PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-
circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
Water warning
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is printed on
the name plate of the device.
• Use only the included power cord.
• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place
containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not
excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a
position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection.
Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.
If you notice any abnormality
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound
during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by
it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and
have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Do not open
• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any
way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning,
discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other
property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
Connections
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended
periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before
turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.
• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and
not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
Handling caution
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the device LAST, to
avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the device should be turned off FIRST
for the same reason.
Location
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible.
If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect
the plug from the outlet.
• Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated location. Make sure that there is
adequate space between the device and surrounding walls or other devices: at least 20cm at
the sides, 20cm behind and 20cm above. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating,
possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in
direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel
disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (ports, etc.).
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or
openings on the device (ports, etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not use the device for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level,
since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing
in the ears, consult a physician.
• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting. Prolonged use in this condition could
cause overheating and result in fire.
• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use excessive
force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).
Even though this speaker system (HS50M, HS80M only) is magnetically shielded, you may need to move the speaker further away from the video monitor, if a nearby video monitor exhibits any
distortion or unnatural color shift.
Interference From Cell Phones
Using a cell phone near the speaker system can induce noise. If this occurs, move the cell phone further away from the speaker system.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device.
Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified Yamaha service personnel about replacing
defective components.

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
Getting Connected
You’d think that the requirements for “listening” and
“monitoring” would be the same, but that is not always
the case. A great listening system can be a great
Powered monitors offer many sonic and practical
advantages over passive types, but since they’re driven by
line-level signals you need to exercise the same care in
choosing cables and connectors as for the other line-level
connections in your studio. Always use high quality cables
and connectors, and keep cable runs as short as possible.
Unbalanced lines are fine for relatively short cables runs
unless you happen to be in a location that is plagued by
high levels of electrical and radio-frequency noise. Of
course if you’re using equipment that only has unbalanced
outputs you have no choice, and will need to set up your
system so that everything can be connected with the
shortest possible unbalanced cables. If your mixer and
monitors are located on the same desktop or tabletop, for
example, there should be no problem. But if you need to
run line-level cables longer than about three meters
(longer than about 10 feet), you might be better off using
balanced connections for maximum noise resistance.
The HS-series studio monitors provide two types of
connectors for input, so you can choose the type that best
matches your system requirements.
monitoring system, and vice-versa, but in most cases you’ll
miss details that are essential to producing the best
possible mix on a system that’s set up purely for musical
enjoyment. The difference is somewhat similar to the
difference between a retouched glamour portrait and the
original in which every blemish is clearly visible. The model
looks a lot better in the retouched photo, but the reality is
in the original un-enhanced version. As mixing engineer,
or producer, or sonic artist, you’ll want to hear the details
so that you can create a perfectly balanced mix that will
sound good on the widest possible range of audio systems
— and that can mean anything from high-ticket boutique
audio components in a properly-designed listening room
right down to the boom box on top of the fridge in the
kitchen. You don’t want problems hidden by poor monitor
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
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.

XLR-type Connector (Balanced)
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
monitors are primarily intended for use with balanced
signals, and their solid design and construction ensures
maximum electrical and mechanical reliability.

Pin 3: Signal - or “Cold”
Pin 1: Ground

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
or unbalanced connections.
Ring: Signal - or “Cold”
Tip: Signal + or “Hot”
Sleeve: Ground
For balanced connection via these jacks you’ll need to
use balanced cables fitted with TRS phone plugs — three-
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.)
Tip: Signal + or “Hot”
Sleeve: Ground
The phone jacks will also accept unbalanced signals
—simply plug in a standard mono phone plug. But what if
you want to connect equipment that only provides RCA-
type pin connector outputs? The solution is simple
enough: use either RCA-to-phone plug adaptors or RCA-
to-phone cables, and plug into the speaker’s phone-jack
inputs.
RCA Pin Jack
If you’re connecting your HS
speakers directly to a mixer such as
one of the Yamaha MG-series mixers,
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
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.

The HS-series speakers are also an excellent choice for
direct connection to your electronic keyboard or other
electronic musical instrument.
HS80M speakers make this easy by providing a ROOM
CONTROL switch that modifies the speaker’s bass
characteristics to compensate for the exaggeration caused
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
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.
Symmetry
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
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
stereo sound field. So whatever you do, if you’re serious
about your sound make sure that your speakers are located
as symmetrically within your listening environment as
possible. Use a tape measure to ensure that your speakers
are the same distance from the side and rear walls. Large
objects can throw the acoustic symmetry of a room off
balance, too. It’s also important to be aware of the location
of doors and windows. It is not always possible to achieve
ideal symmetry, but it’s worth getting as close as possible.
Proximity to
Walls and Corners
For the most accurate response your speakers should be
positioned away from walls and especially corners, which
can play havoc with a speaker’s frequency characteristics. A
minimum of about 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) away from
walls would be ideal, but in reality they’ll probably end up
being placed on a desktop and pushed up against a wall.
Just keep in mind that fact that the closer you get to walls
and corners the more exaggerated the speaker’s bass
response is likely to become, and some compensation —
whether you compensate mentally or use some
equalization — will probably be required. The HS50M and

The “Sweet Spot”
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
because high frequencies are the most
directional).
60˚
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.

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

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
add a center speaker and two rear speakers to the stereo + subwoofer
system described in the previous section. Let’s see … two main speakers
plus one center speaker plus two rear speakers is a total of five
speakers, and “.1” refers to the subwoofer. All present and

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
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.

If you’re connecting to a standard mixer that is not specifically
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
connected to individual output channels.

Monitoring Level
Fine-tuning for Surround
● Set the HS50M or HS80M LEVEL control to about 12
o’clock to set the nominal input level to
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
check if any elements of the mix disappear and make sure
that the vocal continues to maintain its balance in the mix
at very low levels — but in general you should stay within a
fairly small range.
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.
● 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 “100
Hz”*.
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
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.
* 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”.
● 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.
*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.

from the OUTPUT connector is cut. Use the LOW CUT control
to set the cutoff frequency from 80 Hz to 120 Hz.
" INPUT L/R connector
& LOW CUT control
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.
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.
Do NOT use both the XLR and Phone type connector at the same
time. Please connect to only one of these connectors.
( 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
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 low-
end sound.
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
