I purchased this as a workshop amplifier. I wanted something compact but with sufficient power to achieve decent volume from a pair of Pioneer car speakers mounted to the wall. FM radio and an aux input were requirements, but Bluetooth was certainly welcome. This amp appeared to fit the bill and for very little money so I thought I'd give one a go.
The packaging is nothing special but you do get a power supply including a figure of eight power lead that fails to meet UK standards by omitting a fuse in the plug. It's a standard IEC C7 cable and easily replaced. The power supply itself works perfectly.
The device itself is surprisingly compact but well made, with a full aluminium casing containing two circuit boards packed with well specified components. Speaker connections are via spring terminals and you get RCA left / right inputs too. Operation couldn't be simpler and all functions work as expected, with low background noise.
FM radio is particularly good with minimal hiss and full stereo reception using the included wire antenna. Bluetooth connected first time to my iPhone with audible tones to indicate successful pairing. The sound over bluetooth is clear and free from dropouts and the transport buttons on the front of the unit and the remote will operate the connected bluetooth device too.
My only gripe concerns the volume control. There are two means of volume control on this unit; the front dial and the remote. The two are independent of one another. Holding the prev/next buttons on the front will also adjust the volume. This isn't surprising as in reality these amps are just generic modules bundled together in a box. But with what I'll call the 'software' volume on maximum (the default setting) the hardware dial is extremely sensitive. Unfortunately the 'software' volume is not stored when the unit is switched off, so though you can lower the 'software' volume and use the hardware dial to control the volume with more precision, you are required to do this each time you turn the unit on. Either that or use the hardware dial with care, which is how I operate it.
Over all however I would recommend this amp. It's not special when it comes to sound quality but it's perfectly good enough for small speakers, small rooms and workshops, and it is well specified for the price. I ams also impressed with the seller. I had a faulty unit at first but they quickly sent a replacement free of charge.
