YSM1i Contemporary Passive Studio Monitor
For more than a decade, the YSM has been a vital mixing tool for the serious studio engi-
neer. It’s widely accepted as one of the most transparent, wide response, small format studio
monitors available. So how do you make an accepted standard better? Not by changing the
sound, that’s for sure. How about a cosmetic update? The cloth grille has been done away
with. The MDF baffle is clad in a special vinyl coating highlighted by special compound radi-
us edges, a foam surround woofer and a bright new logo. Same great studio standard and a
great new look. The YSMi.
The YSMi is a compact, 2-way, near-field studio monitor. It’s designed to accurately
reproduce the signal from a recording and mixing chain without contributing sonic coloration.
The clarity and bass response is what you’d expect to hear from a much larger cabinet. It’s
suitable for home and project-studio recording as well as sound reinforcement applications. It
reproduces timbres with near pinpoint accuracy and produces pristine sound, which defines
the finest details and harmonics of the input signal.
The YSMi features a inch shielded soft-dome, ferrofluid-cooled tweeter and a 6 /2 inch
shielded foam-surround woofer. They are arranged in a symmetrical / vertical configuration
with the drivers mounted slightly forward to minimize reflections off the cabinet face. A precise-
ly tuned 2 inch cylindrical port directly below the woofer increases bass response and allows
cabinet size to be kept compact. The internal crossover network is a ‘tried and true’ design
consisting of a 2 dB/octave low-pass filter and a 6 dB/octave high-pass filter with a cross-
over point at 2.5 kHz. This proven design is functional, efficient and highly resistant to failure.
Speaker cables are secured with gold-plated binding posts that also accept banana plugs.
The rock-solid YSMi is constructed of 3/4 inch MDF and a 3/4 inch thick, vinyl clad, MDF
baffle. Ample internal dampening material ensures that their are no unwanted bass reso-
nances. The cabinet is finished in an attractive, charcoal gray vinyl that resists scuffs and
is easily cleaned. The YSMi exhibits impressive bass response and well articulated, bal-
anced mid-range and treble. This results in a sound that is tight, well controlled and without
overshoot or flabbiness. The stereo imaging is excellent, resolution is consistent in every
frequency range and the bass response is sweet. The monitors excel at placing incredibly
detailed, uniform sound across a relatively wide area allowing good variation in optimum
listening locations. Designed by Yorkville’s team of engineers using state-of-the-art computer
technology, the YSMi features the best price to performance value on the market.
