Introduction 

Rockville is proud to introduce our new RCS series of products. The RCS180-6 is a  180-

Watt  6-zone  rack  mountable  digital  hybrid  amplifier/receiver.  This  amplifier  is  capable 
of 70-volt,  100-volt,  8-ohm,  and  4-ohm  applications.  This  makes  it  perfect  for  use  in  a 
restaurant/bar/cafe/lounge/school/conference  room  or  any  other  setting  where  many 
speakers are needed. 

This  model  offers  180  watts  at  70-volt  or  100-volt  and the  power  can  be  split  up  into 6 
zones.  (Most  professionals  recommend  you  not  exceed  80%  of  the  amp  power,  so  we 
recommend your speakers' watts not to be more than 150 - 160 in total on the taps.) Each 
zone can have the power split as you please. For example, you can put all 150 -160 watts 
into one zone with one volume control. You can also have zone 1 with 60 watts, zone 2 with 
50 watts,  and the rest of the zones with 5 watts.  Just add the total watts up to be under 
150 -160 and you are OK.  No complex wiring required like with 8-ohm systems. 

With 3 mic inputs; 2 of which have echo control (Mic 2 and Mic 3), you can use this amplifier 
for  announcements,  speeches,  or  even Karaoke night!  This model also includes a chime 
button so you can create a chime sound before making announcements. The RCS series 
features Sluetooth audio streaming so you can play your favorite music or access a playlist 
right from your  phone!  This amp also features both  USS and SD inputs,  allowing you to 
play audio stored on a USS thumb drive or SD Card. There are also 2-line inputs that allow 
you to plug in another audio device such as an MP3 player, CD player, TV, etc. 

Individual volume knobs for each of the 6 zones and volume knobs for each of the 3 mic 

inputs gives you full control over your system. 

The built-in clipping limiter function protects your speakers and the amp from overheating. 

For  further  protection  there  is  also  a  cooling  system  in  this  amplifier  that  will  keep  the 

components running cool, making the amplifier durable and reliable. 

Our goal with the RCS series was to make it possible for anyone to install 70-volt systems 
on  their  own  without  spending  thousands  of  dollars  on  a  contractor.  This  model  makes 
it  a  breeze  to  connect  many  speakers  and  multiple  external  sources.  We  intentionally 
use common plugs like  RCA and ¼" on our model to make this more universal and user 

friendly. With our unique design you can feel confident in your DIY  ability when installing 

our commercial system!
