About Rotel

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

The engineers work as a close team, listen- ing to, and fine tuning each new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards. They are free to choose components from around the world in order to make that prod- uct the best they can. You are likely to find ca- pacitors from the United Kingdom and Ger- many, semi conductors from Japan or the United States, while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in Rotel’s own factory.
