The C8 Custom Installation Amplifier delivers 70 watts of power per channel into 4-ohm loads, and the C8+ Custom Installation Amplifier delivers 150 watts of power per channel into 4-ohm loads, with all channels driven. Zone outputs are bridgeable to deliver even higher output power per channel and the auto-sensing, auto-switching PA Override feature ensures ultimate installation flexibility. Both units feature (4) analog source inputs available to all zone outputs through internal matrix switching, further customizable with independent volume, balance, bass, and treble settings. The C8+ also includes two optical and two coaxial digital inputs supporting 24-bit/192kHz audio matrixed to the outputs.
The front panel of each amplifier features a graphic display with controls to ensure user-friendly setup and operation including selection of the active matrixed input source and volume control of each zone in real time. The custom engineered 2U height chassis does not require top or bottom clearance spacing for ultra-efficient rack mounting with the included rack ears. Speaker outputs utilize detachable Phoenix connectors for pre-wire installation with worry-free secure screw-locking mechanisms. Ethernet, RS232 and 12V trigger connections provide easy integration with popular control systems, emphasizing the customization available to incorporate these units into virtually any system.
The C8 ($2,599 USD MSRP) and C8+ ($3,199 USD MSRP) will be available in the United States in black finish through Authorized Rotel dealers with shipments beginning in May of 2022 and the rest of the world shortly thereafter.
