Yamaha STAGEPAS 200 Portable Powered Speaker
With astonishing high-quality sound and mixing capability far beyond what you would expect from its minimalist design, the STAGEPAS 200 is a premium portable PA system that performs well above its weight class. With fast, intuitive operation of crucial live sound features, and superb overall performance, your audience will be stunned by your sound, and likely puzzled by your diminutive setup. The STAGEPAS 200 comes in two models - one with a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, the other compatible with optional batteries, giving you the flexibility to inspire performers and audiences alike in virtually any environment you choose, from street performances with 1-3 performers, to events, parties, and speeches.
Sound That Astounds: Featuring a high-quality coaxial transducer design, the STAGEPAS 200 is capable of delivering best-in-class sound pressure, precise phase response, and a very natural dispersion of high frequencies. Adopting some of the same expertise used in Yamaha's high-end Professional Audio gear, this mighty yet minimalistic powerhouse will stun your audience with the full dynamic range and response of your performance.
Mix It Up: The STAGEPAS 200 puts a strong emphasis on its "all-in-one" designation offering all the connectivity, performance functions, and mixing capability you would ever need for small-scale duo or trio performances - all packed into a compact 300 mm cube-style cabinet. Equipped with a digital mixer that can be controlled remotely for up to 5 channels, 3 mic preamps, and a comprehensive range of practical functions you'll be thankful to have at your disposal, the STAGEPAS 200 is without peer in the compact all-in-one PA market.
Dial In & Vibe Out: The simple, intuitive operation of the STAGEPAS 200 makes dialling in your ideal sound a painless - even enjoyable process. Each channel is equipped with a 1-knob EQ/preset and SPX digital effects, along with the master output MODE compressor, enabling fast yet powerful adjustments to your sound, while channels 2-3 feature microphone simulators included in 1-knob EQ/preset can also add instantaneous authenticity to acoustic guitars.
Smooth Operator: The STAGEPAS 200 is equipped with adaptive functions that will help alleviate anxiety about your sound and let you focus on performing your absolute best.
The onboard Priority Ducker will automatically attenuate background music or secondary signals when inputs from a primary microphone or a specific sound source is detected. Additionally, the intelligent feedback suppressor function will automatically eliminate unpleasant feedback that can be caused when a microphone picks up sound from a speaker, ensuring a more comfortable sonic experience for both you and your audience.
Convenient, Creative Remote Control: The STAGEPAS Controller app, for both iOS and Android devices, gives you real-time remote control of both volume and EQ. Additionally, the app allows for more precise adjustment detail than the main unit's interface such as EQ, Reverb, Compressor, Microphone simulators, Ducker, etc. to maximize the capabilities of your STAGEPAS 200. You can save these settings in "scenes" stored on the app to be recalled any time for consistent sound and reduced setup time.
10 Hours Of Non-Stop Performance: Compatible with a large-capacity lithium-ion battery allowing up to 10 hours of continuous operation, the STAGEPAS 200 reliably delivers excellent performance even in remote locations where no power source is available. The BTR-STP200 battery ships with the STAGEPAS 200BTR. It is also available separately.
Bluetooth® Connectivity: Bluetooth functionality enables wireless connection for easy audio playback via smartphones and tablets. It also allows use of the dedicated STAGEPAS Controller app for mixer control and adjustment.
The Right Direction: The rubber stand on the base of the cabinet lets you incline the unit at a 30 or 60 degree tilt angle to adapt to your chosen performance environment or application. This allows placement of the STAGEPAS 200 facing the audience as a fill speaker, or towards the performers when using as a floor monitor.
Mounting Possibilities: The bottom of the cabinet houses a 35 mm diameter pole mounting socket, allowing the STAGEPAS 200 to be mounted on a speaker stand or used in an installation with a subwoofer using a distance rod.
Whenever, Wherever: The optional dedicated CASE-STP200 carrying case is equipped with casters and large-capacity pockets for convenient transport to any location safely and easily.
STAGEPAS Controller: STAGEPAS Controller is a software application that allows you to remotely control STAGEPAS 200 parameters using your Android™ or iOS device. With STAGEPAS Controller, you can control the STAGEPAS 200 mixing parameters directly from the stage or from the audience. Because you can make adjustments while listening to the actual mix, it is easy to balance levels and improve sound quality, while setup time is shortened by eliminating back-and-forth trips to the equipment, leaving more time for rehearsing or relaxing before the show. The scene recall feature allows you to save your settings and easily call them up for your next performance.
About Yamaha
Yamaha was established in 1887 in Japan as a piano and reed organ manufacturer. Musical instruments have continued to be a huge part of Yamaha's field of expertise so it only makes sense that they should turn their hand to making playback equipment so you can listen to recordings of these musical instruments, which are used by some of the best musicians in the world, in the comfort of your own home
Yamaha has produced many cutting edge Hi-Fi products over the years including the legendary NS-1000M loudspeakers which were notable for using the world's first beryllium dome drivers for the midrange and tweeter. Yamaha also has a stellar reputation in home theatre receivers with their AVR's being regarded as some of the best sounding, best specified and most bulletproof on the market. No wonder several of our staff own them.
The Yamaha company demonstrates a strong commitment to quality with absolutely every product they build. Audio Trends has featured Yamaha's high-performance components in our audio/video lineup since 1987 and with visits to the Japanese factory and thorough product training we think you'll find our sales and service second to none.
Our Take On The Yamaha STAGEPAS 200
Out of all of the brands currently inhabiting the broader loudspeaker market, few have a CV as diverse and balanced as Yamaha's. From their historical dominance in home theatre and hi-fi, through to their highly respected Public Address systems (the brand's Sound Reinforcement Handbook is still considered the bible on all things FOH) and of course, their recent successes in installed products and commercial systems, the brand has always enjoyed a stellar reputation in the professional space, irrespective of whichever branch of the audio tree they are inhabiting.
Rest assured, if it has drivers and involves a power amp of any kind, the sight of a Yamaha logo (three intersecting tuning forks to denote the brands commitment to music) comes as a welcome sigh of relief. They are the benchmark for utilitarian and unpretentious excellence in the field.
It's this same spirit that inhabits the new STAGEPAS 200, the latest in Yamaha's flagship STAGEPAS range of portable PA's. Featuring an 8″ LF coaxial speaker with a 1.4″ HF compression driver, nimbly driven by a 180W Class-D amplifier, the combination of these two drivers delivers both sparkling clarity in the midrange with enough throw and dispersion to cover a surprising amount of real estate for a speaker of this size.
The low end reproduction in particular is likely to surprise, with the STAGEPAS 200 providing an impressive amount of reinforcement down there for a speaker of this size and wattage. This no doubt lends itself to social environments of all kinds, and as an all-purpose listening speaker for entertaining or Bluetooth streaming, the STAGEPAS 200 might be the most intuitive and user friendly option at present. Weighing in at a diminutive 12kg, its portable enough to be carted around from event to event with little inconvenience or fatigue and the quality of its output is sure to keep the dance floor or barbecue pumping.
