RockVille RPG152K V2 15″ Active DJ/PA Speakers

Thank you for purchasing this Rockville Power Gig RPG152K V2 Bluetooth pro audio speaker system.

Please read this owner’s manual carefully for proper use of your Power Gig RPG152K V2 Bluetooth pro audio speaker. Should you need technical assistance, please call our technical help line at 1-646-758-0144, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm EST.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce risk of electric shock, never open the unit. There are no user serviceable parts. Refer service to an authorized Rockville service center.
Do not expose this unit to any kind of moisture.
Please ensure that the unit is situated in a properly ventilated area.
Make sure the unit is placed on a level and stable surface.

Setting Up Your Power Gig Professional Sound System

Your Power Gig is set up to produce the full spectrum of sound from its woofer and tweeter horn combination. The lower frequencies seek out the floor of the room that they are playing in and travel along the floor and walls. The tweeter horn is more directional. Hence when setting up your system its more important to make sure that the tweeter horns are not blocked by any furniture and are located/aimed at ear level to the listening audience. Woofer aiming is not as critical as explained previously due to the nature of the woofer sounds, allowing them to travel through various paths even when blocked.

It is therefore recommended that when setting up your system you set up your speakers on provided stands so that the tweeter sounds will radiate above the listening crowd. This will guarantee optimum sound dispersion and achieve clear vocal sound reproduction.

How To Avoid Irritating Feedback

The placement of your microphone is critical in avoiding feedback through your Power Gig system. Never set up your microphone in front of the speaker. Always set up your microphone behind the speaker. When approaching the speaker to make any adjustments, we recommend approaching the speaker from the rear and not walking directly towards the front of the speaker.

Assembling Your Power Gig Professional Sound System Stands

Remove the stands from their packaging.
Loosen up the adjustment knob (fig. a) and spread the legs to the desired width (fig. b). We recommend spreading the legs to the point that the support bars are parallel with the floor. Retighten the leg adjustment knob so that the legs are securely positioned (fig. c). Do not overtighten.

3. Loosen the stand extension by loosening the locking knob (fig. d). Lift the extension to the desired height (fig. e). Now insert the safety detent pin (fig. f). Make sure the pin goes all the way through the extension pole (fig. g). If you retighten the locking knob, do not overtighten it.

Mounting the Speaker

Unpack the speakers from their packaging.
Carefully lift the speaker above the stand, lining up the extension pole with the mounting hole at the bottom of the speaker (fig. h). This step may require a second person for assistance.
Once the speaker is mounted on the stand, secure it by tightening the locking knob located behind the pole opening at the bottom the speaker (fig. i).

Connecting the Passive Speaker

To connect the passive speaker to the active unit, use the included ¼” to ¼” cable. Connect one end of the cable to the ¼” port on the active unit marked Speaker Out (fig. j). Now connect the other end to the¼” port on the passive unit marked Speaker In (fig. k). Make sure that the power to the active unit is turned off before you connect the passive unit.

Setting Level Controls

It is best practice to set your input level controls (gains) in this manner:

Unplug all inputs except for the one you wish to set the gain for. In this instance, the Line In RCA inputs.

2. Set the line level input device volume (smart phone, tablet, MP3 player, etc.) to 60%.

3. Set the RPG152Kv2 Master Level to 75%.

4. Slowly turn up the level on the selected input (in this case, the Line/USS level). As soon as the clip indicator LED goes on or you hear any distortion – turn it down one or two notches.

After you set the levels on all input devices, you can readjust the RPG152Kv2 levels as necessary.

PLEASE NOTE
Because mixers feature two volume controls (channel and master), when connecting one via the XLR line in port, the procedure is slightly different. The RPG152Kv2 Master Level should be set to 50% and the Line/USB Level control should be set to 50%. Set the mixer master volume to 50% and make the adjustments in step 4 on the mixer channel level control. If after making these adjustments the signal still isn’t strong enough, you can additionally boost the signal by turning up the Line/USB Level control.

When adjusting the Mic Level control, you must speak into the micophone and adjust the level control as needed. This is because adjustments to the mic input are a matter of mic volume in relation to the music volume and not necessarily a clipping issue.

APPLICATION USES

Microphone Presentations
Your Power Gig features ultra-low noise Mic input via an XLR port and ¼” TRS stereo jack.

Make sure the Power switch is in the OFF position.
Plug your microphone into either the XLR port or ¼” jack (never use both at once).
Switch on the Power Gig unit.
Refer to the “Setting Level Controls” section of this manual for instructions on how to
properly adjust the Mic Level controls.

Always stand behind the Power Gig when making your microphone adjustments to avoid feedback distortion.

Line Input

You can use the Line In XLR input to connect a mixer or the RCA inputs to connect an additional stereo signal source such as a smart phone, tablet, MP3 player, CD player, etc.

Make sure the Power switch is in the OFF position.
Connect the mixer to the XLR input or line level signal source to the RCA inputs (never use both at once).
Switch on the Power Gig unit.
Make sure the MP3/Line Input button is set to the Line In position.
Refer to the “Setting Level Controls” section of this manual for instructions on how to
properly adjust the line input level control (gains).

Line Out Balanced Connection.
The XLR/¼” Line Outputs allow you to output the amplifier signal to a powered subwoofer,
another powered speaker, or an amp, which will, in turn, power other speakers. Simply connect the output device to the RPG152Kv2 using an XLR to XLR, XLR to ¼”TRS, or a ¼” to ¼” cable to share the signal. We recommend you use high quality cables such as Rockville’s RCXFM20E-B XLR to XLR cable, the RCXMB20-B XLR to ¼”TRS cable, or the RCTR series ¼” TRS to ¼” TRS cables. Do not use both outputs at once.

Speaker Output Connection.

The ¼” TRS output marked Speaker Out is used to connect the active unit to the passive unit. Passive speaker impedance must always be 8 ohms.

ROCKVILLE Amplifier Mono Car Amp+Remote

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Rockville RVA-M Series amplifier. Over the years, the technology used to create audio amplifiers has grown by leaps and bounds. Our competition is satisfied with just continuing to build the same units year after year without thought for improvement, but not Rockville. We consider it our mission to use our expertise in developing the latest technologies and to bring you the absolute best-sounding amplifiers on the market and of course at a reasonable price. You will be amazed at the quality and power that these new amps offer.

We have spared no expense in designing these amplifiers, creating the most rugged, reliable, powerful, and best-performing amplifiers. In fact, we are so sure of the quality we back up every RVA-M amplifier with one year warranty, which exemplifies our commitment to the end-user. (See the enclosed warranty card for details.)

Please read this installation guide carefully for proper use of your RVA-M Series amplifier. Read this entire guide fully before attempting your installation. Should you need assistance, please call our technical helpline at 1-646-758-0144, Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm EST.

WARNING: BE AWARE! Use of this amplifier at extremely high volumes for extended periods of time may cause hearing loss and or hearing damage. During periods of prolonged high-volume levels, it is recommended that you use ear safety devices. Your ability to hear necessary traffic sounds will be impaired. While driving always keep your sound volume at reasonable levels. We at Rockville want you to listen for many years to come.

When installing the amplifier, secure it tightly. An unmounted amplifier in your car can cause serious injury to passengers and damage to your vehicle if it is set in motion by an abrupt driving maneuver or shortstop.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, never open the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts; refer service to an authorized Rockville service center.
Do not expose this unit to any kind of moisture.
Please ensure that the unit is situated in a properly ventilated area.

Installation

Installation Basics
Before you begin your installation, disconnect the NEGATIVE(-) terminal from your car’s battery. This safety precaution will avoid possible short circuits while wiring your amplifier. Rockville amplifiers operate on 12-volt negative ground systems only. It is recommended that you layout your sound system design on paper first. This will help you during the installation so that you will have a wiring flowchart and not miss-wire any of your components.

Mount the amplifier in the trunk or hatch area of your vehicle. Never install an amplifier in the engine compartment or on the firewall. Please be sure to leave breathing room around the amplifier heat sink so that it can efficiently dissipate the heat it produces. The amplifier can be installed either horizontally or vertically.

When mounting the amplifier on the trunk floor, be sure to watch for your gas tank, gas lines, and electrical lines. Do not drill or mount any screws where they might penetrate the gas tank of your car.

Mounting the Amplifier
All RVA-M Series amplifier features four mounting tabs located at the amplifier’s four corners. Choose a convenient mounting location with unobstructed airflow. Lay down the amplifier and mark the location of the mounting holes. Remove the amplifier and drill pilot holes for the screws. Place the amplifier and secure it to the mounting surface using the supplied screws.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

Wiring

Make sure to disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) terminal from your car’s battery.
Attach an 8-gauge or heavier wire to the amplifier screw terminal marked GND. The connection should be as close to the amp as possible (20 feet or less). For runs of 20 feet or more, you will need 4-gauge or heavier wire. When connecting the ground wire, make sure that there is no paint or other insulator blocking a good ground connection. When installing multiple amplifiers, mount them in close proximity so that they can all share the same ground point.
Connect the remote terminal to the head unit’s remote output using 18-gauge or heavier wire. This connection is responsible for turning the amplifier on and off with the rest of the system. If there is no dedicated remote output, make this connection to the power antenna lead. Should your head unit not have any turn-on leads, you can wire the remote terminal to an accessory lead, which turns the amplifier on with your car’s ignition.
Use 0-gauge or heavier wire to connect the screw terminal marked +12V to the car battery’s POSITIVE (+) terminal. To protect the battery and electrical systems of your vehicle, add an in-line fuse holder within 18 of the car battery. This in-line fuse offers protection against damage from short circuits. The power wire should terminate in a large ring terminal connected directly to the POSITIVE (+) terminal. An optional second fuse can be installed closer to the amplifier for additional protection to the amplifier itself. If installing multiple amplifiers, install a distribution block near their location and, using a 4-gauge wire, connect the block to the in-line holder that is connected to the battery.
Insert fuse(s) into the in-line fuse holder(s) and check that all connections are properly secured.
Before powering up the system, set all the amplifier’s level controls to a minimum, the crossover/setting switches to the desired position, and the head unit’s volume to 75%.

We have received amplifiers back to our service department with melted power/ground terminals caused by a bad ground connection. When there is a lack of good ground, heat builds up at the contact screws of the amplifier terminal. Over time the heat generated will begin to melt the terminal. It is a good practice to feel the power and ground wires near the amplifier after using the amp for a while. If the wires feel hot to the touch, you probably have a bad or loose connection. If after adjusting your connections the wires still feel hot, you should upgrade to the next heaviest gauge wire. Because connections can work loose due to vehicle vibrations we recommend periodically tightening all power and ground connections.

All RVA-M Series amplifier is equipped with external fuses. Never replace the supplied external fuses with ones of a larger value.

Settings

Adjusting the System

Once the system is operational, set all crossover points to approximate settings. In the case of the basic subwoofer system, set the Low Pass filter crossover at 100Hz or so. Set the bass equalizer controls to 0dB. Turn the controls using a small flat-head screwdriver. Do not apply any pressure while turning as this might break the control unit.
Now set the amplifier’s Input Sensitivity adjustment. The control(s) accessible on the side of the amplifier marked LEVEL or INPUT LEVEL adjusts the input sensitivity. Turn it counterclockwise to the MIN position. Adjust your head unit’s volume level to the maximum it can go before signal distorts or to the loudest level, which is usually about 75 85% on most head units (you can also use an oscilloscope to see at what level your head unit distorts). When you begin to hear distortion in the sound, back down one notch and your amp is set. It is helpful to have a second person to help you set the gain. When setting up a multi-amp system, set each amplifier’s level controls separately. Start off with the bass amplifier, then adjust the highs amplifier’s level control to match. Please note that the level control of any car amplifier should not be mistaken for volume control. It is a sophisticated device designed to match the output level of your source unit to the input level of the amplifier. Do not adjust the amplifier level to maximum unless your input level requires it. Your system can also be extremely sensitive to noise when the LEVEL is set to maximum and does not match your input signal. These adjustments need to be made only once when first setting up the system.
Once you are satisfied with the level control settings, use any equalizer controls to adjust the system tonal level for personal preference. Keep in mind that after equalizing, you may have to go back and reset the amplifier’s level controls.

If your unit has been professionally installed, please do not change the gain settings set by the installer; he is the professional!

Audio Pre-amp Input
The RVA-M Series amplifiers feature RCA pre-amp inputs. Run RCA cables from your sound source to the amplifier inputs. We suggest you use high-quality, shielded RCA patch cords to help reduce and eliminate unwanted electrical noise to your system. Use good quality RCA interconnect cables. Cheaper cables usually have poor shielding that can cause interference pickup.

Be sure to run the RCA cables on the side of the vehicle opposite the side used to carry the power and ground leads of the amplifier.

Using the Built-In Low Pass Electronic Crossover
All RVA-M Series amplifiers feature 12dB per octave fully adjustable crossovers with differential circuitry.

The knob marked LPF will control the low pass frequencies from 40Hz 180Hz. A frequent error made is setting the low pass frequency too low, especially when using vented subwoofer enclosures. We recommend that for most installations you set the frequency knob between 80Hz 150Hz depending on your preference and the rest of your audio system.

Using the Subsonic Filter
Subsonic frequencies are very low and can cause damage to your subwoofers. The Subsonic Filter will allow you to attenuate any frequencies below the set limit.

Using the Phase Shift
The phase shift control synchronizes the phase of your subwoofer output to that of the other speakers in the vehicle. It can be set anywhere between 0 to 180 degrees. Set the amp to 0 and listen to a track with some bass. Now set the control to 180 degrees, listen to the same track, and see if the bass output improves or becomes worse. Adjust the switch until you achieve the best results.

Sealed Enclosures
Sealed boxes are tuned by enclosure volume; larger enclosures tune lower, smaller enclosures tune higher. Subsonic frequencies can cause damage to your woofer as they cause it to play below the enclosure’s tuning, forcing it to the limits of its excursion and making it expend a lot of energy. To avoid damage to your woofer set the Subsonic Filter to 25Hz 35Hz.
Ported Enclosures
The enclosure’s port should be tuned to a certain frequency so that the enclosure is capable of playing all frequencies above that tuning. The enclosure can play below that frequency, but only half an octave before the cone starts to overextend. Hence, set the Subsonic Filter to ½ an octave below the tuned frequency.

Here is a simple formula to help you figure out the proper Subsonic HPF setting for your particular ported enclosure. Keep in mind that one octave up is double the frequency and one octave down is half the frequency:

Divide the tuning frequency of your port by two. This is one octave lower than your tuning frequency.
Divide the quotient (answer) of step 1 by two. This is half an octave lower.
Now subtract the quotient (answer) of step 2 from the port’s tuning frequency.

Example:
Port tuning frequency is 46Hz

1. 46Hz ÷ 2 = 23Hz (one octave lower)
2. 23Hz ÷ 2 = 11.5Hz (half an octave lower)
3. 46 – 11.5 = 34.5Hz (round up to 35Hz)
So, you would set your Subsonic HPF to 35Hz.

Please note: The subsonic filter is NOT a cutoff. It has a roll-off slope that will attenuate the frequency it is set to. Attenuation will increase as the frequencies get lower, meaning the power to the woofer decreases at the filtered frequencies, which reduces excursion and the potential for damage.
Subsonic Filters have steep slopes such as 3rd or 4th order (18 or 24dB/Oct) so they can be set as close to your ½ octave frequency as possible, or 25Hz 35Hz sealed, without losing power in the surrounding frequencies.

Class D Monoblock 1 Ohm Amp Configurations

Class D Monoblock Amp Input
Connect your head unit’s RCA outputs to the amplifier’s Left and Right RCA input jacks.
These amps are 1-ohm stable monoblock amplifiers. No matter how many woofers you choose to wire up to these models, the final impedance should not fall below 1 ohm. Please see pages 15 and 16 for various speaker impedance configurations.

The dual positive and negative terminals are connected in parallel inside the amplifier. Connecting two speakers, each to one set of positive and negative terminals will result in a parallel speaker connection. If only connecting only one pair of speaker wires, it is not necessary to use both sets of connections.

Twin Amp Bridging
The RVA-M2 and RVA-M3 can be bridged to another amplifier of the same model for double the power output into a single 4-ohm load. Remember, when bridging amplifiers you must bridge them to a 4-ohm load.

Input the head unit signal into the MASTER amplifier. Use a MONO RCA to RCA cable to send the fully processed signal from the BRIDGE OUT RCA port of the MASTER amplifier to the BRIDGE IN RCA port of the SLAVE amplifier. Do not input any RCA signals into the SLAVE amplifier’s left and right inputs. All functions will be controlled by the MASTER amplifier. There is no need to gain match the two amplifiers; it will occur automatically. The dashboard-mounted subwoofer remote control should be plugged into the MASTER amplifier and it will control both amplifiers.

This same input/control system can be utilized when daisy-chaining two amplifiers to two independent 2-ohm woofers as long as you don’t bridge the two amplifier outputs together.

You can only bridge two of the same amplifiers together. DO NOT bridge different models together.

When bridging two amplifiers together, the final impedance load of the bridged amplifiers should be no lower than 4 ohms. Double power will occur at 4 ohms. The MASTER amplifier’s positive (+) speaker terminal should be wired to the positive terminal of the subwoofer.

The SLAVE amplifier’s positive (+) speaker terminal should be wired to the negative terminal of the subwoofer. Connect a heavy gauge wire (12 gauge) between the negative (-) terminal of the MASTER amplifier and the Negative (-) terminal of the SLAVE amplifier.

When daisy-chaining two amplifiers for independent woofers, wire up the woofers as you would typically wire them when installing individual systems, even down to 2 ohms. By using the MASTER/SLAVE input configuration you gain the advantage of having one amplifier’s pre-amp section control both amplifiers, eliminating the need to gain-match and crossover-match your system between amplifiers.

Power and Protection Circuitry
RVA-M Series amplifiers feature our unique IC-controlled protection circuitry. This sophisticated circuit constantly monitors the heat sink internal temperature and various voltages, adjusting the amp automatically and protecting it from dangerous conditions. The LED located on the side of the amplifier provides an indication of the amplifier’s status. The LED will light green when the amplifier is receiving proper power, ground, and remote voltages, and the IC-monitoring sequence indicates the amp is functional. In case the amplifier encounters a diagnostic condition as listed below, the LED will light red indicating a diagnostic condition. When a diagnostic condition is sensed, the amplifier will go into a self-preservation mode. If the cause of the diagnostic condition is not corrected, it will eventually shut down. There are certain critical diagnostic conditions that will turn the amplifier off immediately.

Thermal Protection: When the amplifier reaches an unsafe operating temperature of 80 degrees Celsius, the amplifier will turn off. Once the amplifier cools down to a safe temperature, it will automatically turn on again. If you live in a hot climate, we suggest installing additional cooling fans in your trunk to exhaust the hot air that can build up in the trunk this will help keep the ambient temperature in the trunk as low as possible so that your amps work flawlessly and without any musical interruption.

Speaker Short-Circuit Protection: Should your speakers short-circuit due to voice coil burnout, or should the amplifier sense an impedance too low to handle, the Protection LED will light, indicating a diagnostic condition. Turn off your system, disconnect one speaker at a time and try to determine which speaker might be faulty. Correct the condition and restart the amplifier. You must reset the amplifier by turning it OFF and then ON again by the Remote power connection after correcting a diagnostic condition. (Turn your radio off and then on again.) Clipping or total shutdown may also be a result of a bad ground connection or loose ground. If you find that your speakers and speaker wires are not shorted, please check your ground and power connections.

Input Overload Protection: This circuit will either shut down the amplifier completely or make the amplifier spurt on and off, indicating that it is in a diagnostic condition. Turn the system off and reduce the gain on the amplifier or volume from your head unit; this should result in a corrected condition.

DC Offset Protection: Should any DC voltage try to enter the amplifier via the speaker terminals, it will cause the amplifier to shut down and not operate until this condition is remedied. This circuit will also protect damaging high DC voltages from reaching your speakers should your amplifier ever malfunction.

You must reset the amplifier by turning it OFF and then ON again after correcting a diagnostic condition (turn your radio off and then on again). If the amplifier stays in protection after a reset, it is most likely faulty.

To reset the amplifier, you must first diagnose what caused the problem, correct the fault, and restart the system.
Mute Circuit
This is an anti-thump, mute-and-delay circuit that eliminates irritating, speaker-damaging, turn-on, and turn-off transients normally experienced with less expensive amplifiers.

Bass Remote
The dash-mounted bass remote allows you to control the amplifier’s bass level from the comfort of the driver’s seat. It features a power LED indicator, which indicates the unit is receiving power and operating nominally.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM
Amp goes into protect mode

CAUSE/SOLUTION

Short-circuit protection – Caused by the power or ground wire not being fastened tightly. Disconnect the speakers from the amp. If the amp is still in protect mode, you now know the issue is somewhere with the power, ground, or remote wire. You should check and make sure the ground is tight. You should check the power wire terminals. Make sure the positive is going to the positive, and the negative is going to the negative. If all this is secure, you can use a multimeter and make sure you are getting 12 14.4 volts coming from your power wire. If this is all checking out properly, then you should check that the remote wire is properly connected to the remote wire on your receiver. Many times people mistakenly connect it to the antenna wire instead. If this is correct, you should also use a multimeter and make sure your remote wire is getting 5 volts.
Thermal protection – This happens when the amplifier overheats. Check that your subwoofers are compatible with your amp and that they are wired correctly.
Blown speaker – To check for a blown speaker, disconnect all the speakers from the amplifier. If the amp goes out of protecting mode, then the problem is indeed a blown speaker. Find which speaker is blown and replace it.
Wrong speaker impedance – Replace the speaker(s) with one of the proper impedance.
Speaker wires touching – If the positive and negative speaker wires that run from your speakers to your amplifier touch each other either by the speaker terminals or by the amplifier terminals, the amp will go into protect mode. Check all speaker connections to ensure that the wires are not touching.
Reverse polarity protection – Reverse polarity means the positive and negative power wires are backward. Connect the speaker wires to the correct terminals.
Power wire gauge – If your power and ground wire is not thick enough, the amp will go into protect mode to protect itself from unsafe signals. Be sure to use the proper gauge wires.
RCA cables – RCA patch cables that are grounded out or otherwise faulty can also cause the protect light to come on. To check this, you can simply hook up a set of known good RCA cables to your head unit and amp. If that causes the light to turn off, replacing the RCA cables will fix the problem.

PROBLEM
Amp won’t power on
CAUSE/SOLUTION

The external fuse is not properly secured to the power wire or is not making proper contact with the wire. Ensure the fuse is properly seated and making contact.
Your external fuse (inside the fuse holder) is blown. Replace the fuse. Never replace the supplied external fuse with one of a larger value
Amplifier’s internal fuse is blown (the fuse on the side of the amp). Replace the fuse. Never replace the built-in fuse with one of a larger value
Check the ground wire. Make sure the connection is 100% secure and tight.
The power wire is not connected properly to the ring terminal or it has acid corrosion on it. Check the connection to the ring terminal and use a wire brush to clean any corrosion off the ring.
Check the power wire. Make sure the positive is wired to the positive, and the negative is going to the negative. Make sure the power wire is secure.
Check the remote turn-on wire. Make sure that this wire is connected securely to the amplifier on one end, and make sure the other end is connected to the remote turn on of the receiver. A common error we see is the remote turn-on gets connected to the antenna wire instead of the remote turn-on wire of the head unit. Please note the remote turn-on wire is a required wire. The amp will not work if this is not connected. It is also possible the remote terminal is loose and fell out.
The power wire is connected to the ground terminal of the amplifier. Connect the power wire to the +12V terminal of the amp.
Power or ground wire became loose. Check all connections and make sure they are tight.

PROBLEM
Power but no sound

CAUSE/SOLUTION

Check if any protection lights are on. If protection lights are on, please refer to the “Amp goes into protect mode” section on page 17.
Make sure the RCA cable that is plugged into your amplifier is plugged into the RCA input. If you have it plugged into the RCA output, then the amplifier will not get any sound.
Check the RCA cable that is going from the amplifier to the receiver. We recommend having a spare RCA cable to test with. Many times RCA cables go bad since they are thin cables. You can also test your RCA signal using a multimeter.
The next thing to check is the speaker wire that is going from the amp to the speakers. If the amplifier is in bridged mode, then be sure you connected the speaker wire to the proper terminals. You want to check that the
Check your gain on the amp and/or on your bass remote. If it is on 0, then turn it up slowly.
Check the RCA cable that is plugged into your receiver. Make sure you plugged the amplifier into the preamp output that is red and white. In many cases, we have seen customers plug the RCA into the RCA video of their receiver, which is yellow. If this is the case, just plug the RCA into the proper connections and your problem will be solved.
There is a setting on your receiver that can disable your RCA outputs. The setting is under fader/balance control. On your receiver navigate to fader/balance and find the setting, then make sure you enable front, rear, and sub-pre-amp outputs. Sometimes the head unit will allow you only to enable front and rear, which would cause the amp to have no sound.
Speaker wire is not making good contact on the speaker output of the amp or on the speaker terminal. You need to make sure the speaker wire is securely tightened into the speaker terminal and the amplifier terminal.
A pinched or cut speaker wire that is now not running a signal. Speaker wire is very thin and can rip or tear easily. If you have a spare speaker wire, then you can test this issue with a new speaker wire and see if that solves your issue. You can also visually inspect your current speaker wire.
Make sure the positive and negative speaker wires are running to the positive and negative speaker terminal of the amp. If they are reversed, then the speaker will play no sound or very little sound.

PROBLEM
Amp is clipping

CAUSE/SOLUTION

Speakers/subs are too powerful for the amplifier you are using. Check the compatibility of your speakers/ subs. Replace incompatible speakers/subs with compatible ones.
If the speakers/subs are wired at a lower impedance (ohms) than the amp is supposed to be playing, this can cause the amp to clip. Wire the speakers/subs at the proper impedance.
If the gain setting is too high, this can cause the amp to clip. The proper way to set your gain is to turn your receiver volume to 75% of the max, and then slowly turn your gain up. The second you hear any slight distortion, turn it down one notch and leave it at that setting. Amps are not meant to be played with the gain up to the max. If this is the case, lower your gain slowly until you hear the amplifier stop clipping.
A poor ground cable connection can cause your amp to clip because improper power is getting to the amp. Check your ground connection and make sure that the cable is securely tightened.
A very common cause of amplifier clipping is power and ground wire that is too thin of a gauge size for the amplifier. Determine the proper wire gauge necessary and replace existing wires.
If using multiple devices that all have a volume control (such as an equalizer or processor, receiver, and the amp), then you would need to lower one or two of those devices to stop the amp from clipping.

PROBLEM

Distortion, background noise, crackling, or hissing in the speakers

CAUSE/SOLUTION

First, check to see how your wires are run. If your RCA cables and speaker wire are run alongside your power cables, they will pick up feedback. If this is the case, you will need to run the RCA cable on the other side separate from your power cable.
A poor ground cable connection can cause your amp to clip because improper power is getting to the amp. Check your ground connection and make sure that the cable is securely tightened.
Engine noise You will know it is engine noise if every time you rev your engine the noise gets louder. You can install a ground loop isolator on the receiver’s power lead to cut down on signal pollution. Most often, however, engine noise comes from a loose or intermittent ground connection. Make sure your ground connection is tight and that you are using the proper gauge cable.
If your gain on your amp is set to the max and your receiver has a high preamp voltage, it will cause some unwanted noise. To properly set your gain, play a CD or other music. Now put the receiver volume to 75% 80% of the max. Then slowly turn the gain of the amp to a setting where you do not hear a loud hiss. A low hiss is acceptable, as with music playing you will never hear it. Please note the amp gain is not a volume control. It is meant to be matched to the pre-amp voltage of a head unit. It is important to properly set your gain when you buy a new amp.
Noise can be picked up due to bad RCA cables. Especially the super cheap ones. We recommend doing a test with different RCA cables. Replace the RCA cables if needed.
Low-quality speaker wires will also cause noise. We recommend you buy high-quality insulated speaker wire made for marine applications.

PROBLEM
The sound is too low
CAUSE/SOLUTION

This can be caused by wiring at too high of an impedance (ohms) and the amp puts out low power, at 4 or 8 ohms for example. To resolve this you will have to properly wire your speakers/subs to the amplifier.
Check the gain level on the amp. You may need to turn it up.
Power and ground wire that is too thin of a gauge size for the amplifier may cause low sound. Determine the proper wire gauge necessary and replace existing wires.
Make sure your positive and negative speaker wires are not reversed, as this would cause the sub to move but not make much noise.
Check your crossover setting on your amplifier. You may need to filter out more high frequencies, which your sub is not meant to play. So make sure it’s on low pass mode and then you also should try lowering the frequency of that low pass crossover and see if that helps.
On your receiver, it is very common to have a volume level control for the pre-amp outputs (separate from your master volume control). To fix this, you can navigate to the audio settings, and search for subwoofer level controls, as well as front and rear pre-amp output controls. Crank up the level on this setting and you will be back in business.
The amplifier may not be powerful enough. If this is the case, we recommend upgrading to a more powerful amplifier.

PROBLEM
Amp keeps blowing fuses
CAUSE/SOLUTION

Main Fuse – If you determine that your main fuse is blowing, then you’ll want to pay attention to when it blows. Try inserting a good, properly rated fuse with your head unit–and an amplifier–turned off. If the fuse blows immediately, when everything is off, then you’re probably dealing with some kind of short in the power cable between the main fuse and the distribution block, or between the main fuse and the amplifier if there is no distribution block in the system.
Distribution Block Amp Fuse – If both sides of the main fuse have power, and one side of the distribution block has power, but the other side of that fuse is dead, then you’re either dealing with a shorted power wire or an internal amplifier fault. There are a few ways to determine which one is the culprit, depending on how your amp is installed and where the wires are routed.
1. Check if you can see the power wire that connects the distribution block to your amp. In an ideal situation, you’ll be able to see the entire length of the wire. If that isn’t possible, then the next best thing is to just disconnect the power wire from your amp, make sure that the loose end isn’t in contact with the ground, and check whether the fuse still blows. If it does, then the problem is in the power wire, and replacing it will almost certainly fix your problem. Of course, you’ll have to take care when routing the new wire so that it doesn’t end up shorting out as well. If the fuse doesn’t blow with the power wire disconnected from your amp, then you have an internal amplifier problem.
Internal Amplifier Fuse – If the fuse blows when the amp is turned up, then you likely have subwoofers that are either incompatible or that are wired at too low of an impedance. Rewire to achieve proper impedance, or replace the subwoofers with compatible ones. Check and make sure the power and ground wires did not get crossed. Also, check and make sure your speaker wires are not crossed.

PROBLEM
Amp gets very hot

CAUSE/SOLUTION

The main reason amps overheat is if the impedance they are running at is very low, or if the subwoofer requires more power than the amp can give it. Also if the wiring cannot give the proper current fast enough, it can cause the amp to get hot as well. Make sure the amp is running at the proper impedance, or use subwoofers that are compatible with the amp. Make sure the wiring is correct and you are using the proper wires for your system.
A poor ground cable connection can cause your amp to get very hot. Check your ground connection and make sure that the cable is securely tightened.
Check the location where your amp is mounted. Make sure it is in a spot where it will receive proper ventilation.

PROBLEM
Amp or powered sub does not turn off when you turn off the vehicle
CAUSE/SOLUTION

This situation happens when you connect the remote turn-on wire to a constant 12V power wire (often this is a yellow wire) instead of to the remote turn-on wire of your receiver’s wire harness. Pull out your receiver and plug the amplifier’s remote turn-on wire into the proper remote turn-on terminal of your receiver’s wire harness.
. In a rare situation, the remote turn-on wire input is touching the power wire, which can also cause this same issue. If this is what is happening, then simply take the remote turn-on wire out of the amplifier terminal and carefully put it back in so that it is not touching the power wire.

PROBLEM
One channel on the amp isn’t working
CAUSE/SOLUTION

Check the RCA cable that is going from the amplifier to the receiver. We recommend having a spare RCA cable to test with. Many times RCA cables go bad since they are thin cables. You can also test your RCA signal using a multimeter.
Check the RCA cable that is plugged into your receiver. Make sure you plugged the amplifier into the preamp output that is red and white. In many cases, we have seen customers plug the RCA into the RCA video of their receiver, which is yellow. If this is the case, just plug the RCA into the proper connections and your problem will be solved.
There is a setting on your receiver that can disable your RCA outputs. The setting is under fader/balance control. On your receiver navigate to fader/balance and find the setting, then make sure you enable front, rear, and sub-pre-amp outputs. Sometimes the head unit will allow you only to enable front and rear, which would cause the amp to have no sound.
Speaker wire is not making good contact on the speaker output of the amp or on the speaker terminal. You need to make sure the speaker wire is securely tightened into the speaker terminal and the amplifier terminal.
Make sure the positive speaker wire is connected to the positive terminal on the speaker and on the amp, and make sure the negative is connected to the negative.
Each channel on your amplifier has a gain control. Make sure the gain on this channel of the amplifier is turned up.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Please note:

Most boats run on two batteries, each 12 volts, combined in series to provide 24 volts of power. In the diagram below, the battery on the left is the ENGINE battery. Its positive lead goes to the engine and its negative lead is tied to the positive lead of the HOUSE battery on the right. The HOUSE battery’s negative terminal provides the common ground for the boat’s electrical system. The RGHR2 runs on 12 volts. Hence, for trouble-free performance, connect the black ground wire and red power wire of the RGHR2 to the corresponding terminals on the HOUSE battery only. If the black ground wire does not reach the battery, it can be connected elsewhere, but it may cause intermittent issues. The safest bet is to connect the ground wire directly to the negative (black) terminal of the HOUSE battery.

Rockville RCM02 Condenser Microphone Manual

ItsManual — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 05:39:22 +0000

RCM02 Professional Cardioid Condenser Microphone User Manual

Rockville Studio Artist Series

The RCM02 was designed for crystal clear capturing of vocals, acoustic and amplified instruments, as well as room reverb. The frequency pick up pattern makes this microphone amazing in studio applications. Its large frame and aluminum construction make the RCM02 tough enough for live sound applications as well!

The RCM02 can be used in multiple ways. You can connect this to the phantom power of your mixer or you can connect it directly to your computer sound card. We include a cable to connect it to your mixer as well as a cable to connect the mic to your computer!

The microphone is made of aluminum. It is very rugged and tough like you would expect from any Rockville product. This microphone has a large diaphragm which is what enables our mic to deliver a wider range of high and low frequencies than our competitors. Our frequency range is tested at 30Hz – 20kHz! The mic sounds crystal clear with no distortion!

The PCB (circuit board) uses surface mounted components which is the same method the expensive brands use. We use only top components that under-go extreme testing by our own audio engineers.

The last thing you should know is that our product is very sturdy. When you are recording, you do not want even the slightest noises coming from your mic. Microphones consists of a casing inside of which there is a cartridge. You definitely do not want that cartridge moving around. We made sure to adjust our mechanism so as to ensure the cartridge is firmly in place and not creating any unwanted noises.

It is important to position the microphone directly in line (on axis) with the person speaking/ singing or instrument (or other sound source) to achieve the best frequency response. For use in speaking/singing applications, the ideal placement for the microphone is directly in front of the person speaking/singing. The same placement is optimal when micing an instrument such as an acoustic guitar, drums or piano. Experiment with different mic placements to find the best sound for your particular setup.
