Rotel has announced three new and improved models in the company’s popular 14 Series line including the A10MKII integrated amplifier, A11MKII integrated amplifier and CD11MKII CD player.
According to the press release, all three models benefit from upgrades to critical components and circuit topology to add extra resolution and detail while maintaining their critical price position.
The A11MKII and CD11MKII represent upgrades to Rotel’s hugely successful Tribute Series models which were inspired by – and co-cooperatively engineered with – the late Ken Ishiwata. The new products seek to enhance the performance of their predecessors while remaining faithful to Ken’s design philosophy and continue to proudly pay homage to Ishiwata san’s 40+ year legacy in the audio business.
The A10MKII is an AB Class 2x50W (at 8 Ohms) integrated amplifier, featuring a moving magnet phono stage and three RCA analog line-level inputs and is powered by an in-house manufactured toroidal transformer with robust filtering storage capacitors.
The A10MKII features over 67 component upgrades including in the power and amplifier gain stage bringing improved resolution and detail. The included IR remote control allows adjustment of the volume in the analog domain plus selection of the input source. The front panel also includes bass, treble and balance controls plus a 3.5mm headphone output connector.
The A11MKII is an upgrade of the hugely successful A11 Tribute model and continues to offer an MM phono stage, three RCA analog source inputs plus aptX HD and AAC Bluetooth connectivity. The MKII model also features coaxial and optical inputs providing connection to digital sources at up to 24-bit/192kHz. A Texas Instruments PCM5102A 32-bit/384kHz DAC is part of over 22 critical component upgrades in the digital circuits, which combine to improve staging and resolution.
Last, but not least, the CD11MKII CD player replaces the existing CD11 Tribute model and includes over 10 critical components upgrades in the digital circuits surrounding the TI PCM5102A 32-bit/384kHz DAC. The device includes a coaxial output allowing the unit to be used as a CD transport.
All models are available in both black and silver colors.
