TOKYO, JAPAN (August 28, 2020) – Rotel Electronics is excited to reveal the launch of two special editions of the company’s popular A11 integrated amplifier and CD11 CD player, each model named as tribute versions in celebration of the company’s partnership with the late audio legend Ken Ishiwata. The A11 and CD11 were chosen as two of his favorite products and the Rotel team felt that the Class AB 2 x 50W A11 integrated amplifier & CD11 CD player represented the perfect base for elevating products that were already excellent and updating them into something even more special.
Ishiwata was widely admired in the hi-fi industry for his unique ability to identify the most ideal products for modification and take these products’ performance to new levels, often with a modest increase in price. Ken Ishiwata offered initial appraisal for the new specification with the Rotel engineering team, producing preliminary prototypes before having the final specifications approved by Rotel. Having approved the changes creation of the first prototypes, Ken sadly passed away in November 2019, before the project could be completed. In his memory, Rotel worked to complete the product to fulfil Ken’s original vision.
The A11 Tribute and the CD11 Tribute result is an increase in resolution and detail, while delivering a more musical presentation with both improved rhythm and timing. The upgraded A11 Tribute and CD11 Tribute products are available now, each with a special badge in honor as a nod to the man whose total passion for music was the impetus that inspired their creation. Product will be available starting in September of 2020 through authorized Rotel dealers.
