About Rotel
Our story began over 60 years ago. Over the decades, we have received
hundreds of awards for our products and satisfied hundreds of thousands
of people who take their entertainment seriously – like you!
Rotel was founded by a family whose passionate interest in music led
them to manufacture high-fidelity components of uncompromising
quality. Through the years, that passion has remained undiminished
and the family goal of providing exceptional value for audiophiles and
music lovers, regardless of their budget, is shared by all Rotel employees.
Rotel's engineers work as a close team, listening to, and fine tuning, each
new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards. They are
free to choose components from around the world in order to make
that product the best they can. You are likely to find capacitors from
the United Kingdom and Germany, semiconductors from Japan or the
United States, while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in
Rotel's own factory.
We all have concerns about our environment. And, as more and more
electronics are produced it is especially important for a manufacturer
to do all it can to engineer products that have a minimum impact on
the environment.
At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead content
in our products by using special lead-free ROHS solder and components.
Our engineers continually strive to improve power supply efficiency
without compromise to quality. When in standby mode Rotel products use
minimal power to meet global Standby Power Consumption requirements.
The Rotel factory is also doing their part to help the environment through
constant improvements to product assembly methods for a cleaner and
greener manufacturing processes.
All of us at Rotel thank you for buying this product. We are sure it will
bring you many years of enjoyment.
A Word About Watts
The RMB-1585MKII power output is quoted as 340 watts for each channel
into 4 ohms, when five channels are operating together at full power.
Rotel has chosen to specify the power output in this way because, in
Rotel's experience, it gives the truest value of the receiver or amplifier's
power capability.
When comparing specifications for different products, you should be
aware that power output is often specified in other ways, so you may
not be comparing like with like. For example, the power output may be
quoted with only one channel operating, giving a higher maximum figure.
A loudspeaker's impedance rating indicates the electrical resistance or
load it offers when connected to the amplifier, usually 8 ohms or 4 ohms.
The lower the impedance, the more power the speaker will need. In effect,
a 4 ohm speaker will require twice as much power as an 8 ohm speaker.
However, Rotel amplifiers are designed to work into any speaker impedance
between 8 and 4 ohms, and with all the channels working up to their full
