Public Address Amplifier - 500W Compact Digital Receiver w/ 70V 100V Output, Dual Mic Input, USB-A Input w/ MP3 Player, FM Radio, RCA | Home, Continuous Volume and Commercial | PMSA126BU

PMSA126BU PA Amplifier is the perfect amplifier for our association's clubhouse. There are 6 ceiling speakers in parallel and a standard amp just couldn't put out the power to drive the speakers some of which ate 30 feet away. This amp powers them fine from the 70V output connection in the amp. It also accommodates 2 large mic jacks and streams Bluetooth, has usb for music, built in FM tuner and 500 watt output. Very happy with purchase.

One of the inputs broke loose from the circuit board in our old Radio Shack PA amplifier and my boss had wanted me to buy a Bluetooth receiver to send music from her phone. I saw this and showed her, she said to buy it! It works well, perfect for our basement meeting room. I needed something monaural with voltage outputs to connect to the speakers in the ceiling which have matching transformers. I saw Stereo amps, then I spotted this. Perfect. No disappointments except perhaps 2 minor ones. It make a loud "pop" when you turn on the power button (would have been so easy for the engineer who designed this to fix), and the speaker connectors are screws, not the handy spring loaded quick disconnect ones like our old Radio Shack amp had. Not a big deal if the amp is stationary, but ours gets disconnected when the podium is moved for floor cleaning, etc. But considering a lot of folk kept using the wrong impedance output when reconnecting the old one, maybe the more permanent screw connectors will prove to be better after all. I don't know if this will last as long as the old amp, but it is nice. Bluetooth works well.

After one month, machine was gone. Terrible!!

This is about on par with other amps in its class. Not bad. Sound quality is acceptable for my needs but not wonderful. It has a good feature set. The one thing it is lacking is the soft turn on most amps have. The speaker pops when turning mains power on and when using the power button on the remote. The remote only turns off the preamp, as the amplifier hiss is audible in the speakers. I decided the easiest thing to do is use a toggle switch between the amp and speakers.

This product is exactly what it is described as. Lightweight but sturdy. Easy to connect.

Yes! This was perfect for the shop.

Model: PMSA126BU I have 2 large speakers from a 1980's Sony HST-231 stereo. The stereo back then was very loud, and I was hoping to find something to use with these speakers in same manner. 8 Ohms each, together 16 Ohms. 200 Watts each, together 400 Watts. I read other reviews where users had issues, yet it's important to match up correct amplifier with your device. I knew nothing about amplifiers, yet took just minutes of reading on Internet to learn. My speakers don't use 70V. Even though this model has it, you are not required to use it. 70V is for 4 or more speakers (and sound quality is lowest). My 2 speakers were hooked up in Series. I bought extra speaker wire 14 AWG, and quick connects, so it can all quickly be connected/disconnected. And, I used 30 feet in between amp -> speaker -> speaker -> back to amp, this way I can space everything apart. At the amplifier, I hooked up 1 wire to 16 Ohms (positive), and other to COM (negative) - and that's it! Most of the work involved me stripping speaker wires and adding quick connects. At the back of model, you simply connect exposed wire by screwing it in. I screwed in 5" of speaker wire, with a quick connect at the other end, so I can quickly take it all apart, and not have to unscrew/screw wires at amplifier. The sound is amazing! It truly sounds just like the original stereo that we used for speakers, primarily because all specs on the amplifier matched the specs for the speaker. Connected my phone via Bluetooth, and opened Tidal, which is a music app that has "Master" quality songs - same quality as in the studio. I tested some 1980's songs that were heavy on bass, and it sounds great. I also tested cranking volume up super high, and the speakers sounded exactly like with the original stereo. It can go very, very loud. What's really very nice is that you can hook up 2 microphones, for Karaoke. I tested this and it works great. Each microphone has it's own volume. So, you can control the volume of the music separately from volume for the microphones - that's really nice. The 1 feature I believe that would improve this model would be if Pyle upgraded Bluetooth 4 to 5.0. 4 - range is 10 meters indoor (50 meters line of sight) 5 - range is 40 meters indoor (200 meters line of sight) Overall - extremely happy with the purchase!

This works very well for my backyard. I would suggest another option if you are an audiophile who needs strong bass.

Lo que no me gustó es que al prenderlo, el nivel de volumen está en lo más alto y truenan las bocinas
