What’s in the Box?
Setting Up Your Speakers
We recommend the Kanto SP26PL and SP32PL floor stands for both the YU Passive 4″ and YU Passive 5.25″. For desktop use, we recommend the S4 and SP9 desktop stands for YU Passive 4″, and the S6 and SP6HD desktop stands for YU Passive 5.25″.
The space between the two speakers and the distance from the listener is important. If the speakers are positioned too close or too far apart, stereo imaging will not be fully developed.
YU Passive is designed to perform optimally positioned at least 8” from the rear wall in an average listening room. However, it may not be possible to install the speakers in this position and since rooms vary in shape, size, and furnishing, a certain amount of experimentation is necessary to determine the most suitable position.
Moving the speakers very close to the rear wall will enhance the bass frequencies but will tend to reduce soundstage depth, while moving the speakers away from the rear wall will tend to have the opposite effect. Avoid positioning the speakers close to or in the corners of the room, as this will excite undesirable room coupling in the low and middle frequencies. If the width of the rear wall is limited then toe-in the speakers slightly to reduce reflections. Room characteristics and positioning have a profound effect on the performance of the speakers, so time and effort devoted to achieving the optimum positions will be rewarded.
Conventional Connection
Using 16-12 gauge speaker wire, connect the RED “positive” (+) terminal of one speaker to the RED “positive” (+) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel. Connect the BLACK “negative” (-) terminal of the speaker to the BLACK “negative” (-) teminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel.
Repeat the above procedure for connecting the remaining speaker to the RIGHT amplifier channel. Make sure that no bare wires from any of the connections touch other terminals as this could cause a short and damage your equipment.
Amplifier Requirements
YU Passive 4″ is rated to 70 W at 4 ohms, YU Passive 5.25″ is rated to 100 W at 6 ohms.
AttentionWhen connecting audio cables the amplifier must be turned OFF. After connecting all cables, the unit can be turned ON.
