All of us at Rotel thank you for buying this

product and hope it will bring you many hours
of enjoyment.
Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RB-1091
Mono Power Amplifier. When used in a high-
quality music or home theater system, your
Rotel amplifier will provide years of musical
enjoyment.
The RB-1091 is a sophisticated single-channel
power amplifier. It's digital amplifier circuitry,
switching power supply, premium components,
and Rotel's Balanced Design ensure superb
sound quality. High current capability allows
the RB-1091 to drive difficult speaker loads
with ease.
Operating Features
• Single channel amplifier.
• User selectable power on/off configuration:
manual or controlled by remote 12 volt
trigger signal.
• Protection circuitry with front panel indica-
tor.
• Dual binding post and Speakon
output.
A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to
installation and operating instructions, it pro-
vides information on various RB-1091 system
configurations. Please contact your authorized
Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you
might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel wel-
come your questions and comments.
Save the RB-1091 shipping carton and packing
material for future use. Shipping or moving the
RB-1091 in anything other than the original
packing material may result in severe damage
to your amplifier.
Be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is
your best record of the date of purchase, which
you will need in the event warranty service is
ever required.
Placement
The RB-1091 generates heat as part of its
normal operation. The heat sinks and ventila-
tion openings in the amplifier are designed to
dissipate this heat. The ventilation slots in the
top cover must be unobstructed. There should
be 10 cm (4 inches) of clearance around the
chassis, and reasonable airflow through the
installation location, to prevent the amplifier
from overheating. Likewise, remember the
weight of the amplifier when you select an
installation location. Make sure that the shelf
or cabinet can support its weight.
