Club V Series
DLF

This DME library data provides optimal settings for Club V speakers operated through DME-series speaker processor components.

To create processor settings for your speakers, simply set the speaker processor components into DME Designer and call the library data. These libary data may also be downloaded to the SP2060 speaker processor.

Current Version Info

V1.0

Procedure of Use

Saving the Library Data

Windows XP/2000:
Open the Library folder — that is, the folder named:

\\Program Files\YAMAHA\OPT Tools\DME Designer\Library

If the Library folder does not contain a folder named SpeakerProcessor, please copy the entire decompressed SpeakerProcessor folder into the Library folder. If, on the other hand, the Library folder contains a folder named:

\SpeakerProcessor\Speaker Processor 1 Way

then copy the Club_V folder (which you will find in the decompressed folder) into this folder.

Windows Vista:
Open the Library folder — that is, the folder named:

Public\Public Documents \YAMAHA\DME Designer\Library

If the Library folder does not contain a folder named SpeakerProcessor, please copy the entire decompressed SpeakerProcessor folder into the Library folder. If, on the other hand, the Library already contains a folder named:

\SpeakerProcessor\Speaker Processor 1 Way

then copy the Club_V folder (which you will find in the decompressed folder) into this folder.

  • Speaker processor component are supported by DME Designer versions 1.2 and above.
  • DME Desiginer versions 3.0 and above will automatically generate the

    \SpeakerProcessor\Speaker Processor 1 Way

    folder within the Library folder.
  • Note the Club_V library data must be used as 1-Way speaker processor components. The data cannot be loaded with other component types.
  • For information about how to save library data into the SP2060 unit, refer to the section entitled "SP2060 Library Manager" within the DME Designer instruction manual.

Library Filenames

Library files are named as follows:
model-name_[drive-mode*]_ subwoofer-use_floor-monitor-use.cel

Specifically, the folloiwng abbreviations are used:
"sub": Full-range speaker settings, when used in combination with subwoofer.
"moni": Serttings for use as floor monitor

*Note that as Club V speakers run in passive drive mode only, the drive-mode indication is omitted from the filenames.

Limiter settings

Default threshold levels have been set on the assumption of a maximum processor output level of +24dBu (corresponding to analog output from the SP2060 and DME24N) and an amp voltage gain of 26dB (as, for example, when using an XP-series amp set to 26dB gain with ATT set to 0dB; or when using a P-series amp set to 32dB gain with ATT set to -6 dB). If you are using a setup that does not match these assumptions, please change the threshold levels accordingly.
Example 1: If you are using the +18dBu MY8DA96 card in the DME64/24N, raise the threshold by 6dB.
Example 2: If you are using an amp with 32dB gain and with ATT set to 0dB, drop the threshold by 6dB.

Note: The use of a limiter does not guarantee the protection of your speakers! The use of recommended limiters should be considered only the first step toward protecting your system.

Subwoofer Polarity, Positioning, and Level

Normal polarity is appropriate where the subwoofer and full-range speakers are equidistant from the listening point (for example, if the full-range speakers are set on a pole stand above the subwoofer, or are set on the subwoofer unit itself with baffle positioning aligned). In this case, the phase match will boost the bass acoustics in the crossover range.
If the subwoofer and full-range speakers are not equally distant from the listening point, however, then you may find that you get stronger bass-range energy and better results by reversing the polarity. Try using both normal and reverse polarities, and then select the one which provides the best sound measurements or subjective results at the listening point.
Note that the level required from the subwoofer will vary according to the application, the equipment mix, and the number of units. Set the level to get the best result for your particular application and setup.

Also Note…

Set the power amp's HPF and LPF switches off. Also set YS Processing off (if using the Yamaha P-S series).

This library data was created using the SP2060 (Fs 96KHz).
