Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RC-1070 Stereo Control Amplifier. When used in a high- quality audio system, it will provide years of musical enjoyment.

The RC-1070 is a full featured, high perfor- mance preamplifier. All aspects of the design have been optimized to retain the full dynamic range and subtle nuances of your music. The RC-1070 has a highly regulated power sup- ply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed power transformer. This low impedance power supply has ample power reserves, enabling the RC-1070 to easily reproduce the most de- manding audio signals. This type of design is more expensive to manufacture, but it is bet- ter for the music.

The RC-1070 printed circuit boards are de- signed with Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This insures that the precise timing of the music is maintained and faithfully recreated. The RC-1070 circuitry uses metal film resistors and polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in important signal paths. All aspects of this de- sign have been examined with the final goal being faithful reproduction of music.

The RC-1070 is straightforward in its installa- tion and operation. If you have experience with other stereo systems, you shouldn’t find any- thing perplexing. Simply plug in the associ- ated components and enjoy.

Please read this manual carefully. It provides complete information on how to incorporate the RC-1070 into your system as well as gen- eral information that will help you get optimum performance.
