Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RC-1070
Stereo Control Amplifier. When used in a high-
quality audio system, it will provide years of
musical enjoyment.
The RC-1070 is a full featured, high perfor-
mance preamplifier. All aspects of the design
have been optimized to retain the full dynamic
range and subtle nuances of your music. The
RC-1070 has a highly regulated power sup-
ply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed
power transformer. This low impedance power
supply has ample power reserves, enabling
the RC-1070 to easily reproduce the most de-
manding audio signals. This type of design is
more expensive to manufacture, but it is bet-
ter for the music.
The RC-1070 printed circuit boards are de-
signed with Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This
insures that the precise timing of the music is
maintained and faithfully recreated. The
RC-1070 circuitry uses metal film resistors and
polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in
important signal paths. All aspects of this de-
sign have been examined with the final goal
being faithful reproduction of music.
The RC-1070 is straightforward in its installa-
tion and operation. If you have experience with
other stereo systems, you shouldn’t find any-
thing perplexing. Simply plug in the associ-
ated components and enjoy.
Please read this manual carefully. It provides
complete information on how to incorporate
the RC-1070 into your system as well as gen-
eral information that will help you get optimum
performance. Please contact your authorized
Rotel dealer for answers to any questions. In
addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your ques-
tions and comments.
