Bluetooth HD Home Audio Amplifier Receiver Stereo 300W Dual Channel Sound Audio System, MP3, USB, SD, AUX, RCA, MIC, Headphone, FM, LED, Reverb Delay, for Home Theater Speakers, Studio - PDA99BU

I went hunting for a compact amplifier that could give the lounge room a bit more punch without dragging out the hefty separates my father insists on keeping in the loft. This tiny Pyle box now lives under the telly, looking perfectly at home beside the Sky recorder, and I barely notice it until I reach for the volume. On paper it delivers 35 watts a channel into eight ohm speakers and can briefly peak at three hundred when the load drops. In real use it feels more muscular than the numbers suggest. Connectivity is generous too, with two HDMI inputs and one output, optical and coaxial digital, a pair of RCA line ins, USB, an SD card slot, Bluetooth that stays solid to about thirteen metres, two microphone sockets and even an FM tuner for the old school among us. The front panel display is bright enough to read from the sofa, and, to my pleasant surprise, the remote control works first press. Driving a pair of modest bookshelf speakers the sound is clean and lively. The bass knob provides plenty of low end thump. Bluetooth pairing takes seconds. The microphone inputs keeps me amused on rainy afternoons when I fancy doing some karaoke, although I have to supply wired microphones because there is no built in support for wireless ones. Movie night, karaoke, background radio, whatever I throw at it, this little amplifier outperforms the ageing receiver it replaced and keeps the cabling to a minimum. The casework feels decent enough, yet, considering the sheer number of sockets, the useful DSP effects and the footprint no larger than a paperback, it strikes me as cracking value for anyone who wants an all round home amplifier without turning the lounge into a hi fi showroom.

This little Pyle amplifier has breathed new life into my living-room speakers and, I suspect, irritated the people next door at the same time. Switch it on and you are greeted with a surprising punch, 300 watts at maximum burst, but more importantly about 35 watts of honest-to-goodness RMS per channel into eight-ohm loads. In practice that means it will run two pairs of speakers all afternoon without even warming up. Bluetooth pairs on the first try and the signal holds firm even when my phone stays three rooms away in the kitchen. That alone spares me the usual shuffle back and forth when a playlist begins to skip. Connections are plentiful. Two HDMI inputs with a pass-through for the television, optical and coaxial digital sockets, twin sets of RCA line-ins, slots for USB sticks and SD cards, and a brace of microphone inputs complete with their own reverb and delay controls. The front LED display is clear enough to read from the sofa, and the satisfyingly weighty volume knob lets you set levels with a bit of ceremony. There are also eight built-in DSP effects which, while hardly studio grade, sprinkle enough sparkle over an impromptu karaoke session to turn the sitting room into a small pub. Construction feels solid, the sound stays tidy even at the point where the neighbour’s ceiling light starts to rattle, and the list of features outstrips anything else I have seen near this price point. For the money it is a cracking bit of kit.

I had my system corrected through a small unit that controlled wireless microphones and it handled the balance etc and then from that to a HiFi system, the video output as my karaoke plays videos with lyrics went direct to the TV. Problem being I sometimes got feedback or a hiss, this helped eliminate that as the karaoke video and audio goes into this amp, then the amp to the TV and the audio output I connected to speakers directly. Only thing is I've had to use wired microphones as it doesn't support directly wireless microphones, planning to get some new microphones with the wireless adaptor that can just plug into the audio jack mic inputs which also will then allow me to have 4 microphones as normal each adaptor supports two microphones which will be great for when friends over. Overall very happy with the purchase as sounds much better than my old setup.

Lowest volume setting was very loud. Item was returned as was totally unusable for a living room.

I liked it’s functionality it’s easy to setup and use with clear instructions.can connect multiple devices. It’s even got 2 microphones to connect to if you are into singing, comes with 2 effects .

Wasn't expecting this amplfier to sound as great as it does. Powers my custom built speakers perfectly. Really like the 5.0 Bluetooth capability, may just part with my 200 disc cd player after i load my phone up. This replaced an old sansui unit in my pole barn shop, am actually surprised how crystal clear each fm station is. Wish it had station presets, you can punch in the number after a search. Cranked this for a few hours, didn't get hot. It doesn't have a fan, I guess it doesn't need one. The remote is very simple but effective. Very glad I found this for such an amazing price.

I have only had the unit for about 2 weeks. In the 2 weeks it has worked well and pounds out some good power to my Bose surround. The HDMI inputs and outputs work great. The blue tooth works well. The look is alright also. Over all I'd give it a 9 out of 10. We shall see how long it will last. The only thing missing is a media player. You can't run a hard drive for videos. I bought a small one that runs to HDMI and works good enough.

Great small bluetooth Amp. Even on the lowest volume setting pushes ample sound ti the speakers. Priced right. Main drawback to the system is that there is NO on/off button on the remote.

Ordered the item on August 11, and get it on August 21 , well packed with no damage. Was able to connect speaker easily . Tested radio and it works. Easily to connectusing Bluetooth connection. Didn't check other ports and way it behaves yet.

Very satisfied
