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:
• 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 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
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:
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended
periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• 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.
• 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: for MSP7
STUDIO and MSP5 STUDIO at least 15cm at the sides, 15cm behind and 15cm above, and
for SW10 STUDIO at least 50cm at the sides, 50cm behind and 50 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 place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• 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 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.
• 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.
• When removing the speaker from the box or handling it at any time, be careful not to touch
the tweeter dome with your fingers. Otherwise, the speaker can be damaged.
Even though this speaker system 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.
The rubber feet included in this package can be attached to the MSP5 STUDIO and MSP7 STUDIO to prevent slippage when it is to be used on a slippery surface.
Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal, and often occurs when the speaker is handling program material with heavy bass content.
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
Setting Up for Superior
Monitor Sound
Unlike most other audio and production gear, the way speakers are set up in a room has a dra-
matic effect on the final sound. This short tutorial provides a basic guide to help you maximize
the performance of your Yamaha MSP-series monitor speakers.
Listening vs. Monitoring
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 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 dif-
ference 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 compo-
nents 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 perfor-
mance 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
MSP-series monitors carry on the tradition with accuracy
and detail that can help you make great mixes, while let-
ting you monitor for long stretches with minimum fatigue.
If you’re connecting your MSP speak-
ers directly to a mixer such as one of the
Yamaha MG-series mixers, they should
usually be connected to the mixer’s "C-R"
outputs or MONITOR outputs so that
you can control the monitor level with-
out affecting the level of the signal sent
to the mixer’s main bus, which will usu-
ally be feeding your recorder or DAW
(Digital Audio Workstation) in a produc-
tion type setup.

Speaker Placement
Speaker placement is one of the most important consid-
erations when setting up a monitor system, but it is all too
often overlooked with the result that performance is seri-
ously 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 experimen-
tation 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 sur-
round system.
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 equaliza-
tion — will probably be required.
Symmetry
As we’ve just learned, the response of a speaker can
change drastically according to where it is placed in rela-
tion 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 pos-
sible. 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 bal-
ance, 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.

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 tri-
angle. 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 cor-
responding 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 direc-
tional).
Fine-tuning for Stereo
(MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO x 2)
● The speaker LEVEL controls should be set to the same level. A setting of about 12 o’clock corresponds to a nominal
input level.
● Since no subwoofer is being used in this setup, if your speakers have a LOW CUT switch, set it to "FLAT" (the MSP7
STUDIO has a LOW CUT switch).
● For accurate monitoring set the LOW TRIM switch to "0". If you want to reduce the low-frequency level a bit set the
switch to "-1.5".
● For accurate monitoring set the HIGH TRIM switch to "0". This switch can be set to "-1.5 dB" to attenuate the highs
slightly if you find the sound too bright.

MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO/SW10 STUDIO Owner’s Manual
Adding a Subwoofer
Even if you don’t plan to set up a surround system, add-
ing 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 direc-
tional. 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
(MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO x 2, SW10 STUDIO x 1)
● Set the MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO LEVEL control to about 12 o’clock for nominal input level. If you’re using the
MSP7 STUDIO set the SW10 STUDIO LEVEL control to about 12 o’clock, and if you’re using the MSP5 STUDIO set it to
about 10 o’clock. You can then fine-adjust the SW10 STUDIO LEVEL control as required. Another approach would be to
adjust the MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO output level to achieve the desired relative balance with the subwoofer.
● Start with the SW10 STUDIO HIGH CUT control set at its center click position, which corresponds to a HPF frequency of
about 80 Hz. The HIGH CUT frequency can be adjusted later to achieve the smoothest integration with the MSP7 STU-
DIO or MSP5 STUDIO speakers.
● If you are using the MSP7 STUDIO, set the LOW CUT switch to "80".
● úFor accurate monitoring set the MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO LOW TRIM switch to "0". If you want to reduce the
level of the low-frequency range, set the switch to "-1.5".
● For accurate monitoring set the MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO HIGH TRIM switch to "0". This switch can be set to "-1.5
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 sur-
round 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 speak-
ers is a total of five speakers, and ".1" refers to the sub-
woofer. All present and accounted for!
According to the ITU (International Telecommunications
Union) specifications for 5.1 surround setup, the main
front speakers are positioned in the 60° equilateral triangle
relationship to the listening position described earlier, and
the rear speakers should be located at the same distance
from the listening position, but at an angle of between
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 listen-
ing position as the other speakers (which means that ide-
ally it will be a bit behind the main left and right speakers).
SUBWOOFER
English
MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO/SW10 STUDIO Owner’s Manual

As you may have deduced by now, the main left and right,
center, and rear speakers are all located on the circumfer-
ence 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 posi-
tion 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.
MG-series Mixer Setup
If you’re connecting to a standard mixer that is not specifi-
cally designed for surround production, your main L and R
speakers can be connected to any convenient stereo output
pair via the SW10 STUDIO subwoofer, while the center and rear
speakers will be connected to individual output channels.
Example: MG16/6FX
Digital Mixer Setup
If you’re connecting your MSP-series speakers to a mixing
console that features built-in surround handling capability —
such as the Yamaha DM2000, DM1000, or 02R96 — each
speaker will be connected directly to the console output dedi-
cated to handling that particular surround channel. In this type
of setup you can take full advantage of the console’s advanced
surround mixing and bass management facilities.

Fine-tuning for Surround
(MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO x 5, SW10 STUDIO x 1)
● Set the MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO LEVEL control to about 12 o’clock for nominal input level. If you’re using the
MSP7 STUDIO set the SW10 STUDIO LEVEL control to about 1 o’clock*, and if you’re using the MSP5 STUDIO set it to
about 11 o’clock*. You can then fine-adjust the SW10 STUDIO LEVEL control as required. Another approach would be
to adjust the MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO output level to achieve the desired relative balance with the subwoofer.
* If you’re using the MSP7 STUDIO with a digital mixer, set the SW10 STUDIO LEVEL control to about 12 o’clock. If you’re
using the MSP5 STUDIO with a digital mixer set the SW10 STUDIO LEVEL control to about 10 o’clock.
● Start with the HIGH CUT control set at about 2:30, 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 MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO
speakers.
* Set to 80 Hz if you’re using a digital mixer.
● If you are using the MSP7 STUDIO set the LOW CUT switch to "100 Hz"*.
* Set to 80 Hz if you’re using a digital mixer.
● For accurate monitoring set the MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO HIGH TRIM switch to "0". This switch can be set to "-1.5
dB" to attenuate the highs slightly if you find the sound too bright.
Maintain a Consistent Monitoring Level
Another difference between listening and monitoring is
that when you’re listening for enjoyment you probably lis-
ten 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 def-
initely not the case for serious monitoring. The response of
your ears changes so drastically according to level, espe-
cially in the soft to medium-loud region, that is essential to
maintain a consistent monitoring level otherwise you sim-
ply 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 dif-
ferent levels as a final checking process, bringing the levels
down very low to check if any elements of the mix disap-
pear 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.
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.
*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.
