Bring back the traditional Stagepas please. Your Stagepas systems had so much going for them but this release of yours is just not making it. Yes Yamaha, I am disappointed with this release. No matter what, you just cannot beat physics. Plus it is on the floor and cannot be suspended on stands like the previous iterations. This thing has got no power and cannot “throw” the sound because it has no horns. If Yamaha was releasing this to compete with the Electro-Voice Evolve series, let us just say that they made a big blunder. Like I said, I was very disappointed in this release by Yamaha. High resolution SPX digital reverbs (4types, parameter control).Multi band comp “mode” for master output.Digital mixer (3 mono mic/line + 1 stereo line).1.5” x10 slim line array speaker for high frequency.Biggest in the class 12” subwoofer for low frequency.According to Yamaha, this new Stagepas is a 1000W PA system with 5 channel mixer, 12” subwoofer, 1.5” x10 line array speaker, a Bluetooth input, SPX digital reverbs and 1knob EQ and multi band comp for master output. I do not know WHY people think that vertical line-arrays like these are the greatest things ever. When I saw this Stagepas that Yamaha created, I was sick to the stomach.

That soon came some time back and this is what came out…the Yamaha Stagepas 1K They said that they were working on something and it should be out soon. After some years, I asked some Yamaha engineers and sales people in 2016 if there was going to be any new updates to the Stagepas line. I was always hoping for an improvement to the Stagepas line and not long after I bought my Stagepas 500, Yamaha released the Stagepas 600i. It is still going strong and while I do admit that I have not been using it for any shows lately, I still love it. As you all probably know, if you have been reading my blog that is, I have the Yamaha Stagepas 500 that I bought almost 10 years ago.
