Product description

Affordable high-end starts with the Rotel RC-1572MKII preamplifier, with its numerous acoustic improvements and refinements, which reproduces your favorite analog and digital sources at an even higher level of performance in impressive clarity with a natural and finely staged stage.

As an essential component of a hi-fi system, the precision of the RC-1572MKII starts with the extremely low-noise power supply and its large in-house manufactured toroidal transformer. This transformer design reduces scattered radiation. Together with an array of low ESR slit-foil capacitors, this power supply provides a stable supply voltage for all sensitive circuits, thus reducing noise and distortion and ensuring an extremely low noise floor.

The premium 32-bit digital/analog converter (DAC) from Texas Instruments, together with its carefully tuned external output filters, converts digital signals with the highest precision for natural reproduction with exceptional fine dynamics and musicality.

Analogue, digital, XLR, wireless aptX™ and AAC Bluetooth and an MM phono input are ready to connect all your favorite music sources. For digital media playback there is a 32bit/384kHz PC USB port with MQA support which is fully Roon certified to give you access to a virtually limitless catalog of online music.

The RC-1572MKII is particularly easy to operate using the supplied remote control and the front display. Automatic power control, signal recognition, fixed volume and sound settings allow optimal adjustment to your listening habits.

RCA, XLR and subwoofer outputs are provided for added installation flexibility. Connections for Ethernet and RS-232 allow easy integration into control systems and software updates.

With your CDs, digital files and vinyl, the RC-1572MKII brings generations of music and music lovers together.
