Help Speaker Connection

[GrantB]

Hi Guys,

I have been given a pair of Yamaha HS8 for my birthday and I have a few questions.

Do I  lose control of the master volume control on Genos2 when external speakers plugged in?

Will I need a mixer for more accurate control?

Will the current Yamaha MS01 sub-woofer still function?

Any help and guidance would be appreciated

Hi Grant --

Most likely, you will connect the HS8s to the MAIN L and MAIN R jacks (LINE level audio signals). The Master Volume control will raise and lower the volume to the HS8s.

You may not need a mixer. Many of us connect Genos1/2 directly to studio monitors like the HS8s.

As to the subwoofer, I don't know off-hand. The Yamaha MS01 and Genos-specific monitors have some funky wiring and I would need to study the service manual to find an answer.

I play through studio monitors and do not need a sub-woofer. My Mackie HR824s alone develop enough bass.

Hope this info helps -- pj
