January 22, 2001Yamaha Corporation of America, Professional Audio, introduces the portable,
high-performance MS400 Powered Loudspeaker System at Winter NAMM 2001. Delivering
400 watts of built-in power, the MS400 is a compact, lightweight, bi-amplified
speaker system that can be flown, stacked, pole-mounted or even used as a floor
monitor. The unit is currently available.
The high frequency section of the MS400 contains a single 2-in. titanium compression
driver coupled with a 90° x 60° constant directivity horn, and is driven
by a 100-Watt power amplifier. The 15-in. transducer, equipped with a light neodymium
magnet driven by a 300-Watt power amplifier, produces efficient mid and low frequency
reproduction. Utilizing Yamaha's EEEngine Technology, the internal bi-amplified
system maintains efficiency, low current draw, low heat and reduced weight.
"In keeping with our popular Club and Se Series speaker systems, the MS400
provides great sound," states Wayne Hrabak, marketing manager, Professional
Audio. "These powerful speakers are perfect for the gigging musician, corporate
and media presentations, small clubs or houses of worship."
In addition to uniform coverage and highly intelligible audio, the MS400 provides
a wide (50 Hz - 16 kHz) frequency response. Cabinets feature independent MIC and
LINE inputs, each with its own separate gain control. A 2-band EQ (Low, High)
provides basic, effective tone control, while a Master Volume controls the overall
output of the cabinet. Connectors include a balanced XLR for MIC input, plus 1/4-in.
and XLR connectors for LINE input. A parallel output jack allows multiple speakers
to be daisy-chained, with a headphone jack supplied for monitoring. Constructed
of durable polypropylene, the MS400 weighs just over 50 pounds. Optional accessories
include wall, ceiling and baton bracket mounts.
