Professional Design for Seamless Integration
With a custom 2U rack-mount height requiring no top or bottom clearance, the C8+ is built for efficient installation. Its sleek black finish and front panel display offer a refined look, while onboard controls allow easy source selection and audio adjustments per zone.
Expanded Input Flexibility
The C8+ features 4 analogue and 4 digital inputs, matrixed to all zones for maximum routing flexibility. Independent volume, bass, and treble controls per zone ensure tailored sound across multiple rooms, making it ideal for both residential and commercial audio systems.
Advanced Control and Connectivity
Designed for integration into modern AV systems, the C8+ supports IP and RS232 control interfaces, along with a 12-volt trigger for synchronised operation. Buffered link outputs allow for easy expansion with additional amplifiers, supporting scalable multi-zone installations.
Rotel Engineering for Unmatched Performance
Powered by an oversized toroidal transformer manufactured in-house, the C8+ drives thirty-two output devices to deliver deep, controlled bass and dynamic sound. Rotel’s proprietary amplification technology ensures consistent, efficient performance across all zones.
