Yamaha's STAGEPAS 500 is for situations in which a
little extra power and channel capacity is needed. It is an incredibly
lightweight, portable, easy-to-use PA system consisting of a pair of
high-performance speakers with a built-in powered mixer. You can be set
up and playing in a matter of minutes, and then packed away and on the
road again with the same ease and speed when you're done. And all of
this is provided with no compromise in sound quality or versatility,
plus some advanced features you normally wouldn't expect to find in
systems in this class. Getting great sound for live performance used to
be a big deal.
Dual 250-Watt amplifiers
Two 250-watt power amplifiers can fill surprisingly large clubs or
rooms, or project your sound over a considerable distance outdoors. The
class-D power amplifier has been painstakingly designed to deliver
superior sound quality as well as reliability in a remarkably compact
unit.
Versatile 10-channel Mixer with Monitor and Record Outputs
If there are more members in your band than the STAGEPAS 300's 8 input
channels can handle, or you simply have a lot of sources to mix, the
STAGEPAS 500 gives you 10 input channels in all: four mono
microphone/line inputs and three stereo line inputs. The additional
stereo channel can used for either a stereo or mono source. In addition
to the main speaker outputs the mixer has line outputs that can be used
to connect additional powered speakers for monitoring, and to send the
mixer's output to a recording device.
Phantom Power for High-performance Condenser Microphones
The STAGEPAS 500 mixer features switchable phantom power for the four
mono microphone/line inputs. This lets you use high-performance
phantom-powered condenser microphones in situations where you want the
extended, natural response they provide.
Built-in Channel Compression/Limiting, 2-band Channel EQ and SPX Digital Reverb
Channels 1 and 2 feature LIMIT/COMP switches that let you apply either
limiting or compression to those channels. Limiting can be useful to
prevent input overload and distortion with sources that have a wide
dynamic range, while compression can add punch to vocals, bass, guitar,
and other sources while smoothing out the sound and helping it to
"ride" better in the mix. Like the STAGEPAS 300 mixer, the STAGEPAS 500
mixer has 2-band EQ controls on each channel, as well as REVERB
switches on channels 1 through 4. A separate REVERB level control
adjusts the reverb mix.
High-performance 10" 2-way Passive Speakers
STAGEPAS 500 speakers have 10" woofers and 1" high-frequency units.
Both types deliver clean, high-quality sound. The speakers can be stand
mounted without standard speaker stand adapters (Tripod pole diameter
is 35 mm).
