Owner's Manual

First, please carefully read the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" on the reverse side.

Thank you for your purchase of the Yamaha MA2030/PA2030 power amplifier. Please read through this

manual carefully before beginning use, so that you will be able to take full advantage of the device's

various functions. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe place.

• The illustrations as shown in this manual are for instructional purposes only, and may appear somewhat

different from those on your device.

• The company names and product names in this manual are the trademarks or registered trademarks of

their respective companies.

• In this manual, the

mark indicates content that is unique to the MA2030, and

content unique to the PA2030. Contents that are common to both have no marks.

• Amplifier illustrations are mainly from the MA2030. Where necessary, illustrations of the PA2030 are also

shown.

Features

• Supports both kinds of speaker connection: high-impedance connection and low-impedance

connection.

• Equipped with digital processor (Feedback Suppressor, Ducker, Leveler).

• Optional PA2030 expansion amplifier enables connection of additional speakers.

Included items (please check)

• Power cord (2.0m)

• Euroblock plugs (3-pin, 3.50mm pitch) x 1

, x 2

• Technical Specifications (English only): includes block diagram, dimensions, and input/output

specifications.

Connecting Speakers

Step

Change the setting depending on the speaker connection (high- or low-impedance connection), the kind

of speakers, and the installation location of the speakers. Refer to "Connecting Speaker Cables" at the

right bottom on this page and the explanation of high-impedance connection, etc. at the following URL.

Caution

• Before connecting speakers, make sure that the power of the device is turned off. If the power is on, there is a risk of

electrical shock.

• Ensure that load is not applied to the speaker cable.

• In a high-impedance installation, make sure that the sum of the power input ratings of the speakers to be connected

does not exceed 60W.

• In a low-impedance installation, make sure that the total impedance of speakers to be connected is at least 3 ohms.

High-impedance Connections (60W x 1 channel)

Maximum output

voltage: 100V

voltage: 70V

Set the speaker output to high-impedance by setting the [OUTPUT] switch to

[100V] or [70V] corresponding to the maximum output voltage.

Use speaker cables to connect the [SPEAKERS A]

terminal to the positive "+"

terminals of the speakers, and the [SPEAKERS B]

terminal to the negative "-"

terminals.

In case of high-impedance connection, the [SPEAKERS A]

and [SPEAKERS B]

not used. Do not connect to the terminals.

Note

The speaker output is processed through a high pass filter (80Hz, 18dB/oct.).

■

Low-impedance Connections (30W x 2 channels)

Speaker impedance

Set the speaker output to low-impedance connection by setting the [OUTPUT] switch

to [4Ω 3Ω].

Set the [SETUP] DIP switch 1 to [4Ω] (up, impedance: 4Ω or more) or [3Ω] (down,

impedance: 3Ω to 4Ω) corresponding to the specifications of the speakers to be

connected.

Connect the [SPEAKERS A]

terminals to the "+"/"-" terminals of the first

speaker, and the [SPEAKERS B]

terminals to the "+"/"-" terminals of the second

speaker.

Input audio signal from the external device, and confirm that sound is being output

from the speakers by gradually rotating the [VOLUME] knob to the right.

Make sure that the [VOLUME SIGNAL] indicator lights according to the sound input and that sound

comes from the speakers.

Matching the volume levels of external devices

When connecting two or more external devices, you can lower the volume of the louder devices to match the

level of the faintest device.

Select the stereo input with the loudest sound by rotating the [ST SOURCE] knob.

Press and hold the [ST SOURCE] knob until the [ST SOURCE] indicator flashes.

Rotate the [ST SOURCE] knob to the left until the volume decreases to the point that

lowers as loud as that of the faintest sounding stereo input.

As the volume becomes fainter, the flashing rate of the [ST SOURCE] indicator becomes slower.

Push the [ST SOURCE] knob to complete the adjustment.

You can also confirm the [MIC IN 1] jack input signal by the [MIC IN 1] indicator.

Note

• To adjust the [MIC IN 2 GAIN] trimmer, use a slotted screw driver.

• Refer to "Attaching Euroblock Plugs" for installation of Euroblock plugs.

• The input signal is always processed through a high pass filter (120Hz, 12dB/oct.) to cut off low frequency signals

as well as a Feedback Suppressor to suppress howling.

• If it is difficult to match the volume balance of the stereo input and the microphone input, lower the stereo input

volume (refer to "Matching the volume levels of external devices" in "Step 4 Adjusting Volume") and then adjust the

OUT] jacks of MA2030 and the [LINE IN] jacks of PA2030.

Connecting Speaker Cables

The [SPEAKERS] output connectors on the rear panel are barrier strip type connectors. The connections

are described below for two methods: using a spade lug and using a bare conductor.

Caution

Ensure that load is not applied to the speaker cable.

Note

Connect the cables so that the amplifier's "+" and "-" symbols match those of the speaker. If they are reversed,

the phase will be reversed and the sound will not be output correctly.

When using a spade lug

Loosen the screw, insert the spade lug all the

way from below, and tighten the screw.
