 THIS IS NOT A 120 WATT AMPLIFIER Mar 06, 2009
By D. Wentz
This amplifier is really a 40 watt amplifier with a peak output of 120 Watts. This is clearly a misrepresentation and the specifications are totally incomplete.

 Great Micrphone PA Jan 10, 2007
By Jerrod W. Cole
"Bean1981"
I took a gamble buying this without knowing a whole lot of info. It is a really good Amp/Mixer for small sound reinforcement PA systems. It has two 1/4inch mike inputs on the front and a selectable Phone or RCA input on the back. Perfect for a small bingo hut or auction house. I am using it to drive four 5 inch pa horns on the outside of a business.. and it works great. Good price. fast shipping.

Great cheap amp Jun 16, 2010
By V. fasano
OK, nobody is buying this amp because it's the best. But it IS cheap, and at least the one I received worked perfectly. It looks good enough to put on a shelf, and the volume indicator on the front is a good piece of visual bling.
My main objections to this unit are that the mic inputs are unbalanced on 1/4" jacks located on the front panel. I had some concern that with the relatively long mic cable I needed to use, I might start picking up the local radio station or general interference; happily, that was not the case, and with a quickie 1/4" to XLR adapter, the system worked perfectly. Others have commented that this unit does not approach the listed 120 watts, but is much closer to 40 watts; that's undoubtedly true, but it's also the cheapest available 40 watt amp with 70 volt outputs. The fact that it has 2 mic inputs as well as a front panel input for portable players - walkmen (remember walkmen?) or mp3 players makes for a nice install.
Would I rather have a Crown? Sure. And when Crown starts making similar units available for well under $100, I'll certainly go with them. Assuming this one doesn't die in the next year or so, it's great value for the money.

What a great amp for the price. Dec 03, 2007
By JackS

This is a good PA system for a small hall and the features are fine in this price range.
I use it in our church for a PA system in the other rooms in the church, like the kitchen area, office and nursery to pipe in the church service. It now runs 3 in-wall Radio Shack speakers that sound good too.
I can't speak to the reliability of the unit yet since I have only used it for a month though. It had the most power and features of anything I could find for anything near [...].

Good classroom amp Mar 04, 2012
By Mike Hathaway
I set up classrooms for an adult ed, preschoola and high schoola. This is my go to classroom amp. Paired with a couple $69 Yamaha indoor outdoor speakers mounted on each side of the projector screen. It is a good setup. Fills a classroom with sound. The units are basically indistructable and have been running for years. In the preschool we used to have those CD boom boxes die in less than a year from all the vibrations from kids bouncing around, these units have help extremely well. They can be left on for months without burning out. Put up with abuse extremely well.
We hook laptops, cdplayers and mp3 players to the back stereo input 99% of the time. We have also had teachers loose their voice and where able to plug a microphone into the front quickly to save the day.
The one piece that might be missing is some sort of floor based bass speaker. Which in a classroom environment is completely inapropriet because those things send base soundwaves through walls on the floor into other rooms, causing disruption.
I recomend this amp to many people. Ive purchased 30 of them so far and have not had any fail.
