Each unit has an extruded and anodized aluminum faceplate. Keeping the preamplifier and amplifier sections separate is considered superior for decreased noise and better channel separation, with the benefit of independent power supplies. The Rotel RC-1590 stereo preamplifier and RB-1590 two-channel amplifier are optimally designed to function together as a high-end two-channel audio system (although you could certainly use them separately with other components, too). Manufacturing your own products does not guarantee superiority, but let's see how it affects two of the newest products from Rotel. Some of my favorite audio equipment is third-party produced still, when I hear that a company does the design and manufacturing, I can't help but be impressed. Remember, Foxconn manufactures the iPhone for Apple, so we know it can work.
Now, I have no problem with that business model. While this may not sound astonishing, you may be surprised to know how many companies use a third-party vendor to manufacture their product designs. Yes, Rotel has a factory, since the company actually manufactures its products, as well as many of the parts that go into its products. Years later, their relationship would extend to a factory-sharing agreement.
Based in Zhuhai, China, Rotel has a 50-year history of making high-end audio equipment and is a family business, which has been in a lasting partnership with B&W for product distribution. When doing an audio product review, I make an effort to learn some history about the manufacturer, and I was surprised by what I discovered about Rotel.
