PDA6BU

We had a horrible storm that had lighting strike very close to our property that fried out a lot of electronics as well as the internet line and even some electrical circuits, not good! One of the many casualties was our Sony Mini stereo receiver that was driving our out door JBL speakers on the patio facing the pool (wired through the wall, into the attic, and over the patio to the speakers). After careful research, we settled on the Pyle PDA6BU due to its small size nearly matching the Sony compact system and its stated power output. Great pluses were its Bluetooth connectivity, capability to connect to microphones as a PA, and banana plug receptors in the back for a cleaner, quicker connection to out door or even indoor speakers. On connecting, I was able to quickly get up on Bluetooth and the front AUX input to test output through the 8 ohm outdoor JBL speakers rated at 100 watts each. The Pyle PDA6BU cleanly powered the speakers. I pushed them to about 80% volume on the knob (Moto G6 phone volume set to max). I ran a variety of styles of music and heard zero distortion, unlike the Sony compact stereo that I had rigged to the JBLs some years ago. Also, because our Bose Cinemate II home theater also got fried (sent to the repair facility, BTW), we also hooked up our previously unused small Sony Compact stereo speakers to the system to place behind (you guessed it) a new flat screen replacing our fried Sharp Aquos. The Pyle PDA6BU of course easily drives those small speakers while we patiently wait for our Bose to return. Of course, the Pyle PDA6BU is not surround sound, but neither is our new flat screen, and the Bose for that matter only faked it. Overall, the Pyle PDA6BU is a superb buy for the paltry price of $63.14 through Jeff Bezos. I only wish that the stereo volume could be controlled remotely. The remote is tiny item that only controls the Bluetooth (BT) volume UNDER the master volume. So if you have the volume knob set to 10%, then you can at best only get 10% volume with the BT volume maxed out, obviously lesser if you reduce. We have not yet tried the microphones, but we will soon and update (maybe with a pool gathering). This is an EXCELLENT buy and value, and it looks great on our entertainment center.

I'm converting all my CDs to MP3s and I was looking for a cheap MP3 player for my home stereo. I did a search looking for a cheap MP3 player and I came across theis Pyle Unit. I noticed it had a audio out jack in the back so I could hook it up to my home stereo. When I bought it I thought it was going to be a piece of poo but it offered Bluetooth and had a MP3 player built in. I got my package from Amazon and I thought this had weight for being a cheap player/receiver. Opened the Box and I was amazed at the quality of this unit.It was impressive looking and heavy duty quality. Like I said I was just looking for a cheap MP3 Player and I was going to hook it up through the output jack to my home stereo. Just so happens I had a cheap pair of speaks laying around so I decided to test it with them. That was a mistake. When I plugged them in and played some MP3s the sound was INCREDIBLE. Now I have 4 different receivers I've played these MP3 on through different devices. None of those sounded as good. So I decide to test out the Bluetooth streaming from my PC to the unit. It connected very easily and the Sound quality was equally amazing and played it music for 8 hours without a drop in the stream. Now I'm stuck. I plugged the unit into my other receiver and tried it out as just a MP3/Bluetooth Player. Sadly the sound from my old receiver doesn't have the incredible sound the Pyle Receiver had by itself. Now I'm in a dilemma. I want to buy 3 New PYLE receivers to replace my old receivers. Here is my Recommendation on the this unit. DON"T let the price fool you this a GREAT RECEIVER with incredible sound. Don't hesitate if your looking for a cheap priced High Quality Receiver. I'm Very pleased with my purchase and now I want to buy more of Pyle Receivers

I am the DJ for my wife's Mary Kay business group. After years of making do with low-power (under 100 Watts) amplifiers, I took a chance on this 200-Watt amplifier to power the music I play for them, and the wireless mics used for speaking. Connected to my Bose 301 bookshelf speakers, rated at 150 W, the Pyle amplifier provided more than enough power for the 50' x 50' room filled with 75 women. I was impressed with the loudness, limiting the volume to about 40% to avoid discomfort to anybody, including me, and to avoid the possibility of over-powering my speakers. Most of the time, I had the volume for my Pyle wireless mics at 30-35%. From a purely-power standpoint, the Pyle amp did great! Also love its small footprint and relative low-weight. Its small size is indicative of very little wasted space...a very good thing! Normally I plug the wireless mic receiver into my mixer, but tried the amp's mic input to see how it sounded. Compared to my mixer input, the amp's mic input sounded rather tinny, even with adjusting the bass/treble. I really haven't had much time to play with the amp. My primary concern was power for the music. I received it about four days before the Beach Retreat, its primary use. I hooked it up to my TV at home in place of my Kenwood 65-watt stereo. As soon as I powered on, I could hear the difference! The input selector knob is quite stiff to turn, but did its job. Have not played with the Bluetooth yet, or the remote. I wish the unit had more than two sets of RCA inputs on the back, but that's small stuff. The rest of my setup includes using iTunes on my laptop, running through a simple 4-channel Realistic mixer, which connects to the CD input on the amp. I used my desktop computer for the slideshow and videos. The video sound was connected to the DVD input on the amp. This Pyle amplifier is not my first Pyle product. I started with a set of Pyle two-way speakers for my old Nissan truck several years ago. Rated at 120 watts, they sound great! As part of my growing DJ gear ensemble, I purchased a Pyle lapel mic to be used by the Mary Kay Directors at their events. Sadly, the lapel mic was not very durable. BUT...the Pyle Handheld 2-Mic Wireless System I bought next works beautifully! An event over the summer took place at the Dallas Hyatt Regency hotel. I used my Pyle wireless mic system, and had a wired mic as backup, provided by the hotel Audio Dept. When we tested the Pyle wireless mic against the wired mic, the Pyle wireless mic blew it away! We were all surprised the wired mic sounded so crappy compared to the wireless. The wired mic, by the way, was professional studio-grade. A wonderful side benefit of the Pyle wireless mics is their light weight. I had never heard of the Pyle brand before I bought my truck speakers several years ago. With subsequent purchases of audio equipment, I am becoming a believer in the Pyle brand. Very good quality at a reasonable price. As mentioned, I have not played with all the features of the amplifier as of this writing; hence, four stars instead of five. There is always room for improvement :) FYI - I am a 30-yr Computer Professional, and Audio/Video buff on the side, so I know what I'm doing.

I bought this unit to go with a couple Polk Audio Atrium 6 outdoor speakers along with 14ga speaker wire. The Initial bluetooth paring was seamless which was initially a good sign. The initial sound was great when testing out the first connection before mounting it. I took my phone 15 ft away from the receiver to check the bluetooth and the music would stutter and glitch in/out even with direct line of site from my phone to the Bluetooth antenna. I figured that there may be some nearby interference so I left my phone next to this unit while I continued with the install as one can buy a bluetooth extender to plug into the extra audio input methods for the bluetooth issue. I got one speaker hooked up in place and all sounded more or less great when I re-tested it out with my phone next to the unit. I then wired the second speaker and tested it as well and the second speaker had some fuzzy sounds to it no matter what. I rechecked all the connections and all were secure. I swapped which speaker went to which speaker connection and the second connection regardless of speaker was fuzzy. I swapped around to test out if the speaker or wires were the issue and connection 1 regardless sounded ok. I then rechecked the wired path of the audio connections to make sure I was far away from any power cables and adjusted as needed to make sure. I then played with the volume vs balance vs base vs treble and no matter what, the second connection was fuzzy. I let it play for about an hr while I ate lunch inside and came back out to both speakers being fuzzy. I tried some smaller speakers from by old boom box and they too sounded fuzzy. I had high hopes but there is something internal of the unit that was off from the start and progressively got worse over literally a couple hrs. I repacked everything to as received and will be returning this unit for something else.

I was about to give my old Bose 301 speakers to Goodwill, when i thought to myself "Self: there are no tunes in the barn, either in my workshop or for the horses" Streaming bluetooth from my iPhone won't cut it since the range is all of 30 feet or so. I set my iPhone on the workbench and we all know that doesn't end well. Need to get a cheap receiver that will drive these speakers OK. Be nice to have my favorite FM stations playing whenever I want, even if I'm not close by. Be extra sweet to stream from my iPhone ion I wanna too. So I mounted the Bose 301's on the wall while waiting the 2 days for this Pyle Amp/Receiver to come. I didn't expect much for $60 bucks. It came in 2 days. Installed easily, but ran into a classic quandary these days. The Chinese to English instructions were very lacking. What the heck do you need instructions for your saying? Its all digital FM, so you need to search for the channels you will have available BEFORE you can really do anything. Then it simply will cycle thru them in order of find. either with the know, or the remote. Once you figure that out, I was literally blown away with the sound. Oh yes do they drive those old Bose 301's. I was afraid they would shake off the wall. The Bluetooth was easy to set up and pair with my iPhone so you can stream all your music (within bluetooth range that is). I have a couple old iPhones. I'm gonna fill one with music and leave it in the barn, but have my FM tunes as well. Parting thoughts: Only time will tell if this holds up, but not much to go wrong with a digital receiver. We will see if below zero temps in winter slow it down. It does me. I see why this unit gets such good reviews. If your in an area of poor FM reception, this may not be for you. In northern OH I picked up 40 FM stations. I can't figure out any presets, but I only listen to a few anyway. NO AM stations, so be aware of that. FM receiver only, with Bluetooth streaming from your own device and a USB and memory card slot for MP3's

I decided to wait a month before posting my review on this seeing there were a fair amount of mixed reviews. I purchased this from Amazon Warehouse Deals and it did come in the original packaging and I couldn't find anything physically wrong with it. Looked brand new. I use it with our home gym in our basement for both tv and music. I have it paired with an old set of Sony SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers. I also have an old powered Kenwood sub hooked to one of the line output jacks. Works just fine but you have to remember to set your sub to only process the low frequencies. Many powered subs have a switch on the back to do just that. It is plenty loud and fills the basement quite well at less that 1/4 of the way up. Happy with the sound quality so far as well but that has just as much to do with the speakers used as the receiver. Bluetooth seems to work well with my phone and I've never lost a connection. Pairing was a breeze. I have used an SD Card. That works well too once you figure how to maneuver the directories. Refer to the manual for help on this if you need to. The remote seems to do what is is supposed to do. No issues there either. All in all, I am very happy. It does what I need it to do and I give it 5 stars due to the functionality and cost. It suits my needs perfectly. Would I want it for my main home theater? No, but for the basement gym it is perfect.

I bought this amp to power some outdoor speakers I installed on my deck. I chose this particular model because it had the features I wanted, like tone control, Bluetooth, among other. Keep in mind, I used this amp in an outdoor environment with outdoor speakers and I'm basing my review on the results I got in that environment. Bluetooth connectivity: Bluetooth was intended to be my primary method of connection while using this amp. Unfortunately, I discovered the Bluetooth connectivity was very unrealiable. I have a 16'x16' deck and while utilizing the Bluetooth connection on my latest generation iPhone, the connection would keep dropping and reconnecting, causing a disruption in my music and a loud beeping sound. Mind you, I didn't have anything between my phone and the amp that would interfere with the signal like a metal chair or anything like that. The Bluetooth on this amp is just weak and should be able to cover twice the square footage of my deck, but doesn't even successfully cover half of it. Sound quality: Overall, the sound quality was good, not great. I had the amp hooked up to some Definitive Technology AW6500s. Def Tech is known for their quality products, and having that in mind, I chalked the less than impressive sound quality to the amp, not the speakers themselves. While the amp was more than capable of powering the speakers to get full productive sound, the quality wasn't there. I was missing some of the mid range and high end nuances I'm used to enjoying. Features: The list of features on this amp are great. It has an AM/FM receiver on to top multiple ways to plug in and enjoy music. The microphone inputs would allow for a good karaoke setup. The best features are the tone control, though. Many amps at this price point do not allow for proper tone control. The unit is built well and is very sturdy. The contacts on the rear of the unit are plastic and I could see how prolonged use could wear those out. Overall, the amp is packed full of features and is a good value. For me though, the spotty Bluetooth connectivity was a deal breaker since it was my primary intended method of connection. I ended up returning it for a refund.

I got this product used like new condition, almost half the price and worth every penny honesty. Like it'd suck if it burned out but for $30~ it's gotten it's use. If you can get it through Amazon warehouse, in like new condition, DO IT. ONLY if your in the market for power range given, because you'll get a good price and finding the next better would just be 4x as much. So if it doesn't end up working, more unlikely, Amazon has always been helpful in regards to back up the guarantee and form it around personal needs. But the thing was really like brand new, everything was still wrapped up nice, and connecting to it isn't a problem with its options. I'm powering two Frankenstein 80s era 3ways each rated for 100w and a 10in 120w powered sub. I can go halfway on main volume and its loud. The sub is only at half volume. No gauge but def over 90db. Like up front of small venue club. Need ear plugs if were to go higher or keep at half, from Bluetooth source at full volume and receiver internal bluetooth[use remote] at 20/30 If using Bluetooth mode turn down volume using remote to no higher than 25 and then use main volume knob to adjust volume. If not it may get distorted or be too loud for barely moving the knob from 0. So start low then turn up to gradually find sweet spot. As a plug and play system, well you need to hook up speakers to proper terminals and make sure all volumes are down from all sources before playing anything, its fairly easy and can give the power. I have no accurate testing to see if power ratings are true, but with my ear and knowledge of other reputable similar products, it checks out good. Sound quality is great after turning up treble half from 0 and bass varies. But I'm using old speakers so that could factor a degraded sound but it still sounds good also not much interference sounds from product itself. All varies on equipment ends but as a unit itself, again can't beat the deal fore mentioned.

Very good,clear sound, It works smoothly with my old Sony RV222 speakers.

bonjour ça ne respire pas la qualité,une voie qui ne fonctionne pas ,obligé de refaire les soudures sur le circuit intégré TDA7323 qui ne developpe pas 200W mais un 35W RMS,le connecteur sur le rail d'alimentation qui est mal soudé;les vis sur le capot qui tournent dans le vide et un soucis de masse qd on touche le boitier un point positif ,c'est que c'est une alimentation avec un transformateur torique de type symétrique

Por el precio muy buen ampli, levanta mis bocinas de torre sin ningún problema. La equalizacion con potenciómetros es mucho mejor q los ajustes digitales de otros amplis, permite un ajuste fino de bajos, agudos y volumen de los micrófonos. La entrada de micrófonos funciona excelente, gran calidad de audio y muy buen control de volumen y ecos. Recomendado si quieren algo, bueno, bonito y barato.

Excelente calidad, muy versatil en las aplicaciones y facil de conectar portencia mas q suficiente

Se escucha muy bien. Tiene un mejor volumen.
