The RC-1590 stereo preamplifier has been engineered to the highest audio performance levels and provides an incredible level of control and flexibility for the user. Starting with a high-performance power supply consisting of two Rotel custom-built toroidal transformers, these transformers provide low-noise isolation between the analogue and digital signals, and are part of a reference-grade power supply with individual analogue and digital regulator circuits and custom-made slit-foil capacitors.
Rotel engineers designed this reference-quality stereo preamplifier to complement the RB-1590 stereo power amplifier. Analogue inputs are all very low noise circuitry and include a high-performance moving magnet phono stage. Digital inputs are fully isolated and feature a precision 32-bit 768kHz Digital-to-Analogue Converter (DAC).
The RC-1590 is fully featured with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, a TI precision volume control IC, a fixed volume line output, dual mono subwoofer outputs, digital outputs (coax and optical), digital inputs (3 coax and 3 optical), AUX, CD, and tuner analogue inputs, internal aptX Bluetooth with rear-mounted external antenna, a front USB input with 2.1A charging, and a rear panel PC-USB 24-bit/192kHz input supporting DSD.
Other essential features include a remote control, 2 x 12-volt trigger outputs, a dimmable display, an automatic power-off function, RS232 and IP control for automation system integration, internet-based software updates, Rotel Link connection, and a front-mounted 3.5mm headphone output jack.
