Yamaha Portable PA System with Bluetooth Stagepas 600BT

Upgraded from a Harbinger "starter PA" from Guitar Center. Nice product but needed more. I've been using this PA steadily for two years. Local gigger. I highly recommend it. Here's why.I play 6 and 12 string acoustic electric guitars and sing. Sometimes with a woman vocalist/guitarist. For much of my work I use backing tracks. The mixer that comes with this PA does a lot, all in one place, easy to use.1] Bluetooth works flawlessly with my laptop computer providing the tracks' backup2] built-in reverb is very flexible - lots/little - sounds good3] 6 inputs accommodate XLR and 1/4" for more flexibility4] monitor sends provide me with real time mix going to house5] plenty of power, more than enough for small or medium size venues6] packs up and sets up easily7] the feedback supressor: set and forget, work very well not perfectEasily add in pedals for additional professional effects. (TC-Helicon Harmony Singer for one)I am very very happy with this PA and it just might be your next upgrade.

Great!!!

Used this for a small wedding (150) guests playing dinner music and it worked well. It was plenty loud although if you’re wanting to use it for a DJ set I would recommend getting some subs.For home use, I love the Bluetooth functionality. Works really well to pair it with the phone. Many a karaoke night have been had using this thanks to the mixer on the back. The effects are great and easy to use and the feedback reduction works well.Honestly have no downsides to speak of except that I wouldn’t mind more bass. These things are decent but no comparison to having a true subwoofer obviously.

I haven't used this in a real-life setting yet, but based on my testing at home tonight and my experience with similar systems, I think I'm going to make good use of this for small events where I don't want to drag my "big guns" with me.I will write a full review further down the road, but for now, it's important for anyone (like me), who thinks the 600BT mixer can be controlled remotely via phone or tablet, to know that the StagePas Controller app only works with the StagePas 200 and the 1k models! You can use the BlueTooth in the 600bt to play music into your system without a $3 cable (big deal), but you cannot be that cool dude who walks around the room pushing faders on your iPhone. this was a big deal to me when I first found out, but I have since gotten over it. I never really liked the feel of a virtual mixer, anyway.Initial thoughts: This thing is really well thought-out and puts out a good amount of power for, say, a spoken-word presentation in a community center, or even a small outdoor press conference (AC needed). I wish there was an option to turn the mixer face-in for transporting, but none of these portable systems seem to have that option. I also intend to carry some more robust speaker cables, as the ones included are like cake string.The reverb is pretty tacky, but I won't be needing it. For my purposes, this, along with the subwoofer and monitor outputs, are just a waste of space. I wonder if they could have made this significantly less costly if they had skipped all this - and the BlueTooth.One thing I noticed right off the bat is that the 10" speakers deliver a much more pleasant sound than the 8" speakers most of these systems have. Those will come in handy before and after the presentations I do sound for, as I like to start and end the night with some music.Anything else is going to take some time to form an opinion on. For now, just keep that BlueTooth tidbit in mind and look for something else if you absolutely can't sit in front of the mixer when you perform or provide sound reinforcement.

Excelente equipo, fácil de instalar y de usar para cantar y tocar mi guitarra. Lo recomiendo 100%

Been using these for 6 months in a stationary setting, although they are portable if required. Packs a nice punch and the built in EQ/Amp makes it a complete package. I added a subwoofer, although for most small rooms you may not need it.Overall a good value.+Bluetooth sounds and works great+Added an external wireless mic and that works well too.

My girlfriend loves it. Loud and sounds good. Has plenty of hook ups for mics and guitars. Bluetooth is a great feature too.

Works as it should.
