<\/p>\nRotel has announced three new and improved models –\u00a0the A10MKII\u00a0Integrated Amplifier\u00a0,\u00a0the A11MKII\u00a0Integrated Amplifier and the\u00a0CD11MKII\u00a0CD Player\u00a0.\u00a0All three models benefit from critical component and circuit topology upgrades, allowing for increased resolution and detail while maintaining their critical price point.<\/p>\n
The A11MKII and CD11MKII are further developments of Rotel’s successful\u00a0Tribute\u00a0series , inspired by\u00a0and co-designed by the late\u00a0Ken Ishiwata .\u00a0The new products aim to improve on the performance of their predecessors while remaining true to Ken’s design philosophy and proudly honoring his over 40 years of audio heritage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Rotel A10MKII\u00a0amplifier\u00a0operates in class AB and delivers\u00a02 x 50 watts\u00a0(into 8 ohms).\u00a0It has a phono stage input for MM cartridges (moving magnet cartridges) and three analog RCA inputs for audio sources.\u00a0It is powered by a toroidal transformer of its own production with capacious filtering storage capacitors.<\/p>\n
More than 67 components have been improved in the A10MKII, including the power supply and voltage amplification stages, resulting in improved sound resolution and detail.\u00a0The included IR remote control allows precise volume control in the analog domain as well as input source selection.\u00a0The front panel also houses bass, treble and balance controls, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack.\u00a0On the rear panel there is one pair of screw terminals for connecting speakers, two 12-V trigger outputs and an automatic power supply switch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Rotel CD 11 MKII\u00a0CD Player\u00a0replaces the existing CD11 Tribute and includes more than 10 critical component updates to the digital circuitry surrounding\u00a0Texas Instruments’ 32-bit\/384kHz\u00a0PCM5102A DAC.<\/p>\n
The smooth CD loading mechanism, VFD display, intuitive front panel controls and the included IR remote control make setup and operation easy.\u00a0RCA outputs provide easy connection to your favorite audio system.\u00a0The CD11MKII is also equipped with a coaxial output, allowing it to be used as a CD transport.\u00a0The 12V trigger input and RS232 connection provide seamless integration with control systems.<\/p>\n
All models are available in both Black and Silver colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
