Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RC-995 Stereo Control Ampli-
9
fier. When used in a high-quality music audio system, it will pro-
9
vide years of musical enjoyment.

The RC-995 is a full featured, high performance preamplifier. All
10
aspects of the design have been optimized to retain the full dy-
10 namic range and subtle nuances of your music. The RC-995 has a
highly regulated power supply incorporating a Rotel custom-de-
10
signed toroidal power transformer and custom-made slit foil ca-
10
pacitors. This low impedance power supply has ample power
10
reserves, which enables the RC-995 to easily reproduce the most
10
demanding audio signals. This type of design is more expensive to
manufacture, but it is better for the music.
The RC-995 has both XLR (balanced) and RCA cable main output
connections. The printed circuit boards (PCB) are designed with
Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This insures that the precise timing of
the music is maintained and faithfully recreated. The RC-995 cir-
cuitry uses metal film resistors and polystyrene or polypropylene
capacitors in important signal paths. All aspects of this design
have been examined with the final goal being faithful reproduction
of music.
