The new STAGEPAS models deliver a significant increase in power output with substantial improvements in sound quality and reliability, says the company. Complementing the boost in performance, the addition of iPod/iPhone connectivity, SPX digital reverbs, an onboard feedback suppressor and more versatile EQ has improved functionality and ease of use, allowing STAGEPAS to meet the demands of a much wider range of applications and users.
The STAGEPAS 400i and STAGEPAS 600i feature two sleek, lightweight speakers and a detachable powered mixer, along with a pair of speaker cables and power cord for a complete portable sound solution that can be set up quickly and easily in a variety of configurations and environments. The mixer also fits into one of the speaker enclosures, creating an even smaller footprint when in use.
Delivering 400 watts and 680 watts respectively, the 400i and 600i offer a substantial increase in power output compared to previous models. Utilizing Yamaha's intelligent DSP technologies, the new models offer consistent, high-quality sound at any volume level while simultaneously extending the life of vital components with advanced limiter circuits. An innovative speaker design enhances system performance by delivering evenly distributed, superior sound to a greater coverage area.
"Portable, practical and reliable, Yamaha's all-in-one PA systems continue the STAGEPAS legacy of providing everything you need to transform any environment into your own stage," said Chris Irvine, product manager, Yamaha MIPA (UK). "With more power, more features, improved functionality, and even better sound, the STAGEPAS 400i and 600i have set a new bench mark for portable PA systems."
