Warning: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Attention: Lors de l’utilisation de produits électrique, assurez-vous d’adhérer à des précautions de bases incluant celle qui suivent:

Your unit should be connected to a power source only of the voltage specified in the owners manual or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized plug. Do not use with an extension cord or receptacle unless the plug can be fully inserted. Precautions should be taken so that the grounding scheme on the unit is not defeated. An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a Mains socket outlet with a protective earthing ground. Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the product and use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer Note: Prolonged use of headphones at a high volume may cause health damage on your ears. The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water; no objects filled with liquids should be placed on the apparatus. Terminals marked with the “lightning bolt” are hazardous live; the external wiring connected to these terminals require installation by an instructed person or the use of ready made leads or cords. Ensure that proper ventilation is provided around the appliance. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. The AC supply cord should be routed so that it is unlikely that it will be damaged. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs. If the AC supply cord is damaged DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

The unit should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

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).

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.

YSM 2. Input Jack 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 0 -2

4. HF Presets Control Settings (YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8) 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

YSM 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

6. Bi-Amplification 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.

6. Bi-Amplification Le terme commun est la bi-amplification, un processus qui utilise deux amplificateurs de puissance et un réseau électronique actif précis pour le filtre de coupure . Ce type de réseau de filtre de coupure divise le signal beaucoup plus précisément que les réseaux traditionnels de filtre passif. Les trois modèles de moniteurs, le YSM5, YSM6 et YSM8 utilisent la bi-amplification. Un amplificateur dédié pour le tweeter et un autre pour le woofer.
