    1066 bass management fix

    I've read through the posts and did not find an answer.

    If I were to go and buy the 1066 today, would the bass management issue be addressed out of the box? The thought of needing to make this fix does not appeal to me.

    Thanks

    Partially, yes, if it has the latest firmware. The only area where it wouldn't be the case is if you're playing DVD-A or SACD. Otherwise, it should be fine. If you are using high resolution, multi-channel music sources, you might also need to cut the two resistors, which would be the final step.

    Rotel is not shipping the units with "snipped resistor" fix though, although, if you ordered one, you could possibly request that Rotel do that end of the fix prior to shipping though. Rotel will gladly do the fix for you if you ship a unit back to them. It is free of charge, except the shipping costs.

      Thanks. I do have the 47ai and would use SACD and DVD-A inputs. I'd much rather have the fix done ahead of time. Does the "snipped resistor" fix have any other consequences?

          by Tarbaby
          I know this subject has been beaten to death but here it is again.
          I'm planning on getting a demo 1066 tomorrow, I know that the 1066 has been replace by the 1068, but Dolby Prologic IIx doesn't do anything for me since I'm running 5.1. I will be doing the bass management fix for the 1066 and...

          Anyone have the BM hardware fix done yet?
          by stereo.frog
          Just wondering if anyone has applied the BM fix on the 1066 yet? This would be the one where you cut a couple of wires/components on the system board.

          How is it working out?

          Hello,

          I finally registered since I had something useful to add. More to come.

          I've spent a good deal of time characterizing the Rotel RSP-1066's bass management under all input conditions. Below is the link to my web page with Rotel's Bass management report and workarounds...

          1066 BM setup

          Hi! New to the forum, as I just got my 1066/1075 combo last week.
          I'm glad I found this site, because I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to do my bass management.

          My equipment is as follows:

          Rotel RSP-1066 and SACD/DVD-A playback
          by Ben
          1066 owners – I ‘m asking for advice! I’ve had an RSP 1066 on order since May, when the initial shipment to Australia sold out.

          Now ‘my’ unit is due to arrive in Oz in just a week – and Rotel still has not corrected the bass management issues in the firmware.
