Pyle PTA1000 Power Amps Review

Posted by admin in Pyle on August 20th, 2009

Pyle PTA1000 Power Amplifiers are an entry level product, suited particularly well to in house sound applications such as in bars, clubs, and churches, as well as for bands and DJs that frequently play engagements at small venues.

The Pyle PTA1000 is capable of producing a maximum power of 1400 watts, in mono bridged operation. It is cooled by a dual-speed DC fan, which is capable of operating in near silence when the amplifier is operating at low volumes, or ramping up for maximum cooling when necessary. It is equipped with a switchable power supply, allowing it to operate on virtually any power outlet in the world, with the proper adapters. The unit is equally as capable at home as it is on the stage, providing the kind of sound quality demanded by audiophiles: punchy bass, crisp highs, and able to reproduce the most difficult transients without clipping.

In addition to providing perhaps the highest wattage per dollar ratio available today, the PTA1000 is also equipped with a full array of status LEDs to notify the user if any fault conditions have occurred. For example, if the input volume is too high, a clipping LED on the front of the unit will automatically light up to notify the user that the volume level must be turned down immediately to prevent damage. The unit is also protected against a wide variety of electrical faults, and able to automatically shut down in the event of a power issue, before permanent damage can occur.

The PTA1000 is built with the kind of solid construction that one would expect of a much more expensive power amplifier. When properly installed in the recommended rackmount configuration and given adequate cooling space, it can reasonably be expected to deliver many years of solid performance. All Pyle products are guaranteed for one year, and will be replaced or repaired in the event of any workmanship defects or equipment failure during that time.

Pyle Audio is a company that, up until recently, was solely a producer of amplification equipment for car audio, and an extremely well respected one at that. With its recent foray into the world of professional audio, Pyle has managed to bring its name into the stages and dance clubs of the world.
