Introduction

The Rockville One-Tower is an all-in-one device that can provide fantastic sound from any source throughout a space. This elegant tower speaker can be placed in a room’s side or corner without taking up important real estate. We refer to this as the “ONE-TOWER” because it has a single speaker for all of your requirements. Music can be streamed using the built-in Bluetooth from your smartphone, an Echo device, or any other Bluetooth source. All of your tunes stored on a USB drive can be played back using the USB input. You can output the sound from your television to the speaker using the optical input. Any contemporary TV can be easily connected using the HDMI (ARC) input. Additionally, there is an RCA input for connecting to  different audio sources. With its 100 watts of pure, balanced power, this speaker can fill a large space. There is no discernible distortion at maximum loudness. The back port offers a terrific thud and the bass hits very low frequencies. This product has a pretty good sound signature you will enjoy without feeling any ear fatigue, and the highs and mids are clear and balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can i add the 12-inch Rockville subwoofer to this? No. There is no output jack to support an external woofer. There is only a rca jack for input from an external device like a computer.
  • If you have a playlist on a thumb drive can you listen to it thru the USB port? Yes. Works for me.
  • I just ordered this after having to return one from another manufacturer. I hope I’m not disappointed again?. I’ve never seen one of those towers I bought the smaller one which is okay doesn’t have any adjustments for bass treble or anything like that the woofer overpowers the other speakers when you buy something online it’s just like a box of chocolates you don’t know what you’re going to get.
  • Sweet speaker AAA?Yes, I absolutely love it!! Great sound
  • How do I control the speaker with my tv remote? I don’t believe that’s possible. Other than paring Bluetooth to your tv, volume and input control must be done with the Rockville remote.
  • Can two be paired in different locations in a room?I believe you can pair two. But I returned the speaker. It had horrible sound quality.
  • I have four dashes flashing on the display when turned off. Does that indicate an error and how can it be turned off? I own two of these towers, as well as their higher-end two-tower system with FM. This is normal when they are turned off.
  • How deep is the bass compared to the manufacturing specs? Absolutely NO bass.
  • Are there supposed to be four flashing lights on the tower when not in use? I’ve been trying to find this out since I purchase the tower and I’m not get No there are not four flashing lights ever. There is one red light when the blue tooth is being used.
