All user reviews of 5/5 for the Yamaha Stagepas 500

We did two concerts and a rptition (yes I know we rptons little less but we are so good at improv and gniaux catch impromptu).

I have chosen to price and compactness. The reassuring cluck of a known brand and proves it.
They are easily stored in the trunk of the car. Integrates the mixer in one of the speakers and the other hosts the cables. They can climb on foot but we did not try.
The table is very simple. We connected two songs microphones, microphone harmonica, guitar electro, a BAR, a guitar reading via a VG 99 and an Ipod for some guidance. Everything t cal rev faster and I can control the mix while playing because we have no sound ingnieur with us.

We can install the scne in 15 minutes maximum, which is apprciable because we do not let us have the time to refine rglages.
We do not dpendons over the sound systems approximate friendly organizers of all kinds which we operate but in the comptences Contents sound often come from another plant.

This autonomy is also a great advantage to offer concerts of people or places that are not team. Home private concerts for example.

We plan to buy back two amplified complmentaires to better hear what we play. The sound of the project by the rear speakers is a bit dull but that's normal. By asking the speakers to the front of the scne we had no problem of feedback, hum or other happiness of the genre.

There is a reverb possible for four microphone inputs. It is not extraordinary but dpanne useful. There is also a summary of the two compressor Premire slices. That is enough in our case but we play with little effect trs and natural sound, trs sound, a perfect fit.

Can be a little regret that there have no possibility To insert an effect, but when you see the price of some small mixing desk that can complter later if our different needs.

We have sound without a problem amphi thatre 200 people and a room of 400m2 FTEs without being thoroughly knobs (about 75% power).
Viewers have Congratulations to balance and clarity of sound. They apprcis to hear the text and the instrumental parts without being broken ears. When I got, push the treble lgrement for sound even better.

I consider the report acceptable quality and price trs that choice I would do without any concern.

Let's go and the show must go on.

We already had two live gigs and one rehearsal with them.

I bought them for their price and their compact size. And also due to the brand's reputation.

They can easily fit in your trunk. The mixer can fit in one speaker while the other speaker has a compartment for cables. The speakers can be mounted on stands, but we haven't tried that out.

The mixer is very simple. We connected two vocal mics, one harmonica mic, one electro-acoustic guitar, one drum machine, one electric guitar via a VG99 and one iPod for playbacks. Everything was set really fast and I could control the mix while we played given that we don't have a sound engineer.

The stage can be ready within 15 minutes and that's a huge advantage because you don't always have a lot of time for a soundcheck.

We don't depend on bad P.A. systems anymore (which is what you usually get from concert organizers who not always have the best audio knowledge).

This independence is a great advantage to play gigs for people or in locations without any P.A. equipment. Private gigs for example.

We think about buying two active wedges to get a better stage sound. The sound coming out from the back of the speakers is quite dull, which is normal. We haven't had feedback or noise problems placing the speakers in front of the stage.

The system provides a reverb for the four mic inputs. It's nothing extraordinary but it comes in very handy. The two first channels also have a basic compressor. They are enough for us. We use few effects and have a natural, very acoustic sound.

I only miss insert points for external signal processors, but considering the current price of compact mixers we can buy one later if we have the need.

We played without a problem in a theater packed with about 200 people and in a 4,300 sq. ft. hall without turning the power fully up (only about 3/4 of the way).

The audience congratulated us for the well-balanced and clear sound. They liked the fact that they could understand the song lyrics clearly and also hear the instrumental parts without any ear damage. For my taste you must emphasize high frequencies to get a better sound.

The value for money is very reasonable and I'm sure I would buy this product again.

Let's go and the show must go on.
