A11MKII Stereo Integrated Amplifier

Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel A11MKII Stereo Integrated Amplifier. When used in a high-quality music audio system, it will provide years of musical enjoyment.
The amplifier is a full featured, high performance component. All aspects of the design have been optimized to retain the full dynamic range and subtle nuances of your music. The unit has a highly regulated power supply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed toroidal power transformer. This low impedance power supply has ample power reserves, which enables the unit to easily reproduce the most demanding audio signals. This type of design is more expensive to manufacture, but it is better for the music.
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 circuitry uses metal film resistors and polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in important signal paths. All aspects of this design have been examined to ensure the most faithful music reproduction.
The main functions of the A11MKII are easy to install and use. If you have experience with other stereo systems, you shouldn't find anything perplexing. Simply plug in the associated components and enjoy.
A Few Precautions
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL the components in the system when connecting or disconnecting the loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the system components back on until you are sure all the connections are correct and secure. Pay particular attention to the speaker wires. There must be no loose strands that could contact the other speaker wires, or the chassis of the amplifier.
Please read this manual carefully. It provides information on how to incorporate the unit into your system as well as information that will help you get optimum sound performance. Please contact your authorized Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your questions and comments.
Save the unit shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the unit in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage to your amplifier.
If included in the box please complete the owner's registration card or register online. Also be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is ever required.
Placement
Like all audio components that handle low level signals, the amplifier can be affected by its environment. Avoid placing the unit on top of other components. Also avoid routing audio signal cables near power cords. This will minimize the chance it will pick up hum or interference.

The unit generates heat as part of its normal operation. The heat sinks and ventilation openings in the amplifier are designed to dissipate this heat. The ventilation slots in the top cover must be open. There should be 10 cm (4 inches) of clearance around the chassis, and reasonable airflow through the installation location, to prevent the amplifier from overheating.
Remember the weight of the amplifier when you select an installation location. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support it. We recommend installing the unit in furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components.
The A11MKII is supplied with an RR-AX1402 remote control and must be placed where the infrared signal from the remote can reach the front panel Remote Sensor.
Cables
Be sure to keep the power cords, digital signal cables and regular audio signal cables in your installation away from each other. This will minimize the chance of the regular audio signal cables picking up noise or interference from the power cords or digital cables. Using only high quality, shielded cables will also help to prevent noise or interference from degrading the sound quality of your system. If you have any questions see your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system.
The RRAX1402 Remote Control
Some functions can be done with either the front panel controls, or the supplied RR-AX1402 remote control. When these operations are described, the square call out numbers refer to the main unit, while the encircled letters refer to the remote control.
Remote Control Batteries
Two AAA size batteries (supplied) must be installed before the remote control can be used. To install the batteries, remove the cover on the back of the RR-AX1402. Install the batteries as shown in the illustration in the battery well. Test the control for proper operation, then replace the cover. When the batteries become weak the remote control won't operate the A11MKII consistently. Installing fresh batteries should eliminate the problem.
Buttons
The remote control can be used to operate the basic functions of Rotel
tuners and CD players. Remote control buttons labeled CEFGHI can
be used to operate CD or Tuner functions in your system. To activate CD and Tuner controls simply press the CD or TUNER source buttons on the remote control. Pressing any other source button on the remote control deactivates these functions.

AC Power and Control
AC Power Input u
Your unit is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 120 volts AC or 230 volts AC with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back panel.
NOTE: Should you move your amplifier to another country, it is possible to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the unit exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information.
NOTE: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country and as such are supplied with more than one AC cord. Please only use the one appropriate for your country/region.
The unit does not draw high levels of current from the power outlet. However, it should be plugged directly into a polarized wall outlet using the supplied cable or other compatible cable as recommended by your authorized Rotel dealer. Do not use an extension cord. A heavy duty multi-tap power outlet strip may be used if it (and the wall outlet ) can handle the current demanded by the unit and all the other components connected to it.
If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time such as a month-long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your amplifier (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away.
Power Switch 1A and Power Indicator 2
Press the front panel Power Switch button, to turn the unit on. The Power Indicator light is illuminated when the unit is on. Press Power Switch button again to turn the unit off.
When the power switch is in the ON position, the remote control ON and
OFF buttons A may be used to activate the A11MKII. In Standby mode
the Indicator light is red.
See the "12V Trigger Outlet" section for more information on ways you may be able to turn on and off other components in your system along with the unit.
12V Trigger Out q
Some audio components can be turned on automatically when they receive a 12V turn on "signal". The two 12V Trigger Outputs of the amplifier provide the required signal. Connect compatible components to the amplifier with a conventional 3.5mm mini plug cable. When the unit is turned off, the trigger signal is interrupted, and the components controlled by it are turned off.

Input Signal Connections
See Figure 2
NOTE: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will appreciate, make sure the system is turned off when you make any signal connections.
Phono Input e and Ground Connection w
Plug the cable from the turntable into the appropriate left and right phono inputs. If the turntable has a "ground" wire, connect it to the screw terminal to the left of the Phono inputs. It will help prevent hum and noise.
Line Level Inputs r
The CD, Tuner, and Aux inputs of the amplifier are "line level" inputs. These are for connecting components such as CD players or other audio playback devices with an analog audio output.
The Left and Right channels are labeled and should be connected to the corresponding channels of the source component. The Left connectors are white, the Right connectors are red. Use high quality RCA cables for connecting input source components to the unit. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about cables.
Digital Signal Inputs t
There is one set of digital inputs for COAXIAL and OPTICAL respectively. Connect the COAXIAL or OPTICAL outputs of your source component into these sockets. The digital signals will be decoded and played by the amplifier. The unit is capable of decoding PCM signals up to 24 bit, 192kHz.
Speaker Outputs y
See Figure 3
Speaker Wire Selection
Use insulated two-conductor stranded wire to connect the unit to the speakers. The size and quality of the wire can have an audible effect on the performance of the system. Standard speaker wire will work, but can result in lower output or diminished bass response, particularly over longer distances. In general, heavier wire will improve the sound. For best performance, you may want to consider special high-quality speaker cables. Your authorized Rotel dealer can help in the selection of cables for your system.
Polarity and Phasing
The polarity ­ the positive/negative orientation of the connections ­ for every speaker and amplifier connection must be consistent so all the speakers will be in phase. If the polarity of one connection is reversed, bass output will be very weak and stereo imaging degraded. All wire is marked so you can identify the two conductors. There may be ribs or a stripe on the insulation of one conductor. The wire may have clear insulation with different color conductors (copper and silver). There may be polarity indications printed on the insulation. Identify the positive and negative conductors and be consistent with every speaker and amplifier connection.

A11MKII Stereo Integrated Amplifier

Speaker Connection
NOTE: The following text describes both binding post and plug-in connections. DO NOT use both connection methods in combination to connect multiple speakers.

Power Control -
Power Control could make the A11MKII go to standby mode or automatically turn off when there is no signal or operation to the A11MKII.

Turn off all the components in the system before connecting the speakers. The unit has color-coded binding post type speaker connectors on the back panel (except in European Community countries where their use is not permitted). These connectors accept bare wire, connector lugs, or dual banana type connectors.

When the slider is set to the SIGNAL SENSE position, the A11MKII will check if a digital signal is present on the currently selected Signal Sense input. If there is no digital audio detected for 10 minutes, the unit will enter Signal Sense Power Mode. When in Signal Sense Power Mode and the unit detects digital audio, the unit will automatically power on.

Route the wire from the unit to the speakers. Give yourself enough slack so you can move the components to allow access to the speaker connectors. If you are using dual banana plugs, connect them to the wires and then plug into the backs of the binding posts. The thumbscrews of the binding posts should be screwed in all the way (clockwise).
If you are using terminal lugs, connect them to the wires. If you are attaching bare wires directly to the binding posts, separate the wire conductors and strip the insulation from the end of each conductor. Be careful not to cut into the wire strands. Unscrew (turn counterclockwise) the binding post thumbscrews. Place the connector lug or wire around the binding post shaft. Turn the thumbscrews clockwise to clamp the connector lug or wire firmly in place.
NOTE: Be sure there are no loose wire strands that could touch adjacent wires or connectors.
IR Remote Sensor 4
This remote sensor window receives IR commands from the remote control. Please do not block this sensor.
Headphone Output 3
The headphone output allows you to connect headphones for private listening. This output accepts a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") mini stereo headphone connector. Plugging in a set of headphones does not cut off the signal to the outputs.
NOTE: Because the sensitivity of speakers and headphones can vary widely, always reduce the volume level before connecting or disconnecting headphones.
aptXTM HD Bluetooth Connection 0
The Bluetooth Antenna 0 on the back panel is for wireless streaming via
Bluetooth, from your device (i.e. mobile phones, tablets or computers). From your device, look for "Rotel Bluetooth" and connect to it. Connection is normally automatic, but if prompted for a password, please enter "0000" on your device. The amplifier supports both traditional Bluetooth, AAC and aptXTM HD Bluetooth audio streaming.

When the slider on the APD (AUTO POWER DOWN) position, the A11MKII will automatically power off to standby mode if there is no audio signal for 20 minnutes. The auto power off timer will be restarted if changes are made to the volume, source or playback.
To disable above functions, push the slider to the NONE position.
NOTE: When the A11MKII enters standby mode via the remote control, the Signal Sense function will not operate until the unit detects the audio has stopped for the minimum 10 minute time-out period. This prevents the unit from immediately powering back on if there is still active audio playing.
NOTE: When the SIGNAL SENSE function is activated the A11MKII will consume additional power in Signal Sense Power mode.
SERVICE Connector =
The SERVICE connector is for use by Authorized Service Centers only.
Audio Controls
Volume Control 8C
Turn the controls clockwise to increase the volume, or counter clockwise to decrease the volume. From the remote control press the volume +
or - button C to turn the volume up or down. Press the button D to
completely mute the volume.
Balance Control 5
The Balance Control adjusts the left-to-right balance of the sound output. Normally the control should be left in the center position. In some situations, typically when the main listening position is not ideally centered between the speakers, it may be necessary to adjust the control to achieve proper left-to-right balance. Turning the Balance rotary knob
5 counter-clockwise shifts the sound balance to the left. Turning the Balance rotary knob 5 clockwise shifts the sound balance to the right.
Bass and Treble Controls 67 Turn the Bass / Treble rotary knobs 67 clockwise to increase the bass or treble output. Turn the Bass / Treble rotary knobs 67 counterclockwise
to decrease the bass or treble output.
A properly setup high-performance audio system produces the most natural sound with little or no adjustment of the tone controls. Use these controls sparingly. Be particularly careful when turning the controls up (clockwise). This increases the power output in the bass or treble range, increasing the load on the amplifier and speakers.

English

11

NOTE: The Bass and Treble controls circuits are bypassed to ensure the purest possible sound, which is defaulted. Turn the Bass / Treble rotary knob if you want to adjust the Controls.
Source Input Selector 9G Press the corresponding input button on the front panel 9 or remote control G to select the desired listening source.
LED Dimmer Control B
To change the brightness of the Power indicator above the Power button, the LEDs above the Source selectors and the Volume rotary knob LED on
the front panel, press the DIM B button on the remote control.
Protection Circuit
The unit has both thermal and over-current protection circuitry that protects the amplifier against damage in the event of extreme or faulty operating conditions. The protection circuits are independent of the audio signal and have no impact on sonic performance. Instead, the protection circuits monitor the temperature of the output devices and shut down the amplifier if temperatures exceed safe limits.
Most likely, you will never see this protection circuitry in action. However, should a faulty condition arise, the amplifier will stop playing and the
POWER indicator 2 on the front panel will turn red.
If this happens, turn the amplifier off. Let it cool down for several minutes, and attempt to identify and correct the problem that caused the protection circuitry to engage. When you turn the amplifier back on, the protection
circuit will automatically reset and the POWER indicator 2 should be
blue, indicating that the amplifier is operating normally.
In most cases, the protection circuitry activates because of a fault condition such as shorted speaker wires, or inadequate ventilation leading to an overheating condition. In very rare cases, highly reactive or extremely low impedance speaker loads could cause the protection circuit to engage.
If the protection circuitry triggers repeatedly and you are unable to isolate and correct the faulty condition, contact your authorized Rotel dealer for assistance in troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound from the unit, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Illuminated
The Power Indicator should be illuminated whenever the unit is plugged into the wall power outlet and the Power button is pushed in. If it does not light, test the power outlet with another electrical device, such as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet being used is not controlled by a switch that has been turned off.
Fuse Replacement
If another electrical device works when plugged into the power outlet, but the Power Indicator of the unit does not light when plugged into the same outlet and the Power Switch is pushed in, it indicates that the internal power fuse may have blown. If you believe this has happened, contact your authorized Rotel dealer to get the fuse replaced.
No Sound
Check the signal source to see if it is functioning properly. Make sure the cables from the signal source to the unit inputs are connected properly. Be sure the Listening Selector is set to the proper input. Check the wiring between the unit and the speakers.
Cannot Connect via Bluetooth
If you cannot pair your Bluetooth enabled device to the unit, delete the memory of the previous connection on your device. On your device this is often listed as "Forget this Device". Then try to make the connection again.

Rotel A11 RS232 ASCII Controller Command List

Date December 18, 2018

Version 1.00

Update Description Original Specification

The A11 supports an ASCII based RS232 protocol. The RS232 hardware does not support flow control so care needs to be take when sending and receiving data to avoid packet loss.
All commands sent to the attached Rotel device must have a terminating "!" character.
