Yamaha Stagepas 200 or DBR10 & mixer & reverb pedal

savbalac

I'm considering buying either an all-in-one PA speaker with mixer & effects: Yamaha Stagepas 200),
 or separates: Yamaha DBR10, I have a mixer (no reverb, but have a reverb pedal).

The Stagepas 200 is rated at 125dB max. and is 150w (LF) + 30w (HF) max.
The DBR10 is rated at 129dB max and is 500w (HF) + 200w (HF) max, 260w (LF) + 65 (HF) continuous.

The Stagepas 200 would mean fewer items to carry, plug in, pack away, etc.

Questions:
1. Have you tried both - which sounds better?
2. Would the Stagepas 200 be loud enough?

This is for acoustic guitar & vocals - in small/medium-sized pubs only.

Yamaha actives are very good.. used the 12” in a few situations.    A little more headroom but would be better with an fx enabled mixer like an Yamaha MG10XU for nice reverbs on the guitar and vox.

Used a Stagepass system too.  Does the job and an easy load in and you can add another player or singer easily.   Ideal for a solo act.

If you strum hard and like it loud, go for the extra headroom.
