RSX-1560

Rotel’s RSX-1560 receiver delivers top-of-the-line performance and all of the features you have come to expect from our premium brand. At 7 x 100 watts into 8 ohms, or 7 x 200 watts into 4 ohms, this advanced surround receiver can fill your family or media room with dynamic, pulse-pounding, cinematic sound effects.

Yet, it is just as adept at revealing all of the nuances in your favorite music recordings. The RSX-1560 surround receiver features an audiophile quality Class D amplifier design, along with HDMI 1.3 connections and the ability to decode Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, dts-HD Master Audio and dts HD Hi-Resolution audio codecs. The RSX-1060 is a true theater command center and can also provide a multiroom audio solution with up to three additional audio zones throughout the home.

RSX-1550

The RSX-1550 provides virtually all of the same features found on the RSX-1560 but with a 5 x 100 watt per channel output design. If your needs grow, its on-board seven channel processing enables you to add an RB-1562 (2 x 100 watt per channel) power amplifier for full 7.1 operation.

No obsolescent designs here! The RSX-1550 is a Class AB design built on over 40 years manufacturing experience. It includes HDMI 1.3 connections and the same ability to handle the new audio codecs by Dolby and dts as the RSX-1560 and also includes the same multizone audio and custom installation features.
If you are considering a five-channel theater now but may want to grow into a larger system later on, this is the surround receiver for you.

*Note – The RSX-1550 is not a standard U height product but it can be rack mounted and remotely controlled via RS-232, IR, or 12 volt (depending on model) for complete stealth operation.

POWER AMPLIFIERS

RMB - 1565

The RMB-1565 is designed around the same superb Class D design as the RMB-1575 but with a slightly smaller output of 5 x 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms. It is the perfect choice for medium to large home theater rooms.

Plus, just like its bigger brother, it will double its output with more difficult lower impedance loads, thereby providing 5 x 200 watts into 4 ohms. It also includes all of the custom installation features such as 12 volt triggers, and “U height” dimensions that are demanded of today’s modern power amplifiers.

Specification

100 watts x 5 channels high performance audio amplifier
200 watts x 5 channels 4 ohms
Class D energy efficient design
12 volt trigger
Five way binding posts

Rotel RMB - 1575

Larger listening environments require prodigious amounts of power to deliver room filling sound. That’s exactly what you get with Rotel’s 5 x 250 watt power amplifier. It is important to note that this specification is provided with “all channels driven at 8 ohms” unlike some other manufacturers who stretch the ratings by listing them at 6 ohms or with only one or two channels being driven.

Rotel’s RMB-1575 is a true high current audiophile design and can double its output to 5 x 500 watts at 4 ohms with all channels driven. Pure muscle alone, however, does not make a superb amplifier. The RMB-1575 excels at extracting all of the smallest audio details from both music and movie soundtracks alike.

Best of all, even with its high power capability the RMB-1075 runs relatively cool, extending the components lifespan thanks to its innovative Class D design.
