Frequently Asked Questions - PCM20A Pyle

How to connect my smartphone via Bluetooth?

Turn on the amplifier, press the BT/Line button on the front panel. On your smartphone, enable Bluetooth, search for devices and select PYLEUSA. Once connected, you will hear a voice message.

What speaker impedance can I use?

You can connect 4, 8 or 16 ohm speakers. Total impedance must be calculated not to exceed 8 ohms in parallel. Use appropriate terminals (COM and 8 Ohm, 25 V or 70 V with transformers).

How to use the talkover function (mic priority)?

Plug your mic into the MIC 1 input. When you speak into the mic, the audio signal from the auxiliary input is automatically attenuated by -40 dB, giving priority to your voice.

Can I charge my phone via the USB port?

Yes, the front USB port allows charging smartphones only. It does not play audio files from a USB drive.

How to adjust bass and treble?

Use the BASS and TREBLE knobs on the front panel. They offer a +/-10 dB adjustment range at 100 Hz for bass and at 10 kHz for treble.

What to do if the amplifier does not turn on?

Check the power cable and outlet. Make sure the voltage selector is in the correct position (120V or 240V). If the fuse has blown, replace it with a fuse of the same rating (T1.2AL for 110-120V, T0.63AL for 220-240V).

How to connect multiple speakers?

You can connect up to 4 speakers in series/parallel. Calculate the total impedance to be 8 ohms. For example, two 16 ohm speakers in series give 8 ohms. Use COM and 8 Ohm terminals.

How to use the FM radio?

Connect the provided FM antenna to the ANT FM connector on the rear. Press the MODE button to select the FM source. Use the PREV/NEXT buttons or the remote control to search for stations.

What does the 61 dB mic attenuation mean?

This corresponds to the maximum gain reduction applied to the microphone when no signal is present. This helps avoid background noise.

How to clean the amplifier?

Turn off and unplug the device. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Never use solvents, chemicals, or harsh detergents.

SPEAKER CONNECTION

One or more speakers (4, 8 or 16 Ohms) can be connected to the amplifier with or without transformers. However, before you connect any speakers to the amplifier, the total impedance must be calculated in order to avoid damage to the amplifier. A total speaker impedance greater than 8 Ohms or less than 8 Ohms can cause this damage to occur.

SYSTEM 1: Single Speaker System

NOTE: Connect the speaker (+) to the amplifier's 8-Ohm terminal.

(8Ω SPEAKER)

SYSTEM 2 : Two (or more) Speakers in Series

NOTE: Connect the speaker (+) to the amplifier's 8-Ohm terminal, depending on the TOTAL IMPEDANCE of the two speakers. If each speaker has an impedance of 4-Ohm, the total speaker impedance in this series configuration is 8 ohms.

SYSTEM 3 : Two (or more) Speakers in Parallel

NOTE: Connect the speaker (+) to the amplifier's 8-Ohm terminal, depending on the TOTAL IMPEDANCE of the two speakers. If each speaker has an impedance of 16-Ohm, the total speaker impedance in this series configuration is 8 ohms.

TWO SPEAKERS IN PARALLEL

SYSTEM 4: Four Speakers in Series and Parallel

NOTE: Although the description above is for connecting two series pairs of 8 Ohms speakers in a parallel hook up, you may also select to combine a series pair and a parallel pair in a parallel hook up, simply be sure you have calculated the total impedance, and attach the speaker (+) circuit wire to the proper amp terminal.

FOUR SPEAKERS IN SERIES / PARALLEL COMBINATION

SYSTEM 5: Connecting Speakers with Transformers

NOTE: When the 25V or 70V constant line voltages are used, a line matching transformer must be used with each speaker. All transformers must be connected in parallel, never connect line transformers in series.

SPEAKER CONNECTION

External devices which have a built-in Wireless BT feature can be connected to this amplifier wirelessly to play through the amplifier's speakers. If your amp is connected to speakers, you will hear audible tones which will help for connecting.

1. At first be sure that the amplifier is powered on, and turn the volume to low. Please remember to connect the BT Antenna at the back panel for better receiving signal

2. Press the BT/Line button switch in on the front panel, you will hear the voice "POWER ON" and also "PAIRING", and then the unit is automatically ready to pair with your external device.

3. Turn ON the BT on your external device.

4. Search for available Wireless BT devices and make sure to be within range of your amp, and wait for your device to select "PYLEUSA" on the pairing devices lists of Wireless BT networks.

5. Once connected you will hear a voice say, "Your Device is Connected", then the BT pairing is successful and your have established a Wireless BT connection.
6. You can now play music on your external device through the amplifier.
