Installation Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha VKE2015, VKE2012, VKE2010 Speaker System (hereinafter referred to as“the speaker”).
CAUTION
This guide is intended for qualified installation contractors and explains how to install the speaker and connect to an amplifier. After reading this guide, please
keep it available for future reference.
*The example illustrations used in this guide are taken from the VKE2012, if not otherwise specified.
• Before doing any installation or construction work, consult with your Yamaha dealer.
• Do not attach the speaker to thin plywood or soft wall surface materials, as the screws may tear free from flimsy surfaces, causing the speaker to fall
and be damaged, or result in personal injury.
• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix these to the wall along with the speaker.
Precautions
• The installation should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals. Some fittings may deteriorate over extended periods of time due to wear and/or
corrosion.
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, shortcircuiting, damages, fire or other hazards.
These precautions include, but are not limited
to, the following:
If you notice any abnormality
• If any of the following problems occur, immediately
turn off the power of the amplifier.
– Unusual smells or smoke are emitted.
– Some object, or water has been dropped into the
product.
– There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the
product.
– Cracks or other visible damage appear on the
product.
Then have the product inspected or repaired by
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not open
• This product contains no user-serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way.
Water warning
• Do not expose the product to rain, use it near
water or in damp or wet conditions, or place on it
any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses)
containing liquids which might spill into any
openings.
Fire warning
• Do not place any burning items or open flames near
the product, since they may cause a fire.
Hearing loss
• Before turning the power of all devices on or off,
make sure that all volume levels are set to the
minimum. Failing to do so may result in hearing loss,
electric shock, or device damage.
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system,
always turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid
hearing loss and speaker damage. When turning the
power off, the power amplifier should be turned off
FIRST for the same reason.
• Do not fasten the speaker to the ceiling with nails, adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to pull free.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed
below to avoid the possibility of physical
injury to you or others. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
Location and connection
• Do not place the product in an unstable position or
a location with excessive vibration, where it might
accidentally fall over and cause injury.
• Keep this product out of reach of children. This
product is not suitable for use in locations where
children are likely to be present.
• Do not place the product in a location where it may
come into contact with corrosive gases or salt air.

• Do not use the speaker’s handles for suspended
installation. Doing so can result in damage or injury.
• Do not hold the bottom of the product when
transporting or moving it. In doing so, you may pinch
your hands under the product, and result in injury.
• Do not press the rear panel of the product against the
wall. Doing so may cause the plug and speaker cable
to come in contact with the wall and detach from the
power cord, resulting in short circuiting, malfunction,
or even fire.

amplifier is lower than the power capacity of this
product. If the output power is higher than the power
capacity, malfunction or fire may occur.
• Do not input excessively loud signals that may result
in clipping in the amplifier or cause the following:
– Feedback, when using a microphone
– Continuous and extremely loud sound from a
musical instrument, etc.
– Continuous and excessively loud distorted sound
– Noise caused by plugging/unplugging the cable
while the amplifier is turned on
Even if the output power of the amplifier is lower

occur.
Notice
Notice
The required length of a screw differs depending on the mounting bracket to be used. Select a screw which is suitable for use with the mounting bracket and can
be fully inserted into the hole on the speaker.
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to
the product, or damage to other property, follow the
notices below.
Handling and maintenance
You can mount the speaker to the ceiling by using commercially available mounting brackets. To fix the speaker to a mounting bracket, use commercially
available screws (M10 × 2) inserted to the screw holes on the top or both sides of the speaker as shown below.
• 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.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on
the product, since this might cause alteration or
discoloration of the panel.
• 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.
• Protection Circuit
This speaker system has an internal protection circuit
that shuts off the HF driver unit when an excessive
input signal is applied. If the HF driver unit emits
no sound, reduce the volume level of the amplifier
immediately. (The sound will return automatically in
several seconds.)
• Do not place the speaker face down, as deformation
of the grille may result.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal,
and often occurs when the speaker is handling
