and music lovers regardless of their budget,
is shared by all Rotel employees.
The engineers work as a close team, listening
to, and fi ne tuning each new product until it
reaches their exacting musical standards. They
are free to choose components from around
the world in order to make that product the
best they can. You are likely to fi nd capacitors
