Getting Started
8
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RMB-1075
8
Five Channel Power Amplifier. When used in
8
a high-quality music or home theater system,
8
your Rotel amplifier will provide years of mu-
sical enjoyment.
There is nothing understated about the
RMB-1075. It is a massive five-channel power
amplifier, capable of providing extremely high
power output in the most demanding appli-
cations. In fact, the limiting factor in the
RMB-1075's output levels will often be the
capacity of your home's electrical supply. Dis-
crete output devices, a massive power sup-
ply with toroidal transformers, premium com-
ponents, and Rotel's Balanced Design ensure
superb sound quality. High current capabil-
ity allows the RMB-1075 to drive difficult
speaker loads with ease.
Be aware that the RMB-1075 is capable of
high power levels, in excess of 120 watts per
channel into 8 ohms. Make sure that your
speakers can handle the power of the
RMB-1075. If in doubt about your speakers,
ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice.
The RMB-1075 is straightforward in its instal-
lation and operation. If you have experience
with other stereo power amplifiers, you
shouldn't find anything perplexing. Connect
high-quality RCA cables between your preamp
or signal processor and the amplifier inputs,
wire up your speakers, and enjoy.
A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition
to basic installation and operating instructions,
it provides valuable information on various
RMB-1075 system configurations as well as
general information that will help you get op-
timum performance from your system. Please
contact your authorized Rotel dealer for an-
swers to any questions you might have. In ad-
dition, all of us at Rotel welcome your ques-
tions and comments.
Save the RMB-1075 shipping carton and all
enclosed packing material for future use. Ship-
ping or moving the RMB-1075 in anything
other than the original packing material may
result in severe damage to your amplifier.
Be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It
is your best record of the date of purchase,
which you will need in the event warranty ser-
vice is ever required.
