Smart Amp FAQs

Answers to common questions about installing, managing, and supporting Rockbot Smart Amp™.

  • Can Smart Amp replace my existing amplifier?

    Yes – Smart Amp can fully replace your existing amplifier. It combines a commercial-grade 250W amplifier and built-in BrightSign media player into one secure device, eliminating the need for separate devices.

  • Does Smart Amp work with my speakers?

    Yes – Smart Amp supports most commercial speaker systems, including 70V, 4Ω, and 8Ω configurations. For multi-speaker setups, 70V is recommended, as it provides better coverage, simpler wiring, and more stable performance in larger or distributed spaces. Smart Amp automatically senses speaker load and protects the system from shorts, over-current, over-voltage, and mis-wiring.

  • How many speakers can Smart Amp power?

    Smart Amp can power multiple speakers across large or distributed areas. With 250W of output, it delivers wide coverage while using fewer devices than many traditional amplifier setups.

  • Can the Smart Amp power Rockbot Signage and TV too?

    Yes – the Smart Amp functions as a full media player for Music, Digital Signage, and TV. It enables centralized playback across all media types, making it a unified solution for audio and visual in-location content.

  • What happens if the internet goes down?

    Smart Amp automatically switches to a locally stored, fully-licensed fallback music catalog – ensuring uninterrupted background audio until connectivity is restored.

  • Can I monitor multiple locations remotely?

    Yes – you can monitor and manage multiple locations using the Rockbot Dashboard or mobile app. Smart Amp provides real-time visibility into playback, volume, and device health across all sites.

  • Is Smart Amp secure from on-site tampering?

    Yes – Smart Amp is designed to prevent on-site tampering. Its locked, tamper-proof enclosure has no knobs or dials, keeping your settings secure and consistent.

  • Can the Smart Amp automatically lower music for announcements or paging?

    Yes – Smart Amp includes built-in ducking, which lowers music volume when an external audio source (like a mic or paging system) is active. Settings can be easily customized from your Rockbot dashboard.
