Yamaha STAGEPAS1KMKII, 1100W Portable PA System With 5-Channel Digital Mixer, 12" Subwoofer, 1.5" x10 Line Array Speaker, Bluetooth Input, SPX Digital Reverbs, Priority Ducker, 1-Knob EQ and Multi-Band Comp for Master Output.

Yamaha's STAGEPAS 1K MKII is an all-in-one portable PA system that allows you to quickly and easily transform any location into your stage, delivering professional-level audio performance with a simple setup that enables aspiring artists to focus on their music and get the most out of their performances.

Adding an even higher sound pressure level and more flexible remote functionality than its predecessor, the second-generation STAGEPAS 1K MKII boasts the same combination of lightweight cabinet design, professional mixing functions, and simple operability, that has elevated the STAGEPAS all-in-one package above all other portable PAs. By adopting a concert-quality mixer and speaker, we have raised the bar for portable PA by utilizing Yamaha’s unique experience and know-how developed over decades of producing innovative, professional audio equipment from every stage of music engineering and production.

The STAGEPAS 1K MKII comes equipped with a wealth of sound adjustment features, including 1-knob EQ to perform multiple EQ processes simultaneously, and MODE which allows you to adjust optimized compression settings like “Speech” or “Music” to match various applications. All adjustments can be done simply with one knob, making the perfect mix fast and easy without a complex workflow and letting you focus on your performance.

A 1100 W amplifier drives the array speaker with 10 small-diameter 1.5-inch units, as well as a class-leading 12-inch subwoofer. The impressive 170° horizontal and 30° vertical coverage area delivers consistent performance over long distances, projecting uniform, high-quality sound from the front to the rear of the audience.

Despite its lightweight and compact cabinet construction, the STAGEPAS 1K MKII features a high-output 1100 W amplifier powering a high-frequency array speaker system with 10 x 1.5-inch drivers and a large 12-inch subwoofer, producing best-in-class sound pressure levels of up to 125 dB SPL. An impressive 170° horizontal and 30° vertical coverage delivers clear, high-quality sound consistently throughout a wide listening area.

The high-frequency speaker array is comprised of 10 x 1.5-inch small diameter speakers. By adopting a J-curve array configuration, the high-frequency unit achieves coverage of 170° horizontal and 30° vertical. With such a long, 10-driver array design the STAEGEPAS 1K MKII can deliver clear, high quality sound consistently over longer distances from the front to the rear of the audience.

The subwoofer features a 12-inch speaker unit which is hardly “compact,” and actually the largest in its class. Despite housing a 12-inch speaker unit that is the largest in its class, the STAGEPAS 1K MKII boasts the smallest cabinet on the market for a subwoofer of this size and power.

By incorporating Yamaha’s own Twisted Flare Port™ technology to reduce port wind noise that can occur with compact bass-reflex subwoofers, the low-end output is maximized, producing very deep, powerful, distortion-free bass.

Yamaha has been developing innovative digital mixers for professional engineers around the world for decades. the STAGEPAS 1K MKII 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, reducing setup time and streamlining system operation and allowing users to focus on their performance.

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, with two of the 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-inch 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.

STAGEPAS 1K MKII comes equipped with a wealth of sound shaping functions, including 1-knob EQ for optimized 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 have simplified many of the tough tasks like EQ and compression to get you great sound fast. In addition, the optional FC5 foot switch can also be used for on/off operation.

STAGEPAS 1K MKII features “Priority Ducker” function, which can be controlled from the STAGEPAS Controller application and also turned on/off directly from the device.

An invaluable feature for applications that require both public-speaking and background music, Priority Ducker allows a microphone to take priority over another sound source automatically, just by speaking into the mic. Stop talking and the other sound source is brought back to its original level, and thus no console operator is required for this simple yet valuable function. You can even adjust the ducker attenuation of the sound source to suit your preferences.

The STAGEPAS 1K MKII 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 for accessories to further streamline system setup and teardown.

Linking two STAGEPAS 1K mkII or a STAGEPAS 1K mkII with a DXL1K provides greater coverage area and increased output power for large-scale performances. Both stereo and mono playbacks are supported, and when set to mono, the inputs of the two linked units can still be used.
