RA-1572 MKII

The RA-1572MKII stereo integrated amplifier is a component for discerning music lovers that takes advantage of Rotel 's best analog and digital technologies to bring music to life with exceptional fidelity. The RA-1572MKII has been optimized in every aspect to deliver a robust 120 continuous watts in Class AB per channel over 8 ohms and is equipped with substantial innovations in both the design of its constituent circuits and the components used in them.

As is the norm in Rotel amplifiers, the RA-1572MKII incorporates an oversized toroidal transformer entirely designed and built by the brand in its own facilities. This transformer feeds a bank of 4 high-efficiency thin-film, T-grid, low-ESR storage capacitors in order to provide deep, controlled bass.

Additionally, the RA-1572MKII supports digital sources thanks to a Texas Instruments DAC with 32-bit/384 kHz technology and critically tuned output filtering circuitry, aiming to reproduce even the finest details. The amplifier's preamp circuitry and linear gain stages have been custom-developed to ensure maximum agility, natural detail and an immersive soundstage. The front panel includes a status display screen, source and volume level controls, AB speaker selection for Zone 2 and a 3.5mm jack headphone jack.
