Rotel is proud to introduce its S14 Integrated Network Streamer offering discerning listeners a high-performance product to access and enjoy online music with ease. This solution delivers the family-owned audio company’s promise of quality, value, and performance, aiming to bring music to life without compromise.
Leveraging over 60-years of design experience, the S14 delivers high performance music rendered through a 32-bit ESS Sabre digital-to-analog converter, feeding high current output transistors powered by an oversized toroidal transformer, delivering precision and control.
With the S14, users can stream music directly from popular streaming services including Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Podcasts and thousands of Internet Radio stations. AirPlay 2 and Google Cast are also supported as well as Coaxial, Optical, aptX™ HD Bluetooth, Analog RCA and PC-USB source inputs for legacy devices. The all-in-one product streams music directly from popular music services, rendering the audio with precision, delivering 150 Watts of Class AB power at 4 Ohms directly to loudspeakers via 5-way binding posts and a front panel headphone connection. The S14 also comes with a newly engineered aluminum remote control for easy use in a design-forward package.
Convenient and intuitive, the S14 supports both wired and dual-band wireless network connections for ultimate installation flexibility. The front panel display renders full color album artwork and includes title, track, and artist information from the selected audio streaming service.
The S14 will be available in the United States in black and silver finishes through Authorized Rotel Dealers with shipments beginning in December of 2022 and the rest of the world shortly thereafter.
