Frequently Asked Questions
Any phonograph inputs?
This device lacks the special non-linear RIAA curve input required by phonographs. BUT with individual volume controls for your microphones, you and a companion can sing along.
Is it compatible with 3 ohm speakers?
I had to purchase a Krell amplifier to power the 1.5 Ohm speakers I had made. Anything under 4 Ohm will almost certainly require a high-end amplifier like a Krell.
Is this safe to put in my car? I suppose that qualifies as a Pyle driver.
Look for a smaller, 12-volt power adapter-using model Pyle PFA540BT that is identical to this one. Should perform well in your vehicle. This one was $59 when I was shopping for it, but it is currently over $90. It could be better. According to reports, the volume is actually controlled via the remote.
Would this unit power a passive subwoofer, or will a separate amplifier be needed?
Yes, but you deplete the power of each of the other channels. Instead, use a powered subwoofer, which won’t consume as much of your signal or your amplifier’s power.
Does the remote have a power switch?
Only volume is managed by the remote. The other buttons don’t control anything, so I’m not sure why they’re there.
Do you pair this amp with an active or passive sub?
Perhaps both. Mine is connected to a 1200 watt amp to power two 18″ subwoofers. The lows will undoubtedly sound great with an amp.
Does this effortlessly connect to a Samsung smart TV?
Yes, if your television broadcasts a Bluetooth signal; otherwise, no.
Use with my Crosley stereo is possible.
It has an aux connection and, if it has Bluetooth, both are true.
Is the output of 200 watts rms?
200 Watts at 4 Ohms is the maximum power output, and 100 Watts x 2 at 8 Ohms is the RMS power output.
Does it function as a zone amplifier with a Denon receiver?
My Pyle Amp caught fire the first time I plugged it in. I’m not sure why. Pyle used to be a reputable company, but now everything is mass produced in China. When I opened mine up to investigate what had happened after putting out the fire, I found a sizable glob of extra solder on the power supply board.
Can my Pyle PDA7BU play FM radio?
You can, indeed. AFM antenna should be plugged into the back. A simple black wire with a plug on one end serves as the antenna. To set the amp to play radio, press the mode button on the remote. It will immediately begin looking for FM radio stations. Once it locates them all, it can detect. To navigate through the memory numbers and find the station you want to listen to, use the arrow keys on the remote control. The memory won’t allow you to preset it. The amp completes that task on its own.
Do these 70.7vrms speakers work with this?
No. This amplifier has a low impedance. This means that it is compatible with speakers with load impedances ranging from 4 to 16 Ohms. It is not a constant voltage amplifier capable of driving speakers powered by 70V or 100V.
Is it possible to play different music on each channel if each set of speakers is in a different room?
No. One “zone” with Left, Right, and Center is all there is.
Can you connect an amp to it so that it can power speakers?
An amp, that is. I connected my Fire TV’s external speaker system to it to get surround sound.
