In only a short time since entering the field of professional audio, Pyle Audio has earned much acclaim for the equipment that it has provided to bands, DJs, and front of house sound engineers. The secret is out: power amplifiers produced by Pyle offer one of the highest watt per dollar ratios to be found anywhere in live and installed sound applications. Pyle PQ3000 Power Amplifiers are a midrange to high end product offering, providing a maximum bridged output of 2200 watts to power you through your next gig or DJ set.

In addition to the 2200 watts offered in bridged mono mode, the PQ3000 delivers a maximum of 1000 watts per stereo channel when put into standard dual channel operation. This level of power is sufficient to drive a subwoofer, or to send a whole band's sound careening to the back rows of almost any medium to large concert venue. For extremely large or outdoor venues, performers may wish to consider operating multiple PQ3000 amplifiers in tandem, or think about the 5500 watt PT4001X as an alternative.

The PQ3000 features 8 signal level LEDs for each amplifier channel, along with a clipping LED to notify you if your input gain level needs to be decreased in order to prevent damage. In addition to the speaker protection offered by the PQ3000, you can also power your way through your concert sets without fear that the unit will fail due to overheating, thanks to the pair of variable speed internal cooling fans, which automatically ramp up in power when more cool air needs to be drawn through the amplifier. The utmost in thermal efficiency would be useless if the PQ3000 failed due to a power surge, however, which is why the unit is also equipped with internal protective circuitry against a wide variety of electrical fault conditiions. If the electrical tolerance of the amplifier is exceeded for any reason, the PQ3000 will automatically shut down to prevent damage to the internal components. It is also proteced by a 30 day warranty. During the first 30 days after purchased, it is guaranteed by Pyle not to suffer from equipment failure or any defects in workmanship. Both of these are extremely unlikely, however, given Pyle's stellar track record for quality, and the solid, all steel rackmount construction of the PQ3000.

Pyle PQ3000 Buying Options

The PQ2000 is a dual channel stereo power amplifier, rated for a maximim output of 1800 watts when operated in mono bridged mode. Splitting the amplifier into its standard two channels, the power maximum becomes 800 watts per channel with a 4 ohm speaker load. This level of power is perfect for a wide variety of applications. In addition to being suitable for an instrumentalist or DJ, the amplifier also provides enough power to drive a subwoofer, or to be used in installed sound applications such as at a place of worship. very large or outdoor venues, however, may wish to consider the more powerful PQ3000, capable of producing up to 2200 watts in bridged mono mode.

With perhaps the highest watt per dollar ratio in the power amplifier arena, buyers might be surprised to learn upon unpacking the PQ3000 just how solid it feels in the hands. Its all steel rackmount construction is designed to withstand the harshest touring environments, and its dual variable speed cooling fans help to ensure that the unit remains within the proper operating temperatures at all times.

When making an investment in professional audio equipment, it is imperative that you know you equipment will last as long as you need it to. Pyle PQ2000 Power Amplifiers are each backed by a 30 day warranty against malfunctions or any defects of workmanship. Additionally, the unit features a level of fault protection that would be expected in far more expensive equipment. Front mounted LEDs notify the user of the decibel levels that they are producing at all times. If there is enough volume for the speakers to be in danger of clipping, a warning light will notify you that the volume level needs to be reduced to avoid causing damage to your speakers.

Even with proper installation, it is impossible to account for the electrical conditions of the venues in which you perform. The PQ2000 is protected against a wide array of electrical faults, and will shut down automatically if there is danger to the internal circuitry. Additionally, the PQ2000's switching power supply ensures that the amplifier will be ready to perform when you are, no matter where your travels might take you.

Pyle PQ2000 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Up to 1800 watts of power in bridged mode
* Highest watt per dollar ratio in the industry
* Protective circuitry keeps the amplifier from being damaged due to fault conditions

Pyle PQ1000 Power Amplifiers are a midrange offering for bands, DJs, or installed sound applications, providing up to 800 watts when bridged and put into mono operation. This level of power is appropriate for performances at most small or medium concert venues. Additionally, the PQ1000 is a perfect solution for anyone seeking to provide in-house audio for a night club, church, meeting hall, or other place where sound reinforcement is needed.

The PQ1000 features a switching power supply, allowing it to function virtually anywhere your travels might take you. It is cooled by two variable speed fans, and thanks to its all steel rackmount construction, feels extremely solid.

The PQ1000 provides the level of sound quality that fans of Pyle's car audio systems around the world have come to expect: clean and accurate, with thundering bass and sparkling highs.

Electrical issues and distortion can be the bane of a power amplifier owner's existence, due to the speaker and circuit damage that they can cause. Thankfully, the PQ1000 is well protected against both of these. In the event of an electrical fault, the system will quickly disable the amplifier channels to prevent any permanent internal damage. To prevent distortion and possible speaker damage, a set of front-mounted LEDs notify the user of current volume levels, and clipping. If the clipping LED is lit or flashing, you will know that you have set your input levels too high and must reduce them to avoid blowing a speaker.

Along with these other features, any discussion of Pyle PQ1000 Power Amplifiers would be incomplete without a mention of the price.
