Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RC-1090
Stereo Control Amplifier. When used in a high-
quality music audio system, it will provide years
of musical enjoyment.
The RC-1090 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-1090 has a highly regulated power sup-
ply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed to-
roidal power transformer and custom-made
slit foil capacitors. This low impedance power
supply has ample power reserves, which en-
ables the RC-1090 to easily reproduce the most
demanding audio signals. This type of design
is more expensive to manufacture, but it is
better for the music.
