25W Outdoor Marine Amp/Receiver OSD-MA2

In service for 4 seasons with no problems except corrosion due to chorine gas it is in a pool house. corrosion on terminals which required cleaning annually. Power supply failed first month. Was replaced but am now using a power supply from another application which has been fine. Sound is good. Doing the job a good buy.. it also stays in the pool house off season in subfreezing temps.

It could use a tone control. Also the tuner is a bit clunky. Still having trouble saving the channel presets. Power is plenty adequate. I use it in a 20' x 32' barn with a 12' ceiling. Overall, the unit is certainly worth the price. I use a power strip to turn it on and off, rather than the awkward rear power switch.

This has been simple to setup and use. It has enough power to allow me to listen to music as I do outside chores in our 2 acre back yard. It sounds great when we are hanging within 100 feet of the speakers.

I would give this amp five stars if this weren't my *third* one in the past couple of years: the power brick keeps dying. This is without my leaving it outside during wet weather! Most disappointing. Except for that extreme annoyance, the amp itself does a fine job with the two below-ground speakers I have in my small back yard.

To be fair, I bought this item strictly as a stopgap measure as I wanted to use my patio speakers for the summer, and couldn't convince my wife that a $600 Sonos-Amp was the way to go. For the sale price, the unit is a reasonable unit. It lacks power and punch even with my highly efficient outdoor speakers. Build quality is mediocre at best, but functional. Ergonomics on the front panel are non-existent, and the mix of RCA speaker terminals, and mixed RCA and mini-jack inputs make for confusing source selection for the non- tech savvy. I'm still fairly impressed with the unit as a cheap stopgap in spite of all its shortcomings.

Perfect item. Exactly what I needed at the right price.

I bought this love it. Hooked it up to some rock speakers. It's perfect everyone loves it.

Installed this amp as an outdoor unit to listen to AM/FM and aux input from airplay system (Apple iOS devices via wi-fi). Works great, no problems on setup. A remote option would be nice, but not necessary since this is taking input mainly from iPhones/iPads that can control volume output.

I received the unit with a bad power supply, but e-mailed in and was sent a replacement. Thank you! Works fine so far, but wish it had better receiption for radio. It also seems to run hot, but no problems so far, or until my kids crank it up. Then will see how it holds up! I like it for the money but would pay more for an upgraded unit with more amps and better reception. Overall good buy!

Great poolside product. Short antenna supplied resulted in poor reception - but just replaced with a longer piece of wire for great reception. Original power supply transformer failed in only two weeks, however, had a new one within 2 days of notifying OSD. No issues now.

USED AS PRIMARY RECEIVER FOR OUTDOOR SOUND SYSTEM THAT IS HOOKED UP TO MULTI SPEAKER AMP DRIVING 6 WIRED AND 2 WIRELESS SPEAKERS.

Used in my BBQ area, stored outside. Provides audio entertainment. I also purchased four (4) outdoor rock speakers from OSD to use with this unit......great sound! I have received numerous compliments on sound from this system.

yes this was a gift! to myself!. wow! this product was excactly what i was in the market for and better yet i ordered it on monday and got it on tuesday with free shipping. AMAZING! the best internet purchase experience of my life! it gets better! not only do i NOT need to get wires for the speakers(speaker wires included) but i also received an ipod port and cable! amazing

This was what my deck needed, it is small and easy to use

Got a free pair of outdoor speakers when I bought my home theater system and just needed a simple amp to use them with my iPod. This fit the bill. I was confused at first looking at the pictures how the speakers hook up but it comes with a short RCA to normal speaker wire....wire.

I bought this to use on the patio, but didn't really know what to expect. I was quite pleased to have both radio and Ipod capabilities, and with great sound too.

Exactly what I was looking for, the final peice to my outdoor Home Theater!! Water resistance but dont be foolish. Great Item with great features.

This is a great little box for the pool or patio. Easy to setup and has good reception and easy controls. The only issue is see, is that the radio itself is weather proof but, the ac power transformer is not. I purchased a small plastic box and enclosed the transfomer. Easy solution.

If you're looking for an outdoor only receiver, this is a great deal. We set it up outside our hot tub and purchased the AP390 Outdoor 3" Patio Speakers upon recommendation from OSD. The receiver produces enough power for background listening and lower volumes, but this receiver doesn't have a lot of power if you want to play your music loud. For us, this is perfect because we don't want to make our neighbors mad with loud music and we can hear it perfectly well in the tub. The controls are easy to use and radio reception is good. I will say that you could hook it up to slightly larger speakers than the ones we got, as I tested it on some bigger speakers I had. Being weather resistant, it works well mounted outside under an overhang which blocks direct exposure to rain. I'm not saying you couldn't get a much better system for a lot more money, but for the price, you can't go wrong. All in all, its the perfect system for us around the hot tub and for only $120, you can't beat it!

I wanted music on my screened in porch, but already have the DVD player in the house which was not multi-room, and didn't really feel like upgrading that. So I searched and searched for something for outdoor. I would have purchased this at twice the price. Plug it in, wire the speakers to the provided leads, plug in the iPod and done. I am pushing two in-ceiling speakers in a 15 X 15 screened porch, and it more than sufficient. Even includes the cord to plug in the iPod. Bought a basket for $9 to put it in so all the cords don't show.... outdoor stereo for cheap!

Finding an Outdoor Receiver is a challenge, especially a receiver with all of the inputs this one has. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a solution for stand alone outdoor entertainment. I had many positive comments on this receiver from friends gathering for cookouts. With the improved FM Antenna I purchased, I am much more satisfied with my purchase of this receiver.

I recently ordered the small MA2 exterior amp and a pair of 6 inch speakers for under my screen porch. The amp and speakers sounded great, so I went back to OSD for 2 of the planter speakers for my pool deck also sound great. I was real impressed how fast shiping was, 5 days on both orders and I'm on the east cost.

Sounds surprisingly decent for the price. Very simple to set up and even comes with all of the input and output cables. Overall, I have been very pleased. The only downside is the FM reception with the little antenna is pretty weak.

I spent quite awhile looking for an outdoor system for my gazebo. I'm picky about electronics so, I looked hard and long at setting up a marine stereo based system. I ultimately came back to this unit for its simplicity and low cost. At first, the case seemed too light weight and the interface too basic to me. I hooked it up to rock speakers and was amazed at the strong sub-like bass and general output volume. I then tried an inexpensive pair of indoor/outdoor 3-ways in the gazebo and they sounded even better due to the high frequency capabilities of the tweeters. All-in-all, its a nice simple outdoor solution that easily fills the gazebo and moderate sized backyard with sound. Reception with the supplied string FM antenna is marginal, but adequate. Unfortunately, it does not have any balance or fader capabilities. But, that's OK for my application. Actually has 2 sets of 2-channel RCA outputs and is able to easily drive both my small 3-ways and rock speakers at the same time. Great simple little unit for the money. Would definately recommend it to a friend! However, I would have purchased an upgraded (balance/fader/tone/waterproof AC/DC converter, etc.) model if they made one. Hint...Hint!

Sound quality was better than expected, the antenna/tuner reception is to put it mildly...BAD!!! Would I recommend this to someone else, yes, good product for the price.
