Pyle 4-Channel Audio Amplifier with Bluetooth - Home Stereo Receiver w/ 500W Max Power - Commercial or Karaoke - Dual Mic Input with Echo, Vol, Talk-Over - AUX In - Sub Out - USB-A MP3 Player, AM/FM

This was just what I was looking for. The 4-channel output matched the speaker set-up I pre-wired when I built my office space years ago. I was using a 4-channel speaker selector switch with two prior stereo receivers that eventually died. Tremendous feature set for the price and the unit is a very solid substantial piece of gear. The Bluetooth (a game changer compared to the old equipment) was easy to pair with my iPhone. I the FM radio section was surprisingly sensitive and picked up many stations with the included basic mono-wire antennae. I only listen to one FM station, so fortunately the previously tuned station stays tuned when the input mode changes. The volume could be way louder than my needs and sound quality was fine. One review mentioned, tight, not smooth volume control knobs of channels A B C D. I noticed that on a couple of mine but noticed that the knobs were pushed on a bit too much and contacting the face of the unit. Pulling the knobs outward (as if to remove them) fixed that and the smooth rotation of each knob was realized. I was curious as to the energy used so I measured the watts with a meter. As expected, the watts varied with volume: Plenty loud was around 30w, with ~20w for normal low background music. "Cranked" was close to 100w and probably unpleasant for most. A more energy efficient replacement in my situation.

For this price, one gets a lot more than you think. The quality of this unit is so high that you can’t even imagine. Pictures do not to do it justice.

I have owned two of these in the past five years. We kept them in our fully covered, weatherproof patio cabinet behind an LCD TV. We used them only a few times a year to power some patio speakers. I installed a cooling fan on them to keep them from overheating. The first one lasted three years. The second one lasted less than two years (now it just feeds a loud electronic noise). The TV, facing the patio, is still going strong, as are the speakers open to the external air. The Wiims unit is still working fine. The cameras work fine. Only these Pyle amps stop working.I have given up on these and will search for another 4-Channel Audio Amplifier with Bluetooth and AUX.

Bought this to replace another amplifier that I had been using to power outdoor speakers for my pool and patio area. I liked that this was a simple amplifier as I didn't need multi-channel Dolby Atmos to play music and TV audio for my backyard.Overall, it will serve, particularly for this price, but it does have some limitations.Stereo - First, it's quite true as other have noted - this doesn't not send out a stereo signal. I specifically tested with sources that pan between left and right channels. The same sound came out of both speakers, even when the source was coming from only one side. While this is good enough for my needs, it is definitely misleading on the part of Pyle to indicate that this is a stereo amplifier. At least is seems to blend the left and right together into a common mono output, as opposed to just ignoring one of the channels completely.Bluetooth - The bluetooth function connects, but requires excessive hand holding. The bluetooth connection is pretty much the only one I was interested in as my patio TV has a bluetooth output and I was using a small bluetooth receiver with my old amplifier to send the signal. This new unit will connect and receive...but it won't remember the input setting. The manual indicates that you have to select MODE a couple of time to get back to bluetooth as it defaults to one of the other inputs when it powers up. I ended up using the other bluetooth transmitter hooked up to one of the line inputs on the receiver as I did with the old unit. So, the bluetooth function built into this unit proved largely useless to me.Power - I expected, having to only drive two channels and it being able to drive up to four pairs of speakers, that the two sets of speakers would not have any issues. Again, this proved to not be the case. With two sets of speakers running, I've had to turn the master volume all the way up, as well as the volumes knobs for the two sets of speakers that I've hooked up. The sound is adequate, but not nearly as loud as I would have expected given the rated power of the unit. When I first tested it with a single set of speakers, it did seem suitably loud. However in my final configuration it doesn't put out the kind of power I would have expected. I can't imagine trying to actually drive four pairs of speakers with this.On the positive side, the power button is a physical switch. I was able to plug it into an Alexa smart plug so I can power the unit on or off with a voice command. I prefer this as the unit is outdoors under a covered patio and the smart plug allows me to keep the amplifier from seeing any power when I'm not using it.Ultimately, it will do what I need it to do well enough. At this price point it was a reasonable deal.

Unreal sound and features, especially for the price. Highly satisfied. To have EIGHT speaker outputs PLUS, SUB-out is awesome. The fact it also comes with CD, DVD, inputs + REC & SUB outputs is incredible! To top it off, ability to plug in TWO microphones and karaoke over any of the options takes it to another level. Each Mic has its own volume control, echo knob included and Bluetooth audio as well as wired AUX/MP3 inputs. I have 6-speakers hooked up with a sub running from the receiver/amp to 6-10” mid/tweet combos in faux rock speakers oitside around pond, along with 12” powered sub box and it sounds absolutely incredible across my entire backyard. I was originally going to add 2-more speaker, but really no need, the power is plenty and can be easily heard across at least 1 out of 5acres. I say “at least” because I haven’t actually gone further, but I’m certain it’ll be very clear, especially because I’m only at half volume as far out as I already tested.It’s got it all plus a remote that works from at least 50-feet OUTSIDE, while receiver itself is INSIDE. COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH PURCHASE.

Love it! It's very loud!! :) I was looking for a bluetooth amplifier where I could utilize my old analog speakers500 watts is plenty of power for the 6 analog speakers I have connected on 3 separate floors. I use each of the 4 channels to control volumes on each floor of my house and I can still add 2 more speakers :)The bluetooth connection works fine for my Apple Music and SiriusXM. The USB port on the front is also great for playing MP3's stored on a USB stick. I also connect the audio for my TV via a cable.This is an excellent, affordable and very powerful bluetooth amplifier if you want to utilize analog speakers.I find the volume indicators hard to see so I added some green stickers (attached photo).I do find that I need to be on the same floor to maintain bluetooth connectivity from my phone.

This is my second amplifier....... The first one was an experiment you might say . Wasn't what I needed but gave me a better understanding about what it was I actually needed in a amplifier...... I bought this amplifier with hope it was in the neighborhood of what I was in need of. Not only is it exactly what I was looking for......but more than I could have imagined !I only have 2 400w 6.5 bookshelf speakers running on it with 2 more on the way. The sound is phenomenal ! And the bass is very powerful with no weaknesses.......I can't wait to hook up my other 2 speakers for a more extreme experience from this amplifier ! I definitely would recommend this for those who are interested in this type of unit..... I am definitely not disappointed with the choice I made ! 🙂

Was replacing an older unit which delivered beautiful sound. I had high hopes of doing the same. Using PC computer with audio output going into DVD input. This part works beautifully.This unit was extremely easy to hook up and operate. Really did not need the instructions outside of a once-over for expectation. As a basic amp, works fairly well.Three major issues:- Right off, I noticed there is 'no stereo', only mono. There are no L/R channel markings on outputs of A/B/C/D. When we plugged two speakers into the Amp, immediately, both became MONO. You cannot adjust left/right output to best suit your environment. Too, if the sound portrays a sports car moving from right to left, the sound cannot traverse the speakers as one might expected. Instead, its only a frontal sound the entire time. This is probably my single largest complaint!- The BT antenna came pulled off, had to gently re-attach. Don't know how this happens because the unit was well protected in packaging.- The FM Antenna is a tiny piece of wire that connects only to the center terminal. Very weak design, nearly embarrassing to have such a nice looking Amp and then sporting an insignificant wire for a weak antenna.- Lastly, we do receive at least 12 clear radio stations near my home. However, on this Amp, we receive zero. Only static. Can't tune a single station. FM is one of the reasons I purchased this unit, this makes it the 2nd worst issue for us.I recommend this unit as a basic amp but if you are looking for Stereo sound, L/R speaker output capability and/or FM stereo reception, I must suggest you look elsewhere.We will most definitely be replacing the unit with something more functional.

Es una excelente relación precio-calidad, tiene muy buenos rangos de sonido, tanto en graves como agudos. En verdad lo recomiendo, ya que lo conecté a 6 bocinas tetraxiales de 400 watts cada una y me sorprendió la calidad de su sonido y en particular los graves que no retumban pero sonaron muy bien valenciano.Se los recomiendo ampliamente.

Finally my Pioneer speakers work perfectly with this PTA44BT amplifier. The delivery is very fast!!! Thanks a lot!

I bought this for my 4 ceiling speakers. no issues so far, works perfectly. Sounds great. Highly recommended

This amp is really good has many great features and delivers a lot of power perfect for a restaurant or cafe.

Due to some defect like channel knob also prodect is heated in short play so I requested to return back and make my refund in my account. Pay latter thanks
