Pyle Audio has built a highly respected name for itself over a number of years of producing equipment for the car and marine audio industries. With their reputation in these fields assured, Pyle has recently expanded its product offerings to include power amplifiers for DJs, performing musicians, and home stereos and theaters. In a very short time, Pyle has become a top name in the pro audio industry, and Pyle PT6800 Power Amplifiers, delivering a whopping maximum of 6000 watts to a single bridged speaker, are certain to further solidify Pyle's reputation as the dominant name in the industry in terms of providing the most wattage per dollar spent.

In addition to its maximum of 6000 watts to a single bridged speaker, the PT6800 can output a maximum of 3000 watts per channel in standard dual channel operation. Whether you are looking for an amplifier that can drive the most powerful of subwoofers or one that can power your band through its next all day outdoor concert event, the PT6800 can do it. It features the standard XLR inputs, along with something that is sure to please many DJs: RCA inputs, which are compatible with nearly any turntable, CD deck, or mixer. If the PT6800 is not being used to power a subwoofer, the rear mounted bass roll-off switch is sure to please. Using the switch, users can set a roll-off point at either 30 or 50 Hz, and the unit will automatically attenuate all frequencies that are below this level. This feature protects certain speakers that are unable to reproduce subsonic bass frequencies, especially at 3000 watts per channel.

Along with speaker protection, the PT6800 features a full complement of internal protective circuitry. The unit is cooled by an aluminum heat sink and dual variable speed fans. The fans quickly draw hot air out of the amplifier, preventing components from being damaged. If heat ever becomes too great of an issue due to a blocked vent or improper installation, the PT6800 will automatically shut itself down before the excessive heat can cause damage. This thermal protection is further augmented by the fact that the unit is capable of shutting down to prevent damage in the event of an electrical problem. During normal operation, multiple signal level LEDs are present to give the user an idea of their relative volume level. If the unit is being driven too hard, a clipping notification LED on the front of the unit will light up, alerting the user of the fact that the volume needs to be decreased to prevent blown speakers.

Pyle PT6800 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Produces a maximum of 6000 watts to a single bridged channel, or 3000 watts per channel in stereo mode
* Selectable bass roll-off prevents subsonic frequency damage to speakers
* XLR and RCA inputs increase compatibility with a wide variety of pro audio equipment

Pyle PT5800 Power Amplifiers are an all-purpose offering, with features that are likely to make almost all potential customers happy, at a price far lower than they might expect. The PT5800 is a dual channel power amplifier, capable of producing a mammoth 5000 watts to a single bridged speaker or up to 2500 watts per channel in conventional dual channel operation. This level of potential volume is more than enough to drive a booming subwoofer or power a band through nearly any outdoor show. It is the less powerful of the two amplifiers in the series, however; for the most demanding applications, the 6000 watt PT6800 is also well worth considering.

With up to 5000 watts available to power your speakers, it is highly important to consider the safety of those speakers for your specific application. For example, midrange speakers may be unable to handle all of the subsonic frequencies that may be produced by some instruments or dance recordings. Therefore, if the PT5800 is not being used to drive a subwoofer, the unit provides a bass frequency cutoff switch that can be set to either 30 or 50 Hz. This will attenuate all sounds below the chosen frequency, protecting speakers from the frequency ranges that they can not reproduce. Additionally, making the PT5800 especially useful for DJs are the RCA input jacks, which many power amplifiers forego. For instrumentalists, however, XLR inputs are also included.

As would be expected from a power amplifier of this quality, the unit is kept cool internally by a heat sink and variable speed fan. It is also equipped with the ability to disable amplification channels automatically to prevent damage in the event of a power surge or other electrical fault. Rounding out the PT5800's contingent of protective mechanisms is a clipping LED positioned on the front of the unit. Although this LED may flash from time to time during normal operation, speaker damage will become a serious concern if the LED is ever lit solidly. It is included to notify the user when they must decrease their volume to avoid blown speakers.

In recent years, Pyle Audio has done an admirable job of making its name known among audio professionals in a variety of different fields. Performing musicians, installed sound engineers, and DJs, along with home stereo and theater enthusiasts, all have a Pyle power amplifier that directly serves their purpose.

Pyle PT5800 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
