2 – Congratulations

Congratulations

Your new YDP2006 Digital Parametric Equalizer uses the most advanced Yamaha digital signal processing to provide extremely precise, stable equalization.

As well as a stereo 6 band parametric equalizer, the YDP2006 Digital Parametric Equalizer has a high and low pass ﬁlter, and 4 notch ﬁlters which can be used to selectively “knock out” speciﬁc frequencies. When running in mono mode, the YDP2006 provides not 6, but 12 bands, and 8 notch ﬁlters. Furthermore, the unit can operate at either 6 or 12dB cut/boost.

If you are used to using conventional analog parametric equalizers with knobs you will ﬁnd the YDP2006 very easy to use. Selecting “knobs” and “turning” them are simple operations performed with rotary encoders on the front panel. With a multi-function LCD screen, you can see at a glance exactly which “knob”, or notch ﬁlter you are moving. Or if you prefer, you can change to a purely numeric display for the parametric filter and notch ﬁlter parameters.

One of the biggest advantages of Yamaha digital equalizers (apart from their stunning 20 bit sound) is the ability to store the equalizer settings you create for instant recall. The YDP2006 has the ability to store 40 different settings in this way, avoiding the need to completely reconﬁgure the knobs every time the unit has to be used for a different purpose, or in another environment.

In order to satisfy the most demanding needs of music professionals, the YDP2006 is able to be controlled not only by MIDI, but also by the new standard Y-485 interface. This allows for the fastest possible system conﬁguration, without having to use up an extra MIDI channel to send program changes.

We urge you to read this manual carefully before using this unit, in order to fully appreciate, and be able to take advantage of, the many advanced features it offers.

YDP2006

Precautions

Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration

Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity - such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dirt accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.

Avoid physical shocks

Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause damage. Handle it with care.

Do not open the unit, or attempt repairs or modiﬁcations yourself

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all maintenance to qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel. Opening the unit and/or tampering with the internal circuitry will void the warranty.

Make sure power is off before making or removing connections

Always turn the power OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. This is important to prevent damage to the unit itself as well as other connected equipment.

3 – Precautions

Handle cables carefully

Always plug and unplug cables - including the AC cord - by gripping the connector, not the cord.

Clean with a soft dry cloth

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.

Always use the correct power source

Make sure that the power source voltage speciﬁed on the rear panel matches your local AC mains supply:

U.S. & Canadian Model: 120V AC, 60Hz General Model: 230V AC, 50Hz UK and Australian Model: 240V AC, 50Hz

Backup battery

The unit contains a long-life lithium battery which maintains the contents of the buffer and user memory locations even when the unit is off. With normal use, the battery should last approximately 5 years. If the battery voltage falls below a certain level, a “***WARNING*** LOW BATTERY” message will appear on the screen when the power is turned on. If this occurs, have the battery replaced by at a qualiﬁed Yamaha service center. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself!

From left to right, the controls on the front panel are:

INPUT LEVEL – two concentric rotary controls (inner control is left channel) to adjust the

level of the signal fed into the YDP2006.

Level meters – L and R – These meters come after the A-D convertors in the signal chain.

A “CLIP” indication therefore indicates digital distortion, and the input levels should be adjusted so that the “CLIP” indicators never light.

Memory – this 2-digit LED indicator shows the current memory area.

Screen – this 56 x 128 pixel display gives a graphic representation of the current equal-

ization settings. It is also used to display other settings which you can edit using the front panel controls.

Rotary encoders – the F , G and Q controls are used primarily for setting the Frequency,

Gain and Q of equalization bands. When editing utility settings, they may also be used for editing data.

POWER

OFF

PEQ/NOTCH selectors and indicators – When the PEQ key

is lit, the selectors are used to select a band from PEQ 1–6 (or either MONO.L 1–6, or MONO.R 1-6 when in mono mode).

When the NOTCH key

is lit, they are used to select a band among notches 1–4, and the HPF and LPF ﬁlters or, when in mono mode, MONO.L (1–4 and HPF and LPF) or MONO.R (1-4). The indicators show the status of the various bands/ﬁlters, and light when the corresponding band/ﬁlter is on.

MEMORY keys – the [STORE] , [RECALL] , [^] and [%] keys are used to read and write settings

stored in the 40 memory areas.

PEQ key – pressing this key will show the parameters for the parametric equalizer (in either graphic or numerical form), and enable the PEQ selectors. The indicators will show the on/off status of the parametric bands.

9 NOTCH key – pressing this key will show the parameters for the notch ﬁlters (in either

graphic or numerical form), and enable the NOTCH selectors and indicators.

0 UTILITY key – pressing this key will cycle through a range of screens, allowing you to set

up various system parameters for the unit.

A [L/<] and [R/>] keys – you can make equalization settings for the left and right channels

independently. These keys allow you to select which channel you are editing. By pressing one of these keys, holding it down, and then pressing the other, you can edit the parameters of both channels simultaneously.

INPUT

1 Y-485 – these bi-directional connectors are used to connect the unit on a network “chain”

using the Y-485 control protocol. They do not carry audio signals. When making a Y-485 connection, either terminal may be used for IN or OUT. Please use digital audio cable (impedance 90~120 Ω shield type equilibrium transmis- sion cable) for connection with periphery equipment. Using general analog audio cable (impedance 40~50 Ω shield type equilibrium transmission cable) could cause trouble such as signal reﬂection due to mismatching impedance and transmission waveform turbulence. Waveform turbulence is especially noticeable with long cables, and with multi cable longer than 10 meters. If the length of the cable is longer than 100 meters, it is recommended that it should be terminated with a resistor matching the impedance of the cable (connect a resistor of approx. 100 Ω between Pin 2 and Pin 3).

2 MIDI IN, OUT and THRU – These terminals are used for MIDI control of the unit. IN is

used to receive MIDI data, THRU passes along information received at the IN terminal, and OUT transmits data originated by the unit.

3 OUTPUT (L, R) – these balanced XLR-type connectors output the signal from the unit. 4 INPUT (L, R) – these balanced XLR-type connectors are used to input signals to the unit. 5 Level switches – both the input and output connectors may be set to nominal levels of

+4dB or -20dB. When connecting other equipment, refer to the speciﬁcations of the other units to match the signal levels correctly.

YDP2006

6 – Memory areas

Memory areas

How the memories are arranged in the YDP2006

The unit contains 40 memory areas which contain equalization settings, all of which are user-programmable. This allows you to set up and store frequently-used equalization settings which you can recall at any time. These settings can be stored to a mass-storage device (MIDI data ﬁle system or personal computer system) either through the MIDI interface, or the Y-485 connectors (see the section on “Utilities” for full details of this).

Recalling an equalization setting

Use the MEMORY [^] and [%] keys to display the name of the setting you want to recall. The name (set in UTILITY mode) is shown in the middle of the display, and the memory number ﬂashes on the LED display.

Press the [RECALL] key. If you had not made any changes to the previous setting, the new setting will be displayed

immediately. If you had made changes to the previous setting without storing them, the unit will ﬂash

“RECALL OK?” in the center of the screen. If you really want to recall this setting, press the [RECALL] key again (while this message is flashing, you can use the MEMORY [^] and [%] keys to select another setting to be recalled). If you press the [RECALL] key, the number in the LED will stop ﬂashing, and the screen will show the equalization curve for this setting. If you have made a mistake in selecting the setting or pressing the [RECALL] key in the ﬁrst place, and do not want to recall the setting, press any key except the [RECALL] key.

Remember that the equalization curve shown will be for either the left or the right channel, depending on whether the [L/<] or [R/>] key is lit.

Storing an equalization setting

When you have edited a setting, you use the MEMORY [^] and [%] keys to select a memory area where you want to store the setting (if the memory area you are editing is the area where you want to store the setting, you do not need to press the [^] and [%] keys). As you step through the memory areas, the name of each one will be displayed in the center of the screen.

When you have selected the area, press the [STORE] key to write these settings into memory. The unit will ﬂash “STORE OK?” in the center of the screen. Press the [STORE] key again to conﬁrm the store, or any other key to cancel the store.

A note on software protection

You can protect the settings against accidental key-presses, etc., by using the UTILITY software protection (see “SOFTWARE PROTECT” on page 3). If protection is set to ON, then any attempt to store or recall settings using the methods described above will result in the message “ERR ** NOW PROTECT” being shown on the screen. The 2-digit LED will start to ﬂash if you attempt to recall, store or modify a setting with protection on, as an additional warning. If you get the “ERR ** NOW PROTECT” message when trying to perform any operations with protection on, press any key to stop the LED flashing. “ERR ** NOW PROTECT” will disappear from the screen.
