Bluetooth Compact Amplifier Receiver

I live in a hilly area where FM is sketchy and only few stations come trough, but AM radio rules. Radio is great, and both AM and FM antennas work well. Interestingly, Yamaha seems to be the only one on the market with FM. On the amplifier side it works with an older JVC tape deck, but if I want to listen to vinyl, an additional preamp is needed on the way to the receiver, receiver's amplifier alone won't work. Once preamp is in place all sounds fine. The Bluetooth is the receive mode to play from the devices. This is not a send mode Bluetooth to Bluetooth speakers, as some users assume.

Terrific receiver/amplifier for the money. Great FM reception and the bluetooth range is very good. Very good sound quality. The unit is very easy to configure and operate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received a new compact audio receiver to try out at home. Here is now my review of the Pyle Home PTA24BT audio source amplifier. This device is quite compact in size. Although I have to say, the audio was great! You need to provide your own speakers though. This amplifier contains modern features such as Bluetooth Connectivity, for wireless music streaming, so that you can play content from your smartphone, or your computer. The device has multiple inputs, such as MP3 player, USB, micro SD connections. It also has a built-in Radio, though it’s FM only. There is one particular function that can be very useful. The “Talk-Over Function”. This is where you can activate the MIC talk-over function to temporarily pause the audio so you can make announcements or get people’s attention. I can see a lot of equalization controls, which is expected in these kind of devices. When I look at how the device actually looks, I wonder, is this something pleasing to see? I think so, the design is stylish, it’s sleek and minimalist, it would blend well in the background of a living room, an office, or entertainment area. Now, how does it actually sound? Well it is powerful in its output. It is 250-watt, so that is impressive, for the size. It’s important to notice that this receiver is “Karaoke Ready”, if you get a microphone (standard connection) you will take advantage of this. To finalize my review, I’ll say that this amplifier is reliable, and it has powerful performance. I have already chosen what area of my house it will be utilized.

I bought the receiver/amplifier 3 weeks ago and I am really glad I did.

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

Highly versatile and compact Bluetooth Receiver/Transmitter with built-in DAC. It has separate optical input and outputs and a dual-use coax line. The Bluetooth connectivity is solid but it might take a few tries with older Bluetooth equipment. Once you're connected, it stays connected. Highly recommended!

I was able to play Pandora & ITunes songs from my laptop using the Bluetooth connection on the amplifier.

Great sounding receiver ....AWESOME with my Bluetooth

I bought this receiver for the Bluetooth connectivity. I am now able to play my iTunes songs from the iTunes cloud through my iPhone and the new Receiver to our inside and / or outside speakers - all from my lounge chair. I am handicapped, so this is of great help to me.

I bought this recently and have really been pleased with this receiver. FM sensitivity is good, amplifier is powerful enough to do anything I need, and is easy to use.
