Pyle 500W Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Amplifier - 4 Stereo Channels, Front Panel AUX In, MIC1 and MIC2, RCA In, USB-A, SD/MMC - Discrete Mic Vol with Echo and Talk Over, Sub Out, Rec Out - PT44BT.5

This receiver is not huge. It is very easy to set up and use. The power pushes our speakers to sound great. The price is a plus too. My husband and I would highly recommend the Pyle receiver considering we use it every day.

Great amp. Great company. I love their stuff. Both car and home audio equipment that sounds great and doesn't break the bank.

I've had this for about a week. I'm replacing an older Sony 7.2 surround audio video receiver. The old Sony unit was so complicated that I never really figured it out. So I wanted something simple. So I went from an 80 page manual that I never really figured out to a 5 page manual with almost no instructions. I knew going in that this wasn't going to be a Kenwood or a Onkyo or a Marantz. So I wasn't surprised at "entry-level-ness" quality and function. For the price, it's really not a bad unit if you know what you're getting. Which I didn't. It's called a "Stereo Receiver Amp".. however, IT IS NOT STEREO!!! There were a few reviews that said this, but I guess I didn't read them. So for that reason, this gets a single star. Misrepresentation is a non-starter. OK if you are going in without the expectation of stereo, then I would say this is a good unit for what it is. The remote stinks and is nearly useless. Read the other reviews about that. The way it forces you to switch to BT every time you turn it on stinks. Figuring out how to go through the various modes to get to BT is a little strange the first time because it never tells you what mode to put it in (turns out, it's MP3 mode and not AUX, but the manual doesn't tell you). It doesn't have AM (which I knew before I bought - so I won't hold that against them). I should have known it wasn't stereo when there was no L/R balance option. Another thing is that I wish it had 3 inputs in back instead of 2, but the work around is to run an AUX cable to the front 3.5mm jack. Also, it's hard to see the notches on the knobs so you may end up blowing out your speakers or eardrums when you turn it on and have to go through the FM tuner to get to BT. I was going to get some little white dot stickers to put where the notches are, but at this point I'm going to return the unit. I don't know what I'll get - I'm trying to power my whole-house speaker system - so 6 PAIRS of speakers was perfect. Bottom line, if you can live without stereo, this is not a bad unit. Love the BT. Seems to pair pretty good. I really like a lot about this. It really cranks loud - the sound is 6 on a scale from 0 to 10, but if you're not an audiophile, the a 6 is probably OK for you.

Pros: This can drive my 9.2 Dolby atmos speaker. You can listen your music and movie all day long. So far no issue. Great for the price. By the way this is my second one. My first one just stop working. But Amazon had no issue sending me the replacement. Cons: Volume control. Make sure the control knob turned down to 0 level when you turned off the system or you will hear loud thumb sound. The Volume on remote is set on high when you turn on the system. The control know has no indicator is hard for visual difficulty. Mine I had to put white marks.

Over the last year I decided to replace the super-cheap "stereos" I installed in the garage and work shops and used Pyle receivers throughout. Lots of noise pollution (air compressors, pneumatic tools, electric buffing wheels, etc) and all of the amps performed exceptionally well, even when pushing the volume. The speakers are modest, either Klipsch or Sony. I was so impressed with the receivers that I ordered another originally to keep my mother's Zenith console radio (1960!) working while the original tube chasses are restored. I could buy a bunch more Pyle receivers for what that restoration will cost. I subsequently decided to NOT restore the originals, hid the Pyle in the LARGE console interior and use the remote control. Looks and performs exceptionally well. I'm not sure I believe the power rating for these devices but the previous home owner dropped serious coin installing Bose speakers throughout the house and the amp on the receiver had no problem driving two pairs of Bose speakers 35 feet from the receiver as well as two local Klipsch bookshelf speakers (six speakers total). Absolutely no weak signals, no distortion or clipping. Note the in-wall speaker wires are as thick as an undersea cable. The other nice aspect of these receivers is the board has a fan which cools the decently sized aluminum heat sink. Very good bang for the buck.

I purchased this 6 channel amp/receiver to replace The proprietary amplifier for my 5.1 computer speaker system. Proprietary systems don't normally allow one to replace part, as parts are not available. If the amp stops working, you are expected to throw away the entire system and spend big money to buy a new system. Stupid designs like that enable electronic waste and polluting the environment. After studying my options, I was not going to throw away perfectly good speakers. This Pyle six channel system was a perfect solution. I could modify the way the speakers connected and save a lot of money. This Pyle is powerful and produces good crisp sound. Six channels accommodate 5.1 speakers with room left for more. Each channel has it's own volume plus there is a master volume. Operation of the various controls is intuitive. One year warranty is standard. However, upon registration, my warranty became three years. I am happy with this reasonably priced amp.

READ ME. This Pyle PTA44BT.5 4 ch amp, for the most part is a decent product inside and out. It is a true 4-channel amplifier. Note: everything's mono on the system, but it is a decent little PA. The negative on the speaker outputs are common ground. Use all 8 ohms speakers or higher if you can. I don't recommend using all eight 4 ohm speakers. It would be best to use just four 8 ohm speakers. This amp is not 500 watts My guess is 30-45 Watts X 4 that's my guesstimate. I would have to run a load test with different decibels and different frequency sweeps. 4 ohms ? 8 ohms ?. ??. OK! I really like this amp..I Do, But, I had to fix it before I could honestly test it out. I bought this used and pre-cooked, and someone's been in it before me. The main cause of this problem is, (the system I have was manufactured using the wrong input voltage power supply). Buyer beware!! (if you have this issue?) (You MUST Use A proper step-down transformer or a small Variac) to reduce the voltage by,10-20 volts AC, if not, prepare to be disappointed with your purchase later on, or before it's too late. In most households here in the United States, normal AC voltages average around 116-119 Volts, but no more than 120 Volts AC 60 Hz dual circuit. However you can still run most Electronics and Appliances rated at 110, most switching power supplies regulate the input voltage without a problem and work just fine. AC motors and transformers rated with an input voltage of 110/120 Volts, at higher watts can run hotter, louder and drawn more power, not good for your electric bill either. Who knows till after your Electronics and Appliances fail just because it's receiving 120/110 volts AC Here's the problem off the bat. 116-119 Volts AC goes into my Amp, rated at 110 Volts AC. When this happens, the out put voltage of the power supply, out-put's more than the components inside can handle. The Toroidal transformer of My amp's input voltage is rated for 110-220 Volt, and can handle up-to 120 Volts just fine and does not run hot. The switch on the back of the amp should be set for 110 V, Note: if set for 220 V the voltage is the to low. So what's going on here really? What It Should Be: If the manufacturer used a rated 120 Volt 60 Hz Toroidal transformer the out-put voltage would be around 24 Volts AC X-2. Power Consumption may draw around 1-1.3 amps just a guess though. What The Problem Is: 116-119 Volts AC is going into a rated 110 Volt ?? Hz Toroidal transformer, out-putting too much power and damaging components in the circuit. Technical Geek Stuff and other info: Testing my amp: Again rated for 110 Volts AC and is receiving 119.2 Volt. The output of the transformer is showing 26.03 x 2 and 52.06 AC across. 2 bridge rectifiers parallel, cool to the touch. 4 filter caps 35 Volts 3300 uF each. in groups of two X two parallel. making 35 Volts 6600 uF X 2 yielding a voltage of 35.4 volts per-side, Volts plus, neutral, and Volts minus. This has a balanced DC power supply in it, with a load of cooking resisters and hot relays, and voltage regulators. The transformer does have some good current but the amp should only use what it needs for current. I bought this amp used, through Amazon, and someone else before me tried to fix the problem, but the repair was far from correct. Just a barely stable repair. Most of the main resistors were hot to the touch, even the four relay switches were very warm and the resistors the sit between the relays were tanned. Who ever tried to fix my amp, used an over sized resister that was still too hot. None of the original resistors except for 1 are even the type that are supposed to get hot at all. Who ever tried to fix my amp just wanted it out the door so they could sell it. There was a loose screw rattling around in the case. I found that it went to the V reg and heatsink. The circuit board has really thin traces, some sections of the board were so bad I had to make jumpers, nothing left to solder to. Since then I've replaced most of the large resistors, with Parts I've saved from the 70s 80s and 90s with lower value and higher wattage resistors. I relocated the voltage regulator to the flat part of the amplifiers heatsink. For testing, I used a Variac to determine the best voltage to power the amps transformer. For now, until I fix the amp with more suitable parts to compensate the voltage problem, I use a 5 amp Japanese Step Down Transformer which I find very useful with a lot of other cheaply-made things rated at 110 that can't handle 120. Oh and yeah I want to replace the power cord, because it stinks and I don't trust the insulation inside of it, too soft and known for splitting inside.

Lots of power, very limited EQ, but sounds good for being a mono Soundsystem. Doesn't distort at high volume provided you balance the out puts for optimal quality and not just volume. Bluetooth connection is extremely strong. Great amp for a garage system
