"Great Work Yamaha! Again!"

Feature:
I would give the unit a 10 if it had a front panel mute, which would be helpful at power down to avoid those dangerous pops and snaps. Extra attention to your powering down sequence will help to eliminate this.

Quality:
Solid, clean looks with exceptional sound reproduction. The unit EEE technology keeps this unit very cool, even after leaving it on all day and pumping 5 hours of band through it in the evening!

Value:
@ $614.00 Canadian. Can't beat it! Simple.

Desirability:
Not only is this a practical addition to the band's set up, it looks awesome. Has front panel handles that I believe also helps to dissipate heat generation. More expensive units do not have this must have feature. Besides, these things are not that light to comfortably carry without a handle.

Sound:
I am using this machine off of my Yamaha EMX5000-20 1000 Watt amp. The mains are powered from the board and the monitors (150W passive Yorkvilles) are driven by the P2500S. This machine at 8ohms delivers 250 Watts X's 2. Clarity is awesome. Tons of power, especially for monitors. We can actually hear ourselves!

Support:
Never had to return a Yamaha product - ever. That goes for my home stereo unit as well! Can't tell you how good service is.

Overall:
This unit should handle the rigors of gigging without a hiccup. The quality is built into this unit and it is quite obvious. I feel that for the purpose outlined, it should fit the bill nicely. It has so far!

"Yamaha Amp Got to Love it!"

Feature:
I love the sweepable crossovers, I would like to keep this amp for my main speakers and buy the p5000s to power my subs.

Quality:
Everything is first class, with it's features, the crossovers let you use the amp for subs or mains or monitors. The finish seems durable.

Value:
I got a great deal on mine.

Desirability:
I got it. Always do your home work before you buy speakers. Are they short throw speakers? Medium throw speakers? Many people think power will solve all their problems, when what they really need are some good horns in their main speakers that will throw out into the crowd. Take care of your equipment.

Sound:
I use this amp to power an 2 EV subs and 2 EV original Force speakers. Since the subs have crossovers I run a speaker cable from the power amp to the sub, then a speaker cable from the sub to the main speaker ontop of the sub. I have played a 60' x 115' room with 300 people using this amp for the mains. I do put my bass thru the mains also, but get most of my bass volume from my on-stage bass amp running 700 watts.

Support:
Not having to call them speaks toward the quality of the amp.

Overall:
I really like my Yamaha Amp, I would like to stay with the Yamaha Power AMP and buy another one also.

Description

From Our Catalog
The new P-Series amps are an ideal match to Yamaha's popular Club Series loudspeakers and deliver a robust amount of pro quality power in a wide range of configurations designed to suit most any need. To achieve this, they're designed with big power output, and equipped with YS (Yamaha Speaker) Processing to deliver a signal that is tuned to the needs of the Club Series loudspeakers. All models feature both XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs and Neutrik Speakon (tm), 1/4 in., and 5-way binding post outputs to make connections quick and easy. Other features include Yamaha's exclusive EEEngine technology which delivers high performance with exceptional efficiency, sweepable high and low pass filters for optimizing output to any loudspeakers, compact and durable 2U chassis, and variable speed cooling fans.

Big Output Power Delivered with Great Efficiency
The new P-Series Power Amplifiers deliver a robust amount of professional quality power in a wide range of configurations designed to suit most any need. In a 4- ohm bridged application, the P7000S delivers 3200 watts, the P5000S delivers 2600 watts, the P3500S 2000 watts, and the P2500S 1300 watts.

Those on a budget will find the lineup's high power output and affordable prices deliver higher quality without putting a strain on funds. Further savings are realized with extremely efficient operation utilizing Yamaha's exclusive EEEngine technology which keeps operational costs down by significantly reducing AC power consumption and heat generation.

The Perfect Match with Your Club Speakers
The new P-Series Power Amplifiers can be used with any loudspeaker system, but if you're using our Club Series, they will provide power and performance tailored to deliver maximum performance from your system. In an 8-ohm stereo application power output per channel on the P7000S is 700 watts, the P5000S 500 watts, the P3500S 350 watts, and the P2500S 250 watts. This wide selection lets you choose the amplifier that best matches the power handling capabilities of your speaker system.

All four models are equipped with independent sweepable high and low pass filters on each channel so you can optimize output for subwoofer or full range systems to provide peak audio quality and performance from any speaker system you may be using.

Light Weight Keeps Transport and Setup Easy
Look at the specifications and you'll notice that the P2500S and P3500S are respectably light in weight making transport and setup less strenuous. What's amazing though, is the comparison in weight per watt when you look at the P5000S and P7000S. The use of a switching power supply makes these two models very lightweight while maintaining superior audio quality.

Flexible Connectivity
To provide the most flexible connectivity possible, all four models are equipped Neutrik Speakon (tm) output jacks, and 1/4-inch output jacks for each channel in addition to 5-way binding post. Channel inputs consist of both XLR and 1/4-inch TRS jacks.

* Speakon is the registered trademark of Neutrik AG.

Other Features
The new P-Series' industrial design delivers a refined and impressive look with deep blue faceplates bordered in silver trim, handles, and mounts. The chassis is specially designed to provide added durability and strength. Continuously variable-speed fans mounted internally on either side of the front panel offer quiet, efficient cooling. Comprehensive protection consists of power on/off muting, DC detection, thermal protection, current limiting, and a protective cover for the attenuators is also supplied.

EEEngine
EEEngine (Energy Efficient Engine) Technology makes more efficient use of AC power by reducing power consumption and heat generation without degrading output power or sound quality. When power requirements are low, the system uses a highly efficient current buffer to transparently switch input power on and off as needed. As power requirements increase, an independently responding auxiliary power line supplies additional power as required. Output isn't compromised, as the auxiliary power line is driven by the power supply voltage, which maintains maximum output to the speaker load.

YS Processing
With YS Processing (Yamaha Speaker Processing), you get direct compatibility with our popular Club Series loudspeaker systems. This special circuit optimizes output from the power amplifier to match the characteristics of Club Series speaker systems delivering a signal that is precisely what the speaker requires. With the YS Processing system, extra-smooth highs and enhanced low frequency from your Club Series loudspeaker system is assured.
