Yamaha STAGEPAS 250M Portable PA System

From the company known for market-leading electronic keyboards come a new generation of keyboard amplifiers that redefine the category: STAGEPAS 150M and 250M. "How are they different from what's been available?" you ask. In almost every way! They're much lighter and more compact, provide a unique form factor and feature set optimized for keyboardists, and, most importantly, deliver the ultimate in sound quality. Both of these single-speaker systems also function very effectively as ultra-portable mono PA systems that are upgradeable to stereo with the simple addition of an optional powered speaker.

Versatile 10-channel Powered Mixer
The built-in yet detachable mixer of the STAGEPAS 250M provides a total of ten input channels: two mono microphone/line inputs and four stereo line inputs. In addition to a speaker output for the supplied speaker, the mixer has line outputs that can be used to connect additional powered speakers or to send the mixer's output to a main mixer or recording device. It also features a convenient PHONES jack for connecting a set of headphones.

Versatility and Power — in Four Portable Systems
Combining high-performance power and accurate sound reproduction with remarkable versatility in a portable package, Yamaha's STAGEPAS Series Portable PA Systems are fast becoming the standard for musicians and other PA users on the go.

These combination mixer/amplifier/speaker systems are exceptionally lightweight, portable and full-featured. Since virtually everything you need is in one, easy-to-use package, you can be set up and playing within a matter of minutes. And when you're done, you can be packed and back on the road again with the same ease and speed. Yet despite the simplicity and compact size, these systems cut no corners in sound quality or versatility, and in fact give you some advanced features not normally found in systems of this class.

The series now includes the new single-speaker STAGEPAS 150M and 250M, which can be expanded to a stereo system by simply adding a second speaker. They can also function either as an ultra-portable PA system, or as a powerful keyboard amplifierwith sound quality and portability that far surpasses any other conventional keyboard amp. No matter what system you choose, you have a high-power, highperformance sound system ready for a wide variety of venues and events, both indoors and out.
