Rotel 10 series digital amplifiers

By Alex Rothwell

Rotel RB-1091 and RB-1092

Rotel has announced two new smart looking digital amplifiers; the RB-1091 and RB-1092.

The RB-1091 is a new mono design based on the same ICE power technology first utilised in its RMB-1077 amp. The RB-1091 produces an impressive 500 watts into 8 ohms and features Rotel's new Class D technology. The RB-1092 is a stereo version of the RB-1091 amp and so can generate up to 2 x 500 watts into an 8-ohms load.

The RB-1091 and RB-1092 are available in either silver or black finishes, priced at £995 and £1595 respectively.

More information on Rotel can be found here.
