Why do buttons on the face plate have to be so small? Small buttons (usually) means small print. I get that it is a 'design' thing, and minimalism is the name of the game, but it is frustrating to use. My onkio had smaller buttons and I hated trying to find the button I needed...

I can use this with my tvs optical right. I understand I won't get surround or atmos but I don't mind as long as I could run both sets of speakers. I have the new Polk Reserve 200s they say are 4ohm but not incredibly hard to drive. Thoughts ?
@crutchfield

The Rotel RA-1592 MKII does have 3 optical digital inputs. They do support 2ch stereo PCM audio up to 24-bit/192kHz. If only one set of speakers will be used at any given time, the speakers may have an impedance as low as 4 ohms. When using both the A and B speakers , all the speakers should have an impedance of 8 ohms or more and you'll want to be sure your speakers are rated to handle this power output. The Polk Reserve 200s are rated for 70 watts RMS and a nominal impedance of 8-ohms.

Tv's don't generally produce great sound from an optical output. This unit is overkill if your are employing that sort of sound set up. It would be best to feed this amp a quality signal into it's balanced xlr inputs or using a receivers pre-outs to use this to power the front speakers of a surround sound set up.

Why is it that Rotels integrated amps have no ground terminal on the ac port? Isn't that kinda important?
@crutchfield
2 жыл бұрын
It is not necessary for gear like preamps, power amps, receivers, etc.. to be grounded. Things like line conditioners and surge protectors should be grounded. They use the ground for the surge or to dump the noise they filter out of the power.
@mortimersnerd1348

@@crutchfield This is not a valid point. Look at gear from other manufacturers. They all have a ground pin on their ac port. Your suggesting everyone should have a line conditioner/surge protector in their system. Most do not. They just plug directly into their wall outlets. Not to mention there is a GND terminal on the back of the unit for Phono connections...that would be fruitless since "where is the ground current suppose to go?" The unit is not grounded. The feature set on this unit is wonderful, but I'll have to pass on it just for this one reason.

We found an owner's manual on B&W's web site for the Matrix 804 which states the suitable amps should output 50-200 watts at 4 ohms but this amp outputs 350 watts at 4 ohms so it is not a good match for those speakers. But the 804 D4 speakers are different. B&W recommends they be matched to amps that output 50-200 watts at 8 ohms and this amp does match that rating! It will work with the 804 D4 speakers.

I own the RA 1592 and I have to say I dont agree with a "wonderful remote" . I M O its a crap remote . It has a wide and boring design with cheap feel to it and it doesnt feel nice in my hand. Also it has to be pointed directly towards the amp to work wich is annoying . Even the remote to my cheap tv do it better . I also have a low freqienzed buzz in my left channel even with the signal to the speakers is off ( volyme 0) so its Not the regular thermal induction noice .I can only hear it with my ear directly in front of the tweeter so no big deal. Maybe a software problem or a faulty transistor I dont know. But other than that its a great amp with lots of watts for the buck .
