    The Ideal Home Theater Solution for Uncompromised Performance

    Rotel's RAP-1580MKII is the ideal home theater solution delivering uncompromised performance packaged in a size-efficient chassis that rivals many separates theater component installations. It is an ultra-high-performance multichannel surround receiver supporting DTS:X and Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 surround processing, bringing music and movies to life with stunning clarity.

    Rotel's RAP-1580MKII is simple to operate, powerful, flexible and refined. It is a state-of-the-art single chassis audio/video processor including best-in-class Dirac Room Correction that outperforms most component systems. In stereo or surround sound, this is a serious audio component.

    Designed and Engineered for Audiophiles

    The RAP-1580MKII was designed and engineered with audiophiles in mind. For vinyl enthusiasts, it even includes a built-in MM moving magnet input and internal phono preamp section, allowing you to connect your turntable directly without the need for a dedicated phono preamp.

    The amplifier section is built upon a powerful Class AB design delivering 100 Watts per channel into 8 ohm loads, all channels driven and 200 Watts of power in 4 ohm loads, two channels driven – anchored by a massive Rotel factory-made toroidal transformer.

    The RAP-1580MKII utilizes an array of six high performance Wolfson 24-bit/192kHz Digital-to-Analog Converters. These low noise audiophile quality DACs are supported with premium-grade audio components in circuits tuned by Rotel’s acoustic engineering team in the U.K. The latest Texas Instruments quad-core DSP and the Wolfson DACs ensure the audio meets the highest acoustic standards worthy of Rotel.

    Dirac Live LE

    Multichannel amplifiers can be a challenge to set up properly in order to get the best possible sound from your listening room or home theater. Rotel simplifies the process while delivering expert results.

    Dirac Live LE and included USB measurement microphone delivers unrivaled room correction with improved staging, better clarity and deeper, tighter bass ensuring the RAP-1580MKII delivers optimal performance in any setting, including adjustments in the most difficult frequency region from 20Hz to 500Hz.

    Supports a Vast Array of Sources

    The RAP-1580MKII supports a vast array of audio sources including 3 analog, 6 digital, PC-USB (24b/192k), apt-X Bluetooth, XLR, Moving Magnet Phono Stage, multi-input and front panel iOS USB. The unit also includes 12V trigger controls, IR remote input and outputs, RS232 and Ethernet connections for effortless integration with all popular control systems.

    The front HDMI input and all seven rear HDMI inputs support HDMI 2.0b 4K video with HDCP 2.2 supported on three of these inputs and both 4K/HDR video outputs. The seven-inch front panel graphic display provides easy adjustments of all configuration parameters directly on the unit ideal for set-ups where the equipment is installed in a remote location.

    "It is truly a single piece of audio equipment that can serve your home-theater needs well and still competent enough to satisfy serious stereo music aficionados."

    - Yongki Go, P.H.D., Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, March 8, 2021


    "Rotel returns to analog amplification for their latest top-of-the-line home theater machine—and the results are golden."

    "As I listened, images arose out of inky blackness, not sketchily outlined but fully fleshed out, colorful, and true to life. The top end was squeaky-clean and addictively easy to listen to but not numbed or polite. The Rotel told the truth, and lots of it, and made me love it."

    "...those who want both the power and the subtlety of separates will find this the ultimate music and movie machine."
