Thanks Robert. I am watching your review here in Belgium. It was very good, thanks. I already own an old Stagepas 500 which has done great service, but now I am 73 and looking for an easier way to gig. I will check out the sound at my local music shop. You have helped me a lot, thanks again. Robin
I had a turbosound IP2000 but it would distort from the tweeter at higher volumes, couldn't EQ it out. I then bought this Yamaha stagepass 1K but it is far too underpowered for my needs. No where near the power of the IP2000. I then bought an RCF Jmix8 and it blows all other column arrays out of the water. It is loud, smooth and built in mixer is far better than the Yamaha 1K. It has took me several PA's to find one that I am truly happy with but the RCF is amazing
Thanks, Robert. This is a fine review. I may get one, too. Just shopping now. I need something for voice and guitar and possibly a trio for small type venues.
Nice job Robert. I just ordered mine from Sweetwater yesterday. Looking forward to taking it for a spin. How is the reverb quality? I will be running an iPad, Shure trumpet mic and vocal mic through it.
Thanks Robert, how’s it going with this 2 years later? My wife sings at assisted living living facilities for her business. We have the Yamaha 600 stagepas . Im looking to take way less to her gigs and not sacrifice quality. As ours has a high mid and low . How’s that aspect or did you get a external mixer. Your thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks man! Best review i've seen for this thing. I'm a solo singer-songwriter (only guitar/vocals, no backing tracks required). Do you think this system is worth looking into for my purpose? Thinking about this as an alternative to an all-in-one acoustic amp (like a Schertler or a Fishman Loudbox) or a powered speaker/mixer combo (think QSC k10.2)
G'day Robert, what is the feedback rejection like? Can you play and sing in front of the system? I was considering placing one at back of the stage centered between my duo. Cheers Mate.. Michael
Hi Robert, thanks for the review. You mentioned the Eq for each channel is lackluster, but how does the Eq sound? Is it sufficient to make the system sound good?
Robert Without doubt the best review on here for the stage pas, I own the Dynacord P5 powermax pa, had it for years, hense I'm getting on in years now, and no more want to be lifting heavy speakers, especially over my head onto poles, so just last night I was told purchase yamaha stage pas, I have 2 issues with this and I hope you can help me out, One is being a one man band show like yourself, I use 2 backing track players, guitar and vocal, so I need 4 channels to run my show, So do this put me in a situation where the onboard mixer is useless to me and if I were to link up and use my own mixer am I losing quality here, the true sound that the stage pas was built for by bypassing its own mixer, also how do you link the external mixer, a video tutorial would be great from you, also my greatest fear is if someone were to fall up against the collum and snap it in half, that being the spacers, is that your pa finished, or can you just purchase the spacers and top speaker separate, party people can have a little too much to drink as we all know and lose balance completely, anyway your review of the system has really got me thinking here, and would love to read a reply from you Robert, it may be of benifit too, to cut out the players and do as you did by putting all your music on the app, and that's another video lol, excellent review, well done! Regards, Matt
Hi Robert, if this unit is capable of replacing an external mixer I’ll be impressed. I owned a Maui 28 mix, and the mic preamp was horrible. I now use Yamaha dsr 15s and an x air mixer, it’s no big deal dragging a separate mixer around but would love to know how you get on without a mixer let us know ASAP Ps. Having an integral music player is a real plus, I hate switching between x air and my playback app mid song, that looks rubbish to the customers. cheers. Kev
I have had this unit for roughly a month, and I haven't had to use a mixer on it yet. I love the mixer on the StagePas 1K. Since I am a one-man-band, I record all my tracks here at home in my studio and then put them into my iPad. So to have the control of the 1K and my tracks all in the same app streamline my workflow and performance. I have never tried the StagePas 1K with an external mixer, but I may to try that to see how it performs.
Thanks Robert I’m a one man band too, some of the gigs here in Spain are huge and some are small so it’s time to get something for both types, and save my old back. Cheers. Kev.
@@BluesCat1980 I’m not sure if that’s correct. I believe only 3 combo channels can be used for guitars and mics. 2 guitars and 1 mic OR 2 mics and 1 guitar.

Hello Friend! Compared to the ip2000 turbosound, which one has more power and sound fidelity? ... I intend to buy two units and use it as a small band in open places. Thank you very much
They could always add 3 band EQ at least in the software version. I am currently in the market for one of these and based on your review EQ is the only part I don't like.
I really though the EQ was a downfall, but I really like it. It makes adjusting things very easy, and it does an amazing job of shaping with just on control.
Hello. You said you had a lot of problems with the turbosound IP3000. What kind of problems? I have a stagepas1k, but I’m about to get a turbosound IP3000 because of the higher wattage and SPL. Also consider just getting another stagepas 1K to use two instead of one for the added SPL I want.
I had issues with stuff burning up in them. Both the IP3000's I had overheated and burned up something on the motherboard. I ended up selling them off as is, and I am so glad I did.
That’s horrible! I thought I finally found a great powerful column speaker. Did they overheat from outside in the sun use? That’s crazy that they both had the same problem. I want to be able to use a column speaker set up for my five piece Latin band. I had high hopes for the IP 3000. Do you have any experience with the LD 28th or 44 G2? Sorry for the long reply, and thank you very much for your answers.
I have two PA speakers: a JBL Eon One, and a Bose S1 Pro. With both, if I plug in a microphone like a Shure SM58, the volume output is, well, pitifully low. But if I use a mixer (I have a Mackie ProDX4) and I plug in the microphone into it, then connecting the mixer to the speaker, the volume is very significantly improved! What is the microphone volume like in your StagePas 1K?
So... (please excuse my stupidity here) is this louder and more powerful than the Stagepas 600? Obviously 1000w is more than 600w but reading the specs comparison online, the Stagepas 600 produces 129db whilst the Stagepas 1000 produces 119db. Am I missing something? I’m a solo singer/songwriter performer and wondering if anyone has had any experience using these and if you really can do without a floor monitor using this PA? Thanks in advance! :-)
Okay, these PA's are kind of in a class all their own because of how they produce sound. A tradition to speaker system (woofer and a horn) produce a sound that is more directional than radiating like these tower systems. These tower arrays are intended to fill an area with sound, so even though it my have a lower SPL threshold, it radiates and moves sound around the room with much more efficiency and even spread. Also keep in mind, these the StagPas 1K has no horns in it. It has tailored small drivers that handle the midrange and treble. So by the sheer nature of not having a horn driver, the SPL will be less. But, don't let that detour you if you're interested in buying one. One of the major things I have learned too, is that these systems are not about how loud you can get, but more about the quality and fidelity of the audio. Not trying to be mean or snarky, but there are a lot of people who concentrate on volume over audio quality. If a person needs more volume vs. quality, then your traditional two-way box is the way to go. But with some of those cabinets, you end up with a definite drop and sound the further you get away from them in the back of a room. These tower arrays are meant to sound the same almost everywhere in the room. If you want to compare PA's, it is best to compare these tower arrays to each other and not you tradition speakers on a pole. As I said before, they are so different from each other, trying to compare the two is sort comparing a dumb truck to a Cadillac. Yes they're both vehicles, but designed for completely different applications. And to answer your question, I have been using tower arrays now for the better part of 6 years. They do a great job replacing floor monitors. Because of their nature, they reject feedback excellently. You can put them directly behind you and you hear exactly what the audience hears. And because of their incredibly wide dispersion horizontally, you can set them behind you off center of axis to further help reject feedback and hear just as well as if they were directly behind you.

Today i had the chance to tryed out the yamaha 1 k its loud but i think it will be hard for this speaker to handle 500 people i will say maybe 350 or 400 cuse 30 ft away the bass its no too loud and. The vocals i guess its good but 500 people you gonna push it to much bose better but for the price you can buy 2 yamaha 1k
@@bladimirperez5073 You can also adjust settings though to change up stuff. I just played to a group of about 400 people not to long ago, and it was plenty loud.
I have an IP2000 and these two sound different because the Turbosound as more speakers in it, but I love the flexibility of the Yamaha StagePas much more. The app makes things great! The app for the Turbosound is so basic and not much flexibility. I have been able to do away with a mixing board when I use the StagePas. It makes setup and tear down so much faster.
This unit is not ready to be a pro unit. The amp went out on mine, Yamaha had me take out the amp module and return just that. They "repaired" it, I received, reinstalled, and it is still not working. No lights, no sound. The system uses a solenoid protection system that does not protect the amp components, It seems only for a power surge. A true protection circut monitors the transistors, ICs, speakers and inputs. The 1K does not.
This is pro gear. I have usee mine in various applications and had no problem. Any piece if equipment can have failure regardless of how expensive it is. Heck Bose systems have failure. The Turbosound equivalent has issues. Don't say this isn't oro gear just because you had an issue.
@@BluesCat1980I have had more than an issue with Yamaha mixers, amps, PAs and recorders. The 1K is not pro grear when i see inside the cost cutting done on a introductory unit. I know electronics and people who do. We looked in the unit and we agree: Low quality, just getting by parts. All electronic gear manufactured have a 1% to 3% failure rate. Most will work for years. True, any system can fail. Have had 6 pieces of Yamaha gear fail for the same reason, power supply. Have had EV gear, Fender, Korg, Bose, Roland, and Boss fail for different reasons. But Yamaha (Bose too) uses low tolerance parts that fail either slowly over time or quickly as mine did. I stand by my statements.
@@Ricky-jj1jj I'm not going to sit here and argue with you, because I have been using these for over a year with no issues. I have some Yamaha DBR's, DXR's, and DXS subs I have absolutely no issues with. You just had a lemon. You're not the only that knows people who know electronics. I have pushed my StagePas 1K's to almost red lining for hours at a time and had no issues whatsoever. Stand by your statements if you want, but I am an experienced sound tech, a performing musician, and an audio engineer.
The Bluetooth on these are garbage. I'm looking to sell mine just after a few times using its just too muddy sounding for me. Unless you use that app . But I'm not trying to carry around and extra iPad or use an app on my phone . I may as well use a small mixer . But again the Bluetooth is crap Unless your very close to it

@@timothysmallaxe Understand these units have no high frequency horn driver.

It has great feedback rejection as do most of these tower arrays.
Just picked one up. Loved it at my last duo show. Question : How would you run an external mixer with it? Needing 5 channels this weekend.
The best way to do it is run into the "Link In" input. It bypasses the preamp section and uses just the crossover, the speakers, and the amp.
Thanx Robert, but comparing Turbosound IP 2000 Vs Yamaha Stegepas 1K, which one is louder ?

lights, no sound. The system uses a solenoid protection system that does
not protect the amp components, It seems only for a power surge. A
true protection circut monitors the transistors, ICs, speakers and
inputs. The 1K does not.
This is pro gear. I have usee mine in various applications and had no problem. Any piece if equipment can have failure regardless of how expensive it is. Heck Bose systems have failure. The Turbosound equivalent has issues. Don't say this isn't oro gear just because you had an issue.
@@BluesCat1980I have had more than an issue with Yamaha mixers, amps, PAs and recorders. The 1K is not pro grear when i see inside the cost cutting done on a introductory unit. I know electronics and people who do. We looked in the unit and we agree: Low quality, just getting by parts. All electronic gear manufactured have a 1% to 3% failure rate. Most will work for years. True, any system can fail. Have had 6 pieces of Yamaha gear fail for the same reason, power supply. Have had EV gear, Fender, Korg, Bose, Roland, and Boss fail for different reasons. But Yamaha (Bose too) uses low tolerance parts that fail either slowly over time or quickly as mine did. I stand by my statements.
@@Ricky-jj1jj I'm not going to sit here and argue with you, because I have been using these for over a year with no issues. I have some Yamaha DBR's, DXR's, and DXS subs I have absolutely no issues with. You just had a lemon. You're not the only that knows people who know electronics. I have pushed my StagePas 1K's to almost red lining for hours at a time and had no issues whatsoever. Stand by your statements if you want, but I am an experienced sound tech, a performing musician, and an audio engineer.
1k stands for the price😂 ripoff!
The Bluetooth on these are garbage. I'm looking to sell mine just after a few times using its just too muddy sounding for me.
Unless you use that app . But I'm not trying to carry around and extra iPad or use an app on my phone . I may as well use a small mixer . But again the Bluetooth is crap Unless your very close to it
I haven't had issues with mine at all.

I did first on a gig where I thought it was just a freak accident but then it happened again on another gig where I was about 15 feet away 🤦🏽♂️ so then the rest of the times I used it I just hard wired it.
It's hard to get decent hight end for vocals I even tried different mics 🤷🏽♂️ I
@@timothysmallaxe Understand these units have no high frequency horn driver. People expect these things to function like a regular top horn-loaded speaker with a sub, and they are different than that. .y grandpa always used to say, "You can't drive a dump truck and expect it to perform like Ferrari."
