About Rotel
A family whose passionate interest in music led them to manufac-
ture high fidelity components of uncompromising quality founded
Rotel over 30 years ago. Through the years that passion has re-
mained undiminished and the family goal of providing exceptional
value for audiophiles and music lovers regardless of their budget,
is shared by all Rotel employees.
The engineers work as a close team, listening to, and fine tuning
each new product until it reaches their exacting musical stan-
dards. They are free to choose components from around the
world in order to make that product the best they can. You are
likely to find capacitors from the United Kingdom and Germany,
semi conductors from Japan or the United States, while toroidal
power transformers are manufactured in Rotel’s own factory.
Rotel’s reputation for excellence has been earned through hun-
dreds of good reviews and awards from the most respected re-
viewers in the industry, who listen to music every day. Their
comments keep the company true to its goal - the pursuit of
equipment that is musical, reliable and affordable.
