Non-standard size won’t fit in rackI have a love-hate relationship with Pyle, and this product is a good demonstration of that.So many vendors are over-engineering their products and over-investing in features that end users don’t actually want or need -and the price often reflects this. So, for example, TV manufacturers add all these smart features that I usually just bypass because literally the only thing I need it to do is display the input coming from my receiver (I usually mute the TV volume too, so even the speakers are unnecessary) -then they charge way more for these features I don’t even want.With audio receivers, it is the same. The quality products end up with all kinds of features/options I don’t need/want -and the price reflects this.It shouldn’t be rocket science to build a simple stereo amplifier that takes one stereo line input and amplifies it to a pair of speakers with basic EQ settings and volume controls.Initially, I was really excited about the potential of this product. I need a rack-mountable audio amplifier that can power multiple zones of speakers that are each in stereo. I don’t need it to have 85 different kinds of theater-quality 3D sound experiences to emulate concert halls, or for it to connect wirelessly with blue tooth or wifi or anything else. All I need it to do is take one audio input and amplify it to speakers in multiple different zones, and ideally to fit neatly into an equipment rack along with my network gear. Apparently, this is totally unrealistic request.Sometimes Pyle produces really basic, simple things that do exactly what you need them to without paying a bajillion dollars for some over-engineered solution that has all kinds of features you don’t even want. Their speaker wire is great. Their in-wall/ceiling speakers are great also. Not the kind of stuff you’d get if you’re an audio snob and are going to sit in your listening room comparing it to a Steinway theater system, but good enough that most normal people are going to greatly enjoy listening to it without any real complaints. The cost delta of going from an in-wall system with pyle speakers and wires to something like a Steinway system is extreme, and the difference in sound quality, while noticeable, probably isn’t sufficient to justify that expense for most normal people.For audio inside my house, I tend to go with theater receivers from Yamaha. But I have outdoor speakers on my porches, and a Yamaha receiver isn’t the right approach for them. In the past, I’ve used small, individual Pyle amplifiers to power each pair of speakers. They work ok, and the sound quality is good enough, but I’ve got multiple zones and therefore have a stack of these odd-shaped/sized amps. Set up like that, they look sloppy/cheap/amateur.I was excited for this solution, because it would allow me to neatly fit that capability inside an equipment rack where all my network gear is located.While I’ve often been content with Pyle solutions, I’m disappointed with this one. After waiting about 2 months for it to arrive, I immediately discovered that I was sent a product that previously was returned by another customer. It was missing the top half of the foam packing that hold it in place in the box. If there were supposed to be any screws or rack mount brackets included, those also were missing. The return slip from the prior customer was still in there. The amp itself probably came inside plastic originally, to keep the foam from sticking to it. When I got it there were little pieces of foam stuck all over it, in between all the knobs/mounting posts/etc -not a great start.After spending some time carefully cleaning it off, I slid it into my equipment rack to discover that it is a non-standard size. Not only do the holes not line up with those on my rack, they are too small to allow mounting screws to go through them. The amp is also a non-standard height. It looks to be about 2 and 1/3U, which is also not ideal. If they’d intended for it to occupy 3U and leave 1/3U of space above/below (to allow cooling, for example), it would have been great for them to state this in the product description anywhere.The product description gives all kinds of crazy specs/details, some of them totally unbelievable. For example, 6,000 watts of power means you’re going to draw 60 amps. For this to be a 60 amp unit, you’d need a 60 amp plug. Laundry dryers usually have a special 30 amp plug, and electric vehicles can be 48 amps. So, the false claim of 6,000 watts is quite ridiculous -but probably most people who bought this product understand that and don’t really care. I don’t want 6,000 watts of power, I’m hooking it up to a dozen 40 watt speakers. 6,000 watts would be totally overkill. I don’t care about bluetooth, or microphone inputs, or whatever other bells and whistles. My requirements are quite simple:(1) Standard rack mount equipment (fail)(2) Stereo input (at least one –> ok)(3) Stereo outputs to 6 zones which each have 2 stereo speakers (ok)(4) Sufficient power to drive a total of about 400 watts of speakers (probably ok)(5) Not over-engineered with all kinds of nonsensical and unnecessary features (meh, kinda failed here)Bonus: Accurate user guide/product information (fail)Sometimes Pyle gets stuff right, but this doesn’t seem like one of those times. It’s whacky whack, like the engineering and marketing teams were high out of their minds on cracky crack. Maybe they designed it ok and the quality control team are a bunch of clowns who failed at their dream of giving PTSD to small children and instead sit around ignoring the deviation of the mounting brackets. Maybe they thought they were mostly just going to sell these to the government (who could possibly be a lower bidder?). It’s better solution than the one-ply paper towels that rip when you try to dry your hands in a public bathroom, but that’s not saying much.Come on guys, you can do better than this.

GreatI got this 12 Channel Amplifier to connect to the existing speakers in my house. I have 6 sets of speakers so this is perfect fit. Setup is simple and straight forward. I used another digital receiver as input and use the volume control on the channels to control which room should have output. It works quite amazingly well. The sounds are very loud. Used every day for a month now. Very happy with the buy.

Great amp…and oh, good value tooI have 12 8″ in ceiling speakers scattered about the house. I had 2 50W channels powering all of them and they just weren’t that load. I bought this bad boy and I just turn the volume up to the first notch on each channel and that is too loud. Each room in the house has its own volume knob so who ever is in that room can control the volume to their liking but all channels are set at the first notch on the amp. I use one aux input which is connected to an amazon echo dot to act as a source. If I am within voice range, I just tell it what type of music to play. If I am not within voice range, I can use the app on my phone to control the content playing on the dot. It is the perfect system. In addition to indoor speakers, I am using the line-level output on this amp to serve as the input to the old amp I am replacing (which has 4 channel outputs). I am using that amp to power 4 speakers on the deck and in the pool area. All speakers, indoor and out play the same source from the echo dot.

Overall A Good ProductSo far this product is functioning as promoted by the manufacturer. I wish there was a little more space between the input/output receptacles.

Great Bang for Buck. Taking away 1 star for the way inflated RMS rating.Bang for buck? Kind of hard to beat if you are looking for a “sacrificial amp”. I have an outdoor kitchen/pavilion, it stays dry, but heavy humidity days wreaks havoc on non-protected electronic gear. I did not want to spend $1K+ on a “sacrificial” amp to power 8 outdoor speakers. I am concerned about the “life span” of the product. I hooked up 8 (4 open channels) speakers with an 8 ohm load. At 8 ohms I would expect the amp to remain cool. At 50% volume, the unit was getting pretty warm in less than an hour. I plan to break out my Oscope and meter, but I am estimating this unit has a max output of 60 watts (RMS / unclipped signal)) per channel at 8 ohm (NOT even CLOSE to 250 watts RMS they are claiming). I am sure the output will be higher at 4 ohm, but then wondering how much hotter the unit will get? Overall at the price point and just looking for decent SQ, I am impressed by the unit. If it lasts at least 1 – 2 years, I will be more than pleased FOR THE MONEY. Overall I feel I received a good bang for buck. NOTE: After using this a few times some usage “issues” to contend with. 1. When you turn the unit off it loses your selected input source. I contacted support there is no way to change the default input source at power on. Not sure why the engineers decided to use the USB input as the default input source? 2. When you turn the unit off, the volume defaults to low power settings. These minor oversights create a headache when the wife calls you asking you how to get the stereo going in the outdoor kitchen. I hooked up an android tablet and was hoping I could simply power, have spotify/pandora on the tablet and be done with startup. NOPE!

Great sound qualityI bought this and using it for 5 different zones in our house. Installation was easy and sound quality is great.The only thing that I have not figured yet if it automatically turns off after a long idle time. Overall pretty happy with the amplifier so far.

Decent Unit, could use more commercial features and instructionsI like that for a simple home system the hookups to the banana plugs went well and that it’s easy enough to hook up speaker wires to reflect sketch location by room. 400 ft2 is filled pretty comfortably (11 oclock set) by 5 speaker house monitor set rated at about 100 w/ ch each. The TV sound out is nice on Aux1 but doesn’t promote stereo L/R unless also use Aux 2 or the mysterious RCA Inputs (diagr #18) – as nothing on front label RCA or #18 outputIF the unit were to run 6000 watts then 50 amp circuit would need to be in place … hmmm ?It would have been nice to have (NTH) an RMS power rating per channnel/4 ohms or 8 ohms.IF there were only 2 or 4 main sets of speakers NTH feature Bridgeable channels with included bridging hook(s).A MAIN volume dial would be pretty useful..for once you have set max levels of the speakers , inputs etc. some random person can operate the MAIN Volume and not likely mess up any of the more than 16 outputs and 6 input controls on frontAlso NTH front 1/4″ inputs. Currently OK as can convert rear RCA input to accomodate 1/4″ instrument jackPossibly easier to use an instrument preamp combo to go to some of the RCA or Aux inputs so not so many wires to mess with. (e..g. guitar, bass, synth, analog instrument mic) and that is pretapped into RCA audio input (#18 diagram) (, supposedly controlled at front by something not identified as RCA audio input.Possibly the instrument box would go into mic 1 or mic 2 TRS input on back… I guess I’ll have to experiment.Some typical Input setup diagram would be nice to have (NTH) for TV, CD, tape, USB, mic1, 2, kareoke, electrical instruments, DVD, 1/8″ headphone (3.5mm) inputs, 3.5mm output But for the price point this Unit is great.

Great for multiple speaker zones . Not great BluetoothIt sounds ok for the price point. I wanted volume control over 4 different sets of outdoor speakers and it works extremely well for that. The biggest problem is the Bluetooth reception. About 10 feet max. I bought an antenna extension and it was no better. Bought a small external Bluetooth receiver and plugged it into one of the inputs and that corrected my problem.
