Pyle Compact Mini Home Power Amplifier - 40W Smart Small Audio Stereo Receiver w/ AUX 2 Microphone IN COM/8-Ohm/25V/70V Speakers LED Input Selector For PA Amplified Speaker Sound System - PCM20A

Works perfectly for small distributive sound system (ceiling speakers) for putting sound in remote locations in a church, school, or meeting facility. Can operate as a stand-alone mixer/amp with its two mic channel imputs or as an auxillary amp to feed your distributive system off of your main mixing console via its auxillary input. Plenty powerful to supply 6-8 full range transformer-matched ceiling speakers tapped at 5 watts on an 8 ohm load. The price is right and the unit performs very well.

This is exactly what I wanted new in the package. It is not stereo, and I knew it when I ordered it, might want to change the listing and remove the term stereo. It is a Mono amp. I am going to pair this with a Viking FX1 -1A ring trip paging adaptor to allow my wife to page me while I am in the yard. The paging adaptor will be on a port of my SOHO Pabx989 bucks on Amazon) which I use to block nuisance calls, and drive a pair of 15 watt 70Volt atlas horns I got for 50 bucks. the Amp and speakers roughly a c-note and I could play church chimes if my neighbors want to hear them. tehe

Amp works fine. I really like that it drives regular 8ohm as well as 70v speakers. Couple of things that in retrospect would have really made this really nice... 1. All inputs are on the front. Maybe that's what you're looking for--in retrospect, having all the wires stick out on the front is not as nice as having them hidden in the back. 2. We have 2x 8ohm PA speakers that are wired in parallel. this means the effective resistance is 4ohm (wire them in series, and you get 16ohm). Unfortunately, this amp only has an 8ohm output. With 4 speakers, you can wire a series of parallel pairs and get 8ohm, but not with 2 speakers. 3. I wish that some of these low-end amps also had a line out signal.

The 20 year old Radio Shack PA amp in our retail store shorted out, started smoking and left a wonderful burnt electronics smell in our offices for about 24 hours. So nice! It's amazing that thing lasted as long as it did but the day had finally come for us to replace it. We weren't looking for something incredibly powerful or with hi-fidelity. We just needed something to power four 8-ohm Radio Shack PA horns we've had forever. This 40W Pyle amp worked out perfectly. Installation was quick and easy and performance is much better than our old PA amp. The unit is compact (less than half the size of our old PA amp) and much more powerful. Noone can claim they "didn't hear the page" anymore :) There's aren't a lot of bells and whistles to this PA amp but that's precisely what we wanted. It's a great product at a great price. Hook it up and walk away. Done! Thanks Pyle

Working well as a PA system at a senior center. The sound level is adequate but I expected more volume since the original amp it replaced was only 10 watts and this is 40 watts. I am using the 70 volt tap. Overall I am happy with the unit and it serves our purpose well.

It worked great for a few months then it stopped working and produced intermittent sound.Had to replace the box with the same item. Hopefully this one lasts.

Small, stylish, and versatile in terms of input/output. I have ceiling speakers installed in most of the rooms of my house. I used to 'drive' them with a Radio Shack 70-v amplifier, which burnt out and is no longer available in this price range. This was the perfect replacement, with just enough wattage for a comfortable level of listening. I have a 'BluTooth' receiver hooked into the Auxiliary input, and I can stream music housewide directly from my iPhone. Big hit during house parties.

This product has a lot of nice features, I guess. Trouble for me was, I was never able to get it to work! I hooked it up as specified in the directions and it didn't work. I tried hooking it up based on my experience and it didn't work. I have never had good luck with 70V systems at any point in my 30+ years experience in audio. So it sits on a desk, mocking me, but serves as a reminder.
