SETUP GUIDE

SAFETY FIRST
Much of the setup of the Rockville RPG2xI OV2 is similar to the setup of other sound systems, and many aspects require plain common sense. Safety should always be your first concern. Always use grounded outlets and three-wire extension cords. Run sound system cables in a way to prevent the danger of tripping and tape them down if needed. Place the speaker stands and mixer on a solid, level surface. Following these guidelines will help prevent personal injury and equipment damage, ensuring years of trouble-free use.

Stands and Speakers
Remove the speaker stands from the case. Be sure the legs on the stand are fully extended to provide a stable base for the speakers and are positioned on a level surface. Tighten the thumbscrew on the base so that it is snug, but do not overtighten (figure I). Raise the speaker stands to the desired height, tighten the thumbscrew and install the safety pin as shown in figure 2.


Place speakers on stands and position them so that they will face toward the audience and away from the microphones. Connect speaker cables from the jack on the lower front of the speaker to the speaker outputs on the back of the mixer. Connect the left speaker to the LEFT OUTPUT and the right speaker to the RIGHT OUTPUT.

Only connect the included speakers to the mixer. The Rockville RPG2x10 V2's speakers provide optimal load for the powered mixer and using other speakers may result in equipment damage.

CONNECTIONS

Microphones and Line Inputs
The RPG2x10 V2's powered mixer is designed to work with any good-quality, balanced, dynamic or condenser microphone. Connect the included microphone(s) to the XLR (three-pin) input connectors as shown in figure 1. If using more than one microphone, connect them in the order they will be on stage for easy adjustment to each microphone. To connect a line level device such as a keyboard, use a 1/4"instrument cable and insert into the corresponding 1/4'" jack as shown in figure 2.

Media Playback Sources
The RPG2xI OV2's powered mixer will accept various media playback devices.

• To connect a turntable or a CD player use the CHANNEL 4 RCA inputs.
• To connect an MP3 player or smart phone with media playback capabilities use the 1/4" Line In jack or the RCA Line In inputs.
• To connect a USB memory stick or SD/MMC card use the corresponding inputs on the mixer panel. Use the screen and controls to navigate and playback audio files.
• To connect via Bluetooth, simply pair your device with the mixer.

Power
Connect the power cord to the receptacle on the back panel of the unit, and then to a suitable electrical outlet. If an extension cord is required, make sure it is a three-wire cord with an intact ground pin to preserve the safety ground.

GENERAL USE TIPS

Microphone Usage
When practical, a single microphone is preferred. Additional microphones pick up more sound from the speakers and each mic must then be turned down to prevent feedback. However, if you have difficulty balancing the level of different individuals with one mic or if you still cannot get sufficient gain, using more mics can offer an advantage. For example, giving several singers their own microphone allows placement of the microphones much closer to each singer. This increases the volume of the sound at the mic and far outweighs any detrimental effect from using multiple mics. It also allows the volume of each mic to be adjusted separately for proper balance.

Avoiding Irritating Feedback
The placement of your microphone is critical in avoiding feedback through the RPG2xIO V2. 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.

BASIC OPERATION

Setting Controls and Turning Unit On
Before turning on power, make sure all speakers, microphones, and other input devices are connected. Set Master Volume con to the 12 0'clock position and all other controls all the way down. Turn power on by placing the ON/OFF switch located on the back of the mixer to the ON position.

Adjusting Gain and Volume Controls
The optimal setting for the powered mixer and included speakers is marked on the MASTER VOLUME control. Adjust the CHANNEL LEVEL control until the desired volume is achieved. If the desired volume is reached with the CHANNEL LEVEL turned down to one of the first three positions, turn the MASTER VOLUME down so you can turn the CHANNEL LEVEL up. If the desired volume is achieved when the CHANNEL LEVEL is close to max then raise the MASTER VOLUME so you can lower the CHANNEL LEVEL. These are the same as any basic mixer functions.

Adjusting Tone Controls
For each active channel adjust the BASS and TREBLE controls to achieve desired sound. Use moderation when making these adjustments, as extreme high settings of any of these controls can lead to a distortion of the sound and an increased chance of feedback on microphone inputs.

HIGH
This High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble frequencies (±15dB at 12kHz) and is designed to remove noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of the source.

LOW
A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (±15dB at 80Hz). Low EQ adds depth to thin-sounding signals or cleans up the muddy ones. As with any EQ, use sparingly. Too much of this EQ can give you a booming bottom end.

EQUALIZATION AND EFFECTS

Graphic Equalizer
Unlike the BASS and TREBLE controls on each channel that adjust only that specific channel's input signal, the three-band equalizer adjusts the tonal balance of all the signals going through the powered mixer. It offers control over LOW (BASS), MID, and HIGH (TREBLE) frequencies (±15dB) and offers flexibility in adjusting sound. This equalizer also helps reduce or eliminate acoustic feedback.

Effects
This unit has a built-in digital delay. It's a reverb effect and features REPEAT, TIME, and LEVEL controls. The effect affects all channels (fig. 1) and can be individually controlled at each channel using the EFFECT control (fig. 2).

BLUETOOTH AND MEDIA

FUNCTIONS

1. Bass and Treble controls. Adjusts High and Low frequencies for the corresponding channel.
2. Level control. Adjusts gain level for the correspoding channel.
3. XLR microphone input. We recommend using profesional balanced dynamic, condenser or ribbon mics as they are least likely to be affected by interference. Low cost, high impedance mics can be used, however the level of background noise is higher since an unbalanced circuit is far more susceptible to interference.
4. Digital Delay Effect (reverb) control
5. Balanced 1/4"TRS input. It accepts signals from a variety of sources such as keyboards, electronic drums, tape recorders, mixers, etc. It will not process microphone input. When you use an unbalanced 1/4"TRS plug, the line input automatically turns the ring into ground.
6. Digital delay effect (echo) control panel.
   • The Repeat knob controls the rate of the delay.
   • The Delay knob controls the time interval of the delay.
   • The Level knob adjusts the mix level of the effect sound.
7. 4 band equalizer. Adjust frequencies to ±15dB
8. Balanced 1/4"TRS Line In / Out jacks.
9. RCA Line In / Record Out jacks.
10. Line In volume control.
11. MP3 (USB / SD / MMC input) volume control.
12. Master Volume control.
13. SD / MMC port.
14. LCD Screen.
15. IR receptor.
16. Power indicator LED.
17. USB port.
18. MP3 Player controls.
    • Press Play button once to play track, press again to pause.
    • Mode control switches between input modes: Bluetooth, USB, SD / MMC, and Radio.

• Repeat Button.
• Previous / Next track buttons also allow you to control the volume. For volume control quickly press button. To move between tracks press and hold the button for one second.
• Record button allows you to record input back to your USB drive or SD / MMC card.

19. IEC AC power socket.
20. Variable voltage selector switch (110v / 220v).
21. Power switch.
22. 1/4" s peaker outputs.
