EP 32 - Rockville DJ System Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- In today's video, I review the Rockville DJ system. The principle components include two Rockville RPG-15 internally amplified PA speakers and the Rockville RBG-15S subwoofer.
Each RPG-15 speaker has a 15” woofer and a 3” tweeter. Each speaker’s internal amplifier is a 1000W peak, 250W RMS amp. The RBG-15S subwoofer has a 1600W peak, 400W RMS amplifier in it with DSP bass boost and adjustable crossover settings.
These are awesome speakers and are very high performance for the price. The RPG-15 speakers can be purchased for around $174 each and the RBG-15S subwoofer can be purchased for about $300 (at the time of this video’s release).
If anyone in the Phoenix metro area is interested in my DJ services, contact me at DielectricVideos@gmail.com.
The test song is called “Energy” by Elektronomia, and can be found on NCS here:

Thanks for watching! :) - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Very professional video! Rockville Audio should hire you to represent them! Thanks for the advice!
I don’t know how old this kid is but he appears to know his stuff, he also acts & speaks beyond his years.
I definitely agree with you
Love this honest review. I hate people who bash rockville.
Finally! A coherent professional review of this speaker system. Is sad how older guys seem to be more concerned of looks and frivolous matters than the real thing.
Thank you very much
I agree 110%! Great knowledgeable review!
You sir are brilliant. very well spoken and obviously very smart. that custom power strip look interesting. nice video
Dave Melvin Thank you! 😄
Awesome video!
cant find a decent setup on ebay for my bar...looking for 2 wireless mics and 15" speakers that can be controlled by laptop phone etc...I found packages with 2 mics 1 speaker and another one with 2 mics 2 12"speaker...can you recommend a good bar system...email me at lifebeginsat190@hotmail.com
I agree awesome review received mine recently.. 2 15powered and one 18powered I seem to be peakiing on my 18s clip lights go on frustrated
i would check your mp3s for clipping with audacity. if they have clipping use ashampoo music studio to drop 1db then normalize at cd quality 320 bit rate
Your audio is shit
That was a great presentation! Very articulate and easy to understand.
Energized tool box, I absolutely love the idea
I use rockville gear never had an issue!!!
I never comment but I can’t pass without saying this this video was awesome.
Very nice review! Reluctant to pull the trigger on Rockville due to the low price preceived low value, but man you pretty much sold me. Keep up the great work man.
A fine and intelligent young man, I want the future to be men and women like him.
Mr. had you been on Gilligan's island they would have gotten off in a day😊
LMFAO
good informative video,thanks for video,im thinking of buying this sure helps.
I swear I thought that toolbox was going to explode! lol, cool review though.
I’m really considering these I can’t afford jbl or some of the other brands but for small venues and family gatherings I think these are great
I'm making the jump from passive to powered, I'm glad I caught your vid... I will be getting Rockville! Hell, I have Rockville Facade and Rockville lights... so why not! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Good video good job big boss ..clean & natural 🕺💪👏👏👏
Dam young fellow back in the day when i ran about 10 djs at a time wish i had djs like you good vid
sold!!!! ROCKVILLE need to give you everything FREE
Nice Video and I love the photometer. Very impressive that you built that yourself. Your toolbox with the outlets in it is just genius! Keep creating bro! You hit the nail on the head. We strive to offer high quality products at very affordable prices. keep up the great work!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I cannot express how much I admire you and respect your brilliance. I am actually in the market for a pair of speakers and a sub woofer. I will be doing some research on Rockville. I have seen the brand but almost always go past to look at the well known brands. Thank you for the video and energy you bring with your demonstration and knowledge.
Thanks for the video. I just ordered 4, Rockville RPG10's to use as monitors with my 5 piece band. I was ready to pick up 4, Alto TS210s when I stumbled on the RPG10s. $1k vs. $480 all in cost between the two, so I went with the Rockville. I may upgrade one day, but at that price point, why not give them a try? There's just not a lot of "live" sound demos on the Rockville speakers, so thanks again for your demo, information, and review.
This kid is going places. Easily the best review of this equipment I've found on TH-cam.
This is a "GREAT" video! Well done speaking!!
Good production bro
Wow that's awesome sounds really clear, I feel comfortable with buying some rockville speakers now.
Do your RPG15 have any audible hiss with no source connected? I'm thinking about tinkering with a pair in my home theater, but audible hiss at low volume levels would drive me nuts.
I do get some hiss, although it is still almost imperceptible unless you are very close to the tweeters. If you are sensitive to this, I think you would have better success with a different solution for your home theater.
Everything you show in your video it take me 4 months to. Figure out to how to tweak my subwolfer an main speaker that lets me know I am on the track thank so much👍✌😅
Thanks for the great video. I just purchased a pair of the RPG15 speakers. I have to pick up the RBG15 Sub next. I will have the same system as you then. Your vid was a great influence on me making my decision to go with the @RockvilleAudio product. I hope to get the Sub soon. Take it easy.
How'd it work out for you?
Do you dtill like that sub? I have Peavey tops and was running an Eclipse 15 subwoofer that I got for $25, Ebay had it at $900 and I finally blew it with my QSC amps. I wanted to get 2 subs and they will only be used outside.
Jorge Serna I very much like this sub, however, it's internally amplified so if you've already invested in external amplifiers you may want a passive subwoofer instead.
Dielectric Videos Thanks. Im looking at the website now. I do have the amplifier power but these old school qscs take up like 4 rack spaces. I have never owned a powered speaker so this may be a first. Thanks for the rapid reply.
perfect test of outdoor sounds
Yo the light thing you made is dope...
this is very dope but techno music is not all of that but if ya like it that counts
Great review Sir
Bro
Your voice is amazing. And I definitely sound gay as hell saying that
But you could do audio books 💯
Very helpful video🤝🏽
Do you recommend these speakers your using in the video or these ones (Rockville RPG152K Dual 15" Powered Speakers) ?! Thanks
Thanks partner that’s cool
Awesome video! You have inspired me to make my own battery powered PA sound!
I just learned about the Rockville brand by doing a search for folded horn sub cabs. Then I found your vid here. You are an intelligent young man and I enjoyed your vid. I was impressed with the bang for buck sound from your setup there. Just one note. You have probably learned by now that those so-called "modified sinewave" inverters are really a crazy distorted square wave! Nearly half the the power those things output is distortion. You are lucky that the built-in smoke wasn't released from any of your equipment! Pure sinewave inverters are getting much more mainstream now in price. I suggest a 1000 watt 12volt pure sine inverter and run off @ least 2 deep cycle marine batteries in parallel if you do any outdoor gigs. Your electronics will thank you.
How are the rockville speakers holding up?u still recommend for beginner dj?im on a budget and they seem good enough
It's been almost five years since I first bought them and they are still working as well as day one! I would recommend them for a beginner or hobbyist DJ for sure, and if you ever decide you want to upgrade, you can always run upgraded speakers/subs right alongside your Rockville ones.
Hello I just purchased 2 power gig rpg-8’s with the bass gig rbg -15S all the speakers work my problem is when I use the Hercules 300 mixer with it’s rca jacks to the sub and use the outputs from the sub to the 8’s the sound cones out from the sub only not the 8’s any suggestions?
I believe only the XLR ports are pass-through on the RBG-15S. You might try a set of RCA to XLR adapters to supply both the sub and PA speakers via the XLR pass-through.
@@DielectricVideos thanks I will try that for sure
I need you as a friend.
Okay but this setup of yours is pretty solid 👌 the bassbin makes up for the bass , it sounds pretty damn good 👍
Bro you build that contraption yourself 🤣👏 respect 🙏👌
Hey, how are the speakers now? Did you have any issues? Thanks.
The speakers have been extremely reliable and in the 5 years since I bought them I have not had any major problems with them. I did accidentally drop one during take-down after a gig, which caused the tweeter to break off of the case internally, but after repairing it with some plastic epoxy, the speaker was as good as new.
Dielectric Videos thanks for answering.
Lol its not a beast , it just entry level loud 🤔 but to a normal person it's probably pretty loud 😅 I actually just finished refinishing a double 15" 800RMS × 2 hybrid speaker system 😭 I'm just waiting for the glue to set then I can finally blow the damn roof off , I've never had such powerful sound before 😂❤ I'm even watching random videos of speakers 🤣
Great video and nice set up just giving some advice when you're running only 1 sub it's best to place it in the middle of your set up.
Well done young man. You put most of the adults to shame with your speaking abilities and professionalism.
Great video, I recently started djing again and need to get all my gear that was stolen and amazon has a killer deal on the setup that has 2 12" tops + 2 15" subs... I want a photo thermometer too :(
Got a rpg 10 bt. Nothing other. Love it. And nice video keep it up :D
awesome video! would it be possible to get your thoughts on the Rockville RPG122K? please thanks
Chabacano Maximus Thanks! I've never used the RPG122k system, although if it's from Rockville I would imagine it to be of good quality. I would have concerns about balancing issues due to the passive left speaker, but I'm sure that would be correctable in EQ.
Got it, thanks!
If only they wouldn’t come with any kind of Rockville logos anywhere on them
anyone else hear fire alarms in the background?
X2 Nexo S2 Subwoofers 18, X2 RCF EVOX 12, Dynacord VA215 ACTIVE SPEAKERS ,Im pushing around 5000 watts RMS :)
That's awesome, 5000W RMS is massive!
NOBOBY CARES !!!
The birds were making noise after the volume got turned down.👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
sound quality on my head phones is good. great job..
I have 4 RPA-16 amps. 4 15.24 towers and 4 PBG-18 passive subs.. 2 JBL party box 710's and 2 Party box 310's.. Rockville ROCKS! JBL party boxes are pretty kool too! I love the bulb box you built..!
Great video! How would I connect my powered speakers to the subwoofer? Also, I'm running my system through a Behringer 802 mixer.
DJ Kel The sub has a pass-through XLR connection for left and right channels, so you can connect your mixing board to the inputs and your powered speakers to the outputs.
Dielectric Videos Thank you for the quick response. I always curious how it all fit together.
I just purchased the RBG12S I love it. Probably doesn't hit lows like that 15 but I thought I'd give it a try as a starter DJ
StingrayDude15 12s sound better imo, doesn’t go as low but bass is more controlled and punchy. Also off axis mid range is much much better
@@joee374 oh goodness
I have a behringer 18 sub now. It used to be a powered sub but the amplifier that was on it burnt out idk exactly what happened but I'm using it as a passive subwoofer now, I wish the amp I have for it had a low pass filter but honestly it does the job as it is
everything about the video was great, the music was just absolutely GOD awful.
I bought a Rockville set up a couple years ago the FM sounds really good but hooked up to my computer or Bluetooth it sounds terrible FM seems to have four times the power then the computer or Bluetooth. Is that the way it is or is there something wrong with it ? My power base works great on FM but maybe 10% on my my computer or Bluetooth. Is there something I can do to fix it. The FM here is mostly nothing but commercials. The set up that I have is the RPG-152K 1500 watts and the base is the RBG-15S 1600 watts.
I have proreck 3200 , and sound great too but my question is, can I add the 2 these speakers ?
very interested in buying these.
U gave me life... Very professional
Have you tried party speakers like the jbl 310? I wonder how these rockvilles compare to the more expensive jbl's.
Good looking kid. Got a brain in that head. Would definitely hire if I was in the area.
Would it be possible to review their passive speakers, like the RSG15?
Very genius dood, love your inventions👍🚩
I'm a dj too in Phoenix. Very informative review thanks!
If only this were battery powered. Great job explaining! That's pretty creative with the sin wave, how long does it last?
If you're really concerned with needing portable power outdoors, get a small "quiet" generator. Battery power will limit the overall performance.
Great video
For the subwoofer, how do I know which way to set the Voltage selector switch on the bottom left?
Set it to 120V if you are in a country that uses 120V power (such as the U.S.), and if you are in a country that uses 240V power, set it to 240V.
@@DielectricVideos Ok, thank you for the help! Will using an extension cord hurt the quality of the speakers? I assume it won't, but I don't really understand all that well how the internal amps work.
@@dcbmartin An excessively long or light-duty (
Yay! Everybody can be a DJ now and make huge money doing it. Equipment is cheap. Music is free. Everybody has a PC or a smartphone with free software that will mix the trax for you. Yeah, it's awesome...until you realize that all your friends and neighbors are doing it too, and there's no need to hire you. Every bride and club owner has a brother that DJs for free or close to it. LOL
The golden age of the DJ is dead. There is no art left in it and little reason to pay for it.
It’s awesome that you had to come in with negativity. Now we all se why you can’t get DJ work. It was good for you to take your precious time and belittle this young man that truly loves what he is doing.
So DJ Scott shove it up your ass. You table scrap pilfering grab ass!
Anybody hear a spectre alert fire alarm in the background ?? 2:20
Great job
Respect to this guy I am feeling the video bro. great job..
Would this be a good choice for a singer. Wanting to sing along with a track!?!
With a mixing board that has microphone-level inputs (or a wireless microphone system), the speaker system should work well!
For low distortion, you could use a crossover to split frequences, so two output. Less bass will be sent thru 3-ways, and more bass will be sent to subs, so you get a perfect sound!
That’s not how that works, it would make the high tops clearer as well allow the subs to sound less muddy and boomy. Decreasing bass on one can don’t increase the bass on another cab. An x over allows you to fine tune the frequency range of your drivers nothing more.
Sounds pretty solid do the 2way speakers come with built in fans?
Keith Russell The heatsinks for the 2-way speakers are mounted to the outside of them and they rely on natural convection for cooling.
Dielectric Videos ok how many hours can you run them without over heating?
Keith Russell I've never had the PA speakers overheat, however the subwoofer did overheat after a 3-hour gig at clipping.
Dielectric Videos Ok thanks Gonna give these a try with the Rockville RBG 15A Subwoofer
Wut is the speaker model
The PA speakers are RPG15 and the subwoofer is an RBG15S.
A speaker doesn’t output power, it outputs decibels. That’s why a speaker with a sensitivity of 99dB/W/M and 100w power handling is much louder than a 90 dB/w/m speaker with 500watt power handling. So the real important part is the sensitivity of the box and not the power handling.
lol what hahaha
Jajajajaj nice video, I enjoyed a lot...
I have one question what type of mixer are you using with is system
I have a ROCKVILLE RGB-12s powered sub. The LPF is from 40 - 150. Would the 12 inch sub suffice for outside application like a block party?
Hey if I was to buy it could I use my phone only or do I need a DJ?
Brandon Mayhue You will need a 3.5mm jack to stereo XLR adapter, but yes, you certainly can!
Dielectric Videos so does it not come with it and would it work for both at the same time sorry for the questions I'm new to stage speakers lol
I would recommend the following products for your application:
3.5mm to RCA adapter: www.amazon.com/Gold-Plated-Copper-Shell-Heavy-Duty-Adapter-Extension/dp/B0721B58J2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1515736874&sr=8-4&keywords=3.5+mm+to+rca+female
RCA to XLR cables: www.amazon.com/Stagg-STC3CMXM-Male-Twin-Cable/dp/B003SOR6UC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1515736899&sr=8-3&keywords=rca+to+xlr
Have you used any amplifier?
gopal krishna bhowmick The speakers are internally amplified, so no external amplifier is required.
Oh I like it .
What cables do you need ? No one has any video on how to set this shit up.
So you still think it's good 5 years later.? I usually hear that the brand it's good but that it won't last more than few months
I had my Rockville rpg15 for 3 years it’s still good
How many Different instruments can you run through these?
Awesome review..how did you make that sine wave tool box ?
I took an old toolbox and mounted an inverter in the bottom of it. Then, I attached two LiPo model airplane batteries in parallel to the posts of the inverter. I drilled holes for ventilation, as well as for an outlet on the top which I then connected to the inverter. Finally, I added a display with a voltage module to track the battery voltage during use. I included a balance charger, but a BMS with a regular CC/CV battery charger outside the box would also work.
how many watts are the speakers? Thanks
DJ Cruz The PA speakers are 250W RMS and 1000W peak each. The subwoofer is 400W RMS and 1600W peak.
Thank you👍
I got the rpg 15 and if i turn the volume up over a quarter of the way the clip and limiter light come on strong. The speaker still sounds fine but those lights come on. What advice can you give me? Does this happen to anyone else with the rpg 15?
Lavalier mic is your friend....
Anyone use this setupnwith a live band yet? I would rather go with a Rockville 18 inch powered sub. House set-up. Nothing major, synth keyboard, click track, guitar, bass guitar. A few drum mics? Just for rehearsal purposes.
I'm thinking the same thing, what did you end up doing?
Neat video! Please tell us more about this "mystery" Energized Toolbox?
Bird translation, turn that ship down.
Are the outputs full sound or do they go with the 80hz 100hz cut off?
The subwoofer goes up to 120Hz max, but the PA speakers are full range from 20Hz-20kHz
But after coming out of the sub does the sub only send sound above the setting?
Hello ! GREAT setup ! How you think about LD Systems Dave 18 G3 setup ? Is enough for outdoor PA partys ? Thnaks ! Keep up the good work ! Gratings for Romania !
BTW dude your extremely intelligent you should build your own speakers lol
Can i ask what do you think of the pba15 i need to know before i buy any help will be great from anyone thanks
