A definite buy, but don't expect the stated wattage.
This is a nicely compact amplifier, with a lot of capabilities for a very good price. It is quite loud, but it's definitely not 2000 watts. Probably even less than 200, but it will be loud enough for most applications where a low cost amplifier will do the job. The possibilities for connecting to 12vDC or 110vAC allows for some portable applications, and while I haven't tested this on a 12v vehicle battery, it's possible that powering it in that manner could give more punch by providing the unit with more available current than is afforded by it's internal transformer.
The unit is nicely constructed. I even opened the box to peek inside, and the pieces to the unit are cleanly integrated. Given the low price, I expected a lot of sketchy wiring and hot-glue,but there's none to be found.
The quality of the sound is very nice, with quite a lot of range. If I had to describe it, it sounds very "clean" and well defined. There is a slight hiss at high volume levels, but it's only audible when nothing is playing and one happens to be listening for it. The lighted EQ is a 5-band per speaker, rater than a true 10-band, but it looks good and still gives plenty of adjustment. Once set it up for the speakers, the bass and treble knobs allow for fast and simple tweaking.
There's not a lot of documentation for the unit, but it's not hard to figure out with some experimentation. Some specifics on the mixer inputs, like whether the mic inputs are mono or stereo, would be handy.
There are so many features and possible applications for this little gem, that it would take several pages and a couple of days to do a proper review. But it can be summed up quickly by stating, if you have a use for a very reasonably priced, compact 2-channel unit, with any of the stated features, it's unlikely that you will be disappointed, unless you have impossibly high expectations for a unit in this price range.Read full review
