Polsen BCPM-A2 Overview
Battery Powered
The BCPM-A2 is an active device and runs on two AAA batteries. This gives the advantage of boosting the incoming signal with the active amplifier. If you need a little more level than the source is giving you, just turn up the volume.
Mono/Stereo Switch
The internal mono/stereo switch lets you select the mode that meets your needs. Select stereo when you connect to a headphone output or other stereo source. Select mono when you connect to a single-channel source such as a mono aux send from a mixer.
Volume Control
The volume knob / power switch is positioned at the end of the BCPM-A2 where it's easy to reach, even without looking. If you're sitting behind a keyboard or drum kit, changing the monitoring volume in your headphones is trickier than it sounds. If you can't walk over to the headphone amp or give the "more volume" sign to the sound engineer, the BCPM-A2 is for you. It puts a volume knob right at your belt, so you can dial in the perfect monitor level any time you need it.
Combo Input Jack
Because monitoring is so critical to your performance, the XLR jack features a locking mechanism to prevent the connector from accidentally disconnecting—like if there's a little tug, or even if someone trips over your cable. When you're done, just press the locking tab to disconnect. Not using an XLR cable? No problem. The BCPM-A2's combo jack accepts 1/4" connectors, too.
Headphone Jack
Use your favorite studio or monitoring headphones, earbuds, or in-ear monitors. The standard stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone jack accepts them all.
Compact and Durable
Thanks to the BCPM-A2's compact and lightweight design, you'll forget it's there until you need to adjust your volume. The monitor is made with a sturdy metal chassis that can take the bumps of travel and live stage performance.

Distorts Easily

Rated 3 out of 5

Nice sturdy build quality, great belt clip, nice volume knob, poor audio quality. This thing distorts very easily. It's kind of OK for ear buds if you carefully managing the incoming signal level. You can just forget about using it with full size headphones.

low-end. hardware is rough and clumsy to open (for battery exchange). Mediocre sound. cannot handle high gain, sound gets into distortion. In hindsight would not have bought it.

Could this amp power a small, shoulder mounted portable two way radio speaker?
Loaded question... First is connection, 1/8” headphone jack. Then it depends on the resistance of the speaker and what kind of volume you’re going for. It’s intended for in ear monitors or headphones, which is a minimal load compared to an open air speaker. So likely no.
