NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to the product or
damage to other property, follow the notices below.
 Handling and maintenance
• Do not expose the product to excessive dust or vibration,
or extreme cold or heat, in order to prevent the possibility
of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to
the internal components.
• Do not touch the speaker driver unit, since it might cause
malfunction.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance
(see page 108), particularly when connecting speakers in
parallel. Connecting an impedance load outside the amplifier's rated range can damage the amplifier.
• When cleaning the product, use a dry and soft cloth. Do
not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths, since this might cause
alteration or discoloration.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports (hole or holes at the
front) is normal, and often occurs when the speaker is handling program material with heavy bass content.
• Do not place the speaker face down.
 Protective Circuit
• All full-range loudspeakers are fitted with a self-resetting
poly switch that protects the high-frequency driver from
damage caused by excessive power. If a loudspeaker
cabinet loses high-frequency output, immediately remove
power from the power amplifier and wait for two to three
minutes. This should be long enough to allow the poly
switch to reset. Reapply 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.

These are speakON connectors (Neutrik NL4) for
connection to a power amplifier or a powered
mixer using a speaker cable. Use only Neutrik
NL4 plugs for connecting speakON connectors.
CAUTION
Use only speaker cables for connecting
speakers to the speaker jacks. Use of
other types of cables may result in fire.

Parallel connection of speakers
[INPUT/PARALLEL] connectors are connected inside in parallel. The first CHR receives the signal from an amplifier (such as a
power amplifier, a powered mixer, etc.) by one of the [INPUT/PARALLEL] connectors, and routes the signal to the second CHR
from the rest of [INPUT/PARALLEL] connectors.
When connecting CHRs in parallel, be sure to check the load impedance the amplifier can drive. The nominal impedance of one
CHR is eight ohms and the total impedance of two parallel connected CHRs is four ohms. In this case, the amplifier must be
able to drive less than four ohm load impedance.

Installation Examples
CAUTION
• Before doing any installation or construction work, consult with your
Yamaha dealer.
• The installation should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals.
Some fittings may deteriorate over extended periods of time due to
wear and/or corrosion.
NOTE
Wires can be attached to the screw holes for eye
bolts and to the screw holes for the U-bracket
(CHR10 only) located at the center of the handle.
The illustration below is an example of using the Ubracket.
• When choosing the installation location, suspension wire and
mounting hardware, make sure all are strong enough to support the
weight of the speaker.
• Make sure to take precautionary measures using wires to prevent the
speaker from falling down in the event of an installation failure.
• When installing the wire to the wall, install it higher than the wire’s
attachment point on the speaker, with as little slack as possible. If
the wire is too long, and the speaker happens to fall, the wire may
snap as a result of too much strain.
• Make sure to use eye bolts according to the standards and safety
regulations in your area.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by insufficient strength of the support structure or
improper installation.
Suspended Installation Using Eye Bolts (CHR15 and CHR10 only)
Attach commercially available long eye bolts (30–50 mm in length) to the screw holes located at the top (two locations) and on
the lower rear (one location). The screw diameter is M10. Keep in mind that you will need two points at the top to suspend the
unit.

Installation Using a Dedicated U-bracket (CHR10 only)
CHR10 can be neatly installed on a ceiling or a wall, either horizontally or vertically, with the separately sold Yamaha UBDXRDHR10 U-bracket. For instructions on installing the U-bracket, refer to the corresponding manual for the UB-DXRDHR10.
NOTE
The UB-DXRDHR10 can be used together with separately sold optional brackets, such as the Yamaha BBS251 Baton Bracket.
Also, the CHR10 features a rotatable horn (90 degrees). When shipped from the factory, the directivity of CHR10 in a vertical orientation is the setting which makes the sound expand in a horizontal direction, and inhibits or narrows the sound in a vertical
direction. We recommend changing the directivity by rotating the horn when you want to install the CHR10 horizontally and
broaden the directivity.
9
Installation Examples
Rotatable Horn (CHR10 only)
1. Using a No. 2 Phillips head screwdriver, remove all fixing screws on the grille, and remove the grille from the speaker.
2. Using a No. 2 Phillips head screwdriver, remove all screws installed on the horn and pull the horn out from the speaker.
NOTE
Make sure not to push the screws too strongly with the Phillips head screwdriver. This may cause the nuts inside the cabinet to fall off.
Screws (four total)
3. Rotate the horn 90 degrees, and re-install the horn to the speaker, reversing the steps above.

Troubleshooting
Symptom
No sound.
Howling sound is produced
(feedback).
Possible causes
The cable is not connected properly.
A microphone is directed toward the
speaker.
Aim the speaker away from the area where
the microphone picks up sound.
The sound is amplified too much.
Lower the volume of input device and locate
the microphone more closely to the sound
source.
The total impedance of the speakers is less
than the minimum load impedance of the
amplifier.
The amplifier shuts down.
High frequency range is attenuated.
Possible solution
• Connect the cable all the way in so that it
is firmly in place.
• Connect to “1+” and “1–” and turn the
plug to be locked.
Example:
More than two speakers (eight ohms) are
connected to a power amplifier, the load
impedance of which is six ohms.
The protection circuit is operating in the HF
unit.
Check the minimum load impedance of the
power amplifier, and lower the number of
speakers connected in parallel not to be
less than the impedance.
Refer to “Protective Circuit” in the NOTICE
(page 3).
If any specific problem should persist, however, please contact your Yamaha dealer.
