Rb-1582

[HiRez]

I could not find manual of RB-1582 online and have a few questions:
1) Does it have XLR input?
2) Is there something like "Note: Should you move your RB-XXXX amplifier to another country, it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different line voltage..." in the manual, under the AC Power (or similar) heading?
3) Is it electronically exact equivalent of RB-1080, by any chance?
4) Is it available in black?
5) Is it bi-wiring capable?
6) 12V trigger?
7) US msrp and availability?

Thanks in advance.

Here are answers to your questions.

1) No, single ended only.
2) Yes you can get the amps input voltage changed should you move.
3) No it's not the same as the RB-1080. The RB-1582, RB-1552, and RA-1520 have all been newly designed from the ground up. I don't know component by component what has been changed but all of the info we've received from our rep, and Rotel, has stated they are all new.
4) Yes.
5) Yes, it has two sets of binding posts per channel.
6) Yes, in and out.
7) The retail is $1499.99US and is shipping at the end of May to beginning of June.

Thank you Eric & B&W_Group_Fan :T

By the way, the manual states the damping factor of 800 whereas the website says 1000 for the RB-1582 (both figures are for 8 Ohms).

Which one to believe ?

Assume it's 900 and don't worry about it.. Both are high enough not to matter.
