Streamlined Design for Rack Integration
Built with a custom 2U height, the C8 fits seamlessly into professional AV racks without requiring top or bottom clearance. Its sleek black finish complements modern AV setups, while the front panel display and controls offer intuitive access to source selection and audio adjustments.
Flexible Multi-Zone Audio Distribution
The C8 features four analogue inputs matrixed to all zones, allowing flexible routing of audio across multiple rooms. Independent volume, bass, and treble controls per zone ensure tailored sound in each space, making it perfect for residential or commercial installations.
Advanced Connectivity and Control
Designed for integration, the C8 supports IP and RS232 control interfaces, along with a 12-volt trigger for synchronised system power. A buffered link output enables easy expansion with additional amplifiers, supporting larger multi-zone audio systems.
Rotel Engineering for Reliable Performance
Powered by an oversized toroidal transformer built in-house, the C8 drives sixteen output devices to deliver clean, controlled bass and dynamic sound. Rotel’s proprietary amplification technology ensures consistent performance and energy efficiency across all zones.
