Rotel’s C8 Class AB Custom Installation Amplifier delivering on our 60-Year
heritage of Performance, Quality and Value. The C8 delivers 8-channels at 70
Watts per channel of premium, Class AB amplification, all channels driven into
4-ohm speaker loads bridgeable to 140 Watts per channel.
The oversized in-house manufactured toroidal transformer drives sixteen high
current output devices fed by an array of bulk storage smoothing capacitors
ensuring deep, agile and controlled bass energy while maintaining rhythm and
timing of all genres of music.
The C8 includes 4 Analog inputs available to all Zones through internal
matrix-switching and a Priority Zone PA Override option allowing critical
announcements to be instantly available to all zones. The front panel display
and user controls provide selection of the matrixed source input and
independent volume, bass and treble settings ensuring the C8 can be tuned for
listening preferences, speaker profiles and room characteristics. Setup is
also available via the front panel for easy system configuration when mounted
in remote locations ensuring ultimate installation flexibility.
Control system integration is available via the IP and RS232 interfaces and
the 12-Volt trigger input offers simplified power control. Detachable Phoenix
speaker terminals allow for prewire installations with secure-locking
terminals reducing service calls.
The custom engineered 2U height chassis does not require top or bottom
clearance spacing for ultra-efficient rack mounting. All rack mounting
hardware is included.
The C8 is available in black only.
