2. Input Jack
The inputs of all three monitors are balanced and can use a ¼-inch
TRS phone jack or XLR connector. If you need to use an RCA cable
to connect, use a standard RCA > ¼-inch adapter such as the APEX
AA1/6. Similarly, If you wish to use an 1/8inch (3.5MM) cable you will
need the APEX AA49 adapter.
3. Input Sensitivity (YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8)
The Input Sensitivity control enables the YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8
monitors to be properly matched to various systems enabling the
best calibration between the devices.
The Input Sensitivity can be adjusted in two ways,
i. as a Volume Control. Connect a line in from the line-level
source into the YSM’s input located at the back of the unit,
proceed to rotate the Input Sensitivity control located at the rear of the monitor
counter clockwise for minimum/off and full clockwise for maximum gain (sensi-
tivity). Please note, always start with the volume control at minimum (off) and
slowly bring up to desired level.
ii. If you are using a mixing console to feed the input of the YSM powered moni-
tor, set the db gain control to the desired level and then proceed to the Input
Sensitivity control on the YSM powered monitor and adjust to same db level as
the mixer, this insures that the overall desired gain is not too much or too little.
4. HF Presets Control Settings (YSM5, YSM6 and YSM8)
The default setting for the HF (high frequency) is 0 which is a flat response in normal
near field conditions. If the room is over dampened it might be desirable to increase the
HF trim to +1, this will increase the High Frequency response, the opposite would hold
for an under dampened room with a lot of reflections that can become quite challeng-
ing for the ears, try settings -1 and -2.
