Introduction

Rockville is proud to introduce our new RCS series of products. The RCS650-6 is a  650-
Watt six zone rack-mountable digital hybrid amplifier/receiver. This amplifier is capable 
of 70-volt, 100-volt, 16-ohm, 8-ohm, and 4-ohm applications. This makes it perfect for use 
in a restaurant/bar/café/lounge/school/conference room or any other setting where many 
speakers are needed.   

This model offers 650 watts at 70-volt or 100-volt and the power can be split up into 
six zones. (Most professionals recommend to not exceed 80% of the amp power, so we 
recommend your speakers’ watts not be more than 510 – 520 in total on the taps.)

 

Each 

zone can have the power split as you please. For example, you can put all 510 – 520 watts into 
one zone with one volume control. You can also have zone 1 with 100 watts, zone 2 with 
80 watts, and the rest of the zones with 340 watts. Just add the total watts up to be under 
510 – 520 and you are OK. No complex wiring required like with 8-ohm systems.  

With three mic inputs, two 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 Bluetooth audio streaming so you can play your favorite music or access 
a playlist right from your phone! This amp also features both USB and SD inputs, allowing 
you to play audio stored on a USB thumb drive or SD Card. There are also two 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 six zones and volume knobs for each of the three 
mic inputs give 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 is 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!
