(5)-4  English Setting Up for Superior Monitor Sound Unlike most other audio and production gear, the way speakers are set up in a room has a dramatic effect on the final sound. This short tutorial provides a basic guide to help you maximize the performance of your Yamaha HS-series monitor speakers. Listening vs. Monitoring You’d think that the requirements for “listening” and Getting Connected Powered monitors offer many sonic and practical “monitoring” would be the same, but that is not always advantages over passive types, but since they’re driven by the case. A great listening system can be a great line-level signals you need to exercise the same care in monitoring system, and vice-versa, but in most cases you’ll choosing cables and connectors as for the other line-level miss details that are essential to producing the best connections in your studio. Always use high quality cables possible mix on a system that’s set up purely for musical and connectors, and keep cable runs as short as possible. enjoyment. The difference is somewhat similar to the Unbalanced lines are fine for relatively short cables runs difference between a retouched glamour portrait and the unless you happen to be in a location that is plagued by original in which every blemish is clearly visible. The model high levels of electrical and radio-frequency noise. Of looks a lot better in the retouched photo, but the reality is course if you’re using equipment that only has unbalanced in the original un-enhanced version. As mixing engineer, outputs you have no choice, and will need to set up your or producer, or sonic artist, you’ll want to hear the details system so that everything can be connected with the so that you can create a perfectly balanced mix that will shortest possible unbalanced cables. If your mixer and sound good on the widest possible range of audio systems monitors are located on the same desktop or tabletop, for — and that can mean anything from high-ticket boutique example, there should be no problem. But if you need to audio components in a properly-designed listening room run line-level cables longer than about three meters right down to the boom box on top of the fridge in the (longer than about 10 feet), you might be better off using kitchen. You don’t want problems hidden by poor monitor balanced connections for maximum noise resistance. performance to sabotage your sound on other systems. The legendary Yamaha NS10M became a standard monitor in the music and sound industry (and is still in use The HS-series studio monitors provide two types of connectors for input, so you can choose the type that best matches your system requirements. in many studios throughout the world) for precisely that reason: it offered flat response and excellent resolution that allowed engineers and producers to hear subtle details that make the difference between good and great sound. The HS-series monitors carry on the tradition with accuracy and detail that can help you make great mixes, while letting you monitor for long stretches with minimum fatigue. HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner’s Manual 5  XLR-type Connector (Balanced) English This is the type of connector most commonly used in professional equipment and installations. 3-pin XLR-type connectors like the ones provided on the HS-series Pin 2: Signal + or “Hot” Pin 3: Signal - or “Cold” Pin 1: Ground monitors are primarily intended for use with balanced signals, and their solid design and construction ensures Pin 1: Ground Pin 3: Signal - or “Cold” Pin 2: Signal + or “Hot” maximum electrical and mechanical reliability. Phone Jack (TRS, Balanced or Unbalanced) The HS-series studio monitors also feature 1/4-inch phone jack connectors that can be used for either balanced Ring: Signal - or “Cold” Tip: Signal + or “Hot” Sleeve: Ground or unbalanced connections. For balanced connection via these jacks you’ll need to use balanced cables fitted with TRS phone plugs — three- Tip: Signal + or “Hot” Sleeve: Ground contact phone plugs that are basically the same as standard stereo phone plugs with tip, ring, and sleeve contacts (thus the “TRS” designation — see the illustration on the left.) The phone jacks will also accept unbalanced signals RCA Pin Jack —simply plug in a standard mono phone plug. But what if you want to connect equipment that only provides RCAtype pin connector outputs? The solution is simple enough: use either RCA-to-phone plug adaptors or RCAto-phone cables, and plug into the speaker’s phone-jack inputs. If you’re connecting your HS speakers directly to a mixer such as input one of the Yamaha MG-series mixers, input they should usually be connected to the mixer’s “C-R” (Control Room) outputs so that you can control the monitor level without affecting the C-R OUT L R L R ST OUT level of the signal sent to the mixer’s main bus, which will usually be feeding your recorder or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) in a production type setup. MG Series 6 HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner’s Manual  HS80M speakers make this easy by providing a ROOM CONTROL switch that modifies the speaker’s bass electronic musical instrument. characteristics to compensate for the exaggeration caused English The HS-series speakers are also an excellent choice for direct connection to your electronic keyboard or other by nearby walls. As your speakers get closer to the walls you might find that setting the ROOM CONTROL switch to the “-2” or “-4” setting gives you more natural response in the bass range. As a reference, remember that you’re trying to approach the way the speakers sound when they’re located more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) away from the nearest walls. Speaker Placement Speaker placement is one of the most important considerations when setting up a monitor system, but it is all too often overlooked with the result that performance is seriously compromised. Admittedly the obstacles to perfect speaker positioning in the small studio are formidable. Having the space available to place your speaker system so that it can provide optimum performance is a luxury, but it is definitely worth the time Symmetry spent doing a little experimentation and measuring to make the most of limited resources. The difference can be astounding. The basics are the same whether you’re setting up a stereo or 5.1 surround system. As we’ve just learned, the response of a speaker can change drastically according to where it is placed in relation to surfaces. So what happens if one of your speakers is up against a wall and the other is out in the open? Rest assured that the results will not be good, and Proximity to Walls and Corners will definitely not be conducive to producing good mixes. You’ll have totally different response from your left and right speakers, making it next to impossible to create a well-balanced mix, or even position tracks accurately in the For the most accurate response your speakers should be stereo sound field. So whatever you do, if you’re serious positioned away from walls and especially corners, which about your sound make sure that your speakers are located can play havoc with a speaker’s frequency characteristics. A as symmetrically within your listening environment as minimum of about 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) away from possible. Use a tape measure to ensure that your speakers walls would be ideal, but in reality they’ll probably end up are the same distance from the side and rear walls. Large being placed on a desktop and pushed up against a wall. objects can throw the acoustic symmetry of a room off Just keep in mind that fact that the closer you get to walls balance, too. It’s also important to be aware of the location and corners the more exaggerated the speaker’s bass of doors and windows. It is not always possible to achieve response is likely to become, and some compensation — ideal symmetry, but it’s worth getting as close as possible. whether you compensate mentally or use some equalization — will probably be required. The HS50M and HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner’s Manual 7  The “Sweet Spot” English For both stereo and surround mixing your position in relation to the main front speakers — the “sweet spot” as it’s often called — should be one apex of an equilateral triangle. In other words your distance from either speaker should be the same as the distance between the two speakers. The speakers should also be “toed in” to the corresponding 60° angle so that the drivers are aimed directly at the listening position. The height of the speakers should be such that the tweeters are roughly aligned with your ears (this is 60˚ because high frequencies are the most directional). Fine-tuning for Stereo ● The speaker LEVEL controls should be set to the same level. A setting of about 12 o’clock corresponds to a nominal input level of about +4 dB. ● Since no subwoofer is being used in this setup, set the LOW CUT switch to “FLAT”. ● When set to “-2 dB” the EQ MID switch attenuates the midrange frequencies slightly to produce a somewhat “softer” sound that may be better for listening or long monitoring sessions. For accurate monitoring, however, set the MID switch to “0”. ● Set the ROOM CONTROL switch according to the distance your speakers are placed from the nearest wall (refer to “Proximity to Walls and Corners”, above). ● For accurate monitoring set the HIGH TRIM switch to “0”. This switch can be set to “-2 dB” to attenuate the highs slightly if you find the sound too bright. 8 HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner’s Manual  English Adding a Subwoofer Even if you don’t plan to set up a surround system, adding a subwoofer can be a real advantage for stereo mixing. If you can’t hear the extreme low end there’s not much you can do to make it sound great. The extended bass response provided by a good subwoofer can indeed help you to improve the overall quality of your mixes. The location of your subwoofer is not as critical as the main speakers, because frequencies below around 200 Hz — the region your subwoofer will be working in — aren’t directional. To say it another way, the ear can’t locate the source of such low frequencies, so in theory the subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room. In reality it’s a good idea to place the subwoofer on the floor somewhere between the main front speakers at the same distance from the listening position as the main speakers, but it doesn’t have to be dead center. Fine-tuning for Stereo + Subwoofer ● Set the HS50M or HS80M LEVEL control to about 12 o’clock to set the nominal input level to approximately +4dB. If you’re using the HS50M set the HS10W LEVEL control to about 10 o’clock, and if you’re using the HS80M set it to about 11 o’clock. You can then fine-adjust the HS10W LEVEL control as required. Another approach would be to adjust the HS50M/HS80M output level to achieve the desired relativebalance with the subwoofer. ● Start with the HIGH CUT control set at its center click position, which corresponds to a HPF frequency of about 100 Hz. The HIGH CUT frequency can be adjusted later to achieve the smoothest integration with the HS50M or HS80M speakers. ● Turn the HS10W LOW CUT switch ON. Adjust the LOW CUT control to achieve the desired degree of bass extension. ● Set the HS50M/HS80M LOW CUT switch to “FLAT”. ● When set to “-2 dB” the HS50M/HS80M EQ MID switch attenuates the midrange frequencies slightly to produce a somewhat “softer” sound that may be better for listening or long monitoring sessions. For accurate monitoring, however, set the MID switch to “0”. ● Set the HS50M/HS80M ROOM CONTROL switch according to the distance your speakers are placed from the nearest wall (refer to “Proximity to Walls and Corners”, above). ● For accurate monitoring set the HS50M/HS80M HIGH TRIM switch to “0”. This switch can be set to “-2 dB” to attenuate the highs slightly if you find the sound too bright. Setting Up for Surround C If you’re going to be mixing for surround, obviously you’ll need a surround monitoring system. For a 5.1 surround system, for example, you only need to R L add a center speaker and two rear speakers to the stereo + subwoofer system described in the previous section. Let’s see … two main speakers 30˚ plus one center speaker plus two rear speakers is a total of five 30˚ LFE speakers, and “.1” refers to the subwoofer. All present and accounted for! 100 120˚ 100 120˚ According to the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) specifications for 5.1 surround setup, the main front speakers are positioned in the 60° equilateral triangle relationship to the listening position described earlier, and the rear speakers should be located at LS RS the same distance from the listening position, but at an angle of between HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner’s Manual 9  100° and 120°, as shown in the diagram above. The center speaker should be placed precisely midway between the main front speakers, at the same distance from the listening position as the other speakers (which means that ideally it will be a bit English behind the main left and right speakers. As you may have deduced by now, the main left and right, center, and rear speakers are all located on the circumference of a circle with its center at the listening position. An easy way to get all the distances right is to use a piece of string cut or marked to the exact distance between the main left and right speakers. Attach the string to a mic stand or other convenient object at the listening position and use it to measure the distance from the listening position to each of the speakers. Stretched from the listening position to the speaker position the string will also provide a convenient guide for aligning the speakers so that they point directly at the listening position. MG-series Mixer Setup C L If you’re connecting to a standard mixer that is not specifically R LFE DVD Player designed for surround production, your main L and R speakers can be connected to any convenient stereo output pair via the HS10W subwoofer, while the center and rear speakers will be 6 Channel Line connected to individual output channels.

In this type of setup you can take full advantage of the console’s advanced surround mixing and bass management facilities. LS 10 HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner’s Manual RS  ● Set the HS50M or HS80M LEVEL control to about 12 o’clock to set the nominal input level to approximately +4dB. If you’re using the HS50M set the HS10W LEVEL control to about 10 o’clock, and if you’re using the HS80M set it to about 11 o’clock. You can then fine-adjust the HS10W LEVEL control as required. Another approach would be to adjust the HS50M/HS80M output level to achieve the desired relative balance with the subwoofer. * If you’re using the HS50M with a digital mixer, set the HS10W LEVEL control to about 9 o’clock. If you’re using the HS80M with a digital mixer set the HS10W LEVEL control to about 10 o’clock. ● Start with the HIGH CUT control set at its center click position, which corresponds to a HPF frequency of about 100 Hz*. The HIGH CUT frequency can be adjusted later to achieve the smoothest integration with the HS50M or HS80M speakers. * Set to 80 Hz if you’re using a digital mixer. Maintain a Consistent Monitoring Level Another difference between listening and monitoring is that when you’re listening for enjoyment you probably listen at significantly different levels at different times: from soft and unobtrusive for background music, right though room-shaking for involved listening or dancing. This is definitely not the case for serious monitoring. The response of your ears changes so drastically according to level, especially in the soft to medium-loud region, that is essential to maintain a consistent monitoring level otherwise you simply won’t get consistent mixing results. You’ll undoubtedly need to turn up or down a bit at certain points during the production process when listening for specific problems or effects — in fact it is important to listen to your mix at different levels as a final checking process, bringing the levels down very low to ● Turn the HS10W LOW CUT switch ON. Adjust the LOW CUT control to achieve the desired degree of bass extension. check if any elements of the mix disappear and make sure ● Set the HS50M/HS80M LOW CUT switch to “100 Hz”*. fairly small range. * Set to 80 Hz if you’re using a digital mixer. ● When set to “-2 dB” the HS50M/HS80M EQ MID switch attenuates the midrange frequencies slightly to produce a somewhat “softer” sound that may be better for listening or long monitoring sessions. For accurate monitoring, however, set the MID switch to “0”. English Fine-tuning for Surround that the vocal continues to maintain its balance in the mix at very low levels — but in general you should stay within a Just what is the best level to monitor at? Although there is a “standard” monitoring level specification,* the answer for most small studios is “whatever is most comfortable for you.” You need to monitor at a level that’s loud enough so that you don’t miss any soft details, but not so loud that your ears become fatigued (or your neighbors complain). If you find yourself turning up the volume after monitoring for a short while, your ears are probably starting to get ● Set the HS50M/HS80M ROOM CONTROL switch according to the distance your speakers are placed from the nearest wall (refer to “Proximity to Walls and Corners”, above). ● For accurate monitoring set the HS50M/HS80M HIGH TRIM switch to “0”. This switch can be set to “-2 dB” to attenuate the highs slightly if you find the sound too bright. tired and losing sensitivity. This is obviously bad for your music as well as your ears. So find that “comfort zone” and prepare to make some great music. * For you techies, the SMPTE RP 200 standard monitoring level is 83 dB SPL (RMS average) at the listening position, or if you’re mixing for film you’ll need to know that the standard Dolby monitoring level for surround is 85 dB SPL.

" INPUT L/R connector These are balanced XLR-type and phone type input connectors. Two different signals can be input at these INPUT connectors. If two signals are input at the same time, they are mixed before being sent to the subwoofer. Do NOT use both the XLR and Phone type connector at the same time. Please connect to only one of these connectors. & LOW CUT control Use the LOW CUT control to set the cutoff frequency from 80 Hz to 120 Hz when the LOW CUT switch is on. ' HIGH CUT control Use the HIGH CUT control to set the cutoff frequency of the signal output from the HS10W from 80 Hz to 120 Hz. ( LEVEL control # EXT SUB OUT connector Adjusts the overall output level. This is an XLR-type balanced output connector which outputs the mixed signal received by the INPUT L/R connectors. Use the EXT SUB OUT connector if you wish to add a second subwoofer. ) PHASE switch n The LOW CUT switch/control and HIGH CUT control do not affect the output level of the signal sent from the EXT SUB OUT connector. $ OUTPUT L/R jack These XLR-type balanced output connectors output the signals received at the INPUT L/R connectors, respectively. If the LOW CUT switch is on, the low frequency is cut. Use the LOW CUT control to set the cutoff frequency from 80 Hz to 120 Hz. Selects a phase of output sound from the HS10W. You will usually set this switch to “NORM”. However, the “REV.” setting may improve low-range response, depending on the type and location of the entire speaker system. Try both settings and select the one that produces the best lowend sound. * AC IN Connector Connect the supplied power cable here. First connect the power cord to the subwoofer, then insert the power cord plug into the AC outlet.
