ROTEL CELEBRATES 60^th ANNIVERSARY WITH INTRODUCTION OF NEW DIAMOND SERIES MODELS

TOKYO, JAPAN (JUNE 22, 2022) – Rotel is proud to announce the RA-6000 Integrated Amplifier and DT-6000 DAC Transport to celebrate 60 years as a Japanese family owned and operated audio business. The “Diamond Series” models earn their distinction from the brand’s 60-year legacy of unwavering commitment to quality and passion for audio performance, having been established in 1961 in Tokyo, Japan by founder Mr. Tomoki Tachikawa.

The Diamond Series models feature industrial design engineered with modern, contemporary styling complimenting Rotel’s current offerings while paying tribute to the brand’s iconic heritage through generations of legacy models.

The RA-6000 Integrated Amplifier delivers 350 watts of output power into 4-ohm speaker loads leveraging technical and performance designs from the brand’s flagship Michi series models. The RA-6000 is the beneficiary of Michi circuits design, acoustic components, and power supply engineering methods, further featuring upgrades found in Rotel’s recent MKII models. An array of source inputs ensures connection to modern and legacy audio sources including coaxial (3), optical (3), analog (3), PC-USB supporting MQA, Bluetooth with aptX^TM HD for high performance wireless streaming, XLR Balanced, iOS USB for Apple devices and a Moving Magnet Phono stage for vinyl enthusiasts.

The DT-6000 DAC Transport is the ultimate source component for discerning audiophiles and music lovers alike, bringing music to life with unprecedented precision. The unit includes a PC-USB input supporting MQA and DSD audio playback and renders PCM 32-bit/384kHz music files through the coaxial and optical inputs supporting music streamers and media players with the included tray loading CD Mechanism providing ultimate playback flexibility.

The focal point of the DT-6000 is the 8-channel ESS Sabre ES9028PRO Digital to Analog converter configured to dedicate 4 Mono DACs each to the left and right channels. Redundant signal processing of the digital data streams extracts nuances of audio with exacting clarity and detail with an exceptionally low noise floor. The DAC feeds custom engineered fully balanced differential output filters with sonic components critically tuned for life-like reproduction of the audio. The DT-6000 is powered by an in-house manufactured shielded toroidal transformer with high efficiency slit foil smoothing capacitors reducing stray emissions and delivering independent, isolated, low noise power to all critical circuits, further reducing noise and distortion.

The Diamond Series RA-6000 and DT-6000 will be available in the United States in black and silver finishes through Authorized Rotel Dealers with shipments beginning in July of 2022 and the rest of the world shortly thereafter.
