Key Features
The Rotel A11 Integrated Amplifier & CD11 CD Player Hi-fi Bundle offers great longevity and is a brilliant starting block to build up a HiFi system. The Rotel A11 Tribute Edition Integrated Amp offers 2 x 50 watts of Class AB power with plentiful inputs including RCA, Bluetooth and MM phono. Developed in cooperation with audio engineering legend Ken Ishiwata, the A11 features upgraded components and meticulous tuning of circuits for a purer and more natural experience no matter what source you're listening to. A vivid front panel offers visual feedback of the source and tone settings and the provided remote control provides effortless and intuitive operation.
You can even directly connect to a variety of audio devices such as speakers and CD players. The A11 Tribute offers a low THD rating so you can experience distortion-free sounds. Immerse yourself in the audio with the Line level inputs offering a frequency response of 10Hz - 100kHz and the phono input providing a 20Hz - 20kHz range. The Texas Instruments DAC is on hand to generate sharp analogue sounds. Listen to your favourite music on your headphones thanks to the headphone output. The IR remote control also offers complete sound management.
The Rotel CD11 Tribute is a CD player that follows in Rotel's long history of creating quality CD players at affordable prices. Designed to be a higher-performance model of the original CD11 this device has been upgraded and tweaked to boost performance to new highs. The increased sense of space, accuracy and improved detail will be apparent to any listener. The CD11 offers a 20-20,000 Hz frequency response and also houses a Texas Instruments DAC to create dynamic analogue sounds from digital data. The Coaxial output will enable connectivity to your digital devices and create a premium HiFi setup. The IR remote control gifts you with effective control over your CD player.

The A11 is the latest in this illustrious line, and it's an absolute bargain. Built around the classic Rotel Class AB amplifier design, it's rated at 50W per channel, and has a sensible array of inputs for the modern user.
Ken Ishiwata was a true pioneer in his field offering superlative performance upgrades to affordable pieces of HiFi equipment. Improvements to the A11 and CD11 were some of his last pieces of work, later finished by Rotel with approval from the Ishiwata family. Ishiwata meticulously investigated the A11 and upgraded the transformers, capacitors and resistors and also redesigned the signal path for uncompromising natural audio with coherence and complete musicality that is sure to enhance your audio no matter the source.
The Class AB amplifier provides solid audio signals with 2 x 50W of power output. The 8 ohms impedance will also enhance the sound even more. The A11 offers two speaker outputs so you can directly connect to your speakers and enjoy your favourite music. The 12V trigger output will let you use a projector and enjoy an engrossing viewing experience.
The Rotel A11 Tribute amplifier is equipped with multiple RCA inputs so you can directly connect to your CD player, Tuner and mobile devices. The MM phono input enables a seamless turntable connection and lets you listen to all your favourite vinyl records. The line level inputs even have a frequency response of 10Hz - 100kHz and the phono input offers a 20Hz - 20kHz range. The reliable headphone output accepts any 3.5mm mini stereo headphone connectors so you can listen to your music in excellent sound quality on your headphones.
The A11 Tribute amplifier comes with a Bluetooth amplifier so you can enjoy wireless streaming from your smart devices and listen to your music and podcasts from Spotify, TIDAL, Apple Music, and more. This amplifier even supports AAC and APTX audio codecs, enabling stunning sound quality. With a low THD rating, the A11 create distortion-free audio that gets you totally enveloped in the sound.
Find a sound that you've always wanted with four separate Tone Control options. The BYPASS mode switches off the bass and treble controls for a more dynamic audio path, the ENABLED mode offers user-selectable bass and treble settings. The ROTEL BOOST and ROTEL MAX boost modes will take care of optimising configurations to adapt to the A11s surroundings. The Texas Instruments DAC is also on hand to provide solid audio signals.
You can navigate your way through the inputs/outputs and have effective volume control with the IR remote control. The display dimmer lets you alter the brightness on the front panel screen so you can adapt the A11 to suit your home's layout. The compact design allows the A11 amplifier to fit into most HiFi cabinets and provides long durability.
The CD11 is the result of a collaboration between Rotel and audio legend Ken Ishiwata. Ishiwata used to work with Marantz for decades as an engineer. After parting ways with Marantz, Ishiwata worked alongside Rotel to design some HiFi components. The CD11 being one of the last ones before he passed away. This shows a lot of his design philosophies with the component changes as well as the idea that a CD player should just play CDs.
The digital to analogue conversion is done using a Texas Instruments 24-bit 192kHz DAC. This is the same company that produces Burr Brown DACs so you can be assured that this is of exquisite quality. Eight capacitors and one resistor in this DAC have been upgraded to provide the best quality. As have all nine of the capacitors in the PSU for extra performance. Additionally, the electrical ground paths have had their routings altered.
With RCA analogue outputs you can send the signal from this CD player to an amplifier of your choice and distribute the signal throughout your system. A digital coaxial out also enables you to send the audio signal to an external DAC if you have a dedicated unit in your setup. The 12v Trigger and RS232 plugs on the CD11 also enable you to access some remote control functionalities so you can have your whole system's control centralised.
