Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RC-1070 
Stereo Control Amplifier. When used in a 
high-quality audio system, it will provide

The RC-1070 is a full featured, high perfor-
mance preamplifier. All aspects of the de-
sign have been optimized to retain the full 
dynamic range and subtle nuances of your 
music. The RC-1070 has a highly regulated 
power supply incorporating a Rotel custom-
designed power transformer. This low imped-
ance power supply has ample power reserves, 
enabling the RC-1070 to easily reproduce the 
most demanding audio signals. This type of 
design is more expensive to manufacture, but 
it is better for the music.
