Rotel Electronics At Fred's Sound Of Music Audio Video Inc.

No other mainstream hi fi manufacturer has received so much praise from the press in the United Kingdom alone, where Rotel has won over 100 press awards in the last 4 years! In the U.S. Rotel has won accolades including Grand Prix Awards from Audio Video International and Stereophile magazine's "Recommended Components" list. This recognition didn't come easily but it's not surprising given Rotel's origins. The company was founded in Japan in 1963 by a family whose passionate interest in music led them to manufacture high fidelity components of uncompromising quality. "Built from the inside out" is how Rotel alludes to the fact that they use the finest internal components from all over the world. WIMA polypropylene and British slit-foil capacitors, BGF coupling capacitors, shielded toroidal transformers from Ireland, and German Roederstein resistors to name a few make Rotel one of the 5% of A/V manufacturers who insist on this level of quality.

Rotel's RSX-1560 receiver delivers top-of-the-line performance and all of the features you have come to expect from our premium brand. At 7 x 100 watts into 8 ohms, or 7 x 200 watts into 4 ohms, this advanced surround receiver can fill your family or media room with dynamic, pulse-pounding, cinematic sound effects. Yet, it is just as adept at revealing all of the nuances in your favorite music recordings. The RSX1560 surround receiver features an audiophile quality Class D amplifier design, along with HDMI 1.3 connections and the ability to decode Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, dts-HD Master Audio and dts HD Hi-Resolution audio codecs. The RSX-1560 is a true theater command center and can also provide a multiroom audio solution with up to three additional audio zones throughout the home. All 15 series components are available in brushed silver or black finishes.

The Rotel RDV-1093 is a 1080p (progressive-scan) DVD player with a built-in, high performance, video scaler with HDMI output to ensure that the very best picture quality is delivered to late-generation video-display devices. At 1920 x1080 pixels, the picture quality is nothing less than stunning, revealing in startling clarity background details that, in the past, were often simply vague images. Although the best performance of the RDV-1093 is obtained with a 1080p capable TV, the advanced video scaling in the RDV1093 will deliver better picture quality from your source components to your current video monitor at whatever its maximum resolution might be. The RDV-1093 provides all the disc-reading flexibility you could want: DVD-Video for movies, DVD-Audio for superb high resolution audio, and even recordable discs, such as DVD-R and DVD-RW. SVCD and JPEG photo discs aren't left out, nor are conventional music CDs or CD-R/RW discs--even those encoded with MP3 and WMA music files. Any audio/video product's performance begins with its power supply, and the RDV-1093 has been given special attention in this regard. A switching power supply with an advanced pulse circuit and individually regulated supply stages generate optimal voltages. Critical audio and video D/A converters are all wideband designs. Features include variable and slow search, 6-step Zoom Play, Strobe Play, and Resume functions. Plus, you'll find optical and coaxial digital audio outputs for easy connection to any system. For more advanced installations, the RDV-1093 also features an RS-232 interface and discrete IR commands.

For those who desire the ultimate performance and maximum flexibility from their home theater, the RSP-1570 is the surround preamp/processor to own. All of Rotel's renowned audio experience has been poured into this design to provide you with the very best in audio and video reproduction. The RSP1570 features HDMI 1.3 connections with 1080p / 24 Hertz compliance, a dual 32 bit DSP processor and 24 bit/192kHz digital-to-analog convertors. It supports the new "Deep Color" and xvYCC video options. This superbly designed component is easy to set up and use and is a custom installer's friend with rear panel bi-directional RS-232 ports, assignable 12-volt triggers and multiple IR connections. The RSP-1570 can also be used as a "whole house" audio system with its additional multiroom audio outputs.

The RSP-1069 is Rotel's most advanced home theater and multizone audio controller yet. Utilizing our Balanced Design Concept, the RSP-1069 is built on a high performance platform, including the Texas Instruments Aureus™ DSP processor and Burr Brown 24 bit/192kHz DACs, along with careful attention to power supply, parts selection and circuit path refinement. The result is class leading audio performance. But there is even more to the RSP1069. Four HDMI inputs handle complex system requirements. High quality Faroudja DCDi® video processing scales any video source up to 1080p resolution as required. In addition, the RSP-1069 adds three additional zones of audio and composite video with fixed or variable outputs and discrete IR and RS-232 command sets. When combined with a Rotel multi-zone amplifier and Rotel RKP keypads, the RSP-1069 provides a flexible whole house audio solution with unrivaled sound quality. Whatever your pleasure--consummate stereo performance, home theater action or whole house music--you need look no further than the RSP-1069.

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.

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.
