Yamaha announces its new Stagepas 300 portable P.A. system. Combining a built-in powered mixer and P.A. speakers, it’s easy to use, compact and portable. Featuring two passive speakers with built-in powered mixer speaker cables (5x2 meters) and two-way bass-reflex speakers, the Stagepas 300 can be used as mains or monitors. The 8-channel powered mixer includes four mic and two stereo line inputs, Class-D power amplifiers and 1-bit modulation digital reverb mic stand that is mountable with BMS10A.

The Stagepas 300 features a convenient storage compartment in the rear of the speaker box for packing the included power cable, speaker cable, owner's manual and choice of microphone.

Flexible placement options let you stand the speakers up or lay them on their sides. The cabinets can also be put on speaker stands via optional ADP138 adapter. With the monitor out jack and the angled sides of the cabinet, the speakers can also be used as a floor monitor.

The built-in amplifier delivers 150 watts of power into each channel, and uses Class-D amplification for maximum efficiency, low heat and high fidelity.
