Integrated amplifiers — Rotel A11MKII

The A11MKII is an integrated amplifier with phono stage and built-in DAC from Rotel, sharing the A11 Tribute's general chassis dimensions with a somewhat different power specification. The A11MKII brings Rotel's considered engineering to a complete, feature-rich integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

Four single-ended inputs are provided. Input sensitivity is 130mV for line inputs or 1.6mV for phono, with input impedance at 45,000 ohms for line or 43,000 ohms for phono. Output power is 50W into 8 ohms, rising to 62W into 4 ohms. Signal-to-noise ratio is 95dB for line sources or 85dB for phono. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is under 0.03%. Damping factor is 120. At 430 x 73 x 347mm and 6.8kg, the A11MKII maintains a manageable, feature-complete integrated amplifier chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable, accessible amplification character reflecting Rotel's broader value-focused engineering philosophy, with the built-in DAC and phono stage covering both digital and analogue vinyl sources directly.

Pairing

The built-in DAC and phono stage cover both digital and analogue vinyl sources directly without needing separate outboard devices.

Alternatives

Rotel's own A12MKII offers a considerably more powerful alternative within the same broader accessible catalogue.
