YAMAHA MSR100 TAKES THE STAGE
—Portable 100-Watt System Doubles as Personal
Monitor or P.A. Speaker—
ANAHEIM, CA—Yamaha Corporation of America, Professional
Audio, will introduce the portable two-way MSR100 Powered Monitor
Loudspeaker System at Winter NAMM 2003. Delivering 100 watts
of built-in power, the MSR100 features a compact, lightweight
design that has been engineered to function as a personal "hot
spot" stage monitor; as a utility speaker for electronic
drums, keyboards, guitars and vocals; or as a component of a
small-scale P.A. The unit carries an MSRP of $399 and is currently
available.
The high frequency section of the MSR100 contains a single
1" titanium compression driver coupled with a 90º x 60º
constant directivity horn. The 8" woofer produces efficient
mid- and low-frequency reproduction. In addition to uniform
coverage and intelligible audio reproduction, the MSR100 provides
wide (55Hz – 18kHz) frequency response.
"The MSR100 is the perfect low-profile tool for the gigging
musician, for corporate or media presentations, or wherever
intelligible speech and music reproduction are required,"
states Wayne Hrabak, marketing manager, Professional Audio.
"Customers will welcome both its small size and high output."
An integrated three-input mixer accepts a variety of inputs,
including a balanced XLR and two 1/4" phone jacks, each
with its own separate gain control. A two-band EQ (Low, High)
provides 3dB of cut or boost at the low end and 6dB of cut or
boost in the treble. A Master Volume controls the overall output
of the cabinet, and a parallel "link" output jack
allows multiple speakers to be daisy-chained.
Currently available, the MSR100 cabinets are constructed of
high-impact, durable molded polypropylene and weigh just over
22 pounds. Optional accessories include wall, ceiling and baton
bracket mounts.
"The MSR100 should really have a broad appeal,"
states John Schauer, product manager, Professional Audio, "It’s
equally useful as a powerful tool for musicians who need a P.A.
or monitor cabinet for smaller gigs or their personal studio."
