About Rotel
A family whose passionate interest in music
led them to manufacture high fidelity compo-
nents of uncompromising quality founded Rotel
over 40 years ago. Through the years that
passion has remained undiminished and the
family goal of providing exceptional value for
audiophiles and music lovers regardless of their
budget, is shared by all Rotel employees.
The engineers work as a close team, listen-
ing to, and fine tuning each new product until
it reaches their exacting musical standards.
They are free to choose components from
around the world in order to make that prod-
uct the best they can. You are likely to find ca-
pacitors from the United Kingdom and Ger-

States, while toroidal power transformers are
manufactured in Rotel’s own factory.
