Lewis CaliburnRotel has announced the new A8 Integrated Amplifier as the latest in the growing family of award-winning 14 Series models. The A8 leverages Rotel’s 60+ year heritage and experience in engineering and manufacturing high-performance, high-value audio components.
The A8 enters the lineup as the most cost-efficient model in the series engineered as a no-compromise Class AB fully integrated solution. Built on a Rotel in-house manufactured high current toroidal transformer the A8 delivers 40 watts of classic Rotel output power into 4 ohm speakers. The resulting audio delivers music with deep controlled bass energy, an ultra-refined midrange with a highly detailed soundstage, all expertly crafted into a slim 60mm chassis.
The 3 RCA inputs and Moving Magnet Phono stage ensure compatibility with a user’s favourite analogue sources and classic vinyl. The front panel Bass, Treble and Balance controls allow personal, hands-on tuning of the audio. The included IR remote control provides seamless operation of power on/off, volume level and source selection.
For private listening, a 1/8” headphone jack is included, while rear panel five-way speaker binding posts allow for installation flexibility.
“Rotel continually invests in product innovations and the A8 was a challenge readily accepted by the engineering teams,” says Daren Orth, Rotel’s Chief Technology Officer. “The opportunity to develop a high-performance Integrated Amplifier solution targeted at an entry-level price point, without compromise, stands as a testament to the dedication, passion, and commitment Rotel brings to music lovers everywhere.”
Available in black and silver variants, the A8 is priced at £399.00 / €399.00 / $449.99 and is shipping now.
