Seems very good!

My prior EQ has been on onr stereo unit of mine or another for 40 years! A few years ago, it started giving me problems and I bought another EQ which really let me down to the point where even though the old one was flaky, I connected it back to my stereo. But it was time to say goodbye. I purchased this one and got it the other day. I like having all the bands to shape the sound as you desire and also the fact that you can control each speaker separately with two separate bound waves. The blue lights are cool looking but I would admit that would be nice to be able to dim them or shut them off, as they are staring back at me and are very, very bright! But it sounds good. I didn't think an EQ made that much difference on the sound as far as the unit itself, but after buying the other one that I pulled back out of the system, I found out that it does! I've only had it a couple days - but so far, so good. Hopefully, I will get many years of use out of it. I would love to purchase a fully remote control unit one day if they have them. But other than that, it seems like a really good unit at a very fair price!

I wouldn't buy if I were you.

It has a display of bands that are supposed to represent what's actually happening with the music. However, there's the same pattern of display for any music. It doesn't change. Oh, it does go up and down but it's only based on level. Not frequency. Don't do it.! It's fake. Rockville should be ashamed of themselves. Any basic electronics knowledge is all it takes to understand that this is doing very little. I would say that functionality is minimal. Kids might enjoy this. The brightness is OK. Nice pretty colors if you like blue and blue.

For $58 come on buy it!

The media could not be loaded. After I bought this I read some of the reviews and I was like well save all the packaging cause we’ll probably be sending it back. Well I don’t know what everyone is complaining about. It works as an equalizer and does just what I wanted it to do. I subtracted one star because the led level lights do not actually follow the frequency levels. It’s more show than go. But the bottom line is……..IT WAS $58!!!! What the hell do you want?????

Great Little EQ… But It Needs A Remote Badly…

Nice and inexpensive equalizer with bright blue LEDs which match my setup so I was happy… The meter is a bit strange. Looks like a Frequency Analyzer but it isnt… the slightly more expensive version has an analyzer which I would have purchased had I known it existed but considering how badly its advertised on this site its a wonder I found it at all… So … Its nice eye candy and has some EQ uses but would have been so much more effective with a remote for all the separate inputs the unit has, though I did find a way to route it through the line in/out on my modern Yamaha Receiver so I can use it to modify all aspects of the sound in my system… You get a lot for the small cost, but I would have paid more if, again, it had a remote like all my other components do…

so far I like it....no reason not to

This particular EQ is available in aluminum or black color and I chose aluminum. I already had Rockville speakers and a brand name cd player and the speakers have three settings for bass and three settings for treble but no mid range to balance out the sound where it isn't too much of one or the other and with an EQ I can adapt any cd to the way I think it should be mixed. There are several options including using it with dvd, tuner, aux/mp3 and tape. When you first turn it on it automatically starts with mp3 which is what I want for cd, all the levers have light emitting diodes that light up a bright blue which looks very cool and the display has a meter that fluctuates depending on whether there is more bass, treble or somewhere in between in the song. Another reviewer mentioned about how light the EQ is and the technical specifications show that it is 3lbs. which in relation to a Pioneer GR-777 EQ that I used in the 1990s was 8.9lbs. The weight of the product doesn't necessarily reflect how well an EQ will function and really you would have to make comparisons between a number of EQs involving weight, brand, functionality, cost and year produced and what the EQ was going to used for primarily whether it be commercial use such as mixing and dj or home use with a lower output stereo system. The Pioneer EQ was produced 30 years ago and cost upwards of $200 and the Rockville EQ is a 2019 and costs roughly $65. So it all comes down to if you want a light duty or a heavy duty EQ and if you feel you need a heavier EQ or a more costly EQ and they are available and so is the Pioneer GR-777 which you can find used on Ebay. To summarize I have a $200 pair of speakers, a $130 cd player and a $65 EQ and a system that rocks as loud and balanced as a $1,000 system that I once had. Hope this review helped.
