Rotel 600A

Not much information survives on the Rotel 600A. What exists is a single period review from early 1974, where the model appears as the RX-600A. It was a stereo FM/AM receiver in a wood case, with a "speaker matrix" circuit meant to simulate four-channel sound from stereo material. High Fidelity (February 1974, p.51) listed it at $349.95 and recorded a two-year warranty.

The same review is the source for the rest of what's known about the layout. The input selector covered phono 1, phono 2, AM, FM, aux 1, and aux 2. The rear had pin-jack input pairs. Phono 1 was for magnetic cartridges only. Phono 2 had separate jacks for magnetic or ceramic. Then came aux 1 and aux 2. Dimensions were 16¾ by 5¾ by approximately 13 inches. No output ratings, tuner specifications, or production dates for the 600A have turned up in the available records.
