Yamaha Announces MSR400 Powered Loudspeakers
 January 21, 2005
Designed with gigging musicians, DJs, corporate and media presenters, schools, houses of worship and othet venues in mind, Yamaha offers the MSR400.
The MSR400 (MSRP $699) is a compact, bi-amplified system delivering 400 watts of built-in power. A 300-watt low frequency power amplifier drives the 12" woofer, while a 2" titanium compression driver is separately powered with a 100-watt high frequency power amplifier and coupled to a 90 x 40-degree constant-directivity horn. Using Yamaha's proprietary EEEngine
Technology, the internal amplifiers maintain efficiency, with reduced weight, low current draw and low heat.
The MSR400 provides a wide (50 Hz -- 20 kHz) frequency response, uniform coverage and intelligible audio, thanks in part to Yamaha's Bass Reflex bi-amplified design. A 2-band EQ and master level provide basic, effective tone control and output volume.
Connectors include a balanced XLR MIC input, plus balanced TRS phone and XLR LINE inputs. All connections are paralleled, allowing multiple speakers to be daisy-chained.
Constructed of high impact polypropylene, the MSR400 weighs 51 pounds, and can be flown, stacked, wall- or pole-mounted, or used as a floor monitor. The MSR400 can also be paired with the new Yamaha MSR800W Subwoofer for additional low frequency support.
