Step 1: Unbox and Record
Each Smart Amp package includes:
- 1x Rockbot Smart Amp
- 1x microSD card
- 2x Rack mounting ears with screws
- 4x Rubber feet with screws/washers
- 1x 5 ft NEMA 5-15P to IEC C13 power cord
- 2x Wi-Fi antennas (Wi-Fi models only)
Note: Do not connect to power until directed to do so, and be sure to record or photograph the serial number before proceeding.
Step 2: Choose Placement
- For shelf placement, install rubber feet on the bottom.
- For rack mounting, attach rack ears (1U height required).
Step 3: Connect Speakers
- Strip 0.25” (no more than 0.30”) of insulation from each speaker wire.
- Insert wires into the Phoenix terminal block and tighten screws. Do not overtighten.
- Reinsert Phoenix terminals into the Smart Amp if removed.
The Smart Amp will automatically detect the type of connected speakers when powered on.
Step 4: Network Connection
- Plug your Ethernet cable directly into the RJ45 port.
- For Wi-Fi models, install antennas hand-tight only.
An active internet connection is required and must meet Rockbot’s network requirements.
Step 5: Power Connection
- Plug the power cord into the device and a wall outlet.
- Use the rear power switch to turn on the Smart Amp.
Step 6: Link to Rockbot
- Navigate to setup.rockbot.com, and ensure you are not logged in. Logout is located at the top right corner of the page.
- Enter the serial number (located on the bottom side of the Rockbot device), to locate your Zone for setup.
- Choose Start WiFi Player Setup or Start Wired Player Setup. Then follow the prompts, clicking on the right arrow (>) to advance to the next steps.
- Once connected, you will receive confirmation that the device is connected.
The Player may take up to 10 minutes to start, at which point you should hear music.
