Description

Rotel RC-1590 MKII Stereo Pre-Amplifier

Reference audio systems deserve reference audio equipment. The Rotel RC-1590MKII is exactly that - a reference preamplifier that delivers high-end sound and build quality at a reasonable price.

The Rotel RC-1590 MKII excels sonically in several ways, including providing an expansive, rock-solid soundstage, a detailed-yet-smooth midrange and upper frequencies, and dynamic bass that is precise and well-controlled. The RC-1590 MKII has an extremely low noise floor, helping it reveal the subtlest of musical details.

The heart of the RC-1590 MKII begins with the power supply featuring dual in-house manufacture toroidal transformers. The transformers are physically and electrically isolated supplying dedicated analogue and digital supply voltages to all critical circuits, eliminating unwanted distortion which helps it achieve such a low noise floor.

Digital source inputs are processed utilising an audiophile grade Texas Instruments 32-bit/384kHz Digital to Audio Converter (DAC) with custom engineered, proprietary acoustically tuned external output filter circuits rendering even the finest details with exceptional clarity and exact positioning.

Analogue signal paths feature DIRECT-PATH bypass modes eliminating unnecessary circuits maintaining signal integrity and further eliminating unwanted noise and distortion drawing you even closer and immersing you in the music. 

The RC-1590 MKII supports a full array of inputs ensuring connection to your favourite sources including a Moving Magnet Phono input for vinyl lovers, 3 more Analogue RCA inputs and a high quality Balanced XLR input. There are three optical and three coaxial inputs, as well as optical and coaxial outputs for passing digital signals to an outboard DAC. A USB Type-B input allows for PC connection, supporting PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz resolution.

The RC1590 MKII also supports MQA and is certified Roon Tested. High quality aptXTM Bluetooth provides convenient wireless connectivity.

Dual RCA and XLR outputs provide the ultimate flexibility when it comes to hooking up your power amps. A subwoofer output is also included.

The RC-1590 MKII proudly continues Rotel’s 60-year legacy and heritage with their ongoing promise of performance, value, and unwavering commitment to quality.
