Precautions

AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST AND VI­BRATION

When choosing a location for your speakers, avoid the fol­lowing:

• Direct sunlight, high temperatures (such as near heat­ers), or excessively low temperatures.

• High humidity.

• Areas subject to excessive dust accumulation and vibra-

tion.

• Non-level or unstable surfaces.

HOW TO POWER UP YOUR SOUND SYSTEM

To avoid damage to your speakers and other parts of your
system, when you turn on your system, ALWAYS turn the
power amp on last! This will avoid loud, damaging pops
that will annoy your audience, and blow your speakers.
When you power down, the amplifier should ALWAYS be
turned off first to avoid the same problems.

MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE MAKING
OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS

Always turn the power switches of system components
OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. Failure to
do so may result in damage to speakers as well as to con­nected equipment.

DISCONNECT CABLES BEFORE MOVING THE SYS­TEM

To prevent short circuits or breakage of cables, always dis­connect cables prior to moving system equipment.

MATCH CONNECTOR POLARITY

When using two or more speaker systems, be sure match
the polarity (+/–) of the speaker system connectors to those
at the amplifier. If the polarities do not match, the sounds
produced by the speakers will interfere with each other,
making it impossible to achieve a well-balanced sound
field.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

To protect your speakers

When choosing a power amplifier to use with your speakers, make sure that its power output matches the speakers’ power
capacity (refer to the Specifications on page 5). Even if the amplifier’s power output is lower than the speakers’ PGM
(program) power capacity, the speakers may be damaged when clipping of a high input signal occurs.

The following may cause damage to speakers:

• Feedback caused when using a microphone.

• Continuous high sound pressure level produced by electronic instruments.

• Continuous high-power output distorted signals.

• Popping noises caused by turning on equipment, or by connecting or disconnecting system components while the amplifier

is turned on.

This product, when used in combination
with amplification and/or additional
loudspeakers, may be capable of produc­ing sound levels that could cause perma­nent hearing loss.

DO NOT operate at high volume levels
or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you
experience any discomfort or ringing in
the ears, or suspect an hearing loss, you
should consult an audiologist.

CAUTION!

Recommended for use with Ultimate Support Systems,
Inc. Model TS-30 or TS-33 speaker stands only.

• Use only ONE speaker per stand.

• The loudspeakers and stands must always rest upon a

solid, level surface.

• Improper installation or usage could result in the loud­speaker falling and causing injury.

• The top tube of the TS-30 and TS-33 speaker stands has
a diameter of 1-1/2", but is tapered to 1-3/8" at the top to
fit in the mounting holes on these models. If you should
remove the top tube from a stand, be sure to insert it with
the narrow end up when reassembling.

DAISY-CHAINING SPEAKERS

Since the speaker systems in this series are equipped with two input terminals that are internally connected in parallel, it is
possible “daisy-chain” speakers by connecting the output from the power amplifier to one phone jack, and a second speaker
system to the other.

All speaker models in this series have a nominal impedance of 8Ω. Since most power amplifiers are designed to provide stable
performance at a load impedance of 4 or 8Ω, Yamaha recommends that no more than two 8Ω speaker systems be daisy-chained
together. This will allow the amplifier to operate properly and avoid overheating.
