Yamaha Sound System Simulator Y-S3

Application Guide for

Yamaha Installation Series Speakers

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-S3application 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-S3automatically 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.
