Outdoor Bluetooth Audio Receiver Amplifier

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.

I had an old set of outdoor speakers that I thought sounded great until I installed the BOSE 251s. The old outdoor speakers used to be powered by my old receiver/amplifier, but I replaced the receiver with the BOSE Soundtouch SA-5 Amplifier, and the 251s were the next logical upgrade. The music fills the deck and backyard with beautiful claer sound. I am very happy with the 251s combined with the SA-5 Amplifier.

I use the Aluratek ABC02F Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Transmitter connected to the Optical Audio output on my Sony TV. It pairs with a set of Sony Bluetooth earbuds to provide a separate channel for audio for my aging ears while the TV's audio continues to function independently for the rest of the family. The optical connection to the TV was simple and the ABC02F paired quickly and easily to the Sony Earbuds. The ABC02F is plugged into a USB port on the TV and is always on so the earbuds are reconnected within the time it takes to remove them from their charger/case and insert them into the ear.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Pyle Bluetooth home audio amplifier is excellent. Easy to set up and has great sound and bass. I hooked it up to my record player and it works wonderfully!

I bought the Alluratek to connect Bluetooth head phones and an audio amplifier to a TV that has only one optical audio port.  The amplifier connection is through an external Bluetooth receiver.  I havent used the Alluratek for connecting two receivers simultaneously.

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

I was using an inexpensive receiver and did not know I was missing so much in the Audio Spectrum. Now everything is top notch! The answer to my Bluetooth Problems.

Interface is simple and basic. Advanced settings are not available in the OSD so you have to use the receiver's. Audio over Bluetooth is good but is not recommended if you care about sound quality (default codec is SBC, AAC if you pair from the phone directly) . You can manually config your audio setup but configurations are not that advanced. Build quality is excellent, didn't expect the price.
