PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/power cord

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the mixer. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the mixer.

• Use only the supplied power cord. If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the one you purchased, the included power cord may not be compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

• When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the device will not be disconnected from the power source.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection.

Do not open

• This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Hearing loss

• Avoid setting all equalizer controls and level controls to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may result in feedback that can cause hearing loss and damage the speakers.

Maintenance

• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning the device.

Handling caution

Location

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over and cause injuries.

• Do not block the vents. This mixer has ventilation holes at the top and sides to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the mixer on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the mixer, or even fire.

• If you install the mixer apart from the speakers:

- Do not cover it with any cloth.

- Make sure the top surface faces up; do not install on its

sides or upside down.

- Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated

location. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire. Make sure that there is adequate space around the device: at least 30 cm above, 30 cm at the sides and 30 cm behind.

• If you lay the speaker flat on its side or like a stage monitor, make sure to remove the mixer first.

• Do not use the speaker’s handles for suspended installation. Doing so can result in damage or injury.

• Do not hold the bottom of the speaker when transporting or moving it. In doing so, you may pinch your hands under the speaker, and result in injury.

• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the vents or panel of the mixer, and the ports of the speaker.

• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the vents or panel of the mixer, and the ports of the speaker. If this happens, immediately turn off the power of the mixer, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it. Avoid applying excessive force to the buttons, switches or connectors to prevent injuries.

• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting. Prolonged use in this condition could cause overheating and result in fire.

• Avoid pulling the cables such as microphones to prevent injuries or damage to the speakers and mixer by causing them to fall.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device.

LED Status

Off Bluetooth off

Lit steadily Bluetooth connected

Flashing slowly Waiting for Bluetooth connection

Flashing fast Pairing a Bluetooth device

NOTE

The STAGEPAS 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 PHANTOM (CH1/2) switch /LED

When this switch is on, the LED lights up, indicating that phantom power is available for channels 1 and 2. Turn this switch on to supply power to condenser microphones or a DI (direct box).

Notice

Follow the important precautions below to prevent noise and possible damage to external devices and the unit when you operate this switch.

• Be sure to leave this switch off if you do not need phantom power, or when you connect a device that does not support phantom power to channels 1 or 2.

• Do not connect/disconnect a cable to/from channels 1 and 2 while this switch is on.

• Turn the LEVEL control of the channels 1 and 2 to the minimum before operating this switch.

6 SUBWOOFER OUT jack

This connects to a powered subwoofer, and outputs a mono signal. If this jack is in use, the low frequencies below 120Hz to the SPEAKERS L/R jacks will be cut. The output level is linked to that of the MASTER LEVEL control

7 REVERB FOOT SW jack

This connects to an unlatched-type footswitch, such as the Yamaha FC5. This can be useful for solo performers, since you can toggle the reverb on and off as needed with your foot.

8 SPEAKERS L/R jacks

Use the included speaker cables to connect the dedicated speakers.

A MONITOR OUT control

Determines the signal level output from the MONITOR OUT jacks The MASTER LEVEL control does not affect the MONITOR OUT signal.

B Equalizer controls (HIGH, MID*, LOW) *Only for STAGEPAS 600BT

This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid*, and low frequency bands. Setting the control to the “D” position produces a flat response in the corresponding band. Turning the control clockwise boosts the selected band. If you start getting feedback, turn the control back slightly.

C REVERB switch/LED

When this switch is on, the LED lights up, indicating that you can apply reverb. This switch is off when you turn on the unit. (Unlike other switches, this switch cannot be locked.)

STAGEPAS 600BT/STAGEPAS 400BT Owner’s Manual

Controls and Functions

D REVERB TYPE/TIME control

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

HALL: Simulated reverb of a large space, such as a concert hall. PLATE: Simulated metal plate reverb, producing a more hard-edged and bright

sound.

ROOM: Simulated acoustic ambience of a small room. ECHO: Echo effect suitable for vocals.

E REVERB controls (channels 1-4)

Determines the amount of reverb for each channel when the REVERB switch on.

F ST/MONO switches

STAGEPAS 600BT (channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10) STAGEPAS 400BT (channels 5/6, 7/8)

Setting the switch to ST (STEREO) (N) will assign the signals from the L and R channels to each left and right speaker and output each signal. Setting the switch to MONO (O) will mix the output of different L and R sources to output the same signal to both the left and right speakers. For keyboards with mono output, guitars, or other non-stereo sound sources, when the switch is set to MONO (O), the stereo input jacks can be conveniently used as multiple mono jacks.

G LEVEL meter

The LEVEL meter shows the level of output signal from the SPEAKERS L/R jacks.

Notice

If the unit is operated at a sufficiently high volume to make the LIMITER LED flashes continuously, the internal power amplifier section is being excessively overloaded and may malfunction. Reduce the output level with the MASTER LEVEL control so that the indicator flashes only briefly on the highest transient peaks.

C is

K MASTER EQ (equalizer) control

Use this control to adjust the overall sound frequency balance. The center position “MUSIC” is a basic setting. If you turn the control counterclockwise, it will create an optimum setting for speech, cutting unneeded low range frequencies. If you turn the control clockwise, it will create an optimum setting for playback of sound sources, since the low range is boosted. If you turn the control further clockwise, the LED will light up, indicating that the bass boost function turns on, giving you an even more powerful bass tone.

L MASTER LEVEL control

Determines the volume of the signal output from the SPEAKERS L/R jacks. This allows you to adjust the overall volume without changing the relative volume balance among the various channels.

M Vents

These are the vents for the cooling fan inside the mixer. Do not block the vents when in use.

N AC IN jack

Connect the included power cord here.

O P (power) switch

For turning the power of the mixer on (O) and off (N).

NOTE

Rapidly turning the unit on and off in succession may cause it to malfunction. After turning the unit off, wait for about 5 seconds before turning it on again.

H POWER LED

This LED lights when the power is turned on by pressing the power switch.

I FEEDBACK SUPPRESSOR switch/LED

When this switch is on, the LED lights up, indicating that feedback is automatically suppressed. (This configuration utilizes a seven-band notch filter. When this switch or the power switch is off, the notch filter will be reset.)

J LEVEL controls

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