Yamaha MSR400: Powered 2-Way Speaker System

The Yamaha MSR400 is a bi-amplified 2-way system, featuring 400 watts maximum burst power that drives the 12" cone woofer and 1.75" V.C. compression driver. Frequency division is accomplished prior to the power amplifiers via a line-level electronic crossover, eliminating the problems with loss, distortion, and phase that are virtually unavoidable in conventional passive crossover networks. Another advantage of this type of system is that power can be optimally assigned to the low-frequency and high-frequency units for optimum efficiency as we all smooth, natural balance across the entire audio spectrum.

The Yamaha MSR400 accepts nominal input levels ranging from –36 dB to +4 dB, meaning that you can directly connect any source from microphones to professional line-level gear. Three parallel-connected connectors are provided – two balanced XLR-type connectors and one balanced phone jack – that can be used as either inputs or parallel outputs. The Yamaha MSR400 also features an input level control for matching with the source signal. Low and high EQ controls can be used to adjust the respective bands over a plus-or-minus 3dB range.

The Yamaha MSR800W is a 15 Inch, 800 Watt, powered subwoofer that provides extended bass coverage to compliment the Yamaha MSR400. The Yamaha MSR400 can be pole mounted on top of the Yamaha MSR800W for easy setup.
