Rotel RX1052 2.0 CH 200W Home Theater Receiver

The RX-1052 conclusively proves that “stereo” is very much a part of today’s world where both music and movies provide enriching entertainment for the entire family. The RX-1052 doesn’t limit itself to one room either. In fact, the RX-1052’s unique combination of capabilities means you can enjoy your music and video sources in many different areas of your home: the den, beside the pool, in the kitchen, or simply relaxing in the living room.

Where Performance Counts
Consider the RX-1052’s basic capabilities for starters. Here, Balanced Design results in superior performance indeed. We rate power output very conservatively at 100 watts RMS per channel. But there are important differences between this rating and ones you may see from other manufacturers. That’s because the RX-1052 features a rock-solid power supply built around an oversized custom-manufactured toroidal transformer coupled to high quality storage capacitors. Eight discrete, high current output transistors insure uncompromising reproduction of the most difficult sources, even when the RX-1052 is used with inefficient speakers in large rooms. Connecting those speakers is easy thanks to high quality, four-way binding posts. And switching between speaker pairs is even easier thanks to remote selection. For the vinyl aficionado – or just folks who continue to enjoy a substantial record collection – the RX-1052 features a high quality phono preamplifier optimized for moving magnet cartridges.

Your New Stereo Centerpiece – With Video!
For those who don’t desire the multiple speaker boxes required for surround sound, the RX-1052 is the perfect complement to a new flat-panel TV and video sources like a DVD player or satellite box. Four composite video inputs, a monitor output, and video
switching makes integrating your existing audio gear with the newest video components surprisingly easy.

Beyond A Single Room
The RX-1052 can be the multi-room/multi-source heart of a “whole house” audio/video system! When used with six channels of external amplification – either three stereo amps or an all-in-one six channel model like Rotel’s RMB-1066 – the RX-1052 lets you direct up to eight audio or A/V sources to as many as four different locales. You maintain fully independent source selection, power on/off, and volume adjustment for each zone! And if you want to “get down and party,” the RX-1052’s “Party Mode” lets you do just that by piping the same source throughout your home. The RX-1052 includes four independent composite video outputs, too, so you can watch what you want where you want to watch it. Independent IR (infrared) links give you source control from any room while four separate 12 volt “trigger” circuits energize just those system components you need for maximum enjoyment – and maximum energy conservation.
