Rotel RB-1582 MKII Stereo Power Amplifier

Rotel RB-1582 MKII Stereo Power Amplifier

The Rotel RB-1582 MKII has the power to drive even the largest speaker systems effortlessly, as well as the finesse to draw out the most subtle details. This superb amplifier works flawlessly with the Sonos Connect, offering incredible performance and enough power to ensure you get the very best from your speakers whilst still providing all the convenience and flexibility that Sonos is so well known for.

The secret behind the RB-1582 MKII’s combination brawn and brains is Rotel’s Balanced Design Concept. By carefully choosing components, optimising signal paths, and critically evaluating the results to assess and fine tune performance throughout the design process, the RB-1582 MKII can effortlessly shift from the loudest crescendo to the quietest diminuendo.

Controlled power and high-end performance begins with an extremely large toroidal transformer to provide completely stable power to the output stage. This is combined with a total of 60,000uF storage capacity in special “Slit Foil” capacitors, which can charge and discharge extremely quickly and smoothly, ensuring the amp can respond rapidly to the most complex or fast-paced changes in signal from a kick-drum rhythm or an entire orchestra in full flow, for example.

On top of that, left and right channels are laid out in dual mono block design (after the toroidal transformer) and all grounding is terminated in a star pattern on a copper grounding plate to ensure low signal to noise. The output stage is a discrete design that consists of ten high current bipolar transistors per channel.

The RB-1582 MKII is perfect for those wanting to fill large rooms with high quality sound or for driving larger speaker systems at high levels without sacrificing quality.
