Product Description
The STAGEPAS 500 was developed after numerous requests from end users who liked the STAGEPAS 300, but wanted just a little more. A little more power, larger woofers, more inputs were all addressed in the STAGEPAS 500. Designed to give quality minded musicians, performers, speakers and other presenters a solution for their smaller performances the STAGEPAS 500 delivers without sacrificing high fidelity and professional appearance. The mixer of the STAGEPAS 500 also contains the two 250 watt digital power amplifiers, and it resides in the back of one of the two passive loudspeakers that complete the system. The other loudspeaker has a convenient accessory compartment for the included speaker cables or other gear. This mixer has 10 total inputs. 4 are mono and can accept either microphone or line level instruments, and there are three stereo inputs to accept line level stereo sources like keyboards or CD players. Digital reverb is included onboard the mixer along with EQ or tone controls. In addition to providing simple operation, the mixer will operate installed in the speaker cabinet, out on a table or on a microphone stand with the optional adapter. Simple quarter turn fasteners allow easy removal and replacement with a coin.. The loudspeakers systems offer an 10” long travel woofer and 1” titanium high frequency driver assuring full fidelity sound. The travel cases are custom fit to the STAGEPAS 500 and make transporting the system a breeze. Weighing around 50 lbs, this system plays well beyond its size with remarkable fidelity.

Excellent Product

This system is an EXCELLENT value for the money. It is very powerful and so easy to move around using the Yamaha carrying cases. Awesome options and very well built system. The sound quality is top notch!

Very Nice
By Pam Keller
We use this for a small church worship team and sermon. It is fantastic and allows for use by vocalists and instrumentalists. Each input has separately controlled volume so you can bring out some sounds will taming ones that are too loud. It puts out fantastic, true sound and projects really well. It is a bit heavy to carry, but we got the wheeled cases to cart them around. We rent space for our church, so we carry them back and forth each Sunday. If they are left in place all the time, this is not a problem.Some inputs allow you to put 2 instruments in at a time, but then those two instruments share a volume control. At least the option is there so you can have more inputs. Each line in has a high control and a low/bass control, so it is not too technical, as well as the volume. There are four lines that have an option for mics, and reverb. It is more than I could ever want for our small church. We even use it to place music from an iPod or portable radio. We held a youth dance and used the iPods to play music all night. It is superb for the price.If you want a really high tech option, you will not be happy with this. If you want a good system with quality and performance, this is it!We bought Shure mics with this and they are great. You can use either three prong ended mics or the regular RCA jack mics. Very versatile.

Surprising Sound for the $
By Robert E. Mcmurtry
I've owned the Yamaha Stagepas 500 system for almost 2 years and find it to be perfect for my application. I use it in a large hall where music and instructional voice are mixed for a dance class. The directional feature works well when one wishes to pinpoint where the sound should be. You can stand behind the speaker and carry on a conversation while music is playing which is unlike many other systems. Other systems flood the hall making music and vocal instructions muddy. However the 500 is loud enough to fill a reasonable size hall for open dance (often louder than I might wish). Too many bands crank up the volume so you an feel the music, often distorted. Though the 500 is limited as far as adjusting the highs and lows, it is adequate for most applications with the flexibility of adding a set of powered speakers or sub-bass. I've had several DJs comment on the system, surprised that it puts out volume and clarity at such a reasonable cost.
