Pyle600W 6-Channel Bluetooth Stereo Amplifier - Audio Receiver with Digital LCD - Microphone Input - USB - SD - AUX - RCA - FM Radio - Headphone Jack - Multi-Zone Control - PTA66BT

good value for the money it's not for someone who doesn't like having a remote control you need to adjust the dials all yourself but it works very well and rattles the walls at home

I read the reviews for this product before I ultimately decided to purchase it despite some negative reviews. I don't normally write reviews but in this case I felt it was due. I respect all the other reviews written but in my case I have 6 rooms/zones with 2 ceiling speakers each (12-channels). My previous 6-zone, 12-channel amplifier blew up so to find this one at this price point was too good to pass on assuming it worked as advertised. Again in my case this thing worked like a champ. All the speaker wires from all 6 zones runs to my basement and then back up to the next level family room but they are all larger gauge wires which wouldn't fit well in the speaker connections of this unit but that was easily resolved by stripping back the sheathing on those wires and splicing thinner gauge speaker wires to each one. Worked perfectly. The FM tuner in this thing automatically scans and programs all stations found. The Bluetooth was easy to pair with my Samsung tablet which runs my SiriusXM and wirelessly streamed it to all zones without issue. The final piece I use is the USB port which again works great. I plugged in my 64GB USB thumb drive (you can only use thumb drives) and it instantly started playing the MP3s on it. Keep in mind this unit will not recognize any USB beyond USB 2.0. Compared to my old whole home amplifier setup (which ran thru my digital receiver's zone 2) I get better sound and fewer speaker issues thus far with this stand alone amplifier. There was no need to connect it to my home theater system with the FM Tuner, Bluetooth and USB all on board. As far as I'm concerned if you are looking for a great 6-zone, 12-channel amplifier at a fair price this is it.

In short, I am an audiophile. I purchased this unit to run my zone 3 in my backyard and basement pool room. I was excited when I first found and ordered the unit. However, when it arrived and I got it hooked up, I was DEEPLY disappointed! I am a tech professional. I can figure things out easily in most cases. however, this unit was a bit difficult. the instructions were no help. I worked with it a bit and got it going. bluetooth pairing was the most simple - works flawlessly! however, it seems the unit I received (sold as used) - had channel A and F blown. I used a known-good test speaker from another system I have. Even after tweaking the treble and bass, the sound was still VERY flat. The power was there, but clipping was evident and obnoxious! even after dialing it down a bit and turning it up on bluetooth, I got better sound out of a lower powered amp! I eventually hooked it up where it would go and powered up the outdoor Q65 HTD speakers for my back yard. The bass hit, but again, the sound was very flat and tin-can-like, nevermind the blown channels (I needed all 6 for my pool room and outdoors). I think I had it powered up around 30 minutes - rolled thru a variety of music.. glass animals, classical, doors, floyd, various EDM and Rock.. totally not impressed! again, the power was totally there, but it was very distorted at higher volumes where the power was needed! DO NOT RECOMMEND! Waste of time and energy. Other reviews are proper when suggesting other units.. will never entertain pyle again.

I am a music producer and was looking for a way to reference music through a home stereo system to determine how well it was mixed. This system allows me to connect several pairs of passive speakers that would allow me to see what the music would sound like in a client's home or on a radio station. I can use the independent volume controls to easily switch between whatever speakers I have connected to determine if the music is articulating correctly. But that's just one use I have for this unit. I can also use it as a multi-zone system for the house. I can connect speakers in each room and then select what room I want to hear music in. So I may buy another so I don't have to move it from the studio so much. Overall, this system has great sound, the only issue I have is with the remote. It would be nice to have control of each channel's volume. Other than that, this is a great unit for how I am using it. I understand that it also has mic inputs for karaoke and blue tooth which just speaks to its many capabilities. And though it can be used in a home theatre, the channels are only configured left-right plus sub. So you won't get 5 or 6.1 surround. However. I tried this system in a home theatre setup with some Polk audio 5.1 speakers and the sound filled the room nicely. In my opinion, this system is best for multi-channel applications to control multiple speakers. In a retail store or other business for multi-zone function to page people or put on presentations. I love it. it's a great unit. It would be perfect if the remote was more capable of controlling all the features it has.

I can't review the Remote because i don't use it.The sound quality is awesome, I have 5 rooms with speakers and love that this has 6 independent volume controls as well as a master, meaning I didn't have to add volume control knobs to every room.I am an analog person and prefer the knobs over digital controls. Set up was easy and there are so many options to choose from. I already have a dedicated iPad for home automation, so just playing Pandora, iTunes, or any other music option through this receiver is perfect from the iPad.When testing the ceiling mounted speakers with this receiver, my daughter could hear the music clearly outside without distortion (through the attic vents :-) ), definitely clear at a higher volume than I would ever get under normal circumstances, so it is awesome.The quality is great and the price-point is even better.
