Overview

The RB-1582 MkII's high-end performance begins with an extremely large toroidal transformer combined with a total of 60,000µF storage capacity in special “slit foil" capacitors to provide completely stable power to the output stage. The output stage is a discrete design that consists of 10 high-current bipolar transistors per channel. Input options consist of both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors.

Rotel’s next largest stereo amplifier at 200 Watts per channel provides the massive current to drive the very largest Hi-Fi systems effortlessly. And like its smaller brother, the RB-1582 MkII has been designed to excel at resolving the subtle details in music as well as supplying the brawn required for extremely dynamic passages. It is able to achieve this difficult dual requirement because of the meticulous attention paid to circuit design and parts selection.

The RB-1582 MkII's high-end performance begins with an extremely large toroidal transformer combined with a total of 60,000µF storage capacity in special “slit foil” capacitors to provide completely stable power to the output stage. Slit foil capacitors have the ability to charge and discharge extremely quickly, thereby ensuring signal fidelity during orchestral crescendos or repetitive kick-drum impacts, for example. Both left and right channel construction are laid out in a 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 10 high current bipolar transistors per channel. Input options consist of both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors.

The RB-1582 MkII stereo power amplifier is yet another outstanding example of Rotel’s Balanced Design Concept and will form the heart of a very impressive stereo or home theater system for years to come.

Long Term Update

I felt a long term update is needed and probably helpful for those on the fence. I stand corrected on my previous post. This amp is MUCH better and stronger than I initially thought. The build quality is excellent. The sound is not warm at all. Its neutral and has no imprint at all. That was from my old preamp. This just delivers power and current.. I later added the Rotel pre/pre RSP1576MK2. Oh my goodness. Take what you thought about Rotel and throw it out the window. The trickle down from Michi is evident in all the MK2 models. For this price range: Highly recommended.

Solid value!

Great 2-channel amplifier. Highly recommend if simple 2 channel stereo is your thing.

Awesome

It has the looks, the build quality and the sound I was looking for! It really dives in deeper to the source. It’s revealing but also warm and musical. It’s far from neutral and a welcome addition to my system. I added this to my Arcam AVR for more headroom and I’m blown away. I thought my G class amp sounded sweet. This is way beyond. Thanks Audio Advice for the fast shipment. 100 hrs in and it’s party time!
