View full details
The 180W amplifier has six speaker zones with dedicated volume knobs, so restaurants, schools, and offices can set levels room by room without changing the whole system.
Outputs support 70V, 100V, and 4-16 ohm speaker connections, giving installers several wiring options for commercial spaces with distributed or conventional speaker layouts.
Three microphone inputs include echo speed and repeat adjustment, while the chime button helps staff get attention before announcements, speeches, or karaoke.
Bluetooth streaming, FM radio, USB, SD, RCA, and optical inputs offer playback choices for phones, stored files, tuners, televisions, and projectors in shared spaces.
A 19-inch rack-mountable chassis with removable brackets fits equipment cabinets, and detachable Euro-block speaker terminals simplify wiring during system installation.
Owner's Manual
The RCS180-6 supports 70V and 100V distributed speaker systems, plus 4-16 ohm speaker connections. This makes it suitable for commercial audio setups using ceiling or wall-mounted speakers. Match your speakers to the appropriate amplifier output when planning the installation.
Speaker count depends on the combined speaker tap settings, not just the number of speakers. Rockville recommends a total speaker tap load of no more than 150W. For example, ten speakers tapped at 15W each total 150W. Keep each zone’s load at or below 100W.
No. The RCS180-6 shares its 180W output across the six zones; it does not provide 180W per zone. Distribute your speaker loads to suit each area, keeping within the 100W-per-zone limit and the recommended 150W combined speaker tap load.
Yes. Each of the six speaker zones has its own volume knob, so you can set a dining room, bar, hallway, or office to a different listening level. These controls provide room-by-room volume adjustment; they should not be confused with separate music-source selection for each room.
Yes. Stream music from your phone through Bluetooth, connect a compatible TV or projector through the optical input, or connect an external source through RCA. The RCS180-6 also includes FM radio, USB playback, and an SD card slot. USB and SD media support capacities up to 32GB.
Yes. The RCS180-6 has three microphone inputs with individual volume controls, plus echo controls with speed and repeat adjustments. A dedicated chime button lets you sound a cue before speaking, making the amplifier useful for business announcements, school messages, speeches, and karaoke.
Yes. The RCS180-6 fits a standard 19-inch equipment rack using the included removable rack ears. The amplifier measures 17 × 14.5 × 3.75 inches and weighs 18.95 lb. The box also includes a remote, power cable, and FM radio antenna. It requires 120V AC power at 50-60Hz.

"We needed to replace an older PA amp on an party fishing vessel. So far the Rockville unit is working out very well. We gained the ability to add more zones than we previously had. The addition of FM and Bluetooth capabilities was a HUGE plus. We just installed Rockville Wet 6B and Wet 40B speakers that reallyu made our system special now. A few more zones coming and we are really pleased with our choice and help from James at Rockville."
"Just what I was hoping for great sound and easy to install."
"Finally a stereo amp/reciever that sounds amazing. I am very happy with this unit. The customer rep was right on target when he recommended it. The only issue/complaint would be that the FM receiver is a little weak and some station preset buttons would be helpful."
"I have 6 speakers in my health care practice. This lets us control the sound level in each room. Sound is richer and much more powerful than our previous set up. Outstanding value!"
"Great product"
"Awesome amp, easy set up. My speakers sound amazing now."
"Love your Equipment"
"The RCS 180-6 worked very well for a system I installed in a church fellowship hall. The unit with its many features provided background music and amplification of sound for a video source. Also giving amplified sound for public address. It was connected to four ""wall-mounted"" speakers strategically placed for room coverage and tapped at 35 watts each. This is the fourth one of these units I have placed in the last year and all have performed well. Gary, owner of SOUND INVESTMENTS A/V company."
"First time buyer. Great sound and easy to set up. Works great for my client for his needs. the Bluetooth option is ideal and having the ability to operate different zones is also very nice. I just wish it came with some stickers."
"Ordering was easy & delivery fast! The system was easy to set up and got it up and running in no time at all"
