Rotel A11MKII Integrated Amplifier

The Rotel A11MKII Integrated Amplifier steps up from Rotel's analog-focused models by combining 50 watts per channel of Class AB amplification with a Texas Instruments 32-bit/384 kHz DAC, Moving Magnet phono stage, coaxial and optical digital inputs, and Bluetooth with aptX HD and AAC. It is a versatile foundation for a two-channel system built around vinyl, digital sources, or wireless playback. Rotel

At its core is a Rotel-built toroidal transformer and linear power supply, delivering 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 62 watts per channel into 4 ohms with less than 0.03% THD. Rotel

Rotel Class AB Amplification

The A11MKII uses Rotel's proven Class AB amplifier architecture, powered by a substantial in-house manufactured toroidal transformer. The power supply is designed to provide clean, stable current while keeping electrical noise low.

Output is rated at 50W per channel into 8 ohms and 62W per channel into 4 ohms, with a damping factor of 120. Rotel

Texas Instruments 32-Bit/384 kHz DAC

Unlike the analog-only A10MKII, the A11MKII incorporates a Texas Instruments PCM5102A 32-bit/384 kHz DAC.

Coaxial and optical S/PDIF inputs accept LPCM signals up to 24-bit/192 kHz, allowing televisions, CD transports, streamers, and other digital sources to connect directly to the amplifier. Rotel

Bluetooth aptX HD & AAC

Integrated Bluetooth with aptX HD and AAC provides convenient wireless playback from compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers. Rotel

This gives the A11MKII a useful mix of traditional hi-fi and modern connectivity without requiring a separate Bluetooth receiver or DAC for everyday listening.

Moving Magnet Phono Stage

A dedicated Moving Magnet phono input allows a compatible turntable to connect directly to the amplifier.

The MM stage is specified at 1.6 mV sensitivity, 43kΩ input impedance, 50 mV overload capability, and a frequency response of 20 Hz–20 kHz, -0.5/+0.3 dB. Rotel

Analog Source Connectivity

Three RCA line-level inputs accommodate analog sources such as CD players, streamers, tuners, DACs, and other components. Rotel specifies an exceptionally broad line-level frequency response of 10 Hz–100 kHz, -0.5/+0.05 dB. Rotel

Headphone Amplifier & Traditional Controls

The front panel includes a 1/8-inch headphone output with a dedicated headphone amplifier circuit, along with physical Bass, Treble, Balance, and source controls. Bass and treble adjustment is ±6 dB at 100 Hz and 10 kHz. Rotel

The supplied IR remote operates the A11MKII's motorized analog volume control, retaining a traditional analog volume architecture while adding remote convenience. Rotel

Technical Details

Rotel's current product page distinguishes its FTC figure from the continuous non-FTC specification: 62W/ch FTC into 8 ohms, while the standard continuous ratings are 50W/ch into 8 ohms and 62W/ch into 4 ohms. Rotel
