Yorkville Sound YS1068 Introduction, Features, Line Level balanced / Speaker Input Jacks

Introduction

The Y115P is a bi-amped powered full-range speaker designed to meet most any requirement. It projects 200 watts of clear, full sound. Features of this product include a Mic input, two parallel 1/4" input jacks, Volume control, loudness switch, and a speaker/line input select switch. This three way cabinet is protected against overcurrent and clipping via non-switchable (built-in) limiters.

Features

Line Level (balanced) / Speaker Input Jacks

The two 1/4" jacks will accept either Balanced Line, Line or Speaker inputs. In most cases, the input will be from another speaker source, and therefore the Input Select Switch should be IN.

Mic Input

The Balanced Mic input will accept most micro- phones. The Input Select Switch must be OUT for Line Level Inputs. When a Mic is being used in conjunction with another source (music) through the 1/4" jacks, the output level from the other source will automatically be attenuated.

Volume Control

Set the Volume Control to the desired output level. Start with a high Volume setting, with your mixer turned down. Then, further adjust the mixer and Y115P’s Volumes for best results.

A setting of 0 dB on the VOLUME control is the correct starting point when setting up a sound sys- tem when using the Line or Speaker inputs. The 0 dB mark refers to the setting that will give full power when the line input is used and the input signal is at a level of +4 dBV. This also is the setting to give a sensitivity of 2.83 Vrms (1 watt 8-Ohms) for 100 dB spl when set for speaker level input. Operation with settings significantly above +12 may clip the circuitry in the Y115P reducing the dynamics of the music.

Loudness Switch

The Loudness switch, when pushed IN, activates a low-frequency boost when desired. This feature is auto- matically reduced at high volumes to protect the speaker.

Ground Lift Switch

If a hum, or buzz is detected from the speaker, try setting the switch to the GND LIFT position (OUT position). The switch should otherwise be left in the GND (IN position).

Multiple Y115P’s

The parallel input jacks allow many Y115P’s to be connected in a string. There is no practical limit to the number of powered speakers that can be con- nected together.

Power Switch

The unit can be turned on and off via the power switch that is indicated by Power ON green LED at the rear of the unit.
