Pyle Home Audio Power Amplifier System - 2X120W Dual Channel Mixer Sound Stereo Receiver Box w/RCA, USB, AUX, Headphone, Mic Input, LED - for PA, Theater, Home Entertainment, Studio Use - Pyle PTAU55

This is a great little unit. It's very compact but also feels very substantial. It produces clear sound and has a nice "feel" to all the control knobs. I bought it mainly to connect between turntable and speakers. But I also tried the BT connection to my phone and that was easy to setup and worked really well for playing MP3s. I also tried the FM radio receiver and that was crystal clear too. I don't think you can beat this for the price.Update 9/5/22: Bought a second unit. Above comments still apply. LEDs are a bit bright but I still don't think you can beat this for the price.

I was looking for an inexpensive amp to power my two outdoor (150W) speakers, but I didn't want to buy a whole new large receiver for the task. Initially I tried the Pyle PCAU46A (120W/channel) unit, because that model came with a remote control and a nicely lit volume knob. But after only an hour or two of playing music at no more than 1/3rd the maximum volume, the PCAU46A died and so did the replacement unit Amazon was so nice to send me. After the second unit died with even less play time on it I decided to give this Pyle PTAU55 (120W/channel) a try, even though there were no posted reviews yet.Welp, so far so good. This model has been powering my two outdoor speakers for several hours now at no more than 1/3rd the max volume and everything seems to be working fine. I use the SD card slot to play my MP3s, and I also use the Pyle to send my TV music channels outdoors. The PTAU55 has three inputs plus the SD/USB one that are selected manually with the frontal knob. The digital display is helpful when cycling through my songs as it displays the song numbers and time elapsed when playing a song. I can't imagine trying to use the previous Pyle units with SD/USB ports that lack this display. I really don't have any complaints about this model, except maybe that it lacks random play for the SD/USB slots. And I do wish this thing came with the remote control and the nicely lit volume knob the defective PCAU46A's come with. But, oh well, maybe Pyle's future models will have all the perks.UPDATE 1/19/2016:So, it has been 2.5 years since I purchased this Pyle PTAU55 unit, and the thing is still going strong, powering my outdoor speakers. No issues at all.

This unit provides plenty of punch to make even a weak MP3 on a USB stick sound like a high fidelity recording, even through bookshelf speakers. Separate bass and treble tone controls allow a wide range of equalization options. Multiple inputs keep you from having to unplug the iPod to use a CD player or other source, and the "REC OUT" jacks let you record at an appropriate line impedence while listening at higher volume. I put a Bluetooth receiver on one of the AUX inputs and play music wirelessly from my Android phone - Internet radio, Pandora, Amazon cloud music - and even TV sound from a Bluetooth transmitter on the TV (excellent for late night listening through the headphone jack). This replaced a Pyle PTA3, which is another great Pyle amp that I will continue to use elsewhere, and a PTAU45 (close cousin amp without a digital display) stays in the living room to fill that part of the house with great audio. I am a believer; try one and you will be, too!

** Follow up a year later, all he clamps in the back broke off!! Super cheap connections as it turns out and I am greatly disappointed. Unable to fix or replace due to such cheap material used for clamps to connect to speakers or equipment. Complete waste of money. This is why I usually do not review unless really good product. In this case when it worked it was great. When it broke, then broke again, and then all the other connections broke off, I had to update since turned out to be a really bad purchase. Rating going from 5 star to 1.Purchased this to upgrade sound quality with 20 foot outdoor movie screen. Literally took old (but great sound) house speaker outside and hooked up the monster speaker wire from old speaker to thisy device and WOW! The sound was sooooo much better. Able to tweak the bass and treble. Now there is deep bass and great volume that can be clearly enjoyed across the backyard. Guest are blown away with the 20 foot screen…then the movie starts and now the sound is awesome too thanks to this. Great price. Money well spent!

I am very pleased with this amplifier/receiver. I had my doubts at first, as most receivers are in the 200-500 dollar range, and this one was only ~85. However, this amp works perfectly for what I have.For those wondering, I'm running a dual speaker setup, with 4 tweeters, two mid ranges, and two 12" Goldwood Subs. The Sound is incredibly clear, and the bass hits hard.Pros:-Great compact size-Great bass/treble/balance control-Dual Wattage comes in handy if you want to hook up a whole surround sound system-Come with handy, easy to understand directions for people who know nothing about how to set these things up (like my roommates)-GREAT for the value (remember, this will give you great sound, but not drop dead amazing sound. You are only spending 86 bucks!!)Cons:-Cord is a little short (nothing an extension cord can't fix)-When using mic and aux at the same time, it can become easy for one to drown out the other.All in all, 5/5! Great Product, I am very happy with my purchase!
