YSM2p Active Studio Monitor
Introduction
The YSM2P powered speaker enclosure system
is an advanced studio monitor. It is equally at
home in a professional recording studio, project
studio, or even a living room. Development of
the renowned YSM1P has helped us provide the
YSM2P with functionality and user-friendliness at
a truly reasonable cost. Components include a 1-
inch domed tweeter and a 5 ¼-inch woofer. The
woofer is a low-resonance 4-ohm driver fabri-
cated with a woven laminate cone (which helps promote use of the full 32 watts of power
from the YSM2P’s internal LF amplifier). The HF side of amplifier is capable of deliver-
ing up to 14 watts to the 1-inch, high-performance tweeter. Optimal performance is also
achieved by use of an active crossover specifically developed for the YSM2P. The YSM2P
also features an input trim control for precision tweaking according to room acoustics.
The Basics
• A smooth frequency response gives the YSM2P ample source representation
without equalization.
• A precisely tuned active crossover enables each driver to take advantage of
the bi-amplification.
• ¼-inch or XLR input jacks allow for maximum versatility.
Input Connections
The input, located at the rear of the enclosure, accepts line-level signal only (not speaker
level). It is ideal to use balanced, shielded cables with a ¼-inch (TRS) or XLR connector
however unbalanced ¼ inch jacks can also be used. Each YSM2P should be connected
to a single line-level source (e.g., the Right or Left line output from a mixer or preamp). If
you want to use multiple YSM2Ps, they can be interconnected using “Y” adaptors.
Input Trim Control
The Input Trim control allows you to adjust the volume of each monitor until the desired
sound level and Left/Right (or Front/Rear) balance is achieved. If clipping distortion
becomes audible, reduce the Input Trim level. If more signal reduction is needed, lower
your line level from the source with the mixer’s master level controls.
Power Switch
The power switch is located at the rear of the enclosure near the AC cord receptacle.
Bi-Amplification
The YSM2P uses a bi-amplification system with separate power amps for the tweeter and
the woofer The YSM2P utilizes an electronically active crossover network tuned specifi-
cally for each driver. This type of crossover network divides the signal much more pre-
cisely than traditional passive crossover networks.
