NS-E80
Natural Sound Bass-Reflex
Type Effect Speaker System
Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NS-E80 speaker
system.
This model is designed mainly to be used as an effect
speaker system.
PRECAUTIONS
Read these precautions carefully before operating
your speakers.
• When using an amplifier with a rated output power
higher than the music input of the speakers, care
should be taken never to exceed the speakers’
music input.
• Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. To clean,
wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
• To prevent the enclosure from warping or
discoloring, do not place the speakers where they
will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive
humidity.
• Do not place the speakers where they are liable to
be knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound
performance.
• Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as
the turntable can result in feedback.
• As these speakers contain strong magnets, avoid
placing watches, magnetic tapes, etc. near them.
Also, placing the speakers near a TV set may
impair picture color. If this happens, move the TV
set away from the speakers.
• Secure installing is the owner’s responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable to any accident caused
by a failure in installing at a proper position and by
proper installation procedure.
CONNECTION TO
YOUR AMPLIFIER
BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE
THAT THE AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF.
m
CONNECTIONS
• Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of
the speakers to the speaker output terminals of your
amplifier with the supplied speaker cables.
• One side of the speaker cable is marked by a white
line. Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier
and the speakers using this white-marked side.
Connect the (–) terminals on both components
using the unmarked side of the cable.
• Connect the left speaker to the left (marked L)
terminals of your amplifier, and the right speaker to
the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not to
reverse the polarity (+, –). If one speaker is
connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.
Procedures:
1
Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in
the figure.
2
Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal.
3
Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock
snugly on the cable’s wire end.
4
Test the security of the connection by tugging
lightly on the cable at the terminal.
