RPG2X10 V2: How To Set Up Karaoke – Rockville Audio

Introduction:

This article will guide you step by step on how to turn your Rockville RPG2X10 V2 speaker into a fun and easy-to-use karaoke setup. No prior audio experience is needed—just follow these simple instructions. Requirements:

Rockville RPG2X10 V2 speaker
Dynamic microphones (included)
XLR cables (included)
Mic stand with mic clip (optional)
Smartphone or tablet with Bluetooth capability

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Connect the Microphone

Take one dynamic microphone and an XLR cable.
Plug the female end of the XLR cable into the microphone.
Plug the male end into Input 1 on the back of the RPG2X10 V2.

2. Adjust Volume Levels

Turn up the Level knob for Channel 1 to set the mic volume.
Turn up the Master Volume knob to hear everything through the speaker.
Flip the ON switch on the microphone and test your voice ("Check 1, 2").

3. Optional: Use a Mic Stand

Each microphone includes a mic clip.
Attach the mic clip to any standard mic stand for hands-free singing.

4. Customize Sound Using Channel Controls

Each channel includes three tone adjustment knobs:

Bass knob – Controls low frequencies (lower it to reduce "boom," raise it for more body).
Treble knob – Controls high frequencies (lower it to soften, raise it for more clarity).
Echo knob – Adds echo effect (more on echo settings below).

5. Control Echo Settings

The echo unit allows you to fine-tune your reverb effect:

Echo Level – Adjusts the intensity of the echo.
Echo Time – Controls how long the echo lasts.
Echo Repeat – Sets how many times your voice will echo.

Adjust the echo parameters first, then turn up the Echo knob on each mic channel to apply the effect.

6. Connect Your Device via Bluetooth

Open Bluetooth settings on your smartphone or tablet.
Search for and select the device labeled "Rockville".
Wait for the pairing confirmation tone.

7. Play Karaoke Tracks

Open the YouTube app or your favorite karaoke app.
Search for any song followed by the word "karaoke".
Play the video and start singing along using the lyrics on your screen.
