Mike opened his first shop in Yeovil over 24 years ago, stocking and demonstrating a range of quality hi-fi products not before available outside of the larger towns.

Mike's enthusiasm for music, especially live concerts, led him along the road in search of a realistic and enjoyable sound system for the home. On his quest Mike admits that he made many mistakes, often being seduced by 'flavour of the month' magazine reviews and cosmetic appeal. The pressure of the commission based salesman also took it's toll.

In an endeavour to fulfil his desire, Mike decided to make a career change, leaving the security of a family based business, to work in a reputable hi-fi shop for over twelve years before branching out on his own.

The staff at both of the Mike Manning Audio stores are all music and home cinema enthusiasts, NOT commission based salesmen. Between them they have amassed over 50 years experience of demonstrating, selling and installing 'quality' audio and video equipment. Their customer's have learned to trust their judgement and expertise.

Over the last few years Mike Manning have also become much more involved with 'custom install' of 'multi-room' systems both in domestic as well as commercial environments.

Demonstrations, of both Hi-fi and Home Cinema, are carried out in a relaxed and un-pressured manner, making it a more pleasurable experience choosing your heart's (and Ears) desire.

Mike Manning Audio is an independant company NOT a franchise!
The product range that we demonstrate and sell is carefully chosen
by us for it's performance. not review or commercially led.


Remember... Experience Counts

ROTEL HI-FI

rotle

Rotel has always been one of our favourite Hi-Fi and Av product ranges for many years. Not a company to change their models just for the sake of it, Rotel continue to produce simple, no gimmick superb sounding and hugely reliable equipment.

Still a family owned business in Japan, Rotel's aim is, as always has been, performance at affordable prices.
They do not dissapoint!


All Rotel products are Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish.

rotle RA-04SE

RA04
Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish

Guide Price £299

Every amplifier range has to start somewhere. For an entry into the world of high-fidelity sound there is no better stepping off point than the RA-04 SE amplifier. It takes much of the original design and high-quality sound of the RA-04. But knowledge and experience gained developing the 06 Series to SE specification have led to significant changes to the components used, and the sound produced. Real hifi starts here!

 

rotle RA-05SE

ra05
Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish

Guide Price £479.00

Small changes can make a big difference; and when those changes are to audio-critical components, that difference can be vast. So it is with the Rotel RA-05, where time spent tuning, upgrading and switching components has resulted in the RA-05 SE, a product that shares the original’s slim-line good looks and build quality, but takes its audio performance to the next level. Plus handily the RA-05 SE offers remote control too.

 

rotle RA-1520

ra1520
Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish

Guide Price £695

The RA-1520 is a music lover’s amplifier and is most at home as part of a stand-alone stereo system. Its muscular 2 x 60 watt (into 8 ohms) design is based upon nearly 50 years of Rotel's expertise in analog audio engineering and it delivers levels of musicality that rival offerings from China CANNOT match. A remarkable entry into audiophile amplification.

 

rotle RCD-06

rcd-06
Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish

Guide Price £479.00

Externally there’s little difference between the RCD-06 SE and the CD player it replaces. The same sleek styling; the build quality that is remarkable at the price. However, internally, the RCD-06 SE has undergone major changes. Many of these are a direct result of developments made during the creation of the flagship 15 Series of Rotel hi-fi products, and this includes the replacement of the original Burr Brown DAC with a new model from Wolfson. Such care in component selection is RARE at this price!!

rotle RCD-1520

rcd1520
Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish

Guide Price £695

As the RCD-06 SE took a performance up a notch over it's predecessor, so the RCD-1520 improves in EVERY area over the outgoing RCD-1072. An upgraded transport mech, discrete component changes, and a move to a renowned Wolfson High Performance DAC, have all resulted in making the RCD-1520 a reference CD at this price.
Reviewed in a mediocre fashion by our favourite 'comic', we 'strongly' urge that you audition this cd player if it falls withing your price range.

rotle RT-09

rt09
Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish

Guide Price £645

The RT-09 is very more than just an Internet tuner. Along with FM and DAB it is a digital gateway to all that streaming media has to offer. In addition a front panel USB input is provided for direct digital connection of an iPod or other USB class 2 devices. All digital sources bypass their typically inexpensive analog output stages in favor of the RT-09’s highly regarded Wolfson 24 bit/192kHz DAC and highend analog stage. Together, these features ensure that the listening options are virtually limitless and any music source is reproduced to the highest quality possible at this level.

At present there are over 15,000 Internet radio stations available and in order to keep favourite stations handy, the RT-09 includes 30 programmable presets for instantaneous access to FM, DAB and Internet broadcasts. The RT-09 also streams music files from a PC using Windows Media Player 11 or 12 over a Wi-Fi or wired LAN Ethernet connection, and can be controlled via bi-directional RS-232, as well as discrete IR. What is just as remarkable as the flexibility, performance and technology of the RT-09 is its affordability for such a sophisticated component. The RT-09 continues the Rotel tradition of offering value for money that is second to none.

rotle RDG-1520

rcd1520

Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish

Guide Price £795

RDG stands for Rotel Digital Gateway. The RDG-1520 certainly opens the gate wide for all that streaming media can offer, plus it includes an FM radio and offers a USB input for direct digital connection of an iPod or other USB class 2 devices, bypassing the inexpensive analog output stage in favor of our Wolfson 24 bit/192kHz DAC and high-end analog stage. The receiver’s tuner section includes terrestrial FM and Internet radio, plus premium music sources* like Pandora and SirriusXM, so your listening options are virtually limitless! There are presently over 15,000 Internet radio stations listed. In order to help keep favorite stations handy, the RCX-1500 includes 30 possible presets for instantaneous access to both FM and Internet broadcasts. The RDG-1520 streams music files from a PC using Windows Media Player 11 or 12 over a WiFi or wired LAN Ethernet connection. Supported codecs include RealAudio®, WMA, MP3, AAC & AAC+ (non DRM), AU, WAV and AIFF.

rotle RCX-1500

rcx
Available in Anodised Black or Brushed Aluminium finish

Guide Price £1195

The RCX-1500 CD player is the most versatile component Rotel have ever offered. Although it is an “all in one” model, compromise is not part of the design. The amplifier uses innovative Class D design that is highly efficient, runs cooler than older A/B designs and provides plenty of voltage and current to easily drive lower impedance speakers down to 4 ohms. With 100 watts per channel available, you can feel free to hook up large floor-standing loudspeakers to the RCX-1500.
The RCX-1500 is also a very high quality CD player, based on the outstanding RCD-1520. A front panel USB input for direct digital connection of an iPod or other USB class 2 devices is provided, too. The receiver’s tuner section includes both terrestrial FM and Internet radio, so your listening options are virtually limitless! The RCX-1500 supports both wired and WiFi Ethernet connections.
The RCX-1500, like the RDG-1520, supports UPnP technology and has been optimized for use with Windows Media Player 11 and 12. UPnP devices are “plug-and-play” in that when connected to a network they automatically announce their network address and supported device and services types, enabling clients that recognize those types to immediately begin using the device. Supported codecs include RealAudio®, WMA, MP3, AAC & AAC+ (non DRM), AU, WAV and AIFF.
