The POWER indicator turns off.

Power does not turn on

• Is the included power cord correctly connected to a power outlet?

Power shuts down suddenly

• Is the vent on the top panel of the mixer blocked? Since inadequate ventilation can result in overheating the 

mixer, the power may be turned off automatically and the mixer may reset itself.

• Is the LIMITER flashes continuously? If the internal power amplifier section is excessively overloaded, the 

power may be turned off automatically and the mixer may reset itself.

No sound is heard

• Are external instruments (including a microphone) or speakers correctly connected to the mixer?

• Are the LEVEL controls of all relevant channels and/or the MASTER LEVEL control set to appropriate levels?

• Are the SPEAKERS L/R jacks connected to the included speakers (500S)?

• Is the POWER indicator flashing? There may be a short in the speaker cable or the connection may be 

faulty. Check that the speaker cable is correctly connected to the mixer and reapply the power.

• If sound is not still output, contact your Yamaha dealer.

Sound is distorted or noise is produced

• Are the LEVEL controls of all relevant channels and/or the MASTER LEVEL control set to appropriate levels?

• Are the MIC/LINE switches of each channels set appropriately?

• Are both XLR type and phone type jacks on channels 1–4 being used (connected) at the same time? 

Please connect to only one of these jacks on each channel.

• Is the input signal from the connected device set to an appropriate level?

• Use channels 1 or 2, and set the LIMIT/COMP switches to COMP (     ). Compression may be effective in 

preventing distortion.

Sound is not loud enough

• Are the LEVEL controls of all relevant channels and/or the MASTER LEVEL control set to appropriate levels?

• Are the MIC/LINE switches of each channels set appropriately?

• Are both XLR type and phone type jacks on channels 1–4 being used (connected) at the same time?

• Is the PHANTOM switch set to ON when using a condenser microphone?

Reverb is not applied to the sound

• Are the REVERB switches of each channels set to ON (     )?

• Is the REVERB control set to an appropriate level?

Getting a more powerful sound from the speakers

• Is the SPEECH/MUSIC switch set to MUSIC (     )?

• Are the Equalizer controls (HIGH/LOW) set to appropriate levels?

Getting a clearer sound for announcements

• Is the SPEECH/MUSIC switch set to SPEECH (     )?

• Are the Equalizer controls (HIGH/LOW) set to appropriate levels?

Using a single speaker

• You can use a single speaker. If you use a single speaker, the mixer outputs just one channel of the stereo 

signal, left or right.

Outputting the signal for monitoring

• Connect a powered speaker to the MONITOR OUT jack. The MONITOR OUT jack outputs the signal prior 

to routing through the MASTER LEVEL control. Adjust the level of output signal from the MONITOR OUT 

jack with the MONITOR OUT control. The MONITOR OUT control does not affect the MASTER LEVEL 

control. If only the L (left) MONITOR OUT jack is used, the mixer mixes the left and right signals and sends 

them to the jack.

The STAGEPAS 500 features a convenient storage compartment in the speaker box for packing the included 

power cable, speaker cable, Owner’s Manual (this booklet), and an optional microphone and the cable, as 

shown above. Remove the rear panel of the speaker and put in the things you need. Carry the STAGEPAS 

500 with you, and you’ve got all you need to set up and perform—anywhere, anytime.

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:

Water warning

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet 

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill 
into any openings.

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

If you notice any abnormality

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a 

sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells 
or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the 
power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the 
device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the 

power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the 
device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

     

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage 
to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used 

for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold 

the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

Location

• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or more people. 

Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in 
other injury, or cause damage to the device itself.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• 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.

• Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated location. Make sure 

that there is adequate space between the mixer and surrounding walls or 
other devices: at least 30 cm at the sides, 30 cm behind and 30 cm 
above. If the mixer is to be used installed into the speaker cabinet, make 
sure to allow adequate space between the speaker and the surrounding 
walls or other devices: at least 30 cm at the sides, 30 cm behind and 30 
cm above. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly 
causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.

• Do not use the speaker's handles for suspended installation. Doing so 

can result in damage or injury.

• Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. 

Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may 
cause feedback and may damage the speakers.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold 

or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the 
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the 
internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might 

accidentally fall over.

• Do not block the vents. This mixer has ventilation holes at the top to 

prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do 
not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation 
can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or 
even fire.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, 

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, 
both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

Connections

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all 

devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume 
levels to minimum.

• For the SPEAKERS jacks, Use only the included speakers (500S) and 

speaker cables. Use of other types of speakers and cables may result in 
damage to the device(s), or even fire.

Handling caution

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the 

device LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the 
device should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device 

(vents,, ports, etc.).

• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) 

into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, ports, etc.) If this 
happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from 
the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha 
service personnel.

• Do not use the device for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable 

volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you 
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting. Prolonged use in this 

condition could cause overheating and result in fire.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and 

avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Protective Circuit (poly switch)

All full-range loudspeakers are fitted with a self-resetting poly switch that 
protects the high-frequency driver from damage caused by excessive 
power. If a loudspeaker cabinet loses high-frequency output, immediately 
remove power from the unit and wait for two to three minutes. This should 
be long enough to allow the poly switch to reset. Reapply power and check 
the performance of the high frequency driver before continuing, with the 
power reduced to a level that does not cause the poly switch to interrupt 
the signal. 

Interference From Cell Phones

Using a cell phone near the speaker system can induce noise. If this occurs, 
move the cell phone further away from the speaker system.

Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal, and often occurs when the 
speaker is handling program material with heavy bass content.

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

Always turn the power off when the device is not in use. 

The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, 
volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified 
Yamaha service personnel about replacing defective components.
