Be Heard this Christmas with the STAGEPAS series

Power to Go!

Getting great sound for live performance without spending a fortune or needing a van and stage-crew used to be a big deal, but now thanks to the ultra compact Yamaha STAGEPAS Series, you can have a high-performance, highly portable and affordable live sound system that will deliver your music or message wherever you go, indoors or out.

Versatility & Power - In Four Portable Systems

Combining high-performance power and accurate sound reproduction with remarkable versatility in a portable package, STAGEPAS Series Portable PA Systems are fast becoming the standard for musicians and other PA users on the go.

These combination mixer/amplifier/speaker systems are exceptionally lightweight, portable and full-featured. Since virtually everything you need is in one, easy-to-use package, you can be set up and playing within a matter of minutes. And when your done, you can be packed up and back on the road again with the same ease and speed. Yet despite the simplicity and compact size, these systems cut no corners in sound quality or versatility, and in fact give you some advanced features not normally found in systems of this class.

2008 has seen the introduction of two new single-speaker models; the STAGEPAS 150M and 250M, in addition to the STAGEPAS 300 and 500 dual speaker systems giving the range even more flexibility for meeting your requirements. Whether your portable PA needs are Pro Audio (for music performance) or Public Address for school, church and meeting assemblies, the STAGEPAS systems fit a wide variety of applications. Lets take a look at where the STAGEPAS systems can be applied in the real world.....

For Bands

Multiple microphone inputs make the STAGEPAS series an ideal choice for band rehearsals and performances. The STAGEPAS 500 in particular - with up to 10 inputs and 500 watts of power - is well suited for many sources and larger venue's, while optional MSR100/250 powered speakers can be used for monitoring.

For Singers

Vocalists will appreciate the built-in, high-quality reverb on all STAGEPAS systems. Plus the 250M and 500 models feature a built-in limiter/compressor to set-up in a smooth, punchy vocal sound.

For Keyboard, Electronic Percussion & Silent String Players

Players needing a simple, yet exceptionally high-quality keyboard amplifier will find ideal solutions in the STAGEPAS 150M and 250M. These compact, highly portable and easy-to-use systems can serve as your main system for small gigs, or as a monitor/sub-mixer for direct connection to the main mixer at large events. The 150M and 250M models may only feature a single speaker but rest assured the signal input into these units can of course be stereo – the speaker output is simply summed to a mono signal when using the one speaker.

The unique ‘Click Assign Switch’ is also a handy addition to the new ‘M’ models which allows the connection of a drum machine or metronome to the last stereo channels of the mixer. A click or metronome can then be routed through the mixer for monitoring purposes only – turning this switch on takes the click signal out of the ST SUB OUT jacks, whilst a second Click switch lets you route the click signal to the PHONES out for headphones monitoring

For Guitarists

The STAGEPAS 150M and 250M are excellent systems for the acoustic guitarist playing in small venues or simply for rehearsing, since they deliver outstanding sound for the house as well as great monitor sound for the player. Multiple inputs and compression (on 250M) mean that adding vocal mics and backing tracks is a breeze.

For Public Speakers & Instructors

Of course a PA system isn’t only ever used for music. The STAGEPAS systems have been designed from the ground up taking into consideration a whole variety of other applications; If you’re a speaker or giving presentations, you can instantly optimize the system settings with the special Speech mode-giving you maximum clarity for speech applications. Aerobic and other fitness instructors, School Teachers or Comedians may also benefit from the portability and simplicity of these system. A STAGEPAS system will fit into the boot of a typical car and still allow plenty of room for a kit bag etc.
