New YSM1p Active Near-Field Monitors from Yorkville
January 25, 2001New Yorkville Active near-field reference monitors ... The YSM1p (powered) monitorsToronto Canada, December 20, 2000: Yorkville Sound introduces the YSM1p powered studio monitors.
Building on the success of the Yorkville studio monitor line, the YSM1p uses the same cabinet, a 6.5" dual shielded 100-Watt woofer and 1" silk dome tweeter like our current YSM1. The YSM1p is using the new redesigned 'no grille' front you will see on the new YSM1I, the updated version of our popular YSM1.
The YSM1P incorporates a bi-amped power module delivering 70 Watts of power to the woofer, 30-Watts to the tweeter and generates less than .05 percentage distortion at full power. The YSM1P also features +/- 6dB input trim, defeatable limiter and specialized tweeter overpower limiting and woofer over-excursion limiting.
Due to the popularity of the YSM1, a concerted effort was made to keep the overall 'sound' of the YSM1 while making the YSM1p. The cabinet has had a cosmetic makeover, updating the look with a new 'no grille' PVC clad MDF front slab. The new no grille PVC / MDF front has also been used on the passive version, the YSM1i... i for improved.
Unique to active near field monitors in this price range, the YSM1p comes with user selectable filtering. A series of dip switches on the back of the monitor allow the engineer to select overall tone shaping for the cabinet.
This allows the end user to tune the monitor for location, (i.e. Full Space for use centered in the room (+2dB boost @ 20Hz to 80Hz) 1/2 space for use against a flat wall (0dB boost or cut) , or 1/4 space for use in corners (-2dB @ 20Hz to 80Hz). This ensures more flat frequency response, regardless of location in home studio, writing room or professional studio.
An additional user selectable high frequency filter (+2dB boost @ 10kHz to 20kHz) has been added to allow further tweaking of the monitor to individual tastes.
Overall frequency response is 40Hz to 20kHz, inputs are XLR and 1/4" TRS balanced. The YSM1p features blue power light and a red input clip light on the front of the monitor for quick and easy status checking from the engineer's chair.
