Nothing really new. Same products we've known about since CES. There is what might be a Euro only RT-1082 tuner. DAB tuner but no Sirius (since there's no need for it outside NA)

Rotel:
The well-known manufacturer of high-quality electronics devices comes with interesting stereo and Surroundneuheiten on High ending.

The RX-1052 could be for Stereo lovers with Multiroom ambitions the equipment of all dreams: for a purchase price of 1299 euro Rotel offers a solution, how 4 areas can be supplied with high-quality Stereo music. The expenditure to the zones 2-4 via Pre Outs, a advanced (optionally available) remote maintenance system with key PAD and control stroke makes the control effected the children's game. The RX-1052 does not by the way only switch audiolaterally between its 8 entrances, but makes available also in each case the appropriate video in as well as exits. To be found equipment-laterally it completed by an integrated RDS rDS-Tuner, bi-directional RS232 interface, headphone exit as well as an output stage section with up to 2 x 100 Watts at 8 ohms this equipment is immediately in the qualiifizierten trade.


The RDV-1093 is likewise immediately available and costs 1579 Euo. The Player plays DVD audio media beside CDs and DVDs also and is trimmed both in visual and acoustic regard to maximum output. The blocked Videoscaler permits an expenditure of 1080p over the HDMI to exit and exhibits an internal signal processing of 1080p with 10 bits.


The new Rotel RSX-1058 will see the light of the dealer shelves in July and will change then for 1.999 euro the owner. Owing to typically high-quality Rotel building method we expect a very high sound level from him with outstanding level firmness. Rotel indicates the efficiency as 5x75 Watt, but as we already noticed, are the red energy gifts in this connection very honestly and/or conservatively to be settled. The 1058 the 1057 and extends above all the feature pallet replaces by video functions, the models 1067 and 1098 remains in unchanged form on the market, particularly for this in particular the September-guessed/advised "video box" RVE-1069 (more to it in the further process) however for the time being is meant.

The most important features of the RSX-1058 in short form:

- integrated video processor with De-Interlacing and Upscaling function
- output signal over HDMI up to 1080p
- 4 HDMI of entrances/1 HDMI exit
- 3 Component of video entrances

A clear admit-eat to stereo delivers Rotel with the new publications of RC-1082 (preliminary stage, 999€), RB-1072 (Class D output stage, 899€) and the DAB tuner RT-1082 (849€). All components are to captivate by a particularly aufwaendiges layout and prepare highest hearing fun. Can of it interested convince itself, finally is these devices since short time in the specialized trade to be already admired.


One of the interesting new publications from the house Rotel is according to our opinion the RVE-1060. This video Enhancer closes the gap, which many Surround preliminary stages leave and the management and conversion of video signals take over. The price of this component is with 1259 euro, in addition the RVE-1060 can be supplied immediately.

The most important technical characteristics in the short form:

- modern display format transformation algorithms for conversion between 4:3 and 16:9.
