General description
The Rotel RB-1552 MKII is a stereo power amplifier known for its power and precision. With a design that focuses on delivering detailed and dynamic audio, this amplifier is suitable for a variety of listening environments.

A notable feature is the independent power supply for the left and right channels, ensuring clean signal transmission. In addition, high-quality slit-foil capacitors have been used, which can quickly supply power for dynamic music passages.

For connection to other equipment, the RB-1552 MKII offers both balanced XLR inputs and unbalanced RCA inputs. This makes it easy to integrate the amplifier into various audio systems.

With its solid construction and attention to detail, the RB-1552 MKII is a reliable choice for those looking for an amplifier that is both powerful and refined.

Background information
The Rotel RB-1552 MKII is a Class AB stereo power amplifier designed with Rotel’s Balanced Design Concept philosophies, which revolve around an optimal balance between price, performance and component selection. The engineers at Rotel-including Daren Orth (CTO)-select critical components manually, including low-noise capacitors from Japan. Internal cabling is kept short to reduce signal loss, and the enclosure is ruggedized for minimal vibration. Made in Rotel’s own factory to ensure quality control.
Brand history
Rotel was officially founded in 1961 and established as a family business in Japan. Development and production have always been managed internally, especially core components such as toroidal transformers that are essential for quality power. In 1981, Rotel began a long-term partnership with Bowers & Wilkins, leading to exclusive distribution in North America and several European markets. This relationship resulted in 2006 in a joint venture with shared manufacturing and logistics facilities in Zhuhai, China.

CD

De Compact Disc (CD) kwam zoals de meeste uitvindingen niet uit de lucht vallen. Na de uitvinding van de laser in 1958 werd in 1961 het eerste octrooi voor optisch leesbare schijven ingediend. In 1972 werden de eerste digitale videoplaten geïntroduceerd. Na een flop van Philips kwam de fabrikant in 1979 samen met Sony met de eerste cd, wat erop stond weten wij niet maar in 1982 kwam de eerste cd voor de markt uit, het was het album Visitors van ABBA. In dit jaar kwam de eerste speler beschikbaar en zo begon de verdrijving van de lp uit de markt. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen. Heb je cd’s, geniet er vooral nog eens van, ze hebben immers geen oneindige levensduur.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
