Rockville Home Matrix 4 600W Multi Room Receiver/Amplifier, 8-Channel (4 Zones), Bluetooth, USB, Optical, Coaxial, RCA, Mic Inputs

The media could not be loaded. Edit: Added a video of my in-ceiling speakers being driven by this amp. No distortion, no buzzing, it is loud and clear. I really don't know what these other reviews are talking about. They must no know how to install a sound system.First it is an amazing multi-zone amplifier for the price. Secondly the level of flexible is unmatched for most multi-zone amplifiers at any price. Believe me, I searched high and low to find something this good at a great price. This is the real dealSecondly it is not perfect. Why: The bluetooth connection has limited range like most bluetooth connections. I have yet to find a bluetooth amp at any price the offers great connectivity with good to great sound. So I knew before even purchasing this amplifier that the bluetooth would be unusable. Any one who has a little bit of understanding of wireless audio should have known that prior to purchase.So what the solution??: Wiim Pro Streaming device ($150.00) connected to the Rockville via either analog or digital input. Bam: Now you have a great system for under $500.00Amazing system with in-ceiling speakers with this Rockville amp is almost impossible to beat at almost any price.Don't listen to people who don't know how to put together an audio system and complain about it short-comings. It is simply to put together and offers great value.

easy setup. Works great. Worth the money.

I set this up as a whole house stereo unit, splitting the house into 3 zones, with those 3 zones able to have different items playing on them at the same time. I also bought a microphone set and plugged that in as well so my wife can use one of the microphones to call me for lunch or dinner (well for any reason, its a big house!) and the microphone will override whatever is playing at that moment in any/all zones. The range of the microphones is great, covers the whole house. The range of the bluetooth connection is really line of sight only, so thats a little disappointing but otherwise this is a great unit, especially for the cost (I was comparing against other units 2 or 3 times as expensive). I would buy again but it would be great for future buyers if the bluetooth range was enhanced. Thank you

This has to be in a cabinet or something to keep the fan noise level down otherwise it ruins the sound. Also, like everyone else says, the bluetooth stinks and there is a super loud clicking noise everytime the BT signals gets weak and then strong again. Due to the noise, I don't think I would buy again.

I purchased this unit to replace an increasingly unreliable multi-room music streaming service and the overly invasive devices required to use said service. I am completely satisfied with the quality of sound and features, especially having line level outputs for each zone as well as regular speaker connections. Individual controls for each zone allows me to balance the zones volume while the main volume handles all zones with equal volume control and mute. I also like the remote control with individual and main volume. Using for my outdoor sound system, line outputs to small 2.1 channel amps with klipche subs and outdoor speakers for the more remote areas. One zone having 2-250' rg-6 coax with no problem. Small amount of ground loop hum in standby but powerful sound with no noticeable echo.I definitely recommend Rockville products as they do not disappoint.This unit is quite heavy so use caution when lifting.

I had big hopes for this unit. I got it all set up and zone 3 right side would not work. Tested speakers- speakers were all fine, the unit was broken. Replaced with another brand new unit. Unit was missing screws out of the box, rattled as parts must have been broken inside. Plugged in the unit and it would not even power up. Two attempts and two failures. Don't bother- look elsewhere.

Had the unit set up for 1 1/2 weeks and it worked great. Then Bluetooth connectivity stopped functioning. I worked through Rockville who had great customer service, but with shipping times, setup and use for a couple of weeks, I was told I was outside the return window. They said they would do a refund anyway which was great, but what I really want is a functioning unit. Rockville doesn’t have any or any comparable in stock. My only option is to go back to Amazon who has raised the price about $70 in a month which is very disappointing. Now in addition to the time spent on set up, taking it back down and returning it, I have to pay more money to get the same unit and do it all again.

EASY TO OPERATE AND SOUNDS GREAT IN EVERY ZONE.
