Pyle 1601X Power Amplifiers are a midrange product designed with the professional DJ in mind. It includes the features that a DJ would expect in a top quality amplifier, at a fraction of the price. The 1601X is a dual channel power amplifier, producing a maximum of 2200 watts to a single bridged speaker, or up to 1100 watts per channel in the standard stereo mode. This level of power is more than sufficient for nearly any club or concert hall, although DJs that regularly perform outdoor sets may wish to consider the 3300 watt PT-2001X or 5500 watt PT-4001X as possible alternatives.

The 1601X is equipped with all of the standard connections necessary for use with the most popular DJ equipment, such as both RCA and XLR inputs for your turntable or mixing board. Additionally, it features a grounding screw, useful with some older equipment that may produce excessive hum. Speaker connections are standard banana plugs, used by the majority of the world's speakers.

Along with an impressive array of functionality, the 1601X features the protective circuitry necessary to ensure that your investment is protected even under conditions that are less than optimal. Front mounted LEDs constantly notify the user of the signal levels that are being produced. These LEDs include a clipping indicator, which will flash occasionally under normal usage. If the volume level is high enough to cause possible speaker damage, however, the LED will remain solidly on, notifying you that the volume must be turned down. Additionally, the 1601X features a status light to notify you if the unit is in danger of overheating due to a blocked exhaust vent or improper installation. Under normal conditions, the 1601X's aluminum heat sink and variable speed internal cooling fan are more than able to keep the unit operating within the correct temperature range. The unit is also protected against electrical faults, and will automatically disengage the amplifier channels to prevent damage in the event of a power surge or brownout.

After focusing exclusively on the car and marine audio markets for many years, Pyle Audio has built a strong reputation for itself among enthusiasts as one of the most reliable names on the market in terms of raw wattage per dollar spent. This philosophy has remained with Pyle as they have expanded into other markets, and today Pyle manufactures equipment for the DJ and professional audio markets with that same combination of power and price.

Pyle PT1201X Power Amplifiers are designed especially for use by DJs, although others may find that the myriad of features provided will be of use to them, as well. The PT1201X is a two channel power amplifier, capable of producing a maximum of 1400 watts when driving a single bridged amplification channel, or up to 700 watts per channel in standard stereo operation.

For DJs, the amplifier features a standard unbalanced (RCA) set of inputs long with balanced (XLR) ones. The extra set of inputs allow the PT1201X to be used with the equipment that you have now, and it can still be your amplifier of choice after you upgrade.

To spare the ears of your audience, the PT1201X features turn-on delay, a feature not often found in power amplifiers within this price range. With turn-on delay, the speakers connected to the PT1201X will be momentarily muted when the unit is turned on. This eliminates the pops and thumps that are common with other amplifiers when the owner forgets to reduce the volume when turning the amp on. Additionally, the PT1201X is equipped with a full array of protective circuitry, enabling the unit to shut down before damage can occur in the event of a power surge, spike, or brownout. The unit is protected by a single variable speed internal cooling fan, and able to shut down automatically if overheating occurs due to a blocked vent or improper installation.

The PT1201X is the thinnest amplifier from the PT1201X-4001X series, at just under 3.5 inches, and it is extremely easy to store and transport at just 18.7 pounds. Although the power level should be sufficient for a wide variety of performance situations, DJs who regularly entertain at outdoor events may wish to consider the 3300 watt PT-2001X or 5500 watt PT-4001X as possible alternatives. Both amplifiers offer the same features that DJs will love, with similarly affordable prices.

Over its many years of operation, Pyle Audio has, until recently, been exclusively a provider of high end audio equipment for car and marine use. Secure in its market position of providing perhaps the highest watt per dollar ratio available, Pyle has set out to conquer the word of pro audio with its series of power amplifiers for bands, DJs, studios, and home theaters.

Pyle PT1201X Power Amplifiers - Summary:
