RVES1 | RVSS2 | RVSS3 | RVES05: How to Set Up & Use

Introduction

The Rockville PA speaker stands provide a sturdy and adjustable platform for PA speakers, making them ideal for DJ setups, live performances, houses of worship, conference rooms, backyard parties, and karaoke.

This guide covers the setup process for the following Rockville speaker stand models:

• RVSS2
• RVSS3
• RVES05
• RVES1

Each of these stands features adjustable height, strong weight capacity, and easy portability.

Step 1: Unpacking the Speaker Stands

Most Rockville speaker stands come with a carry canvas bag, making them easy to transport. Each bag contains two stands.

Step 2: Setting Up the Tripod Base

1. Loosen the lower knob by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Pull up the center pole while pushing down on the tripod legs until they spread out fully.
3. Once positioned at the desired base width, tighten the lower knob by turning it clockwise.

Tip: A wider stance provides better stability, especially for heavier speakers.

Step 3: Adjusting the Stand Height

The height adjustment mechanism varies slightly between models:

For RVSS2 Stands

• Loosen the top height-adjustment knob.
• Adjust to the desired height and tighten the knob to secure it.

For RVSS3 Stands (with push-button locking system)

• Loosen the height-adjustment knob.
• Adjust the stand to your desired height.
• Insert the locking pin through the height holes for extra security.
• Tighten the knob.

For RVSS3 (With Built-in Assist Locking Pin)

• Loosen the height-adjustment knob.
• Push the built-in push-button locking pin while raising the stand.
• Let go of the button at the desired height, and it will automatically lock in place.
• Tighten the knob to secure it further.

Tip: The built-in assist pin on the RVS S3 makes it easier to lower the stand when a speaker is mounted—simply push the button, and the speaker weight will lower it smoothly.

Step 4: Mounting a Speaker onto the Stand

1. Ensure the speaker stand is stable before mounting a speaker.
2. Most Rockville PA speakers have a 35mm pole socket, which fits onto the stand.
3. If your speaker has a locking knob on the bottom, loosen it before mounting.
4. Align the speaker’s pole socket with the stand and slide it on.
5. Once the speaker is on the stand, tighten the speaker’s locking knob (if available) to secure it.

Tip: The RVSS2 and S3 stands support speakers up to 130 lbs, making them compatible with most PA speakers, including the Rockville RPG15 (one of the heaviest models).

Step 5: Adjusting Speaker Stand Height with a Speaker Mounted

If you need to lower the speaker height:

1. Hold onto the speaker firmly to prevent it from dropping too quickly.
2. Loosen the height adjustment knob.
3. Press the locking pin button (on RVS S3 models) and gently lower the stand.
4. Let the pin lock into place at the desired height.
5. Retighten the knob for added security.
