DISC Yamaha StagePas 500 PA System

Full Description

An incredibly lightweight, portable, easy-to-use PA system consisting of a pair of high-performance speakers with a built-in powered mixer. Set up and play in a matter of minutes and be packed away and on the road again with the same ease and speed when you're done. 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.

Truly Versatile

For vocal performance, the built-in high-quality reverb is indispensable in providing a great vocal sound, and on the StagePas 500 system the Limit/Comp switch can help to deliver smooth, punchy vocals.

For use by instrumentalists, the StagePas mixer has more than enough input capability to directly handle a range of instruments from electric-acoustic guitars to electronic keyboards.

The 'Speech' mode optimizes the system settings for maximum clarity when using the StagePas 500 for public speaking. Of course, background music from a CD player or other source can be mixed in with the spoken performance.

Multiple microphone inputs make the StagePas systems a good choice for use in band rehearsals or performances.

Fully-Featured

The StagePas 500 has two 250-watt power amplifiers which are capable of filling surprisingly large venues or projecting 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.

The versatile 10-channel Mixer with Monitor and Record Outputs gives you extra options if there are more members in your band than the smaller Stage 300's 8 input channels can handle. If you simply have a lot of sources to mix, the StagePas 500 gives you 10 input channels in all, including four mono microphone/line inputs, three stereo line inputs, an additional stereo channel that can used for either a stereo or mono source and the main speaker outputs.

You can connect additional powered speakers to the StagePas 500 system for monitoring, and to send the mixer's output to a recording device.

Use the StagePas mixer's switchable Phantom Power with high-performance condenser microphones 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.

Channels 1 and 2 feature Built-in Channel Compression/Limiting 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.

The StagePas 500 mixer has 2-band EQ controls on each channel, as well as Reverb switches on channels 1 to 4. A separate Reverb level control adjusts the reverb mix.
