quality. The RCD1072 uses the same over-scan disc mechanism once reserved only for premium priced players. The remarkable new Burr-Brown PCM-1732 IC provides advanced digital filtration, HDCD decoding, and precise D/A conversion. A coaxial digital output supplements the high current analog outputs. A high-density FL display, complete programming capability, remote control, and a 12-volt trigger complete the picture.

Flexibility and convenience highlight the Rotel RA-1070.  Substanial power (100 watts x 2) and a damping factor of 400 assure precise control of all but the most demanding loudspeakers.  The high capacity power supply features an oversized Rotel made toroidal transformer and British-made BHC slit foil capacitors.  Convenience isn't an afterthought either.  A separate Record Out selector adds flexibility.  In addition, you'll find a 12 volt "trigger" output, A/B switching, separate Liten/Record selectors for eight (8) line level inputs along with a built-in MM phono, full remote control capability, an RS-232 data port, and discrete on/off remote control command codes.  The RA1070 is truly a very impressive performance package combining musicality and easy operation.

The Rotel RX-1052 conclusively proves that "stereo" is very much a part of today's world where both music and movies provide enriching entertainment for the entire family. The RX1052 doesn't limit itself to one room either. In fact, the RX-1052's unique combination of capabilities means you can enjoy your music and video sources in many different areas of your home: the den, beside the pool, in the kitchen, or simply relaxing in the living room. Performance Counts, Consider the RX1052's basic capabilities for starters. Here, Balanced Design results in superior performance indeed. We rate power output very conservatively at 100 watts RMS per channel. But there are important differences between

this rating and ones you may see from other manufacturers. That's because the RX-1052 features a rock-solid power supply built around an oversized custom-manufactured toroidal transformer coupled to high quality storage capacitors. Eight discrete, high current output transistors insure uncompromising reproduction of the most difficult sources, even when the Rotel RX-1052 is used with inefficient speakers in large rooms. Connecting those speakers is easy thanks to high quality, four-way binding posts. And switching between speaker pairs is even easier thanks to remote selection. For the vinyl aficionado - or just folks who continue to enjoy a substantial record collection - the RX-1052 features a high quality phono preamplifier optimized for moving magnet cartridges. Your New Stereo Centerpiece - With Video! For those who don't desire the multiple speaker boxes required for surround sound, the RX-1052 is the perfect complement to a new flat-panel TV and video sources like a DVD player or satellite box. Four composite video inputs, a monitor output, and video switching makes integrating your existing audio gear with the newest video components.
