The A12 integrated amplifier displays the same clean lines and intuitive operation as the A14 with output power rated at 60 Watts per channel RMS into 8 ohms. Rotel engineers begin their quest for uncompromising audio performance at the power supply. This is the heart of an amplifier and an area where considerable time and investment is spent.
Rotel manufactures its own toroidal transformers in-house to high tolerances using raw materials selected from proven, trusted suppliers. The result is a rugged power supply that won’t easily distort the music under dynamic conditions or with difficult speaker loads. With myriad inputs and a digital section designed around the luscious Wolfson 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analog converter, this amplifier offersall of the features you need in an amplifier and none of those you don’t.
THE NEW ROTEL 14 SERIES
The new range of products consists of six models representing the very essence of Rotel’s Balanced Design Concept. The 14 Series includes the A14, A12 and A10 Class AB Integrated Amplifiers, CD14 CD Player, T11 Tuner and T14 Streaming Tuner.
Each model has been carefully designed and acoustically tuned in the UK with critically selected components. The performance of the 14 Series hits well above its price, providing exceptional value to audio enthusiasts and music lovers of all needs.
Peter Kao, Managing director of Rotel says, "The popularity of vinyl and near limitless availability of online music has created a resurgence of interest in HiFi electronics particularly among younger people. The new Rotel 14 Series components offer everything anyone needs today – USB connections for playback of digital music files, wireless streaming from all popular music services, Bluetooth, and phono stage inputs are among the connection options. Most importantly, these new products look and sound fantastic!"
Kao continues, "Rotel’s has been designing audio products for over 55 years and the 14 Series proudly represents the very essence and heritage of the brand. The cosmetics, intuitive controls and exceptional audio performance are supported by a vast array of source inputs. Whether it is classic vinyl or streaming high resolution digital files, the 14 Series will deliver stunning realism."
