MkII Stereo RetroReceiver

Quick Guide to the Features 

We’ll explain the RR2160

 

MkII’s many features later in 

this manual, but first we wanted to identify some of 

the key features so you can watch for those you’re 

most interested in. 

High Power Stereo Amplifier

2 x 110 watts continuous power, 20 Hz to 20 kHz 

@ 8 ohms, <0.05% THD, both channels driven 

7 Analog Inputs 

Connect all of your analog audio sources with 

ease. Included are a rear panel Phono input 

(moving coil or moving magnet), four rear analog 

inputs, an external processor loop, and a front 

panel 3.5mm auxiliary input for an MP3 player.

1 Front and 2 Rear USB inputs 

Connect a USB-enabled device, a USB storage 

device, or a computer for playback of audio files or 

to use the RR2160

 

MkII and an external sound card.

Separate Signal Paths for Listening and 

Recording 

Listen to one source while recording another.

Preamp Outputs and Main Amplifier Inputs 

These enable easy system configuration with 

additional power amplifiers, electronic crossovers, 

equalizers, etc.

A/B Speaker Selector Switch

Front Panel Adjustable Speaker Equalization 

This selector adds a half-octave of bass boost at 

selected frequencies for better bass response with 

compact bookshelf speakers. 

Front Panel Tone Control Defeat 

High-performance FM/FM Stereo Tuner with 

HD Radio and 20 Presets. 

Audiophile-quality Preamplifier and Power 

Amplifier Stages 

Necessary for critical music listening. 

Headphone jack with level control. 

12 Volt Trigger 

Use this output for control of external system 

components (amplifier, video projector, etc.) so 

they turn on and off in sync with your RR 2160. 

Infrared (IR) Input and Output 

Use these to control your RR 2160 even when it is 

hidden behind closed doors – not that you’d ever 

want to do that! 

Precision Volume Control

Removable IEC-style Power Cord 

Unpacking 

Your RR2160

 

MkII has traveled to you in packaging 

designed to protect it from the hardships of shipping 

that it inevitably must endure. We recommend you 

retain these materials for use if you move or if the 

unit ever needs to be shipped back to the Outlaws for 

any reason. 

You can minimize the size of the carton and 

packaging for storage. Flatten the inner and outer 

cartons by carefully opening the top and bottom flaps 

and folding them flat. Do the same with all cardboard 

inserts. For foam and other packaging that can’t be 

folded, save it in the unit’s protective plastic bag. 

The RR2160

 

MkII is not light, and the heavier internal 

components are not evenly distributed. Lift with your 

legs, not your back! Also be careful about knobs on 

the front panel and connectors on the rear panel. 

Accessories 

Accompanying your RR2160

 

MkII are several 

accessories. Please check to make sure the following 

are included in the box: 

  Remote control 

  2 AAA batteries for the remote control 

  AC power cord 

  FM antenna 

  (2) U-shaped jumpers
