300 watts per channel (speaker) total 600 watts per description...not sure to trust that after everything else listed below.In the page 1 pdf description preceded after a comma, microphone is preceded by (600 watts). Either poster who created the description for the Amazon post deliberately used wrong grammar (like I always do...not) to mislead one into thinking this unit is 300 watts per channel, or the factory was right in the factory pdf and it's not.Bad design. Channels 5 through 8 cannot be used when MP3 feature is chosen, they get cancelled out.Making this a 4 channel board depending on use. Oh the Games people play!"Compact" describes this unit better than "portable". Any thing can be portable...almost...grin.It does have a clean sound, with no ground-plane sounds in my home. In the field, haven't tested yet.Not DJ quality mechanically/build wise/feature wise. No headphone jack, WHAT?Worst!! **model out of production.No individual line/slide pot "MUTE" switches...no ability to cue anything plugged into the boards separate inputs. So the description is deceiving. par for the course of the 2023 world right now...deception.Only plays MP3, MP3pro, WMA file extensions via USB port or SD port...Not a MP4 player. Play any file you want via blue-tooth connection though.*Not karaoke per se, but built in blue-tooth or MPE reader/player/USB (you can't any of the four at the same time). It is a nice feature to control your MP3's either from a device or a SD card in the built in SD card slot.No remote for card slot of USB song list control.The player's screen does show song choice, presently cued, or now playing, of selected MP3/WMA, but you can't cue up songs to segue with the player...making it NOT a DJ system at all. (Maybe DJ was the nickname of one of the Pyle employees??? grin).LED's in speakers cannot be turned off individually and are powered through the speaker cables from the mixer 1/4 inch amp outputs. They only come on when the dB level gets above 35dB output.Therefore if your grandkids want to mesmerize Grandma with the lights and her choice song, along with their excellent signing talents, you'll have to blow her ear drums out in the process.tech wise>>> (I didn't check the voltage/ohm yet on the output during use but will, questioning whether the speakers are limited to working with the Pyle system board only...assuming they are) I dug around the internet for hours and found a pdf limited in knowledge to everything, but it's information was on the 150 watt pet channel model, not in production now either.)I Bought this not knowing Pyle took this out of production (my bad) (can't tell what year, no pdf's available on web site, not listed in stock, so this is left over discontinued warehouse stock).Gave it 4 stars on the portability. Speaker Stands have no slip covers for protection, odd shape and cannot be stacked re storage to safe space, and, neither do the 3 star quality assembled speaker stands have covers.Non-pinned Speaker-stand "full height" with speaker mounted is just over 6 ft to the top of the speaker, so the sound projects right into the listener's face. Wobbly due to the weight of the speakers. Sub par construction.The extremely light weight, thin mill thickness, aluminum, "speaker stands", are more of a cheap mic stand quality (tri-pod, and horizontal pressure-knob hold the height of the telescoping upright for the speaker in place. Under some higher DB levels and SUB SPEAKER OUTPUT FREQUENCIES, one of the speakers started to slide down on it's own after a few minutes of use.4 stars for sound quality only because I used a different mic (PylePro58) instead. (the included mic is sub standard and really makes the first impression of this system look cheap, Pyle's efforts included, then worse because their website has no documentation available...I'm repeating that!! again and again).Amazon did not include a pdf listed in the description.The included switched mic is plastic, hollow (increases feedback), and gives plenty of feedback at higher dB levels, where the PylePro58's actually could handle the system and any volume level. Other good Mic's worked fine with minimal feedback even in the direct output path of the Pyle 10" speakers at 95dB...(above that dB level would not be normal anyway, unless you are a deaf musician, but just a test-comparison).The mixer is fine and I would not call it a DJ system, but a powered sound system with built in USB/MP3 and Bluetooth connection capabilities.2 EQ's ( treble and bass) on each xlr channel, including echo-depth adjust for line 1-4 only. 5 band EQ for overall mix of amp output.Did I say 'No headphone jack!???"
