ROTEL LAUNCHES A10MKII, A11MKII, AND CD11MKII MODELS FEATURING COMPONENT UPGRADES, SONIC IMPROVEMENTS AND ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY

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.

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-operatively 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 Integrated Amplifier supports a Moving Magnet Phono Stage and three RCA analog source inputs and is powered by an in- house manufactured toroidal transformer with robust filtering storage capacitors, as well as over 67 component upgrades including in the power and amplifier gain stage bringing improved resolution and detail.

The A11MKII Integrated Amplifier and CD11MKII Compact Disc Player are upgrades of the hugely successful A11 & CD11 Tribute models.

The A11MKII Integrated Amplifier continues to offer a Moving Magnet Phono Stage, three RCA analog source inputs plus aptXTM 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 and a Texas Instruments PCM5102A 32-bit/384kHz DAC - part of over 22 critical component upgrades in the digital circuits, which combine to improve staging and resolution.

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.
