Jam right with this Yamaha stereo power amp It has full-bodied sound, immense power output and versatile features ideal for a variety of applications.

The 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

The 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

… read more The P-Series Power Amplifiers can be used with any loudspeaker system, but if you're using the 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 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.

Other Features

The 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 the 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. read less

"Great bang for your buck!"

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Overall I'm very satisfied with the amp, and will replace others I have with more of this line.
Sound
As with the older "big-iron" Yamaha's I have owned/used, the sound quality is top notch. I'd rate it a step up from any of the entry level offerings from Crown, Behringer, Peavey, Mackie and the like. Clean, smooth power all night long. It seems to handle loads much better that the older amps I have, stays much cooler driving dual 15" subs, and responds smoother when driven into clipping.
Features
The features available heavily influnced my decision to buy this amp. Sweepable hi/lo pass filters(12db/oct), bridge-dual mono-stereo switch, On/off output mutes, low power consumption, 2U case and relative light weight. None of the other entry level amps offer all this.
Quality
Build quality looks strong both externally and internally. Well laid out and easy to use controls. A rigid case with pro quality connectors that should last many years.
Value
Value? This amp provided may target features, power, and weight at a cost only slightly above some of the competitions enrty level offerings with none of the features. Comparable to a QSC PLX, only cheaper.
