Product Description
This is truly a golden age for music lovers. The audio sources on the market today offer countless options for listening to music in high quality. Streaming at CD quality or better, high-resolution download sites, storage devices for every budget, the simple CD that never goes out of style, and the resurgence of vinyl are all options that can offer a wealth of content in high fidelity. To listen to music the way the artists intended, you need a system that can offer maximum flexibility and acoustic quality.

The RA-1592 integrated amplifier ticks all the right boxes, offering all the benefits of our award-winning RC-1590 preamplifier and RB-1582 MkII power amplifier in one elegant package. With a Class AB amplifier delivering an impressive 200 watts per channel of power, and featuring high-performance audio components, the RA-1592 is well suited to large speaker systems. An essential element of the power supply is a premium Rotel toroidal transformer, which also features special slit-foil storage capacitors and a dual mono topology. These features ensure that even the most intricate and intricate melodies are reproduced with incredible realism.

In addition, for even higher performance, the RA-1592's preamplifier features an AKM 32-bit, 768kHz digital-to-analog converter (DAC) built in, with top-quality analog stages. The DAC and its circuitry are compatible with a wide range of inputs. These include 24-bit/192kHz PC-USB with DSD support, 3 coaxial inputs, 3 optical inputs, built-in Bluetooth aptX®, and a front USB input for iPod. For those who absolutely love listening to analog music, there's a phono (MM) input, a balanced XLR input, and 3 RCA analog inputs.

User-selectable AB speaker outputs, with 5-way binding posts, RCA pre-out, and dual subwoofer outputs, offer maximum installation flexibility. Amplifier protection circuitry warns of DC offset, overcurrent, short circuits, and temperature fluctuations to prevent damage to electronics and speakers.

Custom features that can be integrated into the system include RS232 serial interface, Ethernet/IP control, 2 trigger outputs, a remote IR input, and automated digital signal detection for power control, which can be integrated with streaming channels and control systems.

The RA-1592 integrated amplifier is the finest Rotel has ever produced in its 55 years of manufacturing high-performance audio components.
