The RB-1080 rests close to the pinnacle of Rotel’s two channel power amplifier offerings. Power output (200 watts per 
channel into 8 ohms) is extraordinary. The Rotel-made toroidal transformer feeds separate power supplies for each channel. 
British BHC Slit Foil storage capacitors provide quick charge/discharge times for instantaneous response to the most 
demanding signal peaks. Damping factor, at 1,000, shows this amplifier’s unparalleled ability to lock onto the most difficult 
speakers to precisely control diaphragm motion and give you superior sound quality. Heavy duty dual binding posts encourage 
the use of the most advanced speaker cables while switchable balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs provide 
extraordinary system configuration flexibility. Front panel heat sinks add a strikingly dramatic look. Separate inputs and 
outputs for 12 volt “trigger” signals and a detachable AC cord make this amplifier well suited for custom-installed systems 
with total remote control capability.
