| Yamaha's audio engineers have designed the new P-Series Power
Amplifiers as perfect mates to the popular Club Series
loudspeakers. To achieve this, they provided them with big power
output that matches the power handling capabilities of the Club
Series Speakers, and equipped them with YS Processing (Yamaha
Speaker Processing) to deliver a signal that is tuned to the
needs of these loudspeakers. Further matching is found in
Yamaha's proprietary YS Processing. Each model is equipped
with this specially designed circuit that delivers output
tailored to the specific response of the Club Series speakers for
superior audio quality and performance. All models feature both
XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs and Neutrik Speakon, phone plug, 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
professionalquality 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?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 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 lowfrequency from your Club Series loudspeaker system is
assured.
