    Connecting a RB-1080 and an RC-1070 they switch on

    Ok...now that I have your attention.
    I am decidedly non-techie. When I read manuals and instructions , I generally stare at the page alot, scratch my head and say, " What da..."
    I have an RB 1080 amp and an RC-1070 pre-amp.
    I've read the manual, but can't figure out how to get everything to turn on at once.....? Ya know, turn on the pre-amp and everything...Amp, PreAmp all come on together.
    And please try and make the explanation simpple. My brain can't take much more...
    Gracias
    Don

      You should see a 12 Volt trigger socket (take one of those Mono-Headphone like connectors) on the RC-1070 and a simular one on the RB-1080 (unless you bought them used, the older ones don't have it).

      Connect them using a male-male Mono Phone jack cable... IE: connectors with this end on them:

          You may want to avoid the 12V trigger on the RB-1080 since some owners have had fuse plowing issues on the 1080. Not that this has anything to do with 12V trigger; a safety measure maybe. Those who have avoided the 12V trigger have had less fuse problems. Just a heads-up Don.

              If my trigger causes a problem I'd have Rotel fix it,triggers are kinda handy.For some reason Rotel is the only units I've ever owned that don't have the trigger delayed by a few seconds(after pre/pro on) to turn on the amp.

                  Shouldn't that be something they can add to a software update?

                      On my RB-1092 the amp comes on a few seconds after the pre and turns off a few seconds after the pre.

                          Well, I can't use the included line because it isnt long enough. My amp is too far from my pre-amp...thanks amigos.

                              I had the opportunity yesterday to audition a pair of Paradigm Studio 100s with the Rotel RC1070/RB1070 preamp & power amp combination. My ears were very pleased. However, I am curious about the audible difference that the Rotel RC1082/RB1080 would make with these same speakers. Or maybe going with...

                              by gymguymass
                              I am in the process of ordering the RC1070 stereo preamp and RB1080 power amp, and am curious if anyone has any recommendations for interconnects and speaker cables. I currently own a pair of Mirage OM10 speakers. My music tastes run from rock (Metallica, Guns n Roses, Tool, etc) to female vocalists...

                              Adding Sub to RB1080 for stereo?
                              by wireseeker
                              Hi all

                              Just a quick question really. I have heard that some people put a sub onto a stereo system. Is this possible?

                              I have the RC1070 and RB1080 and and I want to know if one can put a sub on this system? If yes, will it work properly?

                              Does anyone know, why RB-1090 does not has 12V TRIGGER input ? I'm planning to get one near future, been reading alot about the RB-1090, but when I looked at the back panel drawing of the RB-1090 on Rotel site, it's does not show 12V TRIGGER input on its back panel, Is there a reason for it, not to...

                              RB 1080 and the 12v trigger/fuse issue
                              by anotherdavid
                              Hi all

                              first post, new RB 1080 owner

                              I've read through a few posts here regarding an issue with fuses blowing on the RB 1080, apparantly, but not exclusively, when using the 12v trigger to switch it.

                              Is there any way to tell if an amp has had the modification...
