The RC-1580 is a full featured, high performance remote-controllable preamplifier. All aspects of the design have been optimized to retain the full dynamic range and subtle nuances of your music. The RC-1580 has a highly regulated power supply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed toroidal power transformer and custom-made slit foil capacitors. This low impedance power supply has ample power reserves, which enables the RC-1580 to easily reproduce the most demanding audio signals. This type of design is more expensive to manufacture, but it is better for the music.
The RC-1580 has RCA cable main output connections. The printed circuit boards (PCB) are designed with Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This insures that the precise timing of the music is maintained and faithfully recreated. The RC-1580 circuitry uses metal film resistors and polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in important signal paths. All aspects of this design have been examined with the final goal being faithful reproduction of music. The RC-1580 has a superb phono preamp stage, derived from Rotel's finest phono preamplifier, the RHQ 10. The preamp stage can be used with either a moving magnet (MM) or a moving coil (MC) phono cartridge. This shows our commitment to phono sound quality and our interest in the recreation of fine music.
