Rotel RMB-1585

Authoritative, nuanced power for home theater

The RMB-1585 is Rotel’s flagship home theater amplifier — it provides a solid 200 watts to each of five speakers, like your front left/right/center channels plus two surrounds. Weighing in at nearly 80 lbs., this massive amp has two custom-designed toroidal transformers inside, regulated by high-quality, British-made capacitors. And it’s not just about raw power for volume — it also offers precise control over the stop/start motion of the drivers, for a dynamic, accurate listening experience.

Rotel engineered this amplifier to deliver nuanced sound in a multi-channel surround sound system controlled by a matching Rotel preamp/processor. There are balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs on the rear panel, plus 5-way binding posts for connecting each speaker. Rack mounting ears are included.
