Pyle - Mini 2x75W Stereo Power Amplifier - PCA3ReviewsI know this is a low priced item, a remote for volume control would be a great addition to this unit. Otherwise it does what its' suppose to, sound quality is really good for the price. Thank you I needed a compact amplifier to go wit a 24" iMac. The amp is set up using the earphone output from the iMac and driving a powered sub-woofer and satellite speaker combo from Cambridge Soundworks. Clean sound, easy setup, good performance. Sound easily fills a 16'x36' room at normal listening levels. Some distortion at max volume/amplification, but that is well above any normal or reasonable use. Very good performance for a surprising price. The amp does just exactly what it is supposed to the blue flashing lights detract greatly from the pleasure of using the amp thank you Ernie Wachter I bought this amp as a sub-woofer amp and it does the job! My new Pioneer 919 blahbitty blah receiver has a PRE OUT SUBWOOFER (RCA style) output, and I happened to have a new-in-the-box 12" woofer from Radio Shack that I picked up years ago on clearance for 10 bucks. Add in a $40 sheet of plywood and my build time, and I've got a low cost, high quality sub-woofer. The Pioneer receiver does just about everything except run out and start my car (and I'm wondering if it'll do that!), so it's too dad-gum complicated. In contrast, this amp could hardly be simpler. It has two RCA style inputs (Left and Right), two speaker-wire outputs (Left and Right), Treble gain, Bass gain, Volume, and an On/Off switch. I saw on other reviews that people used the amp to power an old pair of speakers while playing their iPods. I felt that if the sub-woofer thing didn't work out, I could still do that as Plan 'B'. Fortunately, Plan 'A' is working. I have a nice Belkin 25 foot cable with RCA ends coming from the Pre Out Subwoofer out of the receiver and going into one of the channel inputs (Left) on this amp. Then I have a monster cable, bare-end wires coming out of the corresponding (Left) channel output going directly to the Radio Shack 12" woofer. No crossover or filtering! I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the receiver filters out the high freqs and passes only the lower freqs, 800 hz and below. Anyway, it sounds good, does what I want it to do, and even has nice blue LED indicators that light up when the bass pounds out the beat of a song, or explosions from a game. It's about the size of a thick paperback book, and if I needed too, I could easily unplug everything and take the amp out to my garage for duty playing my iPod. The amplifier came well packaged and was easy to set up. it works wery well. Hermann Average Rating:![]() |
