Gearank Recommendation

The RPM85 appeared on our recommended list for Powered Mixers Under $500 for 2 editions from December 2020 until October 2022.

Overview

The Rockville RPM85 is presented by the company to be one of the best sounding powered mixers on the market.

The RPM85 features 8 channels with independent gain, EQ, and reverb.

A graphic EQ, USB and SD playback with independent aux volume rounds out the features.

All this is housed in a sturdy wooden enclosure.

For the price, it’s hard to beat the Rockville RPM85 for power and clarity. While the unit’s simplicity may be a downside for some, the build, sound quality and power more than make up for it.
