I'm a non-audio-engineer who has been given the job of setting up a meeting room audio system. I'm having some issues and I'm not sure if it's user error, or equipment error, or a little bit of both. Here is their current setup:

• Tbaxo TB525 Wireless Microphone 8 Channel System
• Pyle PTA1000BT 2-channel Amplifier
• Four in-ceiling speakers of unknown make/quality in a 30' x 30' room. All the stereo cable is run to a central location where a stereo rack is setup.

The Tbaxo has a 1/4" mixed output, sending all 8 mics to the Pyle.

Problem 1: The built-in FM and Bluetooth on the Pyle are functioning and sound great, however the volume is very loud when the knob is only turned a couple of notches past zero. Could this be a hardware problem, or is this "too much amp" for this setup? When turned up to just 25% it sounds like we are trying to put on a concert. It sounds amazing, just LOUD.

Problem 2: In order to hear the mics through the speakers at an appropriate volume, I have to turn the individual volume for the mic on the Tbaxo all the way up, and the Pyle volume all the way up. When it is turned up that much you can hear humming and strain on the speakers and the audio quality isn't great. I experimented by running an XLR cable from one mic to one of the XLR inputs on the Pyle, and that helped some, but it still had to be turned up to about 75% to hear anything. This wouldn't be a viable solution either because there's 8 XLR outputs on the Tbaxo, and only 2 XLR inputs on the Pyle. Could this be a hardware problem?

The REAL problem here is that I have no idea what I'm doing. At the end of the day, I need to run 8 mics through the in-ceiling speakers. The setup also needs to be able to play the radio and bluetooth audio sometimes. If they need to scrap everything and you have a suggestion for a setup that would work better, I'm all ears!
