Description
The versatile PX series power amplifiers lineup combines intelligent processing with high output power to meet the requirements of a vast range of sound reinforcement environments. 300W x 2 at 8Ω / 500W x 2 at 4Ω.
Features
- High power and efficient design: 500W (Stereo, into 4Ω)
- Driven by a newly developed Class-D amplifier engine.
- Stable 2-ohm drive capability.
- Supremely efficient amplifiers with low noise, reliable protection features.
- Amp Mode allows the user to configure the system without difficulty by selecting the input routing and output routing.
- Sophisticated signal processing allowing users to achieve consistent clarity and high-quality sound for either front-of-house or monitor configurations.
- Eight programmable presets for instant recall and reduced setup time that can be saved to a USB thumb drive and shared with other PX amplifiers.
- Presets specifically tuned for each model in Yamaha’s extensive lineup of passive speakers.
- A variety of input and output terminals.
- Panel locking function to keep your settings safe.
