Rotel RC-1070 Owners manual

RC-1070

Optimized for the real-world audiophile who demands flexibility
and sound quality at an affor dable price, the RC-1070 pream­plifier delivers an extraordinary level of satisfaction. Featuring
traditional Rotel engineering prowess, this unit features a power
supply based on a custom-made toroidal transformer. The RC­1070 provides six line-level inputs in addition to a carefully engi­neered phono input for moving magnet and high output moving
coil car tridges. A convenient contour contr ol allows easy and
repeatable timbre adjustments. With two sets of main outputs,
a 12 volt “trigger” jack, and a Rotel-system remote control for
both the preamplifier and a companion Rotel CD, tuner, or DVD
player, the RC-1070 brings the flexibility and sound quality of
Rotel separates within easy reach.

RC-1090

The RC-1090 is the latest expression of Rotel’s continuing
dedication to providing the finest components for traditional two
channel music reproduction. Beginning with a custom Rotel
made toroidal transformer, the low output impedance power
supply makes extensive use of the new ultra-fast T-Network
capacitors. Circuits for each channel follow Symmetrical Circuit
Trace strategy to ensure precise timing, pinpoint imaging, and
accurate soundstaging. Rigorous parts selection includes metal
foil resistors, polystyrene, and polyprop ylene signal capaci­tors. The output stage is par ticularly noteworthy for its high
current, low impedance design which provides substantial cur­rent reserves for driving even the most dif ficult inter con nect/
amplifier combinations.
Flexibility? The RC-1090 boasts eight inputs, including a low
noise, high overload MM/MC phono stage and a balanced input
with XLR connectors. A centrally-located information display
provides instant system status checks. Separate Listen and
Record selectors provide additional capability. Balanced XLR
outputs supplement the industr y-standar d RCA connec tions
and make the RC-1090 an ideal match for all high per for mance
amplifiers. A programmable remote control, RS-232 interface,
two 12 volt “trigger” outputs, a detachable AC cord, two AC con­venience outlets, and discrete on/of f remote contr ol command
codes complement the RC-1090’s exceptional per for mance

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES:

RQ-970
Performance Phono Equalizer

The RQ-970 is Rotel’s answer for
the forgotten vinyl fan. RQ-970
accepts Moving Magnet or Moving
Coil cartridges and pr ovides high
per for mance output to drive any
standard line level input of a
Preamplifier, Integrated Amplfier or
Receiver.

RSS-900
Speaker Selection Box

Rotel’s RSS-900 provides a simple
solution for multi-room sound.
Simply wire the speaker outputs of
your receiver or power amplifier to
the speaker inputs of the RSS-900
and you can then connect up to five
additional pairs of loudspeakers.
A simple, but high quality rocker
switch on the front panel turns on
and off the additional speakers.

RLC-900
AC line Filter & Power Sequencer

The RLC-900 AC line filter and
sequencer is a must for all sys­tems. There are nine AC sockets (2
amplifier, 3 digital, 3 accessory and
1 unswitched) to connect and pro­tect your valuable components from
voltage spikes and RF noise.
