Under normal in home listening conditions both power meters and LEDs barely flicker if at all. Next to the large chrome-like left and right channel level controls are two LED meters for further relative display of input level with the top most red LEDs lit only when signal clipping occurs. Although subject to much skepticism by most …Yippee!! Alas my aging eyes need not suffer. developed various lines of electronics including car radios, amplifiers, tuners preamps and dee jay mixers along with public address components. Although they…as did other American manufacturers ceased building their products in the good ole U.S.A….the co. Over time Pyle branched out into electronics. Also…At that price…and at that time…nothing else could touch it and my first real home grown car system consisted of a pair of these black duo-coned blue foamed beauties mounted in the rather large rear deck of a 1966 Dodge Coronet. Still…the bass that an eight inch Pyle driver was capable of reproducing was phenomenal for ten bucks each back in those days. These high performing low cost transducers were known as Pyle drivers and definitely not to be confused with the wrestling move. In the early days they supplied some very reasonably priced raw loudspeakers to Lafayette Electronics. Headphones are optimally suited for analyzing tonal artifacts in a recording but completely distort distance perception.Pyle is a Brooklyn based company that has been in the audio business for well over four decades. "Headphones are completely unsuited for judging the spatial rendering of a stereo recording that is intended for loudspeaker playback. Money doesn't buy pleasure ever."-Alan Watts "It's enormously important to understand that there is absolutely no possibility of having any pleasure in life at all without skill. Unfortunately very few of our current genre of acoustic tests have had this kind of introspection." - Geddes It is the perceived sound quality that matters not the measured quality – unless that measurement has been scaled and correlated to subjective perception through valid psychoacoustic tests. "Blind reliance on measurements can be misleading ‐ one needs to tie those measurements back to subjective perception. The room response gives a picture of the steady state SPL, where sound generation and sound dissipation in the room have reached their equilibrium." -Linkwitz The resulting curves must not be taken as a 1:1 representation of what is heard as loudness at different frequencies. " The room response must be averaged to recognize trends in the summation of direct and reflected signals at the microphone. are welcome.Īny donations are much appreciated using : But that it delivers way, way above its cost point.Īs always, questions, comments, recommendations, etc. Not because it has great measured performance as far as noise and distortion. I am going to recommend the Pyle PT8000CH. The PT8000CH won't be my main choice for a high-performance 2-channel system but for surround duty and certainly multi-room amplification, it seems fine. You are paying almost nothing for this amplifier (the case alone could cost you this much!) yet you get way above a broken design. The amplifier protection and ability to handle complex loads is excellent. Distortion and noise are rather high though and rank well below our average. Massive power supply courtesy of dual toroidal transformers powers the 8 channels well, allowing the amplifier to meet spec. The build quality of this 8-channel amplifier seems quite substantial. Testing at 1 ohm resulted in momentary shutdown. At 2 ohm though, it starts to complain, dropping its output voltage by nearly half. This is quite robust! At both 4 and 8 ohms, the amp doesn't care if the load is reactive or not.
