The STAGEPAS 300 can be used in a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, 
from a full-band performance onstage to solo street performance—providing a 
powerful, high-performance system in an exceptionally compact and portable package. 

Connect a guitar or a microphone to the monaural input jacks (channels 1 to 4) and 
connect a keyboard to the stereo input jacks (channels 5/6 or 7/8). If you have a 
powered speaker, you can connect it to the MONITOR OUT jack for monitoring your 
vocals. For optimum results in band performance applications and to create a more 
powerful sound for music, make sure to set the SPEECH/MUSIC switch to MUSIC.

For best results when connecting a electric guitar or bass guitar to the mixer, use a direct box, 
preamp (guitar amp), or amp simulator.

 Using the included speakers, set up the system and try it out.

Connect the included speakers to the SPEAKER L/R jack. Connect the sources 
(guitar, other instruments) to the input jacks. For details, see “Connection

 

Example.”

Before connecting any devices, make sure to turn off the power for all devices (including microphones or the 
included speakers). To avoid any possible malfunction, use only the speaker cables included with the device. 
Also, before turning the power on or off, set the volume levels on all devices to minimum.

  For best results when connecting a electric guitar or bass guitar to the mixer, use a direct box, preamp (guitar 

amp), or amp simulator.

For low-level signals (such as that of microphones), set the switch to the MIC (        ) 
position.  For high-level signals (such as keyboard instruments and audio equipment), 
set the switch to the LINE (         ) position.

   

 

First, turn on the power to any connected devices, then turn 
the STAGEPAS 300 power on. If you've connected powered 
speakers to the mixer, turn on the power of the mixer first, 
then the powered speakers.

            

To avoid any loud, unexpected noise from the speakers, first turn on the 
power to those connected devices that are closest to the sound source.

Example: Sound source (CD player or instrument) 

→ STAGEPAS 300 → (Power amplifier)

When turning off the power to the system, reverse the order described above.

  

      

      

Adjust the LEVEL Control of the corresponding channel so that the “0” LED lights up 
momentarily.

If the LIMITER indicator flashes continuously, the internal power amplifier section is being 
excessively overloaded and may malfunction.

Reverb recreates the warm ambience of an actual performance space, such as a concert hall 
or a night club. 

       For each channel you want to apply reverb, set the 

For turning the power to the mixer on and off.

This lights when the POWER switch is ON. When the indicator flashes, the protection 
circuit is operating. Check that the speaker cable is correctly connected to the mixer and 
reapply the power.

The LEVEL meter shows the level of the output signal from the SPEAKER L/R jacks.

If the LIMITER flashes continuously, the internal power amplifier section is being excessively 
overloaded and may malfunction. Reduce the output level with the MASTER LEVEL control so 
that the indicator flashes only briefly on the highest transient peaks.

These output the mixed signal channels from 1 to 7/8, and the level is adjusted with the 
MONITOR OUT control. These jacks are convenient for connecting an external powered speaker 
for monitoring purposes.

These output the mixed signal channels from 1 to 7/8, and the level is unaffected by the MASTER 
LEVEL control. You can use these jacks, for example, to connect to an external recorder.

These output the mixed signal channels from 1 to 7/8, and the level is adjusted with the MASTER 
LEVEL control.  When connecting the included speakers, make sure to turn the power off first.  
Also, to avoid any possible malfunction, use only the included speakers and the speaker cables 
included with the device. 

Determines the signal level output from the MONITOR OUT jack.

NOTE: The MASTER LEVEL Control does not affect the signal via the MONITOR OUT Control. 

HIGH Determines the level of the high frequency band for each channel. Rotating the knob 

clockwise boosts the high frequencies and produces a clearer, crisper sound. If you start 
getting feedback (a high-pitched squealing sound) or you want to make the sound softer and 
less harsh, turn the knob counterclockwise slightly.

LOW  Determines the level of the low frequency band for each channel. Rotating the knob clockwise 

boosts the low frequencies and produces a deeper, warmer sound.  If you start getting 
feedback or you want to make the sound less boomy, turn the knob counterclockwise slightly.

Determines the overall level of the reverb or echo that is applied to the 
output signal. For best results, this level should not be set very high, to 
avoid possible feedback and to prevent the sound from becoming 
“muddy” with too much reverb.

Set this switch to ON to recreate the rich ambience of various performance environments, such 
as a concert hall or a night club. The switch lights up in green when REVERB is ON (          ).

Use these controls to adjust the volume balance among the various channels.

         To reduce noise, set any LEVEL controls on unused channels to the minimum.

Determines the volume of the signal output from the SPEAKER L/R jacks. This allows 
you to adjust the overall volume without changing the relative volume balance among 
the various channels (made with the LEVEL controls) or the tone settings (made with 
the Equalizer).

Set this switch to SPEECH (        ) to optimize the mixer settings and sound quality for 
speech purposes and announcements. Set this to MUSIC (        ) to optimize the mixer 
for musical performance. The switch lights up in yellow when it is set to MUSIC (        ).

The STAGEPAS 300 features a convenient storage 

compartment in the speaker box for packing the included 

power cable, speaker cable, Owner’s Manual (this booklet), 

and an optional microphone, as shown above. Remove 

the rear panel of the speaker and put in the things you 

need. Carry the STAGEPAS 300 with you, and you’ve got 

all you need to set up and perform—anywhere, anytime.

Set this switch to MIC or LINE for channels 1 to 4, depending on the level of the input signal. For low-level 
signals (such as that of microphones), set the switch to the MIC (        ) position.  For high-level signals 
(such as keyboard instruments and audio equipment), set the switch to the LINE (          ) position.

Input the left and right channels of a stereo signal into the respective odd and even channels of 
the mixer.These inputs are intended mainly for use with instruments and equipment having stereo 
outputs, such as a synthesizer or CD player.

NOTE: The channel 5/6 input provides two sets of jacks—both phone jacks and RCA-pin jacks. Either one one of these 

jacks may be used, but not both at the same time. Please connect to only one of these jacks on each channel.

For connecting a guitar, microphone, keyboard or other instrument/device. For low-level signals (such as 
that of microphones), set the MIC/LINE switch to the MIC (         ) position.  For high-level signals (such as 
keyboard instruments and audio equipment), set the MIC/LINE switch to the LINE (           ) position.

NOTE: On any given channel, you may use either XLR or phone jack, but not both. Please connect to 

only one of these jacks on each channel.

Connect the included power cable here.

Be sure to use the included power cord. Use of other cords 
may result in malfunction, heat generation, or fire.
