YORKVILLE YSM1P Manuel De L'utilisateur page 3

Building on the success of the Yorkville studio monitor line, the active YSMp uses the same
cabinet and similar components as the popular Yorkville YSMi. This is comprised of a rugged,
shielded 6.5 inch 00-Watt woofer and a shielded  inch silk dome tweeter. The drivers are
center aligned vertically and mounted slightly forward to minimize reflections off the baffle. A
precisely tuned 2 inch cylindrical port, directly below the woofer, increases bass response and
allows the cabinet size to be kept compact. The YSMp incorporates a bi-amped power module
that delivers 5 watts (85 Watts of power to the woofer, 30 Watts to the tweeter) and generates
less than 0.05% distortion. The YSMp also features a +9dB / -6dB input trim control, a defeat-
able limiter, specialized tweeter overpower limiting and woofer over-excursion limiting.
While designing the YSMi and YSMp a concerted effort was made to instill the overall sonic
characteristics of the popular original YSM-. Similar in performance to the YSMi, the YSMp
is capable of reproducing the nuances of a recording or mixing chain without contributing sonic
coloration. It's suitable for home and project-studio recording and even moderate volume sound
reinforcement applications. It has the clarity and bass response that you would expect to hear
from a much larger cabinet and reproduces timbres with near pinpoint accuracy. The sound
quality is pristine, the finest details are well defined, and the harmonics are uncolored. The rock-
solid YSMp is constructed of 3/4 inch MDF, a 3/4 inch thick PVC clad MDF baffle and features
ample internal dampening material ensuring that there are no unwanted resonances.
Unique to active near field monitors in this price range, the YSMp features user select-
able filtering. A series of dipswitches on the back panel allow you to select the overall tone
shape of the cabinet.In order to fine tune the response according to room placement.
• Full Space, for placing monitors in the center of the room (+2dB boost @ 20Hz to 80 Hz).
• ½ space (for placing monitors against a flat wall (0 dB boost or cut)
• ¼ space for placing monitors in corners (-2 dB @ 20 Hz to 80 Hz).
This ensures smooth frequency response, regardless of placement in home studio, writing room
or professional studio. An additional user-selectable high frequency filter (+2 dB boost @ 0kHz
to 20kHz) has been added to allow further tweaking of the monitor to individual tastes. The input
cable can be either XLR or ¼ inch T.R.S. (balanced). On the front of the YSMp a blue Power
LED and a red input Clip LED are featured for quick status checks from the engineer's chair. The
cabinet is finished in an attractive, charcoal gray vinyl that resists scuffs and is easily cleaned.

Introduction
The YSMp system is an advanced powered studio
monitors. Designed specifically for recording and
home audio applications. Nearly a year of research
and development has helped us provide the
YSMp with the precise audio response needed for
critical post-production as well as realtime recording
applications. Comprehensive protection features
further ensure long-term uninterrupted performance
(even when life's little audio accidents occur).
