Yamaha unveils second-generation STAGEPAS 1K portable PA
A second-generation of Yamaha’s STAGEPAS 1K portable PA system has been unveiled by the Japanese manufacturer and is complemented by the launch of the DXL1K, a user requested sister system that omits the onboard mixer.
“STAGEPAS 1K is well accepted in the market and has been a very popular solution for a wide range of small‐to‐medium sound reinforcement applications worldwide," said Thomas Hemery, general manager of Yamaha’s Pro Audio Marketing and Sales department. “With the second generation version we have enhanced its output power and functionality, as well as its expandability with the new DXL1K. The DXL1K is also suitable as a main speaker for professional portable PA systems, using a separate compact mixer.”
Featuring a high frequency array of 10 1.5-inch speakers and a 12-inch bass reflex subwoofer, all driven by an integrated Class-D amplifier, the STAGEPAS 1K is an all‐in‐one portable PA system that promises professional audio performance from a small footprint and slimline vertical profile. The new mkII variant adds enhanced sound pressure levels and more flexible remote control capabilities.
A fully redesigned 1,100W Class-D amplifier delivers 125dB SPL, while functionality is enhanced with STAGEPAS Controller, a new software application which allows users to remotely control all STAGEPAS 1K mkII parameters using an Android or iOS device. In addition, a scene recall feature allows for the saving and recalling of settings for individual songs or applications, reducing the setup time during rehearsals or performances.
The DXL1K shares an identical power amplifier, speaker arrays, cabinet construction and slimline profile, without the onboard mixer. In addition to being suitable for use as a standalone powered speaker system with a separate audio mixer, linking STAGEPAS 1K mkII and DXL1K systems provides increased coverage and output power for larger‐scale events. A 1:1 system can be set up to deliver either stereo or mono sound. If the STAGEPAS 1K mkII is set to deliver mono audio, the inputs of the DXL1K and STAGEPAS 1K mkII can both be used, meaning up to five mono inputs plus one stereo input are available. Similarly, two DXL1K can be used with two STAGEPAS 1K mk II – or three DXL1K with one STAGEPAS 1K mkII – to cover a wider or deeper area with either stereo or mono audio.
