Can anyone explain this
"Yamaha STAGEPAS 300 description:
8-channel (4 mono & 2 stereo) powered mixer removable from its host
speaker
(mic stand mountable)
2 x 150W class D power amplifiers"
from advertising blurb.
Each pa module has 100W marked on it and the mains voltage detail near
the
IEC socket says 70W .
Which bit don't you understand?

The owner does not believe , when it was working, that it was 150W per
channel compared to other kit he'd used. Is it only required to state no
load or 10% load,say, power consumption on the mains plate ? Even accounting
for the 2:1 music power to RMS.

I think the wattage figures are just made up to suit the market, the
only real way to tell is to get one on the bench and take measurements.

I`ve heard those Yamaha units and I think that they are a poor sounding
system and quite underpowered for the kind of work that many owners use
them for[1]. Of course, people buy them because they are light in
weight, it`s amazing how weight takes priority over performance for a
great many buyers.

IMO of course
