Rockville RPM870 8 Channel 6000w Powered Mixer w/USB, Effects, 8 XDR2 Mic Pres

I know more than you about this so just read it and your welcome!!!
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.

Mixer works but something is off?
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 🤣💗🙏

Keep On Rocking!
Purchased December 2017 – It is difficult to write a bad review for something like this at the price point it’s being offered. Rockville is offering a fairly useful piece of equipment for not a lot of money here and for most of us, it is a strong contender and fits what we need to do with it – which is perform live music in small places like VFW halls and local Breweries and Firehouses, etc. To the ones trying to compare this to way more expensive gear, isn’t that kinda like comparing your brand new luxury car to an economy model? Get real! This thing isn’t going to work at all if your playing a gig at the coliseum but if you’re playing the local tavern then yeah, it will definitely fill the room with ample volume. It’s easy to use and ridiculously intuitive with a pretty short learning curve for the basic stuff. Me? I know nothing about running sound but as a musician for 30+ years its easy to hear when something is too loud or not loud enough right? I’m running mine through a pair of Rockville 12″ passive speakers and using a set of 12″ powered stage monitors – my band played a valentines gig for our local moose lodge in their hall that is 50′ by 35′ in size. We were complimented by everyone on our sound.. clean, not too loud (older folks don’t like it too loud) and crisp highs and solid lows (we do not run subwoofers or any of that garbage). As for fan noise – haven’t noticed it all – I mean, you can here it on stage but not through the speakers out to the audience so in that respect it doesn’t matter if you can hear them – it just means they’re working and keeping things cool. Keep rocking!Update: July 2021 – The Rockville 870 I purchased in 2017 has held up very well and I have not had a single problem with it all. This year, me and the fella’s have played out a half dozen times so far and each time, the 870 did what it does and that’s provide great sound. I am sending the signal out to 2 Rockville 15″ passive speakers and for monitoring, I have an old Kustom 4 channel brick pa that I send out to a pair of 12″ rockvilles and a pair of older style Kustom 10″ speakers – this rig works just fine and best of all, everything mentioned was shall we say, “budget friendly” side of things! LOL Keep Rockin’ Good People! Keep Rocking!

this thing rockkkkk
