5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Value!

Can be used as a PA amp for live music or karaoke and has inputs for RCA jacks and a 3.5mm headphone type jack to connect an mp3 player, CD, and/or karaoke player. It also plays back music from a USB flash drive or SD card. Vocal mics connect with XLR jacks (recommended), guitars and other instruments with std. 1/4" mono phone plugs. The XLR connections are more sensitive and give more volume to mics than using 1/4" mono phone plugs, so it's worth buying an adapter (or XLR mic cable) if your mic cable isn't an XLR type. The amp has an echo effect that can be added to vocals or any of the channels with individual channel controls for effect amount, bass, treble and volume. There is also a master volume control. About the only thing it doesn't have is a foot switch to instantly remove echo when talking into a mic, although the echo isn't real strong from this amp. It also has an effects loop output/input. There are only two speaker outputs which are 1/4" mono phone plug jacks, so if you want to connect a subwoofer or more speakers it would have to be from your speakers or from a splitter adapter. I use mine with two speakers on stands and a powered subwoofer that connects to one of my speakers and it sounds great! The volume from this is plenty loud for most applications, I recently used mine to provide music for dancing at a wedding reception and was asked to turn the volume down! Do understand that this is a mono amp, not stereo. It converts the stereo signal received from your external music source into a mono signal that is sent to both of your speakers. It's not a big deal for most applications and you will be hard-pressed to find an amp with all these features at this price!

1.0 out of 5 stars Would not turn on

It would not turn on. I have a few other systems, so I tested one to make sure all power connections were ok. Other system worked fine. It is this new Pyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great! Pleasantly surprised with the great quality and performance of this powered mixer.

I was VERY impressed with how well this unit worked in the application I bought it for. We used it on a parade float to help a a bass guitar, keyboard, and a singer be heard well along with our STRONG drummer. We ran six 8-ohm 12" 2-way loudpeakers. We ran 3 in a daisy chain from each output and sound quality was fine. No issues with clipping or anything. We got up to around probably 50-60% of the usable output of the unit, setting each channel's gain about noon, and each send close to noon or a little higher. Mains volume we had about noon to 2ish. The unit is quiet, not adding any undue hiss or buzz. Even more impressive, we were running off of a 3000 watt inverter we installed in our church van. It worked beautifully for 3 hours straight and didn't even get warm to the touch. I didn't use much of the effects or the bluetooth features, mainly because I didn't have time to try them out first. Thank goodness for fast shipping, or we would have been sunk! I normally stay away from these ... um... lower end electronics, but this thing works great. Very happy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good for the Price

I got this for a church event and it did great. I hooked it up to two big Peavey speakers and it made them sing. It looks good and is smaller than my old Peavey receiver. I knocked off one star because it is kind of loud. Our music was louder, but I can see it getting annoying in a speaking only setting. Other than that, I’m happy with the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds great for a small mixer, and it's powerful enough for all of my gigs. The price was very reasonable. Love it

E.C. · January 27, 2018

I am 4'9" small weighing 104 lbs; what I like the most is I can pick the mixer up; it is very easy to set up and the sound quality is great. I love the sound of my microphone and the fact that I can make all of the adjustments myself. I would like to be the one who can try new product so I can help promote it with all of my musician friends. I was signed with RCA Records in 1990, and I am very familiar with top of the line equipment, but I have to tell you for the price and the quality of sound that Pyle gives I am sold with testing and purchasing new equipment. I wonder what the Plye speakers and wireless headset sounds like with this mixer?

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the best choice

A. · November 10, 2023

I bought one about 2 years ago. Very light use and vocals only. Mostly rehearsal may have been taken out to small gigs 3 or 4 times.During rehearsal I smelled smoke and it caught fire. Since I had an upcoming engagement I bought another one.When I plugged it in it took about a minute before it actually started to work the mics. The power and fan started right up.You can bet you will be getting it back if it fails for my event on November 11th.Otherwise if it lasts 2 years I suppose that's a good thing.I do like the features and the price isn't bad. We shall see

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely unhappy that I was duped into buying this PILE of CR**. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT and ABYSMAL Quality Control

G. · September 3, 2016

Extremely unhappy that I was duped into buying this PILE of CR**. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT and ABYSMAL Quality Control doesn't even begin to describe it.My Pyle PMX840BT mixer amp failed on the first day, just hours after receiving the Bolo shipment. Thankfully Bolo has approved a free return and I don't see any reason to not get my refund also immediately.The mixer portion of it still works, although the quality has been VERY poor right from the start. The amp is total dead and there is no signal coming out from either of the two 1/4 speakers outputs on the back of the unit. The unit powers up but the internal amp has just flat out died. I can get sound only if I use the line out feature because it skips the amp circuit.As for the amp quality from the few hours of life I got from it before it quit, I would have to say it is of very poor quality. There was too much hissing and noise and some sort of weird high pitched noise from the FX circuit. This thing puts out NO WHERE NEAR 800W of audio power and it barely gets as strong as my 10 year old 200W guitar amp running the same speakers.. Also, the dual speaker outputs on the back is a fraud setup. It is simply a mono signal physically split into two plugs to trick buyers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and easy to use

Doesn't need a ton of space and generates very little noise. Great unit.

bad product!

M.M. · May 17, 2018

Works well. Fan is a bit loud, but my instruments easily drown it out. The price was great. I'll see how long it lasts for me.

A.C. · March 3, 2018

very satisfied love the SD card slot for my music I do a lot recordings and I use the SD card to load my music on so I can play along with my Guitar and voice. If you put a good set speaker with this works great.

Three Stars
