Yamaha STAGEPAS 1K 1000W Portable Column PA System with Dolly
The STAGEPAS 1K is an all-in-one portable PA system that allows you to easily transform any location into your stage. Delivering professional-level audio performance with a setup so simple it enables aspiring artists to focus on their music and get the most out of their performances.
Compact Yet Powerful Package
Despite its compact cabinet construction, the STAGEPAS 1K features a high-output 1000W amplifier. It drives a high-frequency array speaker with 10 x 1.5″ units and a large 12″ subwoofer. These components produce best-in-class sound pressure levels of up to 119 dB. An impressive 170° horizontal and 30° vertical coverage deliver clear, high-quality sound consistently throughout a wide coverage area.
J-Curve Slim Line Array
STAGEPAS 1K’s high-frequency speaker array is comprised of 10 small-diameter 1.5″ speakers. By adopting a J-curve array configuration, the high-frequency unit achieves vertical coverage of 30 ° across 170 °. Additionally, the STAGEPAS can deliver clear, high-quality sound consistently over longer distances. It projects uniform, high-quality sound from the front to the rear of the audience.
Class-leading 12-Inch “Compact” Subwoofer
The subwoofer features a 12-inch speaker unit which is hardly “compact,” and actually the largest in its class. However, for STAGEPAS 1K’s new design Yamaha focused on reducing enclosure size and weight in order to improve portability. Thus, they created the smallest class cabinet on the market for a subwoofer of this size and power.
Maximize low-end output by incorporating Yamaha’s own Twisted Flare Port™ technology. It reduces port wind noise that can occur with compact bass-reflex subwoofers, thus, producing very deep, powerful, distortion-free bass.
High-Efficiency “1000” W Class-D Amplifier
Also, the 1000W Class-D amplifier module is capable of delivering an impressive 119 dB SPL. Yamaha, being an innovator of related technologies, ensures that with great power comes great stability. STAGEPAS 1K maintains the same accurate, superior-quality sound even at high output.
Professional Functionality with Simple Operation
Yamaha has been developing innovative digital mixers for professional engineers around the world for decades. STAGEPAS 1K’s digital mixer incorporates that wealth of expertise, featuring an intuitive UI that makes it possible to dial in otherwise complex operations with a single knob. Thus, reducing setup time and streamlining system operation.
STAGEPAS Digital Mixer with Versatile Input
With outstanding flexibility for a PA system of this size, the 5-channel digital mixer features three channels of mono microphone/line inputs and stereo inputs. It has two mono-input channels equipped with Hi-Z connectivity for direct input of acoustic-electric guitars and other instruments.
In addition to Phone and 1/8″mini jacks, the stereo connections support playback with Bluetooth devices as well as a wide range of input sources from instruments to CDs, PCs and smartphones.
Professional Control with a Single Knob
Yamaha STAGEPAS 1K comes with a 1-knob EQ for optimised multi-band EQ setting, industry-standard SPX reverb, and the “Mode” control for master output compression settings that match various applications such as “Speech” or “Music.” Each of these functions can be set via a single knob, and has simplified many of the tough tasks like EQ and compression to get you great sound fast.
1. SPX the standard digital reverb
One knob gives you access to four different high-quality reverb settings—perfect for vocals and acoustic instruments. Simply turn the knob to change the reverb type and time, and then you’re ready to apply just the right amount of high-resolution effect to each channel.
2. 1-knob EQ
Whether turning to the left to cut unnecessary low-end frequencies for speeches or turning to the right to emphasize the bottom and high end for band performances, this innovative equalizer can dial in the perfect sound adjustment with a simple turn of the knob.
3. “MODE” for master output
The multiband compressor adjusts optimised compression settings to suit various applications. By selecting the setting closest to your application, you can add a more professional edge to your sound without having to learn difficult compression/audio engineering principles.
STAGEPAS Editor
STAGEPAS Editor is STAGEPAS 1K’s dedicated remote control application that allows users to adjust volume and EQ at a distance via Bluetooth during rehearsal or performance. You can also save the adjusted settings for certain songs or applications in order to shorten your setup process in the future and maintain consistency from one performance to the next.
Superior Utility and Portability
The STAGEPAS 1K is an innovative all-in-one portable PA system that is not only capable of filling a wide area with high-quality and uniform sound from just one unit, but also lightweight enough to be easily carried by anyone, simple enough to set up in about one minute, and durable enough to withstand harsh environments.
Simple Setup
To set your system up, place the 2 spacers and speaker unit into the subwoofer and you are essentially done. There are no cables, speaker stand, or additional gear required beyond the main unit. All you need is in the package.
High-Grade Polyurea Coating
The lightweight ABS cabinet of the subwoofer features a high-grade polyurea coating to prevent wear and tear during transport. It is light enough to make the system extremely portable. Also, it is rugged and scratch-resistant enough to withstand harsh performance environments.
Scalability via Linked STAGEPAS 1K Systems
Linking two STAGEPAS 1K’s provides a wider coverage area and higher output power for larger-scale performances. Stereo and mono playback are supported, and when set to mono, both STAGEAPAS 1K inputs can still be used (up to 6 mono inputs plus 2 stereo inputs).
Fitted Cover Included
The STAGEPAS 1K comes with its own cover which, in addition to protecting the unit, has pouches for both spacers and speaker array as well as additional storage pockets for microphones, cables, etc., streamlining system setup and teardown.
Dolly Included
A dedicated dolly allows for more convenient transportation — particularly useful for performers transporting additional gear and instruments. Featuring a simple, sturdy mechanism that locks down the speaker covers the lightweight dolly enables smooth, reliable transportation.
