10 out of 10
Feature:
Features could include a few more effects. We use echo and I haven't researched the best setting for us. This is only due to not having the time to experiment. I don't really understand the speakon cable setup on this unit. They should have used either all Speakon or 1/4" but not mixed both. The main takes 1 speakon and 1 quarter whereas the same with the monitor hookup. I love the compression settings for the mics. I'm also not sure about playing an acoustic electric through this - which I will be trying this on a gig this weekend - that's another reason why I rated an 8 here.
Quality:
This product is made very well. I've owned it for over 2 years now and gig several times a month. It's very dependable. I made a plastic cover for it. Hope in the future that they will offer a cover. I keep my equipment pristine. This unit has longevity. I've never had a PA as light as this unit. Sometimes you wonder if there's any electronics in it! YAMAHA has stepped up to find out what musician's want. That's a large accomplishment!
Value:
I beleive that this product is well worth the cost. I make this statment based on its performance and usage over the past 2+ years.
Desirability:
I like the tilt feature because it's easy to see the controls in tilt position. I don't recall where I put the removable feet for this because I believe they are necessary due to the light weight of the PA. I've been putting an extra guitar strap under the back when I tilt it. I've go to find those feet! You won't believe how light this unit is.
Sound:
The sound with this unit is phenomenal! Nothing gets in the way of your vocals when using this PA. Adjustments are up to the user to accomplish the right mix. This unit is compatible with most any style because of the EQ and overall adjustments suited to the user. It sounds great with my EON 1500 speakers. I use this live on our band gigs. There hasn't been a room or outdoor situation where we couldn't carry the sound. We do not mike the band and use our system for vocals only. I also run music through it on our breaks.
Ease of Use:
Modifying the sound is very easy with a turn of a knob or an adjustment up or down on the EQ. As i stated previously I don't care for the speakon and 1/4" hookup for main and monitor. Although, this does not hinder the quality and sound of this unit.
Support:
I haven't had to call the company for anything since I have owned this product. Although, I'm sure they support their products. The history of the name says a lot about a company. I have a Yamaha acoustic guitar I purchased in 1982 which plays excellent to this day.
Overall:
I will wear this unit out and once that happens, go buy another one. What I like least about it is speakon and 1/4" hookup. What I like most about it is the light weight and power.
