Assurez que lappareil est fourni de la propre ventilation. Ne procédez pas à l’installation près de source de chaleur tels que radiateurs, registre de chaleur, fours ou autres appareils (incluant les amplificateurs) qui produisent de la chaleur. Les dispositifs marqués d’une symbole “d’éclair” sont des parties dangereuses au toucher et que les câblages extérieurs connectés à ces dispositifs de connection extérieure doivent être effectivés par un opérateur formé ou en utilisant des cordons déjà préparés. Cordon d’Alimentation Ne pas enlever le dispositif de sécurité sur la prise polarisée ou la prise avec tige de mise à la masse du cordon d’alimentation. Une prise polarisée dispose de deux lames dont une plus large que l’autre. Une prise avec tige de mise à la masse dispose de deux lames en plus d’une troisième tige qui connecte à la masse. La lame plus large ou la tige de mise à la masse est prévu pour votre sécurité. La prise murale est désuète si elle n’est pas conçue pour accepter ce type de prise avec dispositif de sécurité. Dans ce cas, contactez un électricien pour faire remplacer la prise murale. Évitez d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation. Protégez le cordon d’alimentation. Assurezvous qu’on ne marche pas dessus et qu’on ne le pince pas en particulier aux prises. N’UTILISEZ PAS L’APPAREIL si le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé. Pour débrancher complètement cet appareil de l’alimentation CA principale, déconnectez le cordon d’alimentation de la prise d’alimentation murale. Le cordon d’alimentation du bloc d’alimentation de l’appareil doit demeurer pleinement fonctionnel. Débranchez cet appareil durant les orages ou si inutilisé pendant de longues périodes. Service Consultez un technicien qualifié pour l’entretien de votre appareil. L'entretien est nécessaire quand l'appareil a été endommagé de quelque façon que se soit. Par exemple si le cordon d’alimentation ou la prise du cordon sont endommagés, si il y a eu du liquide qui a été renversé à l’intérieur ou des objets sont tombés dans l'appareil, si l'appareil a été exposé à la pluie ou à l'humidité, si il ne fonctionne pas normalement, ou a été échappé. safety-4v7 • May 7/2008 YSM YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8 Powered Studio Monitors Welcome to the next generation of Yorkville Sound Powered Studio Monitors. Building upon our technical knowledge and experience we have developed better sounding monitors which are easier to use in virtually any environment. The Yorkville Sound monitors are at home in professional recording studios, home studios and living rooms. We’re confident that the YSM5, YSM6 or YSM8 will help you cut to the mix and create fantastic music! The YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8 feature 1-inch black-silk diaphragm neodymium dome tweeters. These tweeters use specially designed waveguide bevelled edge housings. The waveguide bevelled edges perfectly couple the tweeter with the woofer, reducing sonic anomalies normally created by their proximity. The leading-edge fibre-composite cone woofers have also been designed to perform with sonic excellence, providing a wide dynamic range at all levels. Transparent bi-amplification is specifically optimised for each driver. This guarantees perfect performance and eliminates the phase irregularities between tweeter and woofer that are usually associated with passive crossover networks.

1. Mains Voltage Select Switch, Cord and Fuse Replacement

Before plugging the power cord in the back of the YSM5, YSM6 or YSM8 set the Voltage Switch to the required voltage, either 110-120 VAC (North America) or 220240 VAC (Europe and Australia). Fuse Mains Voltage Select Switch 110-120 VAC 220-240 VAC NOTE: If the fuse needs replacing, disconnect the power cord from the back of the unit; using a small flat head screw driver, pry out the plastic fuse holder located just beside the power receptacle. Refer to replacement values printed at the back of the unit, near the Serial Number. If the unit does not power up, check...

i. Power cord is connected.

ii. Power source is turned on.

iii. Fuse is blown, if replaced and it still blows then there is permanent fault inside

the unit and should be returned to a Yorkville dealer.

The inputs of all three monitors are balanced and can use a ¼-inch TRS phone jack or XLR connector. If you need to use an RCA cable to connect, use a standard RCA > ¼-inch adapter such as the APEX AA1/6. Similarly, If you wish to use an 1/8inch (3.5MM) cable you will need the APEX AA49 adapter. Combi INPUT 1/4-inch/XLR

3. Input Sensitivity (YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8)

The Input Sensitivity control enables the YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8 monitors to be properly matched to various systems enabling the best calibration between the devices. 1 = Ground 2 = (+) 0° The Input Sensitivity can be adjusted in two ways, 3 = (-) 180°

i. as a Volume Control. Connect a line in from the line-level

source into the YSM’s input located at the back of the unit, proceed to rotate the Input Sensitivity control located at the rear of the monitor counter clockwise for minimum/off and full clockwise for maximum gain (sensitivity). Please note, always start with the volume control at minimum (off) and slowly bring up to desired level. ii. If you are using a mixing console to feed the input of the YSM powered monitor, set the db gain control to the desired level and then proceed to the Input Sensitivity control on the YSM powered monitor and adjust to same db level as the mixer, this insures that the overall desired gain is not too much or too little. Hi Presets -1

The default setting for the HF (high frequency) is 0 which is a flat response in normal near field conditions. If the room is over dampened it might be desirable to increase the HF trim to +1, this will increase the High Frequency response, the opposite would hold for an under dampened room with a lot of reflections that can become quite challenging for the ears, try settings -1 and -2. HF Presets

5. Low Frequency Control Settings (YSM6 and YSM8)

The default setting for the LF (low frequency) is 0. As an example, if the monitors are placed in the middle of a room and more low end response is needed, set the select switch to +1.5 A. As another example, if your monitors are placed against the back wall as shown in the diagram below, it is recommended that you set the LF setting to -1. Accordingly, if the monitors are placed in the corner of the room, set to -2. LF Presets +1.5

1/2 Space Placement (against the wall) 1/4 Space Placement (in corner)

The common term is bi-amplification, a process which uses two power amplifiers and an electronically accurate ‘active’ crossover network. This type of crossover network divides the signal much more precisely than traditional passive crossover networks. All three monitors, the YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8 use bi-amplification, an amplifier dedicated for the tweeter and another for the woofer.
