Gearank Recommendation

The RPM1870 appeared on our recommended list for Powered Mixers Under $500 for 2 editions from December 2020 until October 2022.

Overview

The Rockville RPM 1870 is an 18-channel console format powered mixer with USB input and Bluetooth.

One of the primary goals established by Rockville was clear sound with XDR2 Mic preamps (similar to those used by Mackie).

Each channel has an AUX send and return for inserts as well as 16 built-in 24-bit effects.

If you want a portable console-style powered mixer with enough inputs for a full band or choir section, the RPM1870 is a good choice.
