4. Placing Speakers
• Overview
Place the speakers in the room. You can add positions for each speaker array on a conventional proscenium or stage,
and place speakers on flat surfaces within the room such as ceilings and walls.
• Installing Speakers
By installing the speaker data that you’ve downloaded from the Yamaha Pro Audio website, you will be able to add
the speakers you want to use to Y-S3. For the installation procedure, see “Installing Speaker Data” on page 4.
• Adding a new speaker (Add Speakers)
Click in Speaker List or select [Add New Array (N)] from the [Array (A)] menu to open the Add
Speakers window. You can select the installation method (Enclosure type - Manual layout, Enclosure type - Auto
layout, Distributed) from the list box. Place each speaker array for which you have entered details. Installed speakers
will be appear in Aspect View, and are available for selection in Speaker List. See chapter 6 for details on calculation
results.
Speaker Arrays
This is a very flexible installation method compatible with all Installation Series speakers. You can save installation
data for each speaker array.
(See chapter 5)
Enclosure type - Manual layout:
The method allows a great deal of freedom in speaker layout, allowing the “Array Type” selection, mirroring, and
direct entry of coordinates.
Enclosure type - Auto layout:
Y-S3 will select an appropriate speaker array for your room and arrange them automatically, based on your “System
Type” selection.
Distributed Speakers
You can arrange speakers with a fixed spacing on a level surface (e.g. wall or ceiling). For the compatible speakers,
please check the website at https://www.yamaha.com/proaudio/
. Since the speakers will be treated as part of the
flat surface, you cannot save this arrangement.
(See chapter 5)
Distributed:
Sets the parameters for the level surface in which speakers are placed, depending on your speaker and the “Plane
Type” selections.
Coverage:
Y-S3 automatically places speakers in the coverage area on the receiving surface, depending on your selections for
placement pattern and degree of consolidation of the receiving surface.
Grid:
You can place speakers at any intervals on a grid, based on your selections for placement pattern and the distance
between speakers.
