Application Guide for  
Yamaha Installation Series Speakers  
Introduction  
This application guide shows system design examples of the Yamaha Installation Series Speakers.  
Here, typical speaker layouts comprising single loudspeakers and speaker clusters suited to the size,  
geometry and application of the room are shown.  
We hope that by applying the examples shown in this guide, this application guide may assist your  
speaker system design  
The IF2112 (12” LF) and IF2115 (15” LF) models featured in this first edition are higher power models.  
Various examples using 12” & 15” LF medium power models and three way high power models will be  
provided in the forthcoming second edition.  
Important parameters such as coverage area, SPL and frequency response of speaker arrays can be  
worked out easily by using “Y-S3” – Yamaha Speaker System Simulator software.  
Common Loudspeaker Format (CLF) data such as frequency response, balloon data, polar pattern,  
directivity, and impedance response of each speaker model is provided in the free downloadable “CLF  
Viewer”. An introduction to Y-S3 and the CLF Viewer follows at the end of this guide.  
Also U-brackets, Array frame and Pin out are introduced. Yamaha prepares many kind of bracket to fit  
various uses.  
Yamaha Installation Series Speakers pursue the goal of being "truly arrayable". Yamaha considers this to  
be not only physically arrayable by providing suitable array frames, but also “acoustically arrayable” by  
ensuring maximum phase coherence and minimum destructive interference.  
In order to realize the goal of being “Acoustically Arrayable”, Yamaha unified the phase curve for the  
whole Installation series, thereby minimizing SPL cancellations caused by phase difference between  
speakers in a speaker array.  
A further benefit of this unified phase response is the sonic consistency when different models are used  
in the same room, resulting in less ‘muddiness’.  
We hope that Yamaha Installation Series Speakers help you to improve your projects’ sonic  
environments!

Medium Installation: Dance Club  
This installation example represents a sound system for a dance club comprising of  
multiple zones.  
Applications  
- Restaurants  
- Themed bars (e.g. sports bar)  
- Dance clubs  
- VIP lounges, Chill out areas  
- Vertical drinking  
Speaker Layout  
Speaker System Overview  
Necessities such as high SPL, yet carefully controlled across the different zones, and the often  
encountered low ceilings dictate the use of a distributed speaker design.  
IF2112/95 used for dance floor areas to provide high SPL with controlled coverage to minimize  
reflections from hard surfaces.  
For applications not requiring such high SPLs, the IF2112/95M medium power models can be  
substituted.  
IF1218 subwoofer(s) provide the sub. Driving the IF1218 in discrete mode (each 18” driver  
separately) from two amplifiers provides redundancy. Loosing bass in a dance bar is not an option!  
Compact 8” models such as the IF2108 and IF2208 lend themselves well for lower SPL areas such  
as dining, vertical drinking, chill out, VIP lounges etc.

Yamaha Sound System Simulator Y-S3  
Trial and error is one approach to setting up a sound system, but proper analysis and planning can  
make the job go a lot faster, and you’re much more likely to achieve professional results requiring a  
minimum of post-setup tweaking. Yamaha’s innovative Y-S3 (Yamaha Sound System Simulator)  
software application employs advanced acoustic modeling technology to precisely simulate the  
sound pressure level distribution, frequency, and other characteristics of a specified acoustic space.  
It can also automatically generate optimum system configurations and processing profiles for the  
specified space, eliminating guesswork and providing accurate guidelines that can help you to set  
up the perfect system with minimum effort and expense.  
The Y-S3 application features an advanced graphical interface that makes it easy to specify the  
shape and other pertinent characteristics of the target space – right down to average ambient air  
temperature and humidity – with equally comprehensive output that provides a graphic  
representation of the actual sonic distribution within the specified area. There’s even an  
“auralization” function that lets you hear the simulated direct sound response of the coverage with  
your own ears.  
Simulation output can be saved in DME format files that can be directly imported into the DME  
Designer application, minimizing the time and effort required to set up a Yamaha DME-N Digital  
Mixing Engine. Y-S3 automatically suggests optimum speaker choice and system arrangements  
(Auto tuning Function), including the array pan, tilt, splay angle, EQ and gain required to deliver  
uniform SPL throughout the listening area. A preset “Installation Series” library ensures faultless  
system planning when using Yamaha Installation Series Speakers with PC-1N or XP series power  
amplifiers and DME24N/DME64N Digital Mixing Engines.  
Y-S3 can be freely downloaded from the Yamaha website:

some simple suggestions. The table in the following pages shows two different options and gives  
recommended power ratings along with examples of possible choices of models. One option is to  
maximize speaker performance, giving priority to sound quality, while the other gives priority to  
using your speakers in a safe manner. The former will give better sound, but increases the risk of  
speaker damage from signals received in an uncontrolled environment. The latter may increase the  
probability of signals from the amplifier being clipped. But if you can ensure the signals from the  
amplifier will not be clipped, it reduces the chance of damage to your speakers.  
Although the table in the following pages shows only recommended values for matching speakers  
and amplifiers, you should also consider the sound pressure level needed when selecting an  
amplifier. Lower sound pressure level requirements allow you to use amplifiers with lower power  
ratings. Using identical amplifiers can be beneficial as it allows for greater sonic consistency, and  
can simplify maintenance and inventory. When using multiple loudspeaker types simultaneously, or  
driving speakers in bi-amp or tri-amp mode, you may be using power amplifier channels with  
higher power ratings than required (i.e. unusued headroom). However, when the HF is driven by  
the same amplifier as the LF, you must take precautions to prevent excessive power reaching the  
driver(s). Therefore, in order to avoid damage , you should set an appropriate attenuation level and  
limiter level.  
Regardless of which of the above options you select, it is impossible to eliminate the possibility of  
speaker damage caused by factors such as microphone feedback, aggressive EQ, continuously  
clipped signals from amplifiers, processors, and mixers, and sine waves played back for extensive  
lengths of time. As such the recommendations listed here are not a guarantee of trouble-free  
operation.  
<Terminology used in the table>  
Rcmd Pwr: The recommended power ratings of the amplifier.  
(A) Amp: An amplifier recommendation for maximizing speaker performance when in a  
well-controlled environment.  
(B) Amp: An amplifier recommendation for using speakers safely when in an environment where  
there is a high probability of excessive signal input.

Recommended Limiter Setting  
Note that the figures are not a guarantee of protection for your speakers. Please refer to them  
on the understanding that they are provided as a guideline only.  
Limiters allow you to provide speakers with maximum protection from unpredictable signal  
overload. We have provided the following table as a list of threshold figures, which should give  
you a starting point to work from. When configuring threshold settings, you will need to know the  
power ratings of the speakers and the gain of the amplifier to which they are connected.  
The table in the following pages provides figures for amplifier gain levels of either 26 dB or 32 dB.  
For amplifiers with gain levels other than those listed here, deduct the positive difference of the  
gain from the figures listed for the 26 dB settings to calculate the correct setting. For example, for a  
gain level of 30 dB, subtract 4 dB from the figures provided for a 26 dB gain level to calculate each  
threshold.  
For amplifiers with specifications displayed in terms of input sensitivity, calculate the gain from the  
power and input sensitivity figures, then use the calculation method above to obtain the correct  
threshold.  
"DME library data for Installation Series Speakers" provides processor settings for Yamaha's  
"Installation Series Speakers" in the form of library data for DME24N/64N "Speaker Processor  
Components." Limiter settings (enabled by default) have been added to each library file.  
The settings assume maximum output gain of DME (excluding DME24N's analog output) is  
+24dBu and 26dB voltage gain of Amplifier (based on Yamaha PC series amplifier used at -6dB  
attenuation) for start point.  
If the set up differs from this, please check the level diagram and change the threshold parameters  
before using limiter.  
E.g. If +18dBu output cards such as MY4-DA or MY8-DA96 are used, raise the threshold by 6dB.  
E.g. If amplifiers with 30dB voltage gain are used, turn the threshold 4dB down.  
“DME library data for Installation Series Speakers” can be freely downloaded from the Yamaha  
Speaker Processor “SP2060” also contains these library files for Installation Series speakers as  
default presets.

When using Installation Series Speakers in passive mode or using Subwoofers, “Speaker Processor  
1Way” is recommended. Fig. D. shows the example of two Mid-High and 1 subwoofer system. It  
has input level, Crossover (HPF and LPF), Delay (up to 500ms), 6 band PEQ, limiter and output  
level. (DME has up to 6Way Speaker Processor components)

In the case of the balcony speakers, stage front speakers or simple symmetrical dispersion speakers,  
Multi output delay will be useful because signal for each speakers is same and only delay and level  
is changed and also the parameters of left side and right side is symmetrical. It is easy to set the  
parameters using snapshot copy & paste.

Signal Processors  
When the “Installation Series Speakers” are driven in bi-amp mode, a crossover is needed to split  
the LF & HF frequencies. Yamaha digital signal processors such as the DME series Digital Mixing  
Engines, new DME Satellite or the SP2060 speaker processor are recommended for optimum  
results. You can download dedicated processor settings for the Installation Series Speakers into  
highly accurate settings with just a few easy steps, providing the best speaker processing with the  
least amount of effort!
