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:  
Do not open  
Water warning  
• 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, dis-  
continue 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.  
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:  
Location  
Connections  
• If you use a stand, check the stand’s specifications and make  
sure that it is sturdy enough to support the weight of the  
speaker. You may need to limit the number of people around  
the placed stand, in order to avoid toppling the device or caus-  
ing damage to the internal components.  
• 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.  
• Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the  
speaker jacks. Use of other types of cables may result in fire.  
• If you use the TS-80 and TS-90 speaker stands manufactured  
by Ultimate Systems (sold separately) to support the AX10/  
AX12/AX15/AX12M/AX15M speaker models, be sure to keep  
the following cautions.  
– Use the speaker stands with their legs fully opened.  
– Place only one speaker on each speaker stand.  
– Tighten fastening screws securely.  
• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance (see  
page 5), particularly when connecting speakers in parallel.  
Connecting an impedance load outside the amplifier’s rated  
range can damage the amplifier.  
Handling caution  
– Remove the speakers from the stands before moving the  
stands or adjusting their height.  
– Add weight such as sand bags around the stand legs to pre-  
vent them from falling over.  
• Always turn AC power to the power amplifier on last in any  
audio system to avoid speaker damage. When turning power  
off, the power amplifier should be turned off first for the same  
reason.  
– Use the stand at a maximum height of 140 cm.  
• If you use a metal socket of the AX15W subwoofer to allow  
mounting of a satellite speaker, use a pole shorter than 90cm  
with an outer diameter of 35mm.  
• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or  
more people.  
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.  
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or  
extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater)  
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.

This product, when used in combination with  
amplification and/or additional loudspeakers,  
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.  
DO NOT operate at high volume levels or at a  
level that is uncomfortable. If you experience  
any discomfort or ringing in the ears, or suspect  
an hearing loss, you should consult an audiolo-  
gist.  
If a loudspeaker cabinet loses high-frequency output, immedi-  
ately remove power from the unit and wait for two to three min-  
utes. They should allow the poly switch to reset. Re-apply power  
and check the performance of the high-frequency driver before  
continuing with the power reduced to a level that does not cause  
the poly switch to interrupt the signal.  
To protect your speakers  
• 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.  
When choosing a power amplifier to use with your speakers,  
make sure that its power output matches the speakers’ power  
capacity (refer to the Specifications on page 5). Even if the  
amplifier’s power output is lower than the speakers’ PGM (pro-  
gram) power capacity, the speakers may be damaged when clip-  
ping of a high input signal occurs.  
• Use only Neutrik NL4FC plugs for connecting Speakon connec-  
tors.  
The following may cause damage to speakers:  
• Feedback caused when using a microphone.  
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by  
improper use or modifications to the device.  
• Continuous high sound pressure level produced by electronic  
instruments.  
* Illustrations in this manual are for explanatory purposes only,  
and may not match the actual appearance of the product during  
operation.  
• Continuous high-power output distorted signals.  
• Popping noises caused by turning on equipment, or by con-  
necting or disconnecting system components while the ampli-  
fier is turned on.  
* Company names and product names used in this Owner’s Man-  
ual are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective  
owners.  
Before Making Connections  
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.  
I Neutrik NL4FC Plug Wiring  
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 cable — NOT shielded instrument or line cable — for all

I Subwoofer Parallel-connection  
The subwoofer AX15W features four input/parallel connectors—two 1/4” phone jacks and two Neutrik NL4MP  
connectors. Use either a phone jack or a Neutrik connector to receive input from your sound system/power ampli-  
fier. One of the spare connectors can be used to parallel-connect an additional main speaker (keeping in mind the  
impedance considerations mentioned below).  
I 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 parallel-  
connected 8-ohm speakers have a total impedance of 4 ohms. The AX10/AX12/AX15/AX12M/AX15M are 8-ohm  
speakers, and two of these can safely be paralleled on one output. Two or more speakers can be connected in paral-  
lel, however, if you are using a power amplifier that can safely drive load impedances of 4 ohms or lower.
