Welcome to the YST-M10 Powered Monitor Speakers
Thank you for purchasing Yamaha’s YST-M10 Powered Monitor Speakers.
YST-M10 powered monitor speakers use Yamaha’s Active Servo technology to provide high-quality amplification
and output from a compact cabinet. Both cabinets feature a 8 cm (3.5 inch) drive unit and bass port. The right-channel
monitor speaker contains a stereo 10 watt per channel amplifier, with volume and presence controls. A single cable
connects the left-channel monitor speaker.
YST-M10 powered monitor speakers are ideal for use with computer multimedia applications, personal stereo
equipment, keyboard monitoring, and any other application that requires compact, portable high-quality monitoring.
Thanks to the magnetic shielding around each drive unit, they can be sited close to computer monitors and other
magnetically sensitive equipment.
Input connection is via a 3.5 mm stereo jack, and with the supplied 6.25 mm phone jack adaptor and phono/RCA
adaptor, almost any audio source can be connected with ease.
To get the best performance from your YST-M10 monitor speakers, please read this Owner’s Manual carefully.
Then, store it in a safe place for future reference.
Active Servo Technology
Active Servo Technology is a system, pioneered by Yamaha, that allows small and medium size speaker cabinets
to produce the type of bass performance usually only associated with large cabinets.
A precision port in the cabinet provides an outlet for bass frequencies. However, to overcome the natural air resistance
inside the cabinet, which tends to reduce the volume level from a port, a negative-impedance amplifier is used. This
provides a solid bass end and wide frequency response, while keeping distortion at a minimum.
YST-M10 Operating Precautions
Please read the following operating precautions before operating your YST-M10s:
•
Use the power supply adaptor designed specifically for the YST-M10 only. Yamaha cannot be held responsible
for damage caused by using other power supply adaptors.
•
When disconnecting the power supply adaptor from an AC receptacle, hold and pull the plug, not the power cord.
•
If the YST-M10s are not going to be used for a while, disconnect the power supply adaptor from the AC receptacle.
•
Always disconnect the power supply adaptor from the AC receptacle before making any connections.
•
YST-M10s do not contain any user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to your Yamaha dealer.
•
Do not expose the YST-M10s to temperature extremes or direct sunlight.
•
Do not expose the YST-M10s to excessive dust, humidity, or vibration.
•
Site the YST-M10s on a level, stable surface.
•
Do not drop the YST-M10s, apply excessive force to their controls, or put heavy items on top of them.
•
If the YST-M10s should require cleaning, use a soft cloth. If necessary, a damp cloth.
•
To protect the YST-M10 speakers, avoid microphone feedback, continuous and excessive output from electronic
musical instruments, excessive signal distortion,
•
If the YST-M10s are sited close to fluorescent or neon type lights, a slight hum may be heard. In this case,
relocate the YST-M10s away from the light.
•
Although the YST-M10 speakers are magnetically shielded, keep floppy disks and tapes away from them.
•
The YST-M10s may cause picture distortion when sited close to a television or computer monitor. In this case,
move them away a little.
