Welcome to the YST-M10 Powered Monitor Speakers Thank you for purchasing Yamaha's YST-M10 Powered Monitor Speakers. YST-M10 powered monitor speakers use Yamaha's Active Servo technology to provide high-quality amplification and output from a compact cabinet. Both cabinets feature a 8 cm (3.5 inch) drive unit and bass port. The right-channel monitor speaker contains a stereo 10 watt per channel amplifier, with volume and presence controls. A single cable connects the left-channel monitor speaker. YST-M10 powered monitor speakers are ideal for use with computer multimedia applications, personal stereo equipment, keyboard monitoring, and any other application that requires compact, portable high-quality monitoring. Thanks to the magnetic shielding around each drive unit, they can be sited close to computer monitors and other magnetically sensitive equipment. Input connection is via a 3.5 mm stereo jack, and with the supplied 6.25 mm phone jack adaptor and phono/RCA adaptor, almost any audio source can be connected with ease. To get the best performance from your YST-M10 monitor speakers, please read this Owner's Manual carefully. Then, store it in a safe place for future reference. Active Servo Technology Active Servo Technology is a system, pioneered by Yamaha, that allows small and medium size speaker cabinets to produce the type of bass performance usually only associated with large cabinets. A precision port in the cabinet provides an outlet for bass frequencies. However, to overcome the natural air resistance inside the cabinet, which tends to reduce the volume level from a port, a negative-impedance amplifier is used. This provides a solid bass end and wide frequency response, while keeping distortion at a minimum. YST-M10 Operating Precautions Please read the following operating precautions before operating your YST-M10s: • Use the power supply adaptor designed specifically for the YST-M10 only. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by using other power supply adaptors. • When disconnecting the power supply adaptor from an AC receptacle, hold and pull the plug, not the power cord. • If the YST-M10s are not going to be used for a while, disconnect the power supply adaptor from theAC receptacle. • Always disconnect the power supply adaptor from the AC receptacle before making any connections. • YST-M10s do not contain any user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to your Yamaha dealer. • Do not expose the YST-M10s to temperature extremes or direct sunlight. • Do not expose the YST-M10s to excessive dust, humidity, or vibration. • Site the YST-M10s on a level, stable surface. • Do not drop the YST-M10s, apply excessive force to their controls, or put heavy items on top of them. • If the YST-M10s should require cleaning, use a soft cloth. If necessary, a damp cloth. • To protect the YST-M10 speakers, avoid microphone feedback, continuous and excessive output from electronic musical instruments, excessive signal distortion, • If the YST-M10s are sited close to fluorescent or neon type lights, a slight hum may be heard. In this case, relocate the YST-M10s away from the light. • Although the YST-M10 speakers are magnetically shielded, keep floppy disks and tapes away from them. • The YST-M10s may cause picture distortion when sited close to a television or computer monitor. In this case, move them away a little. 4
