Got this to replace a dinosaur older receiver. The compact size & portability being a huge selling point. Never had any dealings w/ Pyle b4 but I was told they make good products. So for the price its really the only way to go for functionality & integration. I have plugged a laptop & My RodecasterPRO & use it as a Marshall amp indirect monitor & it holds up great! had some probs w/ the 1st unit they sent out but as soon as I reported it Pyle had another one in the mail b4 I could get the other one returned & its just a great purchase, Its very easy to setup & connect to various outputs.The cons are really few but kinda big. First, the remote is useless for most everything but unfortunately necessary if u use the radio function as the unit has poorly thought out tuner controls. Not even a universal will really work w/ as it doesnt have a motorized volume. And if your using an aux device of any kind, forget the unit remote for anything including volume. There's also no independent subwoofer level control which is mildly irritating. Oh, and the last thing is there were no instructions of any kind included so if your not familiar w/ the basic controls this unit has then you better get on YT cuz Pyle assumes.These things for Me personally were biggies & had I known I mightve purchased a diff unit tht had those qualities but Im not disappointed either. Its a sturdy lil thing & puts out some serious volumes w/ individual output volume controls, bluetooth functionality & the voice-over function (requiring a microphone they included as part of the buy but as of yet not received & I dnt think its normally included. thank god 4 promos!).Would I recommend this? Absolutely. The cons I mentioned were big for Me but maybe not 4 you & if thats the case then definately grab one of these & get to krankin' it up!*****************UPDATED REVIEW***********************The item in question gave out after a both a month & a half & was returned for an exchange of a working unit of diff brand. PYLE also failed to provide the free gift they promised when purchased. I clearly made a mistake & I would NOT recommend PYLE.
