Yorkville YSM1i Overview

YSM1i Contemporary Passive Studio Monitor

For more than a decade the YSM1 has been a vital mixing tool for the serious studio engineer, widely accepted as one of the most transparent and wide response small format studio monitors available on the market. So how do you make an accepted standard better? Not by changing the sound, that's for sure ... but how about a cosmetic update? Why not...We've done away with the cloth grille and dressed up the baffle using a PVC clad MDF slab with compound radius edges, a foam speaker surround and a bright new logo treatment. Same great studio standard, great new look. The YSM1i .

Like the YSM1, the YSM1i is a compact, 2-way, near-field studio monitor designed to accurately reproduce the signal from a recording and mixing chain without contributing sonic coloration. It has clarity and bass response that you would expect to hear from a much larger cabinet and is suitable for home and project-studio recording as well as sound reinforcement applications. It reproduces timbres with near pinpoint accuracy and produces pristine sound which defines the finest details and harmonics of the input signal.

Yorkville YSM1i Features

The YSM1i features a 1" shielded soft-dome, ferrofluid-cooled tweeter and a 6 1/2" shielded, foam-surround woofer arranged in a symmetrical, vertical configuration with the drivers mounted slightly forward to minimize reflections off the cabinet face. A precisely tuned 2" cylindrical port directly below the woofer increases bass response and allows cabinet size to be kept compact. The internal crossover network is a ?tried and true? design consisting of a 12 dB/octave low-pass filter and a 6 dB/octave high-pass filter with a crossover point at 2.5 kHz. This proven design is functional, efficient and highly resistant to failure. Speaker cables are secured with gold-plated binding posts that also accept banana plugs.
The rock-solid YSM1i is constructed of 3/4" MDF with a 3/4" thick PVC clad MDF baffle, and features heavy internal bracing as well as ample internal dampening material ensuring that their are no unwanted bass resonances. The cabinet is finished in an attractive, charcoal gray vinyl that resists scuffs and is easily cleaned. The YSM1i exhibits impressive bass response and well articulated and balanced mid-range & treble resulting in a sound which is tight and well controlled without overshoot or flabbiness. In addition, stereo imaging is very good, resolution is consistent in every frequency range and bass response is excellent. The monitors excel at placing incredibly detailed, uniform sound across a relatively wide area allowing good variation in optimum listening location. Designed by Yorkville?s team of engineers using state-of-the-art computer technology, the YSM1i features the best price to performance value on the market.
