Great PA Sound Has Never Been Easier - Or Better Looking! If you've ever put together a high-performance sound system you know that it involves careful amplifier and speaker matching and configuration. Yamaha has taken care of that so you can get directly to great sound without the usual complications. The MSR400 powered speaker can be used alone or in combination with the MSR800W powered subwoofer to build any sound reinforcement system from modest to massive. They look great, too! In fact, they are so attractive that they can be placed as-is in many permanent installations without requiring any cosmetic cover-up. And, of course, they're more than rugged enough for demanding tour applications as well. Yamaha MSR400 powered speaker at a Glance: Powered loudspeakers give you matched components without the hassle Clear, clean highs and mids plus full bass Bi-amped system with phase-accurate crossover design Connect almost any source without fear! Easy to set up alone or with sub Powered loudspeakers for matched components without the hassle Whether for use on the road or in permanent installations, MSR400 powered speakers offer numerous advantages over separate components. The most obvious is that you don't need separate external amplifiers or the extra connections they require - you can plug your mixer's outputs directly into the speaker inputs. In a modest-size system this alone can eliminate an entire rack of amps. But there are sonic advantages as well. Optimum matching of amplifiers and speakers involves much more than simple impedance figures, and can be a formidable engineering task given the vast number of choices available. In the Yamaha MSR400 and MSR800W sub, the internal amplifiers have been ideally mated to their respective speakers in every way possible, delivering reproduction quality that only such stringent matching can achieve. Clear, clean highs and mids plus full bass The MSR400s feature punchy bass and exceptionally clear midrange that delivers vocals with outstanding quality. For maximum impact, add an MSR800W subwoofer to take care of the ultra-lows so the audience will hear - and feel - the full scope of your music. Add as many pairs of MSR400s as you need used for a scalable main system or stage monitors. Bi-amped system with phase-accurate crossover design The MSR400 is a bi-amplified 2-way system, featuring 400 watts maximum burst power that drives the 12" cone woofer and 1.75" compression driver. Frequency division is accomplished prior to the power amplifiers via a line-level electronic crossover. This eliminates the problems with loss, distortion, and phase that are normally unavoidable in conventional passive crossover networks. Another advantage of the MSR400 system is that power can be optimally assigned to the low-frequency and high-frequency drivers for optimum efficiency as well as smooth, natural balance across the entire audio spectrum. Connect almost any source without fear! The 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 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. Easy to set up alone or with sub Speaker placement is as much a performance issue as it is a convenience and aesthetic issue. Proper placement will give you optimum sound as well as coverage while being as unobtrusive as possible. Of course, the more options you have the better. The MSR400 can be stacked or pole-mounted (there's even a pole-mount hole provided on the companion MSR800W Powered Woofer). And the MSR400 is flyable so you can benefit from the unrivalled coverage and positioning precision that only ceiling suspension can provide. Yamaha MSR400 powered speaker Features: Bi-amplified system with 12" woofer and 1.75" high-frequency driver Frequency Response 50Hz-20kHz Maximum SPL 121dB (@1 meter) Dispersion 90° (H), 40° (V) Bass reflex enclosure Output power 225 watts LF, 75 watts HF Burst Power 400W total Inputs XLR, 1/4" TRS Level control EQ: Low +/- 3dB at 55Hz, High +/- 3dB at HF Power Switch with LED indicator Red LED clipping indicator Dimensions (W x H x D)        16" x 25-3/4" x 13-7/8" Weight 50.7 lbs The MSR400 looks and sounds great in any application! Sweetwater Expert Advice     "I own these speakers. I use them in the studio when I need to crank my mixes and feel the beat, I use them live because every stage I have ever played on has old wedge monitors from the '80s, and I use them when I DJ. They are lightweight, they pack a lot of punch, and they sound great. They also hit a price point a lot of other monitors do not. These in combination with the sub would be a perfect sound reinforcement solution for anyone."
