Features:
Upfront, you may think the Pyle-Pro PWMA930I is a karaoke system but it is actually not designed for karaoke. The truth is that it is a portable speaker and PA system with high power output that can double as a karaoke player for large gatherings or parties. The multiple input points allow it to act as such but don’t get your hopes high of streaming video from this thing onto the screen unless you use an external CD or DVD player connected to it and in turn with the television. Alternatively, if your iPod can display lyrics from karaoke tracks then you could use it as a karaoke machine. Other than this, it does appear to be a high quality professional PA system with decent construction and durability.
Portability:
No complaints here, Pylo-Pro went the whole nine yards in ensuring portability with castor wheels, collapsible handle and a design that makes it easy to drag behind. Even the wireless nature of the microphones aid it in this respect although you have to carry an iPod or CD player to play karaoke tracks.
Additional Buyer’s Information:
While the docking mechanism is for iPods, it will not interface with iPhones and iTouch devices or any other mp3 player. You will have to use the 3.5mm input to use these devices. Also, for karaoke, the tracks must be devoid of lyrics as the machine will not remove them and you have to use a CD player to hook with a television so it isn’t a self-sufficient professional karaoke player.
The hissing sound that many reviewers have observed is most evident when the speakers are on at high volume without any music on.
