Rotel A8 Integrated Amplifier with MM Phono Input
The Rotel A8 Integrated Amplifier enters the lineup as the most cost-efficient model in the series and a Class AB fully integrated solution.
Built into a slim 60mm chassis, and true to Rotel’s tradition, the A8 is built around an in-house manufactured, bespoke, high-current toroidal transformer helping to deliver a genuine 40 watts of output power into 4 ohm speakers.
The three RCA inputs ensure compatibility with analogue sources, and the A8 includes a Moving Magnet Phono stage is ready for spinning vinyl.
The front panel Bass, Treble and Balance controls allow personal, hands-on tuning of the audio, while the included IR remote control provides operation of volume and source selection. Rear panel 5-way speaker binding posts allow for installation flexibility. For private listening, a 1/8” headphone jack is included.
User-friendly features such as a detachable IEC power cord, two 12V trigger outputs, heavy 5-way speaker binding posts, and signal-sensing auto power on/off functions ensure compatibility with any installation.
The A8 is available in both black and silver colours.
