Your cart is empty.The Rockville APM8 active studio monitor comes in pairs and each monitor is bi-amped. What this means is that there is a separate amp for the highs and a separate amp for the lows! Each speaker has 250 watts peak output power and 125 watts RMS giving you a total of 500 watts peak and 250 watts RMS per pair. We spent a lot of time developing the most premium studio monitors we ever built! I am very pleased and excited to talk to you guys about what we did to make these speakers sound as good as they do. If you are an audiophile you will find what we did to be quite amazing. Keep in mind, the only reason our price point is not 300 % higher is because you are buying manufacturer direct. We are one of the leading speaker manufacturers in the USA, and we have a state of the art manufacturing process. There is a lot to talk about so I will break it down into sections. description of the enclosure: We chose a wooden enclosure as opposed to a plastic enclosure. Your studio is made of wood for a reason. The sound characteristics of high quality wood are better than plastic. We only use the highest quality mdi wood. We do not bother with cheap particle board material when we want to make the best speakers. The thickness is 0. 5 around and the front board is a full 1 thick to give you the best sound quality possible. The enclosure is built with the perfect amount of air space to maximize sound quality for a studio. every studio or computer room should look beautiful. We believe speakers should enhance the look of a room. We make these speakers in 3 beautiful finishes. Painted Black, painted white, and wood finish. We use &liquor; baking paint made for wood surfaces. It is long lasting and the best paint for speakers! We went with a beautiful finish that is mostly matte with a slight shine to it. Our designers spent countless hours on the color to make sure it is not only beautiful but elegant as well to improve The appearance of your studio or room.

I was very upset when my Rokit 5 just stop working. I’ve had them for years and loved them. I wanted to replace them but my budget was restraining my choices. I found these Rockville’s did some research and it all sounded so great. I was so skeptical because of the price... So glad I bought them. The look and sound are prestige. I am very happy with my purchase.

My mom purchased these for my 22 year old nephew for Christmas, and I was over there to help her wrap presents. These speakers were so heavy that I took one out and wrapped it, kept the other one in the box and hid it upstairs. As a joke, when he opened his present and saw that there was only one, he LQQKED up with a puzzled look on his face. I said, "Oh. The guy on Ebay said you could probably find the other one for cheap after Christmas." He just sat there a minute and then replied, "Ha Ha, you're kidding. But I would have believed you if you had wrapped the other speaker instead. This is the connecting one." Darn. Anyway, he loves and is happy with his speakers (uses them in a condo he shares with friends) and he says they are very good quality. :O)

Let me start by informing you that I have owned only passive monitors with a dream of one day being able to have a set of nice active monitors.I am really picky when it comes to my sound. With previous passive monitors, I would bring them to the music store, and pair them up with different amps so I could find the best sounding amp that worked with the monitors. It was a fun adventure, but being a parent and not having the free time, I knew I needed to go active for my next set.I didn’t have the funds to drop $1000+ on active 8inch monitors so I started looking at smaller speakers. The Rockville 5inch caught my eye and found they made 8 inch versions for under $500. I couldn’t figure out why they got my attention (Other than the price point) as I hadn’t even heard them in person or heard of the brand before. I watched these speakers and did 8 months of research (literally started looking up EVERYTHING I could back in June). From how they are made, where they are made, the types of materials put into them, quality control tests the company performs, different vendors that sell their products, countless hours of online videos, cause I couldn’t believe I found a quality active 8 inch monitor for under $500.Finally, (after approval from my wife of course) I made the purchase. Upon receiving them right on time compared to the estimated delivery date, I unboxed them and let them sit inside for 24 hours before I plugged them in. I started the break in process with listening at low volume for 20 hours, then I started increasing the volume. I still haven’t taken them over half volume and my neighbors asked me if I had a full blown PA system in my house.They are CLEAN sounding, they get loud without distorting, and they are nice to look at as well. I have ran music through them, electronic drum kit, I used a DI and a pedal to put my guitar through them and all of it sounds astounding. Warm rich tone that isn’t boomy or too full of bass. Just a nice balance.My only complaint and because I have to nitpick a little. The power switch is on the back which I found mildly inconvenient, they are hooked up to a surge protector/power conditioner now so I don’t have to reach behind them to shut them off or turn them on anymore.

So far they sound great as speakers but I just got them hooked up (using RCAs till I get my interface in) and they're making this awful hissing sound. Any time I click or hover the mouse over anything the static picks up. So it's the weirdest thing I've experienced so far with studio monitors. If anyone has anything that could help me I'd really appreciate it.

These monitors are amazing! To be honest, I didn't expect these to be the best monitors out on the market, being that they are under $200. But man, these things can scream! Anything louder than a third knotch on the volume knob, and my floor starts to vibrate. These punch way above their price point in my opinion. Thanks to Rockville, my I neighbors have a new reason to hate me, and I love every second of it!

These are solid well made monitors, but the monitors I received from the back side are set up different. Mine has a left and right XLR/TRS output, but the jack they sent me has the single TRS to dual 1/4in causing me to get sound from only one speaker from my Presonus Interface. When I called the company to find out what was up, the tech guy did not seem to have a clue that these speakers has changed the way they are set-up. Which gives me concern, all in all they are good speakers. Just seems the company has some work to do on the technical side.
