This system is ideal for parties, outdoor events, public speaking, and musical performances, providing a comprehensive solution for audio playback and live sound reinforcement.
At its core, the PWMA850UFM functions as a robust portable PA system, capable of delivering clear and powerful audio. It features an 8-inch subwoofer, ensuring a rich and deep bass response, complemented by a tweeter for crisp highs. The system incorporates a full-featured 3-channel mixer, allowing users to blend multiple audio sources simultaneously.

For modern connectivity, the unit provides a 3.5mm auxiliary input line, complete with a cable, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of MP3 players and devices with headphone outputs. Furthermore, the USB port is not just for playback; it also provides a 5V 1A charge, allowing users to power or charge their smartphones, MP3 players, and other small electronic devices directly from the unit.
The PWMA850UFM is designed for live performance and vocal applications, featuring two 1/4" microphone inputs. This allows for simultaneous use of two wired microphones, making it suitable for duets, interviews, or situations requiring multiple speakers.

Beyond its audio capabilities, the "disc jam" lives up to its name with integrated flashing disco lights. These lights can be turned on or off, adding a dynamic visual element to any event and enhancing the party atmosphere. The ported enclosure design further contributes to the system's audio performance by enhancing bass response.
The unit is highly portable, equipped with heavy-duty handles and wheels, making it easy to transport to various locations. Its built-in rechargeable battery provides power for use in areas without access to an AC outlet, offering true portability. For more permanent setups, the system includes a 35mm speaker stand mount, allowing it to be elevated for optimal sound dispersion.
Operating the PWMA850UFM is straightforward, designed for ease of use by individuals with varying levels of technical expertise.
Powering the Unit: The system offers flexible power options. It can be powered directly from an AC outlet using the provided power cable. Before operation, users should confirm that the voltage provided matches the unit's power switch setting to prevent damage. Alternatively, the built-in rechargeable battery allows for cordless operation. The unit features indicators for battery status: a Low Voltage Indicator signals when charging is needed, and a Full Voltage Indicator confirms when the battery is fully charged. When charging, a recharge indicator will flash continuously, ceasing once the battery is full. Music can be played even while the unit is charging. For optimal battery life, it's recommended to recharge the battery every two months for 8-10 hours if the unit is not used for an extended period.
Microphone Usage: To use the VHF wireless microphone, two AA 1.5V batteries must be inserted. The power switch on the microphone should be set to the ON position. The system's power indicator will flash once, and an RD indicator will light up green, confirming the wireless microphone is active. Users can then adjust the Volume, Echo, Treble, and Bass controls on the main unit to achieve the desired sound and prevent feedback. A constantly lit power indicator on the wireless microphone signals low battery, prompting a replacement. For wired microphones, simply plug them into the dedicated 1/4" input jacks. The system supports two wired microphones simultaneously. Echo controls can be adjusted for preference, and individual volume levels for each microphone can be set. If feedback occurs, lowering the volume level is advised.
Instrument Connectivity: Musicians can easily connect a guitar using an unbalanced 1/4" cable into the guitar input jack. The guitar's volume can then be controlled independently. Similarly, other instruments can be connected via the 1/4" drum input.
Media Playback: The USB and SD/MMC card readers allow for direct playback of audio files. The display screen shows the number of songs, play time, and FM radio frequency, providing useful information during playback. The function control buttons (input/prev(CH-), P/P(scan), next(CH+), VOL-/VOL+) allow for easy navigation through tracks, radio stations, and volume adjustments.
Disco Lights: The flashing disco lights can be activated or deactivated with a dedicated ON/OFF switch, allowing users to control the visual ambiance as needed.
Portability: The integrated heavy-duty handles and wheels significantly enhance the system's portability, making it easy to roll the unit to different locations.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the PWMA850UFM.
Power Handling: Users must always use the correct power supply as indicated by the unit's power switch and label. When handling the power cable, it's crucial to hold the plug firmly when inserting or removing it from sockets, rather than pulling the cable itself.
Cleaning: The unit should be cleaned using gentle cleaners. Volatile or dangerous chemical cleaners such as toluene, alcohol, or gasoline should be avoided as they can damage the unit's surfaces or internal components.
Environmental Considerations: To prevent overheating, the unit should always be kept in a well-ventilated environment and away from direct sunlight. It is also important to protect the unit from moisture and rain to prevent electrical damage.
Internal Access: Users are strongly advised not to open the chassis of the unit. Attempting to access internal components is extremely dangerous and can lead to electric shock or damage to the device. If the unit malfunctions, it should be unplugged immediately, and Pyle customer support should be contacted for assistance rather than attempting self-repair.
Battery Care: For the built-in rechargeable battery, regular recharging every two months for 8-10 hours is recommended if the unit is stored for extended periods without use. This helps maintain battery health and extends its overall lifespan.
By adhering to these usage and maintenance guidelines, users can ensure a safe, enjoyable, and long-lasting experience with their Pyle PWMA850UFM "disc jam" portable PA speaker system.
