Mode d’emploi
Nous vous remercions d’avoir acheté les enceintes
YAMAHA. Pour obtenir les performances optimales de
vos enceintes et garantir une longévité maximale, lisez
attentivement ce mode d’emploi avant d’utiliser les
enceintes. Conservez-le en lieu sûr pour pouvoir vous y
référer ultérieurement.
This product, when used in combination
with amplification and/or additional loud-
speakers, may be capable of producing
sound levels that could cause permanent
hearing loss.
Poly Switch
All full-range loudspeakers are fitted with a self-resetting
poly switch that protects the high-frequency driver from
damage caused by excessive power.
If a loudspeaker cabinet loses high-frequency output, imme-
diately remove power from the unit and wait for two to three
minutes. They should allow the poly switch to reset. Re-
apply power and check the performance of the high-fre-
quency driver before continuing with the power reduced to a
level that does not cause the poly switch to interrupt the sig-
nal.
DO NOT operate at high volume levels or at
a level that is uncomfortable. If you experi-
ence any discomfort or ringing in the ears, or
suspect an hearing loss, you should consult
an audiologist.
On the CW115V/CW118V/CW218V subwoofer, the Poly
Switch protects the woofer and a similar routine should be
followed if its output is lost.
To protect your speakers
When choosing a power amplifier to use with your speakers,
make sure that its power output matches the speakers’ power
amplifier’s power output is lower than the speakers’ PGM
(program) power capacity, the speakers may be damaged
when clipping of a high input signal occurs.
• In any system using two or more speakers, be sure to match
the connection polarities of all speakers to the amplifier(s) –
e.g. always connect “+” to “+” and “-” to “-”. If the polarities
are not properly matched the speakers will be driven out of
phase and the sound will suffer.
The following may cause damage to speakers:
• Feedback caused when using a microphone.
• Use only Neutrik NL4FC plugs for connecting Speakon con-
nectors.
• Continuous high sound pressure level produced by elec-
tronic instruments.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by
improper use or modifications to the device.
• Continuous high-power output distorted signals.
• Popping noises caused by turning on equipment, or by
connecting or disconnecting system components while the
amplifier is turned on.
* Illustrations in this manual are for explanatory purposes
only, and may not match the actual appearance of the prod-
uct during operation.
* Company names and product names used in this Owner’s
Manual are trademarks or registered trademarks of their

Connecting the Speakers
I Phone Plug Wiring

Phone plugs for connection to the phone jack inputs should be wired as
shown to the right. Be sure to use proper speaker cable — NOT shielded
instrument or line cable — for all speaker connections.

If you will be using the Neutrik connectors for speaker input,
wire the plugs as shown to the right. Be sure to use proper speaker

I Full-range Connection
Each speaker (except for the C112VA/ C115VA) features four input/parallel connectors—two 1/4” phone jacks and
two Neutrik Speakon NL4MP connectors. Use either a phone jack or a Speakon connector to receive input from your
sound system/power amplifier. One of the spare connectors can be used to parallel-connect an additional speaker
(keeping in mind the impedance considerations mentioned below).

Impedance Considerations
When connecting speakers in parallel be sure to check the rated load impedance of the power amplifier. Most power
amplifiers are capable of safely driving speakers with minimum impedance of 8 ohms or 4 ohms. A pair of paral-
lel-connected 8-ohm speakers have a total impedance of 4 ohms. Two 8-ohm speakers can safely be paralleled on one
output. 4-ohm speakers, however, should not be parallel-connected with other speakers. These models can be con-
nected in parallel, however, if you are using a power amplifier that can safely drive load impedances of 2 ohms or
lower. Check your speaker impedance on page 7.

I Subwoofers and the PN90 Crossover Network
Adding subwoofers to speaker systems like the one shown in the diagram can provide extended frequency range and
superior overall sound quality. After dividing the line-level audio from the preamplifier or mixing console into sepa-
rate frequency bands via the PN90 crossover network, the separate frequency bands are sent to separate power ampli-
fiers.

Precautions for operating the PN90
• Do not connect the PN90 between the power amplifier and speakers. The high voltage levels produced can damage
the PN90.
• Use the PN90 with a load impedance of between 7.5kΩ and 30kΩ. (Rated load impedance is 15kΩ)
• The polarity of the LOW signal is inverted at the crossover point between the LOW and HIGH signals. Compen-
sate for this by reversing the polarity when connecting the power amplifier output jacks to a subwoofer. Note that
you must reverse the polarity between the power amplifier and subwoofers rather than between the PN90 and
power amplifier to prevent damage to the connected device.
• The PN90’s connectors are unbalanced phone jacks. Use shielded audio cable with phone plugs to connect to the
PN90. Do not use speaker cable.
• Adjust the level of the LOW and HIGH signals using the power amplifier volume controls.

Suspended and Bracket Installation
• Consult an installation expert to arrange for installation or construction work.
• Choose suspension wire, an installation location, and mounting hardware that are strong enough to support the
weight of the speaker.
• Some fittings may deteriorate over extended periods of time due to wear or corrosion. For safety the installation
should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by insufficient strength of the support structure or improper
installation.
I Suspended Installation
I Bracket Installation
The C112VA and C115VA can be used in suspended “flying”
rigs by using an appropriate suspension wire.
The C112VA has bracket-mounting screws on the top, bottom,
and sides of the speaker enclosure. The C112VA can be
mounted on a wall or ceiling using the optional brackets listed
below.
1. Replace the bolts with the supplied eyebolts (3/8") as shown
in the diagram, and then suspend the speaker using an
appropriate wire.

Eyebolts
• Use only the supplied eyebolts.
• Use two or more eyebolts for suspended installa-
tion. Always use the eyebolts marked
.
• Do not suspend a speaker from another suspended
speaker.
• Use only the specified screws (W5/16")
to attach the bracket to the speaker.
The mounting screws are installed on the speaker
when it leaves the factory. Refer to the instruc-
tion manual supplied with your bracket for
installation details.
2. The speaker angle can be adjusted for optimum coverage by
adjusting the lengths of the suspension wires, but the down-
ward tilt angle must be less than 45 degrees, as shown in the
diagram.
