Pyle PTA42BT Wireless Karaoke Bluetooth Stereo Receiver - 4 Channel Power Amplifier w/USB,2 Microphone Input w/ Echo,Talkover for PA Great for Home Speaker System,Black

Got this to replace a dinosaur older receiver. The compact size & portability being a huge selling point. Never had any dealings w/ Pyle b4 but I was told they make good products. So for the price its really the only way to go for functionality & integration. I have plugged a laptop & My RodecasterPRO & use it as a Marshall amp indirect monitor & it holds up great! had some probs w/ the 1st unit they sent out but as soon as I reported it Pyle had another one in the mail b4 I could get the other one returned & its just a great purchase, Its very easy to setup & connect to various outputs.The cons are really few but kinda big. First, the remote is useless for most everything but unfortunately necessary if u use the radio function as the unit has poorly thought out tuner controls. Not even a universal will really work w/ as it doesnt have a motorized volume. And if your using an aux device of any kind, forget the unit remote for anything including volume. There's also no independent subwoofer level control which is mildly irritating. Oh, and the last thing is there were no instructions of any kind included so if your not familiar w/ the basic controls this unit has then you better get on YT cuz Pyle assumes.These things for Me personally were biggies & had I known I mightve purchased a diff unit tht had those qualities but Im not disappointed either. Its a sturdy lil thing & puts out some serious volumes w/ individual output volume controls, bluetooth functionality & the voice-over function (requiring a microphone they included as part of the buy but as of yet not received & I dnt think its normally included. thank god 4 promos!).Would I recommend this? Absolutely. The cons I mentioned were big for Me but maybe not 4 you & if thats the case then definately grab one of these & get to krankin' it up!*****************UPDATED REVIEW***********************The item in question gave out after a both a month & a half & was returned for an exchange of a working unit of diff brand. PYLE also failed to provide the free gift they promised when purchased. I clearly made a mistake & I would NOT recommend PYLE.

I was not expecting to be impressed with a $100 receiver , but when I connected my Polk bookshelf speakers to this receiver I was amazed by the the audio quality. My Yamaha receiver I have used for the past 6 years or so developed a strange humming sound that won't go away, so I took a chance on this inexpensive receiver and I am glad that I did. The body is mostly metal, it has USB and SD inputs, easy to use speaker wire connectors, separate control for headphone volume, and all of the other audio quality controls one would expect on a good receiver. One input that I wish it had is an HDMI input, but that is not crucial, so I won't list it as a shortcoming. The remote control works very well also, but seems to only work within 10 feet of the receiver.This receiver is easily worth the $100 I paid for it.

This receiver performs the most important function fine, but if you want the remote function capability don't buy this. You cannot perform any of the most important functions with the remote, like power on/off, volume setting, or input selection. However, for the very reasonable prince of it, it is worth dealing with these minor problems. The sound is good and the controls of base and treble are adequate. There is a slight background hum during quiet passages of content, but it not too intrusive. Also, do not expect much help with problems from their customer service. I have contacted them several times with questions and have never received a satisfactory answer. Examples are - they told me to use controls that do not exist on my model or told me to do things which did not work, or just did not address my problem. And, lastly, don't expect any help from the so-called User's Manual. This is a fairly complex piece of equipment and the manual, only 6 pages, does not begin to explain how to use it. And, as I said before, the Customer Service is not much help. Many thinga you need to learn just by trial and error, which, in many cases, is woefully inadequate. Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, but only after informing him of these things that I just mentioned. All-in-all it is a case of you-get-what-you-pay-for. And I don't mean that in a negative manner, it is just that if any of these shortcomings are important to you, you need to pay more, either from a more expensive model from Pyle or another source.

I’m very happy with this purchase! I spent many hours searching various amplifiers in search of one that can accept various inputs. This is for our back yard sound system, so I wanted something with more than two speaker outputs. This one can run 8 speakers, and each of the 4 pairs has its own volume control, as well as a master volume control. This is nice because you can adjust speaker output higher or lower in certain zones just like in a vehicle, which lets you set just the right volume for wherever a particular set of speakers might be placed. All functions work great, and case construction is all metal of nice quality. I’m using this unit with several pairs of Pyle PLMR24 speakers, and am very impressed with sound quality! All in all, I very much recommend this unit!

This product is poorly made. I plugged in a RCA plug into the back and 5 minute s later needed to reconfigure the system and remove the RCA plug and the ENTIRE plug ripped out of the back of the unit rendering the unit worthless. This unit sat in the box 6 months before I even attempted to use it.
