Yamaha Audio NS-E120 User Manual

Natural Sound Bass-Reflex
Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NS-E120 speaker system. This model is designed mainly to be used as an effect speaker system.

PRECAUTIONS

Read these precautions carefully before operating your speakers.
• When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than the music input of the speakers, care should be taken never to exceed the speakers’ music input.
• Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. To clean, wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
• To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not place the speakers where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
• Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also ensure better sound performance.
• Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the turntable can result in feedback.
• As these speakers contain strong magnets, avoid placing watches, magnetic tapes, etc. near them. Also, placing the speakers near a TV set may impair picture color. If this happens, move the TV set away from the speakers.
• Secure installing is the owner’s responsibility. YAMAHA shall not be liable to any accident caused by a failure in installing at a proper position and by proper installation procedure.

CONNECTION TO
YOUR AMPLIFIER
BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE THAT THE AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF.
m CONNECTIONS
• Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier with the supplied speaker cables.
• One side of the speaker cable is marked by a white line. Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier and the speakers using this white-marked side. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the unmarked side of the cable.
• 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 (+, –). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Procedures: 1 Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in
the figure.
2 Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal.
Type Effect Speaker System
3 Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock
snugly on the cable’s wire end.
4 Test the security of the connection by tugging
lightly on the cable at the terminal.
