Yamaha Sound System Simulator Y-S
3
Trial and error is one approach to setting up a sound system, but proper analysis and planning can
make the job go a lot faster, and you’re much more likely to achieve professional results requiring a
minimum of post-setup tweaking. Yamaha’s innovative Y-S
3
(Yamaha Sound System Simulator)
software application employs advanced acoustic modeling technology to precisely simulate the
sound pressure level distribution, frequency, and other characteristics of a specified acoustic space.
It can also automatically generate optimum system configurations and processing profiles for the
specified space, eliminating guesswork and providing accurate guidelines that can help you to set
up the perfect system with minimum effort and expense.
The Y-S
3
application features an advanced graphical interface that makes it easy to specify the
shape and other pertinent characteristics of the target space – right down to average ambient air
temperature and humidity – with equally comprehensive output that provides a graphic
representation of the actual sonic distribution within the specified area. There’s even an
“auralization” function that lets you hear the simulated direct sound response of the coverage with
your own ears.
Simulation output can be saved in DME format files that can be directly imported into the DME
Designer application, minimizing the time and effort required to set up a Yamaha DME-N Digital
Mixing Engine. Y-S
3
automatically suggests optimum speaker choice and system arrangements
(Auto tuning Function), including the array pan, tilt, splay angle, EQ and gain required to deliver
uniform SPL throughout the listening area. A preset “Installation Series” library ensures faultless
system planning when using Yamaha Installation Series Speakers with PC-1N or XP series power
amplifiers and DME24N/DME64N Digital Mixing Engines.
