  • Page 5: Getting Connected

    Unlike most other audio and production gear, the way speakers are set up in a room has a dramatic effect on the final sound. This short tutorial provides a basic guide to help you maximize the performance of your Yamaha HS-series monitor speakers.
  • Page 6: Xlr-Type Connector

    Pin 2: Signal + or “Hot” If you’re connecting your HS speakers directly to a mixer such as one of the Yamaha MG-series mixers, they should usually be connected to the mixer’s “C-R” (Control Room) outputs so that you can control the monitor level without affecting the level of the signal sent to the mixer’s...
  • Page 7: Speaker Placement

In this type of setup you can take full advantage of the console’s advanced surround mixing and bass...
  • Page 11: Maintain A Consistent Monitoring Level

    Fine-tuning for Surround Set the HS50M or HS80M LEVEL control to about 12 o’clock to set the nominal input level to approximately +4dB. If you’re using the HS50M set the HS10W LEVEL control to about 10 o’clock, and if you’re using the HS80M set it to about 11 o’clock.
