Pyle Multi Channel Bluetooth Preamplifier Receiver - 3000 Watt Audio Home Speaker Sound Stereo w/Radio, USB, Headphone, AUX, RCA, Dual Microphone w/Echo, LED, Wireless Streaming - P3201BT

i set it up on 4 15” with 4 tweets. it sounds like your front stage at the concert, sounds incredible! connects bluetooth to iphone flawlessly. quality is 5star.

The unit works as expected, even better. The fan can be slightly heard. I use it with small desktop speakers to record my vocals over karaoke music. Far better sound than imagined. I have not used its full potential yet! So far, so good. Affordable as well!

I bought this to replace an aging and malfunctioning Pioneer 25 disk CD changer. I am a drummer, and needed something to play music through, to play along with. When I first hooked it up, the first thing I noticed, was that the SD card was a little difficult to put in the amp. Not a big deal as far as I am concerned, because I loaded about 600 songs on the card, so it could just stay in the amp. The amp does not have a way to shuffle through folders on a card. At first, I thought it was playing the folders in alphabetical order, and then the same with the songs in each folder, until it played ZZ Top after Foreigner. After using it for a few days, I thought I was at the end of the folders, and that it would go back to Aerosmith at the beginning, but it didn't. There seems to be no reason to how it chooses to play songs, or artists, and this is a big negative for me. I haven't tried using the USB port yet, but I am assuming it will be the same. (If I'm wrong, I will post an update.) Now for the sound quality; The built-in graphic EQ is a joke. There is no way to adjust frequency's. It has a few presets, like jazz, rock, normal etc. They all sound horrible, except the normal setting, and if you are serious about the sound, you won't be satisfied. I was hoping for some help from the included manual, but that was also a joke. I've seen vacation brochures with more pages! Before I go any further, it should be noted that I ran my old CD changer through a Techniques graphic EQ, into an Onkyo receiver, and then into a pair of 1600 watt Pyle Pro speakers. The solution to get the sound quality to where I wanted it, was to run the new amp into the EQ, then into the Onkyo, and then into the PA speakers. I cranked the amp up half way, and set the receiver to the volume I play at, and WOW! The music that came out of the speakers was fantastic! I had a full, rich, fat sound with sharp, crisp highs that I never had before! That was the reason I give it such a high rating, but not the highest. It took a combination of what I already had, with what I bought to get what I wanted. Now, the remote control; The buttons are very small, and the arrangement is odd. Most remotes have the volume up and down next to each other. For some reason this has them separated. There is also no balance control on the remote, or even the amp for that matter. The remote also has to be pointed straight at the sensor to work, at least up close. (All of the electronics sit right behind me when I play) There is also no way to stop a song, and start it at the beginning. You can pause a song, but it's not like stopping a CD, and starting it from the beginning of a song. I usually have the volume set low, while I search for a song I want to play, then set the volume and start the song. The only way to accomplish that with this amp, is to find the song you want, then go back to the song before it, and push pause. Then set the volume where you want it, and then push the button to go to the next song. It's a bit of dicking around, but it works. Overall, if I had it to do again, I would look for an amp that has more of the features I wanted. I am not going to send it back, but I wouldn't buy it again. However, if you're just looking for something to play music with, and not that fussy with the sound (like I am) I would recommend this amp. I can't say anything about the Bluetooth, because I'm not using that feature, and probably won't.

The remote does not control input selection and does not control master volume. The remote is useless. No digital surround processing. Couldn't get any audio out of the subwoofer out and line audio out. At the time of this post, we have maintenance scheduled to evaluate the issue. The only EQ we can get to work is at the Treble and Bass potentiometers. Master Audio output uses a keyed slot potentiometer and not a smooth potentiometer. We are considering desoldering and replacing the existing pot... it is either too loud or to low with current audio mechanical master volume controller. If you have a separate mixing board, you are probably fine. THIS STUPID AMP IS PUTTING ME IN THE POSITION OF ADDING YET ANOTHER MIXING BOARD TO THE PORTABLE RACK, INCREASING WEIGHT. Bluetooth pairing fails, even if it says connected, forcing us to restart both amp and portable device. Just what a person needs in the middle of a show. The only thing I believe this amp is good for is simple audio amplification.

I went with the banana plugs, sub woofer, center speaker and a left right speaker for the terrance.

Received on time and well packaged, hooked up and only tried the BT so far. BT seems to be working good. Will be trying other features at a later date. Well built and has some weight to it. Will update review if any problems arise or features do not work.

Easy to unbox and setup. Exactly as described. I connected my 6-pairs of speakers via an existing splitter and voila! Super high quality music and all the advanced input/output/quality controls you need for a semi-pro home audio setup. Of note, I connected an external long-range Bluetooth receiver since I found the range on the existing Bluetooth receiver+antenna to be <50’.

With these newer Pyle receivers/amplifiers (eg. P3201BT) with USB flash media support, file systems and audio codecs are almost completely functional and done right! Test media: SAMSUNG MUF-64AB/AM FIT Plus 64GB FILE SYSTEMS File systems tested and working: FAT32/VFAT, EXFAT. Filesystems tested and not recognized: EXT2, NTFS WORKAROUND: For EXFAT file systems created using Linux 5.12.14 (Samsung version code submissions), I had to run Windows 10 scan disk (and/or Linux fsck.exfat); and once completed and reinserted, the USB flash media finally became readable by the Pyle P3201BT receiver. (Initial test was with a null file system label, no "mkfs.exfat -L" label.) AUDIO CODECS Audio codecs supported/tested: APE, FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA Also tested and not recognized: AIFF, M4A/AAC, M4A/ALAC, OGG BUG: I used MusicBrainz Picard tag editor on the previously tested audio files, and now after adding metadata tags, only the MP3 file was playable on the P3201BT device. BUG: NO ID3 tags/metadata displayed, only *****.ape, *****.flac, *****.mp3, ******.wav, *****.wma MY NOTES It's no surprise the NTFS file system was not recognized/supported, due to the lack of open source support. However, would have been nice to see an additional EXT2 file system supported for devoted Linux computer users. I neglected to further test the UDF file system, as the UDF file system is also used by devoted Linux users on USB flash media, but does lack error scanning (eg. fsck) under Linux. A more significant feature not present, lacks M4A/AAC support! Unless I'm doing something wrong with the well supported M4A/AAC codec utilities within the open source and/or Linux operating system, the receiver lacks support for the M4A/AAC very popular audio codec! I think most would have paid a few dollars more for the licensing fees. Regardless, one cannot beat having PCM WAV or FLAC support, as I absolutely hate having to use any lossy compression codecs! UPDATE 2021.07.14: I've tried just about everything to get ID3 tags/metadata viewed on the receiver's display with no success. I've used Linux id3lib-3.8.3 software, prefixed with LC_ALL="en_US" (eg. ASCII/8859-1) or LC_ALL="C.UTF-8", exported to CBR and VBR while using 1GB or 64GB SD/USB flash media. Nothing works and all I see are "*****.mp3" on all versions of the audio file. For APE/WAV/WMA files, *****.ape, *****.flac, ******.wav, *****.wma accordingly. I've also tried reformatting the media to fat32/vfat and exfat. I have tried writing id3v1 and id3v2 tags, and both, with still no change in display.
