Always welcome to hear your views very pragmatic thanks 🙏🏾

To boost mid range, turn the knob to “Club” and lower the bass on each channel all the way, and adjust it up as needed. The sound fills the room better.

The dolly plates for these are for hotel and other in-house AV. They keep everything on wheels so any tech can just grab and go.

I'm an acoustic/vocal artist and I've used this at several gigs, some of them have been outside. It's always had enough volume for me. Nice clarity, and I think the mids sound great for what I do. You can get lots more volume out of it with the use of an outboard mixer (I've just been using a small Yamaha 4 channel I got for around $150).

Using a separate mixer in the stereo channel gives you a lot more volume. I’ve got one 1K & get plenty out of it with the mixing desk, I don’t use the other 3 channels.

What about a review of the Mackie Thump Go...especially on the effectiveness of the feedback suppression..maybe even comparing to other similar attempts to suppress feedback..am I asking too much? 🙂.

Hey, I believe you are spot on with the evaluation of these speakers. However, I’m nearly 59 now and simply had to get away from my huge and heavy passive speakers with separate amps. I have two of these each linked out to two harbingers V218’s and was impressed enough that I’m doubling down and getting another set for a left/right set up for my band. I also bought the Mackie DL32s mixer to lighten the load even more. With two per side the SPL will be enough for what I’m doing even though I heard these were not designed to run side by side I’m doing it anyway. lol. So, 4 of these on top of 4 subs is where I’m going. I eq’d with pink noise with the subs and it really sounded great. Thanks for your insight man! Yeah, there is a little gap missing but these will mainly be for vocals and drums primarily. The set up time will be 1/10th from what I use to do. Keep up the good work friend!

Amazing review! You have any advice for two vocals and classic/acoustic guitar (played with looper)? We wanna play in bars, caffee yards and probably smaller weddings. We were thinking abou Bose L1 pro8, but not sure…market has to offer more nowdays. How about LD Maui 28? Worth cheching?

We used one of these at a gig recently (5 piece band) for vocals and keyboard only. We were sceptical but you know what, it did the job very well. Guitars were using backline amps and this was plenty loud enough for 2x vocals and a keyboard going through it. Ok, the venue wasn't packed (60-70 people at least) and the sound was fine out of one of these.

Is it possible to use the link function as a kind of daisy chain? .. more than two link in a chain, of course mono?

Hi love your review on the Stagepas 1k, I had 2 and I'll be totally honest here, your right on what your saying, I say had the yamaha 1k's , I did like them, but 119Db is not enough for a band situation, they are perfect for 1 man and his guitar, I did have keyboards going through the 1k's it drove them into red, and as you said when your venue gets really packed and your driving up the volume they just can't handle it, I even put them on beer crates to get the speaker above peoples heads, dj, I have to say really impressed me, again for small venues, yes they really really do shine with clarity on Guitar and I even heard sounds coming from the keyboards the I never heard on my more high range pa, It performs even better again when connected to your own dry desk, more control also adding a monitor you are able to have the separate mix to your own liking, connected monitor to the 1k itself, you have no separate mix capability, Stagepas 1k is a nice system but more suited to just one man but definitely not driving your keyboards through, and the one knob Eq hmmm! for that reason I sold on, and looking now for something more powerful and has everything that's needed to put on a great performance but 119 DB, no not for me, very well built yes but it could have been better..

Thanks for the thorough review! I'm looking to get a couple of speakers with this form factor [heavy woofer on floor, light tweeters on top for easy setup by weaklings] for DJ applications. The built-in mixer would be irrelevant since DJs use external mixers. I've used 2 x L1 Pro8 for a year and they sound great, but not quite enough SPL or low end for the slightly larger venues we'll be occupying. The Bose L1 Pro16 is the natural upgrade, and they do indeed sound excellent, but the build quality is kinda crummy (cheap plastic, wobbly column). The Pro8 has the same build quality, but because it's smaller it's much less of an issue. Does the EV Evolve 50 sound good in this context? Or something else?

Nice video Brian. Next question… I current run the DZR 15. Which is the better buy the DZR 10 or the DXR 10. Inputs aren’t important to me, I run ever gig with a Mackie mixer. I’m looking for something that can handle the 100 person and under events, but also has a high SPL to help me when I have a prom. The kids scream much lol.

Hi it was absolutely educational video , Great work, 👍 👌 💝💞💝💖💞💝💖

Does a keyboard with vocals sound good with Stagepass 1k ? Does it have good midrange " round sound " like EV ?

I have a question, I think you can help me... I'm looking for a practical and quality sound, I play in bars, weddings and graduations in different formats... acoustic guitar drums and voices sometimes with saxophone and keyboard I'm in doubt about getting this stagepas 1k system and the electro voice zlx12p, which one do you think is better????

I find your extemporaneous "babbling" and oops-a-daisies infinitely more preferable to scripted corporate-speak. You know your stuff, and all seems quite honest.

I'm a.mobile Dj in the UK and I haven't had a problem with.volume. I do.take a second unit in for my larger functions and I have had lots of positive feedback regarding the sound quality. Maybe your function rooms are on a bigger scale than over here but generally I play rooms from 50 to 200 people

I typically play 100-200 person venues, one man band. Could this accommodate that for volume? I’d be replacing my two QSC K8’s

How about one man producing thumping techno grooves at a moderate volume in small spaces, house parties, etc...?

Добрый день ! Для караоке системы дома 2 таких системы подойдут? Помещение 50м2 Или turbosound ip 500 ×2 будет достаточно и не хуже?😂 Или 2× rcf jmix 8?

Can u plz help me I want to start busking singing which speaker and mic and power supply I should buy plz help I am not getting any help from other sources plz reply

Please compare this to the HK Audio Polar 12????!!!!!! PPPPP Please!

Yamaha should introduce a next generation Stagepass 2K model with increased SPL to 130db and an extra mic input for 4 mic inputs. It also needs a proper eq and dynamics per channel like the EV Evolve 30M or JBL PRX ONE. Yamaha needs to stay competitive as they've got a lot of competition in the portable line array PA system market from the likes of EV, Bose, LD Systems, Mackie, Turbosound etc.

My daughter is a singer using the stagepass 600 bt to backing tracks what would you recommend for the next step up ie doing 2-300 people I was recommended this but now I’m unsure as you said right rig for the gig
