Paano gamitin ang Yamaha Stagepas 400BT

1. Tanggalin o i-hiwalay ang mixer at speaker. Slide to the left ang lock para matanggal ang mixer sa speaker.

2. Buksan ang compartment sa kabilang speaker at kunin ang mga cables. Pull down naman ang lock para mabuksan ang compartment.

3. Ikabit ang power lead sa power input. Tapos ang dulo neto papuntang power outlet.

4. Ikabit ang speaker cable. Ang isang dulo sa mixer na color coded na pula. Tapos yung kabilang dulo sa speaker, color coded din na pula. Eto din ang gawin nyo sa kabilang speaker, paki kabit ng wire sa mixer at yung kabilang dulo sa speaker.

5. Palaging tandaan na ilagay muna ang master volume sa zero bago pindutin ang power on.

6. Bawat channel ay may icon o drawing para alam mo kng ano ang pwedeng ikabit dito gaya ng microphone, gitara o keyboards. Bago magkabit ng microphone, gitara o keyboards pati na rin ang Bluetooth, palaging ilagay sa zero ang volume level. Tapos pagnakakabit na ang cable o wire saka lng taasan ng dahan dahan ang volume. Siguradohin na ang master volume ay na-angat din para lumabas ang tunog sa speakers.

7. Para gumana ang Bluetooth, press and hold for 6 or more seconds at antayin na mabilis ang flashing ng ilaw para makaconnect ang iyong device. Buksan ang yung phone, tablet o iPad at hanapin sa bluetooth devices ang STAGEPAS 400BT. Tapos click connect. Pag connected na, dahan dahan i-angat ang volume sa Channel 7/8. Tapos merong switch to na stereo at mono. Mas malakas ang Bluetooth pag mono.

8. Paano ikabit ang wireless microphone, gamitin ang channel 3 or 4 kasi XLR combo ito. Ikabit ang cable ng wireless at siguradohin na zero ang volume level. Ikabit ang adaptor ng receiver, at iconnect sa power socket. Ayusin ang antenna at volume level ng receiver. Siguradohin na may battery ang wireless mic at ang switch nito ay may standby mode. Pag nasagitna ang switch standby sya, di pa yan on kaya walang sound nalalabas, pihitin pa pataas para naka-on ang mic.

9. Ready na ang unit natin.

                                                                    

Unboxing Yamaha Stagepas 400BT

Here are some facts about this Yamaha Stagepas 400BT.

It is well packed, pretty robust unit. Everything is protected and secured in the box.

Decent weight but can be carried by one person in short distances like from door to lounge. If you carry the speakers one by one, using the carry handle, I would say it's quite comfortable.

Not lightweight but lighter than most active/powered PA speakers. Total weight is 18.3 kg (individual speaker is 7.7 kg and mixer is 2.9 kg).

There are tons of features. Like it comes with this Ferrite Core that you clip/attach to the speaker cable. (Excellent absorption of high-frequency noise. Minimises noise without affecting signal quality).

Also a one knob master EQ where you can dial it to suit your venue i.e. for speeches, live performances or boosting the bass for dance music.

And as the name itself, Stagepas 400BT. It means 400 watt with bluetooth connectivity for wireless streaming of music.

This is it for now. I will learn more about the unit whilst using it and then I will update you for more reviews and demos. Cheers!

QTX LED DERBY FX BAR STAGE LIGHT SYSTEM Unboxing and Review

I recently bought this stage Par Bar lights from Dawsons Music and it was delivered by DPD. It was processed and delivered quickly. It was only two days and it arrived already. However, there were some minor problems. There were loose parts and one was thought it was broken. Although I managed to hammer and superglue it back. Just watch this video:

It is very easy to assemble and operate. First is to open the stand by spreading the tripod legs and tightening the screws/bolts. Then the Par Bar can be fixed on top and tighten the screws/bolts again. Connect the power lead and it will automatically switch on. You can use the remote or the controls behind the Par Bar. And that's it, you just need to find the right mix or combination of lighting. Also, it has builtin mic, so if you opt to use it to follow the music/beat, then it's entirely up to you which one you would want to choose.
