PDA7BU

Exceptional little piece of kit at a very reasonable price. I bought this for my shop running a pair of Klipsche Tangent speakers. Woke the speakers right up and sound blissful. Surprisingly, sublime sound quality from this little amp. Bluetooths is awesome sounding through this device and easy as pie to make use of. Love that it does not auto-intrude and take over your bluetoooth either Just go to your media output, select the device done. Easy. I run a denon turntable on this device with an orphoton cart and it sound just splendid as well. Really, pyle just became a brand im gonna watch for. Likely will buy an upscale version for the home as well.

Excellent performance! Connected quickly, easy to connect to bluetooth! Exactly what I needed at a very affordable cost. Excellent sound, Easy to use!

The Pyle 5-Channel Rack Mount Bluetooth Receiver is a good value for the price. The Bluetooth connection is stable and works from a long distance. It supports USB, SD card, AUX, and FM radio, so it works with many devices. The sound quality is good, though the remote does not have a power on/off feature.

(second review)For the price, this amazing product is well worth the purchase. I like Pyle. I used a 5-disk changer for years; when it went out, I got this receiver to play songs in a continuous fashion. With the remote, a person can keep mp3 files in folders and change from folder to folder, leaving a single folder or all songs on repeat, and the remote has a pause button that works well. 'If' you are into singing with songs, especially with someone else, it may be a lot of fun for you.I never used the mic inputs, and the mp3 playback abilities took me a few days to figure, yet it worked great. I am into audio and song recording and usually will leave a folder of new tracks on repeat to consider what may be best to do with them or future experimental tracks. The bluetooth does connect well and there are other inputs, as seen in the product description. I did not take the time to register the item the first time I bought it six months ago and 'mistakingly' wired a four-speaker circuit that burned out a resistor and a capacitor within the receiver. My mistake and I do not recommend someone opening the enclosure without at least an intermediate knowledge of electronics - capacitors that store over 24 volts are potentially lethal and a life risk should not be taken lightly.That being said, the receiver worked so well during its first time around that I ordered the same product and am joyous that it was still available. If it had a record to mp3 function I would consider the PDA7BU even more impossible to surpass with what I could find on the market, especially with the dual mic inputs that have an echo knob. I also recommend the Dual speakers that are usually showed at the bottom of the Amazon product page along with the banana plugs and thick-gauge speaker wire. It is fun to assemble - the larger of the two options of the dual speakers present a deep boom totally worth the money, even when turned down low. I did not opt for the subwoofer and was not tempted too; if you get the Dual speakers, notice the 'label' on the front can be adjusted to vertical or horizontal, they can be laid on a shelf or mounted well in otherwise fashion. I totally appreciate a product with that much ability for its cost and simplicity. Do not let it frustrate that the flashdrive will only play mp3s from a drive and is not a 'decoder,' if the term is close. As in, if you have a pedometer that plays mp3s and can communicate with a usb cable the receiver will not play mp3s by selection of the songs from a player.The inputs can receive audio as described in the product description - it worked fine with a 5-disk changer input into female rca ports. If you plan to hook up more than two speakers with it, which I really see no point in, be sure to contact Pyle and confirm the manner of installation before hand for safety and durability reasons. It is a sleek receiver, thin and able to be mounted in a sturdy fashion with the metal brackets that come with the device. There are many receivers; I chose this one twice. :) Thank you to Pyle, and get one if you can to else. The one drawback, short not being able to record or having a headphone/aux out is the bright display not being able to be dimmed. Do not look at it for long amounts of time within under six feet or so - there is nothing wrong with using 'matte' tape (the 'dull, not see-through-shiny-Christmas-wrapping-tape-yet-still-see-through-and-common-tape') on the front of the led screen (as one can do with a common led bulb) to have a less detrimental display.There is also nothing wrong with painting a spot on the top of the remote with white-out and putting a piece of tape on top of it in order to see the orientation of the remote quickly within dim lighting (worked well for me). If you purchase this product, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did; I had to make do without it for a few weeks. With one flash drive, I can select from at least 500 songs; there is not much of a reason to get a flash drive with more than 8 or 16 gigs. I recommend ScanDisk flash drives Only; Do not format the flash drive if you opt for that route. Over all, the PDA7BU is my favorite home audio receiver.(first review)Shopping to replace a 5-disk changer took me months. I found a 3-disk changer and it went out in 40 days, so I got a 5-disk that was the changer only (no speakers). Of course, I would also need an amp and speakers, so I shopped on Amazon extensively for a good deal on a good one and found what I was looking for. It is great for hooking up a CD player, Bluetooth, and rca in/TV; I use it mostly for playing mp3s. It does well to play from a flash drive with mp3s in folders and can be left on repeat.For the price, I simply cannot complain and wonder if anything else could have compared. The speakers I got with it hit hard enough,(Dual Electronics: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00081NX5U/)even though I keep it turned down.The remote has pause, volume, and other controls for radio and mp3.This is an awesome product and I have appreciated its abilities.Thank you Pyle and Amazon.

I would just like to say to start this off that I have purchased many pile products in the past which have had absolutely no problems whatsoever sound quality was great the actual quality was great and it wasn't as people say a piece of crap or a pile of crap. My experience this time was not so good. Upon arrival the package was completely fine I opened it up and the RCA connector for one of the inputs was completely hanging out of the device not that this is a deal-breaker so I went and hooked it all up to my machine used a different input and found that the subwoofer port did not work at all. After testing subwoofer on a different system it works fine so that told me that the port was no good once everything was all set up all speakers were hooked up and in place I tested it out and if this is 200 Watts I'll donate my kidneys there is no way this is 200 Watts I have had 50 watt amplifiers that have more power than this furthermore the signal-to-noise ratio was very high as there was a clear hum in the unit after I noticed this I unhooked everything completely put it back in the packaging and is being sent back for a total refund. Keep in mind this is not actual surround sound even though it does have rear end center speaker separately this is nothing more then a poor attempt at making a surround sound receiver. Although it cost a lot more than this one did I will more than likely be purchasing a Bose unit because of the quality factor and it goes through rigorous testing prior to release this did not have any quality control stamps on it anywhere it looked like 1980s quality. I would not recommend buying this as you will be dissatisfied now if this is used as a karaoke head without amplification this may actually work pretty decently for you but keep in mind you will need an amplifier to use this device. Now as for the positive factors of it the Bluetooth work really really well very easy to set up however when you turn the main power switch off you had to reset up the Bluetooth. The FM stereo in it worked absolutely fine without any issues it did have equalization functions built into it I believe there was 7 some of them sound okay some of them not. Overall I'm giving this a 2-star rating because primarily due to the quality and lack of quality control on this actual unit had there been more quality control or any quality control they would have caught the simplest of problems with this unit and not wasted my time. I hope this review helps clarify any misinformation that may be out there in regards to this actual unit.
