RC-1 - Comfortable and easy control of your hi-fi system

We knew that adding new values to a remote control would never be an easy task, but we were determined to increase the pleasure of operating audio equipment at a distance. The Gato Audio RC-1 remote control was therefore engineered from the beginning with three main objectives in sight: Comfortable handling during daily use, exclusive design and peerless quality, and finally versatile usage with all Gato Audio products as well as many other high-end brands.

Not content with simply making yet another heavy and chunky high-end remote as a quality statement, we began completely from scratch by sketching a design that actually rests perfectly and nicely in your hand when you use it. We believe the right size, shape and weight together with an easy-to-use layout wrapped in a beautiful design is the only way to come up with a remote you can confidently leave lying on the sofa table with a sense of pride and joy. The RC-1 combines all these qualities and values. This is high-end industrial design combining form with function in a perfect blend.

Every detail from the powerful dual IR transmitter over the incomprehensibly low standby power consumption and the electrical circuitry to the layout of the pushbuttons and rotating volume knob has been carefully engineered to give you absolutely trouble-free and long-term peace of mind while being easy to use on a daily basis. Spend five minutes getting to know the layout and it will become second nature, assisting you without your eyes constantly needing to try to find the function you want to use.

The use of standard Philips RC5 remote codes enables the RC-1 to operate many other manufacturers’ audio products as well. The RC5 standard is commonly used, but most other brands supply their products with cheap and decidedly sub-standard quality remotes. Although we at Gato Audio due to our obsession with quality of experience naturally supply this unit as a complementary standard together with our AMP-150 and CDD-1, we also sell it separately.

The RC-1 runs on two standard AAA batteries and its standby power consumption is so low that it will operate perfectly even if it has not been used for a whole year.
