The PSR-E583 model as a modulation wheel and an expression pedal input. The PSR-E583 has more voices — 890 voices vs. 860 voices — including four more Super Articulation Lite voices (19 SArt vs. 15 SArt). PSR-E483 USA MSRP is $499 USD and MAP is $400. PSR-E583 MSRP is $599 and map is $490. Thus, the extra E583 goodies cost $90 more.

The PSR-E583 adds only 0.6 pound (0.3kg) of weight — 16.1 pounds (7.3kg) vs. 15.5 pounds (7.0kg). The E583 uses the larger PA300C 16V power supply while the E483 uses the PA-150 12V adapter. Whoa! Punters should take note of the different power requirements and should not interchange adapters!

The front panel and case have a clean, professional look in black. The redesigned LCD display has a “grid” format.

If this sounds a lot like the older PSR-E473, well, you’re right. It is an incremental step, not a revolution. Still, Yamaha makes good quality instruments and the PSR-E483/E583 will make a good starting point for budget-conscious musicians. My own preference would be the PSR-E583 — I can’t live without an expression pedal!
