Much of Rotel's success can be attributed to our fundamental engineering philosophy called Balanced Design Concept, which is a disciplined synthesis of physics, electronics, and mechanical engineering. Balanced Design Concept revolves around three major areas: parts selection, circuit topology, and critical evaluation. These aspects influence final sound quality significantly and illustrate Balanced Design's holistic approach to product development.
Parts Selection
Circuit Topology
Rotel engineers spend many hours listening to and selecting electronic parts from potential suppliers to give our components the best reliability and acoustic advantages. It costs a little more, but we believe the benefits further differentiate Rotel's quality from mainstream audio/video manufacturer.
It's not enough to simply use better parts. Where you put them is equally important. That's why we rely heavily on something we call Symmetrical Signal Trace design. This keeps each channel's signal path identical to the others to preserve imaging and sound staging. We also use "star" grounding techniques wherever possible to improve performance (a method of terminating all ground points in a starshaped pattern on a single plane that reduces ground potential).
Critical Evaluation
We've found that human hearing is more sensitive than even sophisticated nstruments in the hands of experienced ngineers. We set up listening sessions to various development stages, not just he final pre-production prototype, to ensure the performance of a new model s as good as it can possibly be.
15 Series Components

Our 15 Series components represent verything we've learned about audio/video electronic design over the past 45 years. We have applied that education to improving every facet of the 15 Series, and it has paid off handsomely in better performance across the brand.
El concepto de diseño equilibrado es una síntesis disciplinada de física, electrónica e ingeniería mecánica guiada por nuestra firme convicción de que lo mejor no tiene por qué ser lo más costoso.
El diseño equilibrado parte de unos circuitos básicos concebidos por un equipo internacional de ingenieros premiados. Incluye una evaluación exhaustiva de cada componente utilizado en estos circuitos, a fin de determinar no sólo cuál de ellos es adecuado, sino cuál de ellos es el ideal.
El diseño equilibrado también significa que verificamos cada decisión que tomamos utilizando el instrumento de laboratorio más crítico y sensible disponible en el mundo: el oído humano.

Es por ello que nuestro equipo de oyentes críticos formados evalúa cada prototipo y, posteriormente, colabora en el ajuste de precisión de los diseños básicos hasta que satisfacen plenamente los exigentes requisitos de Rotel.
El diseño equilibrado combina ciencia pura y dura con intuición experimentada, a fin de acercarle más a la fuente…cualquier fuente, ya se trate de música o de películas,…y permitirle oír sin renunciar a precisamente aquello que los artistas quieren que oiga.
