Powered Studio Monitors

Welcome to the next generation of Yorkville Sound Powered Studio Monitors. Building upon our technical knowledge and experience

we have developed better sounding monitors which are easier to use in virtually any environment. The Yorkville Sound monitors are at

home in professional recording studios, home studios and living rooms. We’re confident that the YSM5, YSM6 or YSM8 will help you cut to the mix and create fantastic music!

The YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8 feature 1-inch black-silk diaphragm neodymium dome tweeters. These tweeters use specially designed waveguide bevelled edge housings. The waveguide bevelled edges perfectly couple the tweeter with the woofer, reducing sonic anomalies normally created by their proximity. The leading-edge fibre-composite cone woofers have also been designed to perform with sonic excellence, providing a wide dynamic range at all levels. Transparent bi-amplification is specifically optimised for each driver. This guarantees perfect performance and eliminates the phase irregularities between tweeter and woofer that are usually associated with passive crossover networks.

1. Mains Voltage Select Switch, Cord and Fuse Replacement

Before plugging the power cord in the back of the YSM5, YSM6 or YSM8 set the Voltage Switch to the required voltage, either 110-120 VAC (North America) or 220240 VAC (Europe and Australia).

Mains Voltage

Select Switch

110-120				220-240
VAC				VAC

Fuse

NOTE: If the fuse needs replacing, disconnect the power cord from the back of the unit; using a small flat head screw driver, pry out the plastic fuse holder located just beside the power receptacle. Refer to replacement values printed at the back of the unit, near the Serial Number.

If the unit does not power up, check...

i.Power cord is connected.

ii.Power source is turned on.

iii.Fuse is blown, if replaced and it still blows then there is permanent fault inside the unit and should be returned to a Yorkville dealer.

2. Input Jack	Combi INPUT
The inputs of all three monitors are balanced and can use a ¼-inch	1/4-inch/XLR
TRS phone jack or XLR connector. If you need to use an RCA cable
to connect, use a standard RCA > ¼-inch adapter such as the APEX
AA1/6. Similarly, If you wish to use an 1/8inch (3.5MM) cable you will
need the APEX AA49 adapter.
3. Input Sensitivity (YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8)
The Input Sensitivity control enables the YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8
monitors to be properly matched to various systems enabling the
best calibration between the devices.
		1 = Ground
The Input Sensitivity can be adjusted in two ways,	2 = (+) 0°
	3 = (-) 180°

i.as a Volume Control. Connect a line in from the line-level source into the YSM’s input located at the back of the unit,

proceed to rotate the Input Sensitivity control located at the rear of the monitor counter clockwise for minimum/off and full clockwise for maximum gain (sensitivity). Please note, always start with the volume control at minimum (off) and slowly bring up to desired level.

ii.If you are using a mixing console to feed the input of the YSM powered monitor, set the db gain control to the desired level and then proceed to the Input Sensitivity control on the YSM powered monitor and adjust to same db level as the mixer, this insures that the overall desired gain is not too much or too little.

4. HF Presets Control Settings (YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8)

The default setting for the HF (high frequency) is 0 which is a flat response in normal near field conditions. If the room is over dampened it might be desirable to increase the HF trim to +1, this will increase the High Frequency response, the opposite would hold for an under dampened room with a lot of reflections that can become quite challenging for the ears, try settings -1 and -2.
