About Rotel

A family whose passionate interest in music led them to manufacture high fidelity compo- nents of uncompromising quality founded Rotel 40 years ago. Over the years that passion has remained undiminished and the goal of providing exceptional value for audiophiles and music lovers regardless of their budget, is shared by all Rotel employees.

You are likely to find ca- pacitors from the United Kingdom and Ger- many, semi-conductors from Japan or the United States, and toroidal power transformers manufactured in Rotel’s own factory.

The RA-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 RA-1070 has a highly regulated power sup- ply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed to- roidal power transformer and custom-made slit foil capacitors. This low impedance power supply has ample power reserves, which en- ables the RA-1070 to easily reproduce the most demanding audio signals. This type of design is more expensive to manufacture, but it is better for the music.
