Rotel A11 Tribute Integrated Amplifier

The Rotel A11 Tribute is a 50W Class AB integrated amplifier, crafted in collaboration with audio legend Ken Ishiwata as a tribute to his remarkable legacy in the world of high-fidelity audio. Designed for an expressive, true-to-life audio experience, the A11 Tribute features upgraded components and meticulously tuned circuits that bring out the finest details in music. It supports Bluetooth (apt-X and AAC), RCA analog inputs, and a Moving Magnet Phono Stage, making it versatile for various audio sources. With Ishiwata’s refined tuning, the A11 Tribute offers a richer and more immersive listening experience, seamlessly blending high performance with homage to a pioneering engineer.

Ken Ishiwata’s vision, combined with Rotel’s engineering expertise, has resulted in critical enhancements to the amplifier and preamp stages. Upgraded components, including 10 capacitors and two resistors in the amplifier signal path, improve audio precision and depth, while the preamp section sees six capacitor upgrades, representing over half of the signal path components. The addition of custom damping materials in the chassis reduces vibrations, ensuring clear, undistorted sound under all conditions. A Rotel in-house manufactured toroidal transformer powers the amplifier, delivering consistent, dynamic performance across a variety of speaker loads, all easily managed via a front-panel display and IR remote.

This refined amplifier not only embodies Ken Ishiwata’s legacy but also enhances Rotel’s award-winning A11 platform, delivering a powerful and authentic listening experience that stands as a testament to Ishiwata’s meticulous standards.
