Rotel A12 MKII Integrated Amplifier
Built like an audiophile amplifier
The heart of the A12MKII begins with Rotel’s in-house manufactured oversized toroidal transformer feeding high-efficiency storage and smoothing capacitors for deep, controlled bass energy. The power supply features multiple voltage and current regulators delivering independent power to critical analog, digital and amplification stage circuits isolating sensitive low voltage signals from high power speaker outputs lowering the noise floor and reducing unwanted distortion. Circuit design follows Rotel’s proprietary Balanced Design Concept with physical and electrical isolation techniques. As a result, Rotel is promising performances with lower distortion, wider soundstages and improved depth.
The Class AB amplifier delivers 60 Watts of dynamic power into 8 ohms utilizing high current, fast transient output devices for improved accuracy of the music timing and a more lifelike reproduction of audio into dual A-B speaker binding posts.
Connectivity
The A12MKII has all the inputs for today's music lover including a Moving Magnet Phono Stage for vinyl fans, 4 RCA analog, 4 digital, PC-USB, and high-quality aptXTMBluetooth for wireless streaming. Also a built-in DAC that allows your PC and TV to be looked after.
A premium 32-bit Texas Instruments Digital to Analog converter is Roon tested and MQA certified.
