Do not waste your money on this product! First the amlefire broke on me so they sent me a new one which was completely different than the origianal. After that both the speakers burnt out on me. The micorphone screw cracked the day i oppened it. This product will break easily on you and it's not even good for parties. This is probably the worst thing I ever bought.

JBL MRX525 15-Inch Premium 350-Watt Two-Way Portable Loudspeaker Review

I have a live sound company. I have a small trailer and no employees. I cater to the local scene and have even worked shows with international touring bands. I need to have lightweight yet good sounding speakers. NO, these are not as nice as the JBL SRX series or some of the other pro cabinets BUT...Everybody loves how they sound. I have four of these cabs and mate them to EAW LA400 subs. Yes-I know people say you don't need a sub with these but yes, you do. I run a lot of metal and hardcore shows and subs are essential. Maybe for acoustic shows you can get away without subs..but I always have them.
I run my system in stereo and power these cabs with a Crown XTi 4000 amp. Each set gets an XTi amp. These speakers really like to be turned up. For a smaller room with less screaming metal needs you may want to go with the smaller MRX cabs. I also have a set of those.
Most reviews tell how great the speaker sounds, the highs, the tasty lows. Honestly, so much depends on the room and the way the PA is tuned. Great equipment sounds bad when set up improperly. My board is one of the following: Allen & Heath GL2400, Presonus Live,or a small Mackie. I also use a DriveRack for processing. With proper set-up these speakers will cut through the stage sound and push the vocals through the metal mayhem. I have also used them at acoustic shows and yes they do sound sweet. I could spend more money on SRX cabs and someday I might. But right now these cabs work great because they are not power-hungry and don't need monster 20-amp amplifiers or a three-way system. They are very light and easy to carry. Lastly, they sound great and people constantly compliment me on the sound. If you want to move up from more generic cabs..you won't be disappointed. DJ, metal, acoustic, trance, worship..I have done it all!

Yamaha STAGEPAS 300 Portable PA System Review

Yamaha STAGEPAS 300 Portable PA System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I first auditioned the Stagepas300 several months ago, along with a friend, and we judged it relative to other portable PA's in the ~$500 - $1000 list price range. He immediately bought one, I soon did the same. We are both acoustic solo players/singers (since the late 1950's) who occasionally work with one or more other musicians doing mostly folk, old time, early country and bluegrass, and ragtime and country blues repertoire. Think acoustic music in small to perhaps 1,200 sq ft sized venues and you'll have an idea where this PA is a very strong contender and good value to boot. Other applications, especially those employing larger ensembles, electric instruments, or high decibel levels in large spaces deserve beefier gear in order not to disappoint.
The build quality is very good for an inexpensive portable PA (much more so than the rivals I kicked around a bit). I use only microphones but the XLR, ¼", and RCA input jacks all feel good. Onboard phantom power would have been much appreciated and its lack is one of the weaknesses of the Stagepas300. Others have derided the reverb effect, but I use only the lightest amount for enhancing vocal ambience and have no complaints. I've also acquired the pole mounting hardware for the speakers and the adapter for mounting the mixer on a mike stand--they're a bit pricey, but, all-in-all, the whole thing still cost me only around $500 and it looks and sounds great. If your needs increase, this set up is extremely easy to upgrade/expand without becoming at all obsolete.
More than anything else, the Stagepas300 sounds very good. Yamaha makes good mass market audio gear and the 300 has solid, smooth output. The electronics have a 20Hz-20kHz frequency response with reasonable specs; the speakers are rated at 55Hz-20kHz and if you use good quality microphones and cables this is probably what you get in terms of audible response. It's quite good, very little audible distortion at moderate volume levels and little hum or other noise--a very smooth and natural sounding output. There are limited hi and lo EQ abilities on all the input channels, but I'm pretty much into the `straight wire with gain' philosophy anyway. Just to round out the set up FYI. Bob uses two Shure 87a microphones, I use two CAD C-195s and two Astatic CTM 1000A dual capsule cardioids condenser mikes (when playing in a duo) and I can't really tell much difference in the output.
We're both very happy with our Stagepas300's. If your expectations are reasonable and this review resembles you, chances are that you too will be very happy playing and singing through this system.

The STAGEPAS 300 was the first in the line of complete compact PA system offerings from Yamaha. It was designed to give quality minded musicians, performers, speakers and other presenters a solution for their smaller performances, without sacrificing high fidelity and professional appearance. The mixer of the STAGEPAS 300 also contains the two 150 watt digital power amplifiers, and it resides in the back of oneof the two passive loudspeakers that complete the system. The other loudspeaker has a convenient accessory compartment for the included speaker cables or other gear. This mixer has 8 total inputs. 4 are mono and can accept either microphone or line level instruments, and there are two stereo inputs to accept line level stereo sources like keyboards or CD players. Digital reverb is included onboard the mixer along with EQ or tone controls. In addition to providing simple operation, the mixer will operate installed in the speaker cabinet, out on a table or on a microphone stand with the optional adapter. Simple quarter turn fasteners allow easy removal and replacement with a coin.. The loudspeakers systems offer an 8" long travel woofer and 1" titanium high frequency driver assuring full fidelity sound. Due to their compact design, the loudspeakers require an external bracket to adapt for tripod stand use. The travel case accepts the speakers with these brackets attached. At less than 40 lbs, this system plays well beyond its size with remarkable fidelity.
