RockvilleBPA10 10" 400W Powered PA DJ Speaker with Bluetooth, XLR, 1/4", RCA, 1/8" Inputs, USB/SD Music Player, Deep Bass, Remote Included - Perfect for Mobile DJ and Musicians, Small Venues, Events

I've tried a few of these portable AC-powered portable PA/monitor/music speakers with built-in amplifiers and near as I can tell, this is the best one in it's price-range/class.QUALITY: Right out of the box it looks nice. There's something about the fit & finish, and the layout of the controls, the design of the enclosure, even the packaging that communicates good quality. Everything is crisp. The lettering, the definition of the angles of the enclosure, everything is nice and clean and feels high quality. LOOKS: The front of the speaker has a very nice, back-illuminated logo.ENCLOSURE: The speaker has a handle built-into the design of the enclosure on the top to carry the speaker by, but the speaker vents on the sides (or top & bottom if using the speaker horizontally) are also handles. Horizontally is how I will primarily be orienting the speaker, and when set on a flat surface the speaker's face is angled up slightly, the same angle as a floor monitor. Perfect. The control panel, which is on the rear of the speaker, is well laid out. The speaker is fairly heavy. I attribute this to good quality internals, big magnets on the speakers, lots of heavy capacitors, etc., rather than the manufacturer just adding weight-plates to make it feel heavy & substantial.SOUND & POWER: The sound is average, typical for speakers of this type. It includes bass & treble controls, along with the standard volume and pre-amp gain controls, and they work quite well. The manufacturer advertises 100 watts RMS. I think that figure is optimistic. During testing the most I could get it to pull at peak was about 70 watts. That translates to somewhere near 35 watts of output. There is an LED indicator on the control panel on the rear which illuminates if the amplifier detects clipping (distortion caused by overloading the amplifier components). It never lit while I was using it. My power figure estimate is based on this being a class AB amp (why they didn't go with a class D I can only guess) and average Class AB amp efficiency is ~ 50%. The manufacturer claims 102db @ 1watt/1meter. That is a pretty efficient rating (it's a rating of the speaker, not the amplifier). I was able to get the speaker to put abut 110db @ 1w/1m. Maybe it could do more with the right audio sourceCONCLUSION: This speaker is much better, I figure twice as good, as the similar speaker from it's nearest rival, a firm whose name rhymes with mile. For the money it seems like quite a piece of hardware. When you consider the cost of portable Bluetooth speakers (this speaker supports Bluetooth, SD card, RCA line in, 3.5mm line in, USB, XLR, & 1/4" inputs. It even has an FM radio.), this is a lot of speaker with a lot of capabilities. Considering it has a 10" woofer with separate tweeter and the various functions (albeit without battery power), this is quite a lot of hardware for the money. This speaker comes with a remote control and supports XLR line-level output.Good looks, good quality, good performance, good sound, good feature set, and easy to use, this speaker is a smart choice.

What a great speaker, very well constructed with a hard shell that feels like aluminum. I do plan to buy a second speaker so I can have it in surround sound. Buy with Confidence.

I bought this Rockville BPA10 PA speaker specifically to use in a medium-large classroom for the instructor to speak to the students. The class is a sewing class, so I purchased the 10" woofer size to ensure it could be heard over the noise of the machines. I selected this model with the built-in radio and Bluetooth, so it could be used for multiple purposes. Smaller classes can enjoy the radio or streaming music from a phone when not used for the PA and mic.I liked this speaker paired up with a wireless mic because the speaker has a 1/4' line in that can be both Mic or Line. Some other powered speakers did not specifically have the Mic option, which is needed to boost the signal. The sound from the single speaker is pretty good using all the audio formats. The wireless mic (separate, not included) sounds great and is plenty loud for an indoor room. If it were used outdoors, I may go up to a larger speaker size or use a pair of speakers for distribution. The bluetooth audio was great, although music through a single speaker is not as good as stereo with two speakers.The speaker isn't too heavy to move around with ease. I like these types of PA speakers that have options like Bluetooth, as they can be used in so many situations. If you had a party and wanted to play music in rooms that didn't include a speaker, or even for outdoor use at a party, it would be great. We use these types of speakers for a small Theatre company rehearsals, where the music is played from an app on a mobile phone.Overall I am very pleased with this speaker and the instructor using it for the sewing classes is super happy.

I bought this speaker on Amazon resale and almost returned it for cosmetic reasons, but I ended up keeping it because it sounded so good. It actually sounded the best out of all the other more expensive speakers that I have bought & returned. I wouldn't buy this for professional sound though. It's more of a party speaker that would definitely rock a back yard party , especially it you had two of them. I've been using it for dj practice with my dj controller , and it sounds even better when I do that because I can fine tune things through it's mixer. The bass is punchy enough , but it's not gonna knock your picture frames off the wall.Overall. This is a 5 star speaker that offers alot, and I just might buy another 1 even though I don't need it.

Great speaker!! Loud! Very loud!! I got it for work as I’m not aloud to where my AirPods while welding or grinding! I was worried about this not being loud enough and boy was I wrong!!

I bought this to be used as a monitor in a small Church. It works great as that. It can be used so many other ways too, Bluetooth speaker for your phone, small portable PA system. Plenty of input options. The only criticism is the power cord won't stay locked in to the unit. I find myself checking it before an event. Not a big deal. I would recommend this.

Must buy unreal i just got one living room shakes great buy

Had an outdoor wedding ceremony that I just needed to play music and for mics and this was great! The price was great and the speaker is very lightweight allowing for easy setup. It looks clean and sleek, and was more than loud enough for over 150 guests outdoors!
