Introducing the stunning new 15 Series components
5
Our story began nearly 50 years ago yet our
ownership and mission have never changed.
We are an independent high performance
audio/video company with an unwavering
ambition to deliver exceptional value. As
with the first product we ever made, our
components are skillfully manufactured in our
own factory thus assuring consistent quality.
We call our design approach Balanced Design
Concept, a disciplined synthesis of physics,
electronics and mechanical engineering guided
by the belief that the whole should be greater
than the sum of its parts. Over the decades,
we have received hundreds of rave reviews
and awards from publications around the
world. Most importantly, we’ve satisfied
hundreds of thousands of people who take
their entertainment seriously—like you! We
sell our brand only through the most qualified
group of audio/video retailers and custom
installers who have proven track records for
superior knowledge and customer service.
Our new 15 Series range represents
the culmination of these five decades of
commitment to the art and science of
electronics design. We’ve wrapped cutting
edge technologies in stunning brushed metal
cabinets; available in either silver or black
finishes complementing any setting. We’ve
provided elegantly simple user interfaces and
custom installation control features because
we understand that technology should be in
your service and not the other way around.
We believe these components inspire pride of
ownership only associated with the absolute
finest products.
We invite you to visit Rotel on-line and view or
download a wealth of product information and
general audio/video educational materials in
our members’ area at www.rotel.com. Better
yet, visit your nearest Rotel dealer for a handson demonstration.
PARTS SELECTION
Rotel engineers spend many hours
listening to and selecting electronic
parts from potential suppliers to give
our components the best reliability
and acoustic advantages. It costs a
little more, but we believe the benefits
further differentiate Rotel’s quality from
mainstream audio/video manufacturers.
CIRCUIT TOPOLOGY
It’s not enough to simply use better
parts. Where you put them is equally
important. That’s why we rely heavily
on something we call Symmetrical
Signal Trace design. This keeps each
channel’s signal path identical to the
others to preserve imaging and sound
staging. We also use “star” grounding techniques wherever possible to
improve performance (a method of
terminating all ground points in a starshaped pattern on a single plane that
reduces ground potential).
CRITICAL EVALUATION
We’ve found that human hearing is
more sensitive than even sophisticated
instruments in the hands of experienced
engineers. We set up listening sessions
at various development stages, not just
the final pre-production prototype, to
ensure the performance of a new model
is as good as it can possibly be.
ROTEL AUDIO/VIDEO COMPONENTS
Rotel is nearly 50 years-old, a family
owned organisation dedicated to the
design and manufacture of the finest in
affordable high performance home theatre and high fidelity components. We
verify every engineering design choice
we make with the most critical and sensitive laboratory instrument available
anywhere – the human ear.
“ We’ve found that human
hearing is more sensitive than
even sophisticated instruments.”

5-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER
Larger listening environments require
prodigious amounts of power to deliver
room filling sound. That’s exactly what
you get with Rotel’s 5 x 250 watt power
amplifier. Rotel’s RMB-1575 is a true high
current audiophile design and can double
its output to 5 x 500 watts at 4 ohms with
all channels driven. Pure muscle alone
however, does not make a superb amplifier.
The RMB-1575 excels at extracting all of
the smallest audio details from both music
and movie soundtracks alike. Best of all,
even with its high power capability the
RMB-1575 runs relatively cool, extending
the components lifespan thanks to its
innovative Class D design.

CD players have been around for over
twenty-five years and have enjoyed such
a progression of quality that they can
hardly be compared to the original players
released in 1982. Rotel has enjoyed a
class leading reputation with our CD player
designs since the introduction of the
landmark RCD-855 in 1990, pronounced
by critic Lewis Lipnick from Stereophile
magazine Vol.13, No. 7 as “The steal of
the century!”.
Now, with the release of the RCD-1520, we
have produced a CD player that sets a new
standard for the 21st century, taking full
advantage of the vast wealth of music now
available on compact discs. The RCD-1520
utilises a segmented power supply with
a large toroidal transformer to minimise
power supply “sag” and reduce hum
emissions. All rectifiers, voltage regulation
components and BHC low-ESR storage
capacitors are carefully selected, not only
for tight tolerance specifications, but in
particular, for their sound quality. Both
analogue and digital circuits undergo this
careful scrutiny.

RC-1580
RC-1550
A preamplifier must keep the audio signal
as pure as possible while amplifying and
routing various source signals to the power
amplifier. The goal of the engineer is to
achieve “a straight wire with gain” design,
nothing more and nothing less. Of course,
the realisation of this goal is much harder
than it seems, but Rotel’s experience and
meticulous circuit design has produced a
string of exceptional stereo preamplifiers
over the years, which has been taken to
new heights in the RC-1580.
The RC-1550 delivers an extraordinary level
of performance. Its rock-solid power supply
is comprised of a custom made toroidal
transformer and select grade BHC slit foil
capacitors. RC-1550 features six line-level
inputs in addition to a phono input for
moving magnet cartridges. Convenient bass
and treble tone controls allow 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 pre-amplifier and a companion
Rotel CD, tuner, or DVD player, the RC-1550
brings the flexibility and sound quality of
Rotel separates within easy reach.
The RC-1580 is designed for the hi-fi
purist in terms of its minimalist approach
and absolute musical fidelity. Component
parts such as an oversized toroidal power
transformer and special BHC capacitors,
along with circuit topology have been
carefully selected to obtain the best
sound possible. For those who want the
best of both audio and video worlds a
unity gain switch has been included to
enable a surround processor to feed
straight through to the power amplifier
thereby bypassing the volume control.
The RC-1580 includes a low noise MM/
MC phono with discrete, differential
input stages, as well as CD, Tuner, and
three AUX inputs. The preamplifier can be
controlled by RS-232, or IR input. A tone

RC-1550
A preamplifier must keep the audio signal
as pure as possible while amplifying and
routing various source signals to the power
amplifier. The goal of the engineer is to
achieve “a straight wire with gain” design,
nothing more and nothing less. Of course,
the realisation of this goal is much harder
than it seems, but Rotel’s experience and
meticulous circuit design has produced a
string of exceptional stereo preamplifiers
over the years, which has been taken to
new heights in the RC-1580.
The RC-1550 delivers an extraordinary level
of performance. Its rock-solid power supply
is comprised of a custom made toroidal
transformer and select grade BHC slit foil
capacitors. RC-1550 features six line-level
inputs in addition to a phono input for
moving magnet cartridges. Convenient bass
and treble tone controls allow 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 pre-amplifier and a companion
Rotel CD, tuner, or DVD player, the RC-1550
brings the flexibility and sound quality of
Rotel separates within easy reach.
The RC-1580 is designed for the hi-fi
purist in terms of its minimalist approach
and absolute musical fidelity. Component
parts such as an oversized toroidal power
transformer and special BHC capacitors,
along with circuit topology have been
carefully selected to obtain the best
sound possible. For those who want the
best of both audio and video worlds a
unity gain switch has been included to
enable a surround processor to feed
straight through to the power amplifier
thereby bypassing the volume control.
The RC-1580 includes a low noise MM/
MC phono with discrete, differential
input stages, as well as CD, Tuner, and
three AUX inputs. The preamplifier can be
controlled by RS-232, or IR input. A tone
defeat, media input socket, phones socket
and remote control is included.
