How we ranked these pa speakers

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • Power weight 3
  • Woofer size weight 2
  • Mic input weight 1
  • Wireless mics included weight 1
  • Bluetooth weight 1

Buying advice: portable powered pa system

Match watts to the job

Watts describe output power. The Pyle PPHP1249KT gives 1800 watts peak and 900 watts RMS, so compare peak figures with peak figures and RMS figures with RMS figures. The MUSYSIC system gives 2000 watts overall, while the LyxPro SPA-8 gives 100 watts, so the gap between them is wide. Higher watts do not change how many inputs a speaker has.

Count inputs before buying

A microphone input matters for karaoke and announcements. The Pyle PPHP1249KT, the Pyle PPHP1544B, the MUSYSIC system and the LyxPro SPA-8 each have a microphone input. The MUSYSIC mixer adds a 6-channel layout with XLR and 1/4-inch sources, Bluetooth and USB playback. If two people speak at once, two wireless microphones beat one wired microphone.

Check what comes in the box

Stands, microphones and cables change the real setup. The Pyle PPHP1249KT box holds 2 stands, a wired microphone, a remote and a power cable. The MUSYSIC box holds 2 stands, 2 cables at 25 ft each and two wireless handheld microphones. Compare the included parts before buying.
