CONNECTING TO YOUR AMPLIFIER

Karaoke Speaker System

English

Never put a hand or a foreign object into the port located on the rear of the speaker as this

• might cause personal injury and/or damage to the speaker. When moving the speaker, do not hold the port as it might cause personal injury and/or

• damage to the speaker. Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your ampliﬁer to a lower setting.

• Never allow your ampliﬁer to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise the speaker may be damaged. When using an ampliﬁer with a rated output power higher than the nominal input power of

• the speaker, care should be taken never to exceed the speaker’s maximum input. Do not attempt to clean the speaker with chemical solvents as this might damage the ﬁnish.

• Use a clean, dry cloth. Do not attempt to modify or ﬁx the speaker. Contact qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel

• when any service is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any reasons. As this unit is heavy, whenever it is moved, two people are required to transport it safely.

•

Secure placement or installation is the owner’s responsibility. Yamaha shall not be liable for any accident caused by improper placement or installation of the speaker.

MOUNTING THIS SPEAKER SYSTEM TO A CEILING

You can also use the screw holes on the top of the speaker for installing the speaker on the ceiling by using commercially available mounting brackets. To ﬁx the speaker to a mounting bracket, use the screws inserted to the screw holes of the speaker as the factory default status. If you use the commercially available screws, use the screws that matches to the following speciﬁcations:

Screw type ...........................................................M8

Screw length

<KMS-900/KSX-25> .........

<KMS-700/KSX-20> .........

REMOVING THE FRONT COVER

The front cover is fastened to the enclosure at four points, and can be removed if desired. To remove the cover, hold on to both sides and slowly pull straight away from the speaker. To reattach, line up the four pegs on the inside surface of the cover with the four corresponding holes on the speaker and push gently.

Notes

•

When the cover is removed, take care not to touch the speaker units with your hands or to exert excessive force with tools.

•

This bass-reﬂex type speaker has an opening on the front side. Be careful not to obstruct the opening or put some objects into it. If doing so, the sound will be unnatural or it may cause damage to the speaker and/or ampliﬁer.

Caution

•

The required length of a screw differs depending on the mounting bracket to be used. Select a screw which is suitable for use with the mounting bracket and can be fully inserted into the hole on the speaker.

•

As this product is heavy, do not attach them to thin plywoods or soft wall surface materials, as the screws may tear free from ﬂimsy surfaces, causing the speakers to fall and be damaged, or result in personal injury.

•

Do not fasten the speakers to the ceiling with nails, adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to pull free.

•

To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, ﬁx these to the wall along with the speakers.

Caution

BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE THAT THE AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF.

Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of your ampliﬁer with supplied speaker cables. Connect the left speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your ampliﬁer, and the right speaker to the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –).
