    RLC 1040/1080 maker?

    I was noticing that the power centers made by rotel have an APC sticker or label on them below the LCD window. I also know that there is an international company called APC that specifically makes electrical power centers/conditioners, cables, swiches, etc. for the home and for industrial purposes. Is there any conection between the two companies?? In other words, does APC make the units for Rotel? Not that it really makes a difference to me - I just am curious and want a 1040 unit. APC looks like a very reputible company.

    Check out the following website if your are not familiar with APC:

      The Rotel units are indeed rebadged APC units with a modified to match Rotel, design motif. It's pretty common knowledge and is, I believe, even mentioned in Rotel's literature on them. APC is indeed a VERY reputable company and was a wise choice for Rotel to team with IMO

          Answer solved!

          OK, never mind, I found this by (more) closely reading the literature on the Rotel site.


          "That‘s why Rotel has partnered with APC AV, Engineered Power
          SolutionsTM, to develop two advanced new power line conditioners
          that will protect and enhance your listening and viewing
          enjoyment of your valuable home entertainment systems."

          So why is rotel charging $100 for their product - for the name?

              People will pay extra for something that matches the look of the rest of their Rotel gear. You can always try bartering on the price as well

                  How to ground a Rotel RLC 1040
                  by yanies
                  I was wondering how to ground my Rotel power conditioner so I can eliminate a hum noise that is coming from my I mac computer.

                  I bought a 8 meter cable 1/8" Stereo Mini Plug (3.5 mm) to Dual RCA Termination so I can hear music from my computer to the speakers.

                  I plugged...

                  Review of Rotel RLC-1080 Power Conditioner
                  by Blindamood
                  The "Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity" web site has posted a new review of the Rotel RLC-1080 Power Conditioner. Overall, the review is positive, but they focused mainly on the battery backup capabilities of this unit. That feature is the primary difference between this model and...

                  Rotel RLC-1040 or Amp Placement on Sub
                  by Ted
                  I think I know the answer already, but on a slight hope, I thought I'd ask anyway. ops:

                  I am running out of room on my TV stand and was wondering if there would be any harm in placing either a Rotel RLC-1040 or an Amp (either a RMB-1075 or 1085) on top of my sub. The sub is fairly...

                  Rotel RLC 1040 question
                  by sskim
                  I have Rotel RLC 1040 power conditioner hooked up to a plasma TV and HT sound system. Over the weekend, while TV was on, I accidently overloaded the circuit using some power tools. After I reset the circuit, I noticed the TV was resetting its system which makes me to think that the TV was shut down...

                  Rotel RLC 1080
                  by Ted
                  Could someone tell me the equivalent APC model to the Rotel RLC 1080 and the retail prices of both? Anyone have any feedback on either one, good or bad?

                  Thanks!
