1[PROTECT] LED

Lights red when the protection circuit is activated. The protection circuit will be activated in the following cases, and the speaker output will be muted.

•Amplifier overheat is detected

•A current surge is detected

•The power to the unit is turned on: The protection circuit will be activated for a few seconds to avoid noise. After the unit is properly turned on, the LED will turn off.

If the protection circuit is activated, wait until the temperature of the amplifier section decreases. Alternatively, turn the power to the unit off and then back on. Then the protection circuit will be deactivated. If the protection circuit is not deactivated, please contact your Yamaha dealer.

2[POWER] LED

Lights green when the [I/O] (Power) switch (P) is turned on.

3[REVERB] controls (channels 1-3)

Determine the amount of reverb for each channel when the [REVERB] switch (D) is turned on.

4[EQ] controls

From the center (FLAT) position, turn these controls counterclockwise to cut the low range. Turn them clockwise to boost both low and high ranges.

5[CLIP] LEDs (channels 1-3)

Light red if signals are clipping due to excessive input levels. If these LEDs light up, lower the level of the corresponding input channels, or set the corresponding [MIC/LINE] switches to LINE.

6[LEVEL] controls

Use these controls to adjust the volume for each channel. To reduce noise, set LEVEL controls on unused channels to minimum.

7[MIC/LINE] switches

For low-level signals (including microphones), set the switches to the MIC (N) position. For high-level signals (including electronic musical instruments and audio devices), set the switches to the LINE (O) position.

8 STAGEPAS 1K Owner’s Manual

8[Hi-Z] switches (channel 2-3)

This switch is used when connecting a device directly to the mixer without a DI (direct box)—for example, instruments with passive pickups, such as an acoustic-electric guitar or electric bass without a battery. This function is effective only for the phone jack input.

9[BLUETOOTH PAIRING] switch/LED

This switch turns the Bluetooth audio connection on or off. It is also used to pair (register) a Bluetooth device (page 15).

The LED indicates the following status:

LED	Status
Off	Bluetooth standby mode
Lit steadily	Bluetooth connected
Flashing slowly	Searching for a Bluetooth device
Flashing rapidly	Waiting for Bluetooth pairing

NOTE

The STAGEPAS 1K enables you to pair (register) up to eight Bluetooth devices. Once the ninth Bluetooth device has been paired successfully, the pairing information for the Bluetooth device that was connected earliest will be deleted.

0[BLUETOOTH/CONTROL MODE] switch/LED

This switch determines whether or not you can control the unit from STAGEPAS Editor.

The LED indicates the following status:

	LED	Status
	Off	Control disabled
	Lit steadily	Connected to STAGEPAS Editor
	Flashing slowly	Waiting for connection to STAGEPAS
		Editor

A[MONO/ST MODE] switch/LED

Enables you to select whether the audio output from the speaker is monaural (MONO) or stereo (STEREO). Pressing this switch repeatedly will toggle between MONO and STEREO. If STEREO is selected, the L-channel signal of the stereo input will be output from this unit, while the R-channel signal will be output via the [LINK] output jack to the other STAGEPAS 1K.

The LED will light orange if STEREO is selected.

B[LINE] input jack

Supports stereo-mini plugs. Connect an audio device here. A signal from the Bluetooth device is always mixed to the ST IN channel.

Controls and Functions

C [MONITOR] control

Determines the signal level output from the [MONITOR] output jack (M). The [MASTER LEVEL] control does not affect this signal.

D[REVERB] switch/ LED

When this switch is on, the LED lights up, indicating that you can apply reverb (reverberation/echo).

E[REVERB TYPE/TIME] control

Determines reverb type and length. Turning the control clockwise lengthens the time of the selected reverb type.

HALL: Simulated reverb of a large space, such as a concert hall.

PLATE: Simulated steel plate reverb, producing a harder-edged and brighter sound.

ROOM: Simulated acoustic ambience of a small room.

ECHO: Echo effect suitable for vocals.

F[MODE] control

Use this control to adjust the overall sound pressure and frequency balance. The center position (MUSIC) is a basic setting. If you turn the control counterclockwise (SPEECH), it will cut unneeded low-range frequencies, and create an optimum setting for speech, or singing and playing an acoustic musical instrument. If you turn the control clockwise (CLUB), it will create an optimum setting for playback of sound sources, since the high and low ranges are boosted.

G[MASTER LEVEL] control

Determines the volume level of the signal output from the speaker and the level of the signal routed to the [LINK] output jack simultaneously. This allows you to adjust the overall volume without changing the relative volume balance among the various channels. The [LIMIT] LED lights when the limiter is applied.
