RockvilleRPM870 6000w Powered Mixer 8 Channel, USB, 24-Bit Effects, Bluetooth, for Live Bands and DJs

THIS IS LONG AND PROBABLY BORING AND MUNDANE.....BUT IF YOU DON'T READ THIS THEN STOP SHOPPING FOR AMPLIFIERS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT PROPERLY INFORMED AND THEREFORE WILL BE A LOSER LIKE ME......TILL NOW! Ok! If you read any reviews before this one, i am reiterating exactly what everyone else says. Be sure you really want this before buying. Dealing with rockville is worse than a kick in the pagonias!!!! I have had the rpm870 for almost a month now and use it specifically to allow my neighbors to enjoy it as well and it works well for that. Use low ohm speakers if you want to use more than 4, i have 12 passive and 3 powered monitors as well as powered sub.. 2 polk towers 2 midsize polks and 1 polk double center channel. 3 passive klipsch midsize and a double center channel klipsch. I powered klpisch bookshelf and 1 cerwin vega double center channel...all centers are 5.5s with their own form of tweeters.. Klipsch will win that freq. Spectrum. Oh! 1, 12" very powered sub. With built in adj crossover to 350hz?. And phaze control. Almost forgot. 2 passive bookshelf polks too! So only being able to use 4 of my however many spkrs i have because the amp is set up as 4ohm system, any more than 4 8ohm spkrs you will overheat the "6000w" ? Amp and then the airplane propeller has to run to keep it kool...they say?!?!? It has been sitting with power on and not one hook up of anykind, other than power coord, and the fan never shuts off, hot with load or not....it will be loudest sound in whatever room you have it in unless you have it cranked up. Just so we are all on same page here i feel compelled to write my second review in 2 yrs of 50 orders every 2 months with Amazon. I am re retired special ops. Officer Lcdr U.S.N. after stealing a E.E fom S.I.U. CARBONDALE IL. " LOL" i served 10 years in the Navy specializing in hunting submarines and other targets..Using"passive&active" acoustics. I used sound "energy" to locate track and checkmate human targets as a scout sniper in the late 80s mostly in Panama jungle then to the first gulf war where we used the energy of sound waves to locate, track and with the advancements of our avionics, we were able to pinpoint on any moving target, man sized on up to the largest of any country's piece of military hardware....by using a pencil beam on a object with doplar the computer could create a synthetic aperture of the target and basically give us a silhouette on our display instead of Just a blip with directionality like a radar screen. Since then have been an audiologist for better than 23 years dealing specifically with the most advanced hearing aids in the world...all automatic and adaptive, bluetooth and streaming data...etc. Suffice it to say the propagation of energy waknowledgeablei dont know in my alwwpAll that being a u have veen using marantz and denon as my amp source and i love music...to the point of obsession probably lol. have had mine less than a month and am having several issues with and am returning it and have already replaced it a pyle 12 channel 6000w ofwhich i like alot...i will say this..the roxkville is hands down better sound than the marantz and denon and barely beats out the new amp. Anyway i have decided to keep the rockville....replaced with a new one of course because at the end of the day....rockville has them all beat and i have bought and returned 7 amps from all the big companies till i landed on rockville....yes they may suck at customer service and be the worst at anything that has to do with anything other than just keeping their product....i had all speakers goin with all amplifiers at full throttle and was the best, cleanest and noise free music i have ever enjoyed, with my neighbors...lol...now i have 20 channels and 12000 watts bwtween the two and i let all flags fly all the time qnd my 20 year polks and new klipsch produce something i have never experienced before, and in my world that is the sound world i though i had experienced all that most anyone could...considering. So buy it don't buy it. couple hundred bucks is healthy enough to be concerned about getting bang for your buck....the only way to do that is to buy it....i live in AZ. and i put on YouTube ocean sounds and it makes the whole block sound like we live on the beach......best $250 ish i have ever had the displeasure to spend having to deal with rockville to getIt quickly deduct from that value if you have to spend much time dealing withthem...i have had amazon file 3 claims against them and audiosavings just to get them to honor their own ad...buy they did and got lucky....maybe you will too! Nowhere can you find this quality of engineering equations for the little money they try to steal from you.....BUT THEIR EQUATIONS WORK AS LONG AS THE HARDWARE DOES.....YOU WIN.

Really nice board for the money. It does more then I will ever do but it’s nice to know I can

Impressed with build quality. Sound is clean and free from extraneous noise. More clean power than I was expecting. So far a freat value.

The media could not be loaded. Hi, I got this mixer like 3 week ago, and it has been working absolutely fenomenal! 🙌…Don’t get me wrong here, both of the 7 eq dynamic equalizer, they help out a lot! With different types of reverbs and delays 🎶💤Everything of it is absolutely amazing 🤩🤔… Just when using the aux option on channels 7/8, when trying to connect a aux cable with 2 way outputs into the mixer and plugging it into a phone or a Computer… no sound of it comes of!!?But like I said! The bluthtooth of the mixer is worth the value! And extremely easy to set up!Love it 🤣💗🙏

Great quality product.

I've only used this for a few shows I run, but it is a great mixer. It's bigger than you think it is, but easy to carry. The feature I like most is the monitor control and FX on each channel is adjustable.

Very cool so far. I’m impressed and works very well. Bluetooth and the option…

I am a drummer who has been doing it since '89. I've been in bands, I've performed live, I've toured. I'm not famous nor am I spectacularly talented, but I've been around long enough, and done enough, to know a few things. When I wanted to set up a casual jam space in my basement I bought this mixer.Volume control: 3 stars because this part works as advertisedSound quality: 1 star because there's nothing here that doesn't exist literally everywhere else. Doesn't stand out at allVersatility: 1 star because it doesn't work as advertised and Rockville doesn't seem to careThere's really not much to say about this product to recommend it, beyond its price point. It does just fine in my basement, powering a pair of 12" Rockville PA speakers. I wouldn't want to run a show with this equipment. I'm a drummer, and unamped I'm louder than this PA. (I play on a Gretsch Catalina Maple drumset.) The sound coming out of the PA is very bright without much in the bottom and hardly any more in the midrange. I had to add a sub to make the output bearable at all - the graphic EQ wasn't much help there.My biggest sticking point is with the bare-bones nature of both the owner's manual and Rockville's customer 'support'. The latter of which is even more bare-bones than the manual they wrote. For instance, when the product description says that the mixer can record straight to USB, with no more information than that, and when the manual for said product says in totality 'insert USB drive and press RECORD button', well, that's all I expect to have to do. I should NOT have had to do all this:1. Try it according to description and manual, doesn't work.2. Research to find out if there are any rules on the USB - size limits, USB 2.0 vs 3.0, etc. There's nothing out there3. Reach out to customer service at Rockville - oops, they don't have any. My complaint went to SALES.4. Sales person informed me that there is indeed a size limit for the USB.5. I asked for Rockville to provide me with a new USB of the correct size, to replace the one which I had bought based on their description and manual.6. They literally replied 'We don't carry those'7. Had to help the little sales person understand that that doesn't matter, the nutshell here is that I spent money according to Rockville's own recommendations on what their equipment needed, which is now wasted as I have no use for a USB flash drive and haven't since like 2005. Asking me to spend that money again was not a solution. How hard is it to mail a gift card? Or make any gesture, really?8. So, sales person reached out to their boss, and after a few days I heard back that oops, haha, our bad we were wrong, there is no size limit on the USB.9. I asked them how do I make this work then?10. No answer back. I waited another week before posting this review to Amazon.I bought this around 18 months ago, but I hadn't posted a review before because there was nothing to brag about, and nothing really bad to say, until now.Needless to say, I'm not buying another Rockville product again. No one who has this little concern for their customers deserves my, or your, business. If you're a serious musician this product, and probably this entire manufacturer, isn't for you.
