PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Do not open Water warning

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Location Connections

• If you use a stand, check the stand’s speciﬁcations and make sure that it is sturdy enough to support the weight of the speaker. You may need to limit the number of people around the placed stand, in order to avoid toppling the device or causing damage to the internal components.

• If you use the TS-80 and TS-90 speaker stands manufactured by Ultimate Systems (sold separately) to support the S112V/S115V/SM10V/SM12V/SM15V speaker models, be sure to keep the following cautions. – Use the speaker stands with their legs fully opened. – Place only one speaker on each speaker stand. – Tighten fastening screws securely. – Remove the speakers from the stands before moving

the stands or adjusting their height.

– Add weight such as sand bags around the stand legs to

prevent them from falling over.

– Use the stand at a maximum height of 140 cm.

• If you use a metal socket of the SW115V/SW118V subwoofer to allow mounting of a satellite speaker, use a pole shorter than 90cm with an outer diameter of 35mm.

• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or more people.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

• Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker jacks. Use of other types of cables may result in ﬁre.

• Be sure to observe the ampliﬁer’s rated load impedance (see page 4), particularly when connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an impedance load outside the ampliﬁer’s rated range can damage the ampliﬁer.

Handling caution

• Do not use the device for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting. Prolonged use in this condition could cause overheating and result in ﬁre.

• Always turn AC power to the power ampliﬁer on last in any audio system to avoid speaker damage. When turning power off, the power ampliﬁer should be turned off ﬁrst for the same reason.

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.

Poly Switch

All full-range loudspeakers are ﬁtted with a self-resetting poly switch that protects the high-frequency driver from damage caused by excessive power.

If a loudspeaker cabinet loses high-frequency output, immediately remove power from the unit and wait for two to three minutes. They should allow the poly switch to reset. Reapply power and check the performance of the high-frequency driver before continuing with the power reduced to a level that does not cause the poly switch to interrupt the signal.

ENGLISH

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 6). 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.

On the SW115V/SW118V/SW218V sub woofer, the Poly Switch protects the woofer and a similar routine should be followed if its output is lost.

• In any system using two or more speakers, be sure to match the connection polarities of all speakers to the ampliﬁer(s) – e.g. always connect “+” to “+” and “-” to “-”. If the polarities are not properly matched the speakers will be driven out of phase and the sound will suffer.

• Use only Neutrik NL4FC plugs for connecting Speakon connectors.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the device.

Connecting the Speakers

■ Phone Plug Wiring

Phone plugs for connection to the phone jack inputs should be wired as shown to the right. Be sure to use proper speaker cable — NOT shielded instrument or line cable — for all speaker connections.

■ Neutrik NL4FC Plug Wiring

If you will be using the Neutrik connectors for speaker input, wire the plugs as shown to the right. Be sure to use proper speaker cable — NOT shielded instrument or line cable — for all speaker connections.

■ Full-range Connection

Each speaker features four input/parallel connectors—two 1/4” phone jacks and two Neutrik NL4MP connectors. Use either a phone jack or a Neutrik connector to receive input from your sound system/power ampliﬁer. One of the spare connectors can be used to parallel-connect an additional speaker (keeping in mind the impedance considerations mentioned below).

Impedance Considerations

When connecting speakers in parallel be sure to check the rated load impedance of the power ampliﬁer. Most power ampliﬁers are capable of safely driving speakers with minimum impedance of 8 ohms or 4 ohms. A pair of parallel-connected 8-ohm speakers have a total impedance of 4 ohms. The S112V/S115V/SM10V/SM12V/ SM15V/SW115V/SW118V are 8-ohm speakers, and two of these can safely be paralleled on one output. The S215V/SW218V, however, has an impedance of 4 ohms and should not be parallel-connected with another S215V/SW218V or any other model. These models can be connected in parallel, however, if you are using a power ampliﬁer that can safely drive load impedances of 2 ohms or lower.
