PWMA230BT

So far I’ve used this system for a grave-side funeral service. It worked great with the mic and plugging in my guitar. Sound quality is very good with plenty of volume for small groups.

I absolutely love this system and has worked beautifully for me for outside events where I play memorial songs I make for families in nearby communities and play in an outside park. Just what I needed and for the price, feel it was well worth it....thank Pyle for a great product.

This is a good value, but replacing the battery is a pain. We purchased this for office outings, and the sound quality and microphones work great. After 2.5 years, the battery needed replacing - wouldn't hold a charge. You access the battery by removing the screen and unscrewing the 10" speaker. You can't remove the speaker, the leads are soldered on, so carefully put that on something that lets you get to the bracket that holds the battery in place. Two nuts removed the bracket, then you have to deal with 2 other things: The battery terminals are soldered to the wires (unusual), and the battery is glued to the bottom of the unit! So you'll have to clip the two leads and work at getting the battery out. The battery we removed is a 12v, 6-FM-4.5 "scooter" battery. Dimensions are 3.9"h x 3.5w x 2.75"d Replace the cut ends of the battery leads with female QD fittings, plug in your new battery, and reassemble. Removing the dead battery is such a pain, I knocked a star off the review.

My wife has a Technics 7000 Keyboard with built in Rhythm & drums also she can output all the base / rhythm to a separate speaker. This worked well, excellent drum & base sounds. Note: no chance on earth that this is a 400 watt system, it runs on a 12V & 6A, battery when not on AC, that means it is a 12v DC amplifier, it would be lucky to pump 50 ± Watts in reality. The paperwork is mucked up, as the specs are not exactly the same as the unit I received and the Battery is not the same as far as AMP HR Ratings listed in the manual, I was able to get a slightly larger battery for it. It's fine for a area like 2k-3k square ft. The Bluetooth seemed to pair easy and work from her cell phone. The included wireless mic is fine for a child but not a real musician. Good for a first amp, plenty of inputs, very portable, with wheels and extending handle. Mechanically solid not cheap plastic.

To be fair to Pyle, the main unit looks and feels like real musical equipment. The box is heavy and solid, and the features are ample. For the price, you cannot get close with other branded units. I was thrilled with what I saw. The amplified PA was received defective. It had an intolerable hiss when turned on, made worse by plugging in a Shure SM 58 microphone, worse yet by turning on the included wireless toy microphone, and louder by adding volume. I hoped topping up the battery might help, but no. I called Amazon support to see if it was a setting or otherwise user remediable, but no. Return was the only option. I returned it immediately for replacement. Bad plan. Most importantly, Amazon handled this badly. Very badly. "Prime free shipping" took longer than expected, which is now common in my experience. Then the return processing was blown. The replacement was "canceled due to out of stock" without notice. I did not know until I contacted Amazon at the end of the replacement delivery day. Oh. Sorry. Here's a $5 conditional compensation. Not good enough to cover one leg of a trip to go buy something "locally." Not spendable for gas, either. "Sorry for your inconvenience." "I hope you understand my limitations." Really? This was avoidable. Notifying me that there would be further delays would have enabled me to get something locally much sooner. If this was a one time problem, I might say "stuff happens." But, no, this is a trend. So the lowest Amazon rating of "one star" (which intentionally skews ratings upward statistically) is not the fault of the untestable product, it is the fault of Amazon against the buyer, seller and manufacturer, but as a minuscule percentage of customers, will have no impact. Too big to care now.

Its not very loud for a 12", but it does sound pretty good. The mic inputs for a standard low gain wired dynamic mic (like a shure sm58) don't have enough gain, but the included mics or some other powered wireless mics I have work well. An external preamp or mixer would solve this problem but would kind of defeat the point. Its very convenient and portable for acoustic+singing practice (or very small gigs/park busking) or as a quick karaoke setup with a laptop/tablet. Battery life at any decent volume is about 3 hours. I wish the included mics were rechargeable or that the speaker could pair with other wireless mics but I have not found a way to do it. Overall, I wouldn't pay full price for it, but I got it on a decent sale and for that its good enough I will keep it. I would stay away from anything less than the 12" speaker version. I can't imagine the other two smaller sizes are loud enough to be worth it.

This speaker is a great buy! The sound quality is loud and clear, perfect for gatherings, events, or even just enjoying music at home. I love that it’s portable with a rechargeable battery, so you can take it anywhere. The Bluetooth connects easily, and it really fills up the space with great sound. Definitely a must-have if you love music or host events! Highly recommend!

I just purchased this less than a week ago and it just arrived yesterday. I want to use it for busking, so I needed something that was able to be used anywhere yet something that wasn't too big and heavy, yet more than anything it needed to be LOUD. Even after reading about speakers to figure out what amps to use for singing I was shooting in the dark. I didn't need something too complicated, and I didn't want to spend more than $200 or I wanted something extra. My biggest worry was about the size of the amp. I could not find any reliable pictures, so the main point of this post is to show you how big it is, relative to a pro size basketball. I want to carry it on my back, and it's not as heavy and unruly for an average size man with decent muscle mass. I was worried I had overshot the size and weight limits in my passion for loudness, but with a bigger/makeshift backpack I know I can make it happen. I've actually tried it (successfully) with the backpack in the picture, was able to walk while had the mic positioned right below my mouth. So far I'm super enthusiastic because I really felt like I was taking a risk on this one. Mic worked as soon as I put batteries in and turned it on, I thought I was going to need expensive mics to get the sound and volume I wanted. As long as I am singing in tune I have nothing to worry about in terms of people hearing me sing and play away. It's great because I don't have to strain, meaning I can sing for hours if I want to (and need to, aka practice). I have no idea how the battery will do, so far so good. It took quite a few hours longer than the max time given to initially charge, I was afraid at first but when I came back from work it stopped blinking red. I am very satisfied with the product so far, assume all is well if you don't see this review changed.

Excellent little amp. Versatile, simple to use and with an appropriately named range of equalisation for guitar, voice etc. Rugid and robust but very portable for one person.

Sounds great and easy transport

Thos is perfect for busking, speaker is fairly loud instrument mic and Bluetooth for background teacks can be useful at the same time i fully recommend lets see if it lasts...

Very versatile speaker system.

The list is endless.. static noise, Bluetooth won’t connect with my device as it keeps asking for pin despite the manual saying no pin is required.. generic pins like 0000,1111 and 8888 won’t work and even amazon support does not have the pin. Mic is horrible, you literally need to put them on your lips to get it to sound slightly good. It’s a no from me.
