DAISY-CHAINING SPEAKERS
Since the speaker systems in this series are equipped with two input terminals that are internally connected in parallel, it is
possible “daisy-chain” speakers by connecting the output from the power amplifier to one phone jack, and a second speaker
system to the other.
All speaker models in this series have a nominal impedance of 8
Ω
. Since most power amplifiers are designed to provide stable
performance at a load impedance of 4 or 8
Ω
, Yamaha recommends that no more than two 8
Ω
speaker systems be daisy-chained
together. This will allow the amplifier to operate properly and avoid overheating.
CAUTION!
For the four models, S10e, S12e, S15e and S12Me, use the
TS-30, TS-40, TS-80, or TS-90 speaker stand by Ultimate
Support System, Inc. sold separately.
When using speaker stands, observe the following precau-
tions to prevent the speaker stands from falling over or the
speaker system being dropped.
• Use the speaker stands with their legs fully opened.
• Do not place more than one speaker on the same speaker
stand.
• Tighten fastening screws securely.
• Remove the speakers from the stands before moving the
stands or adjusting their height.
• Implement measures to prevent the speaker stands from
falling over.
• Use the stand at no higher than 150 cm for all speaker
models.
• The top tube of the TS-30 and TS-40 speaker stands has
a diameter of 1-1/2", but is tapered to 1-3/8" at the top to
fit in the mounting holes on the four models named. If
you should remove the top tube from a stand, be sure to
insert it with the narrow end up when reassembling.
