Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha TX6n, TX5n, TX4n Power Amplifier. In order to take full advantage of the TX6n/TX5n/TX4n’s (TXn) functionality and to ensure trouble-free operation, please read this owner’s manual carefully before use. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe place for reference when needed.
Firmware Updates The firmware version of the TXn itself can be checked from the TXn’s panel and from Amp Editor. You can update the firmware via Amp Editor. For the update procedure, refer to the Amp Editor Owner’s Manual. You can download the latest firmware from the “Downloads” page on the following website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.
Basic Operation of the TXn Panel Operations Encoder B Function buttons Encoder A About the Display [EXIT] button [HOME] button Adjusting the Attenuator Shows an alert message if a problem occurs or if a user-specified event occurs. When the display shows the attenuator (i.e., in the HOME screen or the METER screen), you can use encoders A and B to adjust each channel’s attenuation. NOTE Shows the contents of the selected screen.
Basic Operation of the TXn Operations that can be Performed from the Panel NOTE • For details, refer to the TX6n/5n/4n Reference Manual. Subcategory Category METER UTILITY MENU Explanation ANA INPUT VOLTAGE Shows the input level from the analog input connectors. SLOT INPUT VOLTAGE Shows the input level from the slot. SP OUTPUT VOLTAGE Shows the output level from the [SPEAKERS] connectors. SP OUTPUT POWER Shows the output power from the [SPEAKERS] connectors.
Audio I/O Settings The TXn can be operated in one of three audio input/output modes: Stereo mode, Parallel mode, or Bridge mode. Make audio input/output connections and settings as follows. NOTE • With the factory settings, if both analog and digital (input from the slot) signals are input simultaneously, the two signal will be mixed and output. This setting can be changed from the panel of the TXn or via Amp Editor.
Audio I/O Settings Bridge Mode The amplifier will operate as a monaural high-power amp, with the input signal of channel A (analog) or channel 1 (digital) as the source. 5-way binding post connectors 2. Use the encoder A to move the cursor (the blinking frame) to “General,” and press the [ENTER] button. 3. Use the function buttons (PREV/NEXT) to access Stereo/Bridge/Parallel screen. – + Analog input Total speaker impedance: 4–16Ω 4.
Wiring of the [SPEAKERS] Connectors Turn off the POWER switch before connecting external devices to the TXn. 5-way Binding Post Connectors No Plugs Speakon Connectors Insert the Speakon cable plug (Neutrik NL4) into the connector, and turn it to the right to lock it. Remove about 13mm of insulation from the end of each speaker cable, and pass the bare wire through the holes in the appropriate speaker terminals. Tighten the terminals to securely clamp the wires.
Network Connection Example If you connect the TXn units’ [NETWORK] connector to a computer via an Ethernet cable, you’ll be able to monitor/control the TXn units from Amp Editor. Including computers and other equipment, a total of up to 253 units can be connected in a single network.

Troubleshooting Symptom No sound from the speaker Possible causes Response The cable is not connected properly. Make the correct connections to the audio input jack and the speaker output jack. The gain or attenuator setting has lowered the level. Gain is adjusted by the MENU screen → General → Sensitivity/Amp Gain. Attenuator is adjusted by turning the encoder in the HOME screen. The [MUTE] button is on.
