The engineers work as a close team, listening
to, and fi ne 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 product the
best they can. You are likely to fi nd capacitors
from the United Kingdom and Germany, semi
conductors from Japan or the United States,
while toroidal power transformers are manu-
factured in Rotel’s own factory.

The RC-06 is a full featured, high performance
component. All aspects of the design have been
optimized to retain the full dynamic range and
subtle nuances of your music. The RC-06 has
a highly regulated power supply incorporat-
ing a Rotel custom-designed toroidal power
transformer. This low impedance power supply
has ample power reserves, which enables the
RC-06 to easily reproduce the most demand-
ing audio signals. This type of design is more
expensive to manufacture, but it is better for
the music.

The printed circuit boards (PCB) are designed
with Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This insures that
the precise timing of the music is maintained
and faithfully recreated. The RC-06 circuitry
uses metal fi lm resistors and polystyrene or
polypropylene capacitors in important signal
paths. All aspects of this design have been
examined to ensure the most faithful music
reproduction.
