Yamaha TRS-MS04 amplifier connections

theodorn

I was helping out some people emptying a storage room, and one of the things there was a bass woofer or something, wasn't sure what it was. I said I wanted to take it with me, and see if it can be of some use to me.

It turns out to be this particular model, Yamaha TSR-MS04 (see pictures below). It does come with a pair of speakers, but I don't have the speakers. I was wondering if I could connect it to my Casio PX-5S.

Problem is the connections on the thing. Does anybody know what they are? Can such cables be bought somewhere? I can't plug a regular jack into the one to the right, and I have no idea what the left one will require.

Edit How do I post images? If I drag them into the post, they are interpreted as text,and exceed the allowed length (would also be garbage to parse them as text).

There are basically two scenarios.

You have the picture on your computer:
1.1. You can copy the picture (select it in a file browser and press Ctrl+C or ⌘-C to insert it in the clipboard) and then paste it in the text window where you write your post here (Ctrl+V or ⌘-V). This should automatically upload the image to Imgur and then embed it into the post. I don't think dragging and dropping the picture works.
1.2. You can press the following button and choose the picture from the file dialog, it will do the same as 1.1
You have the picture already uploaded somewhere and you have the URL. Then you press the other picture button and enter the URL there:

Testing to see if I can add an image I uploaded beforehand to Imgur, but isn't there a simpler solution?

When you type a reply, don't you have an "image" icon in a ribbon beneath the text box (second icon from the left in my mobile)? Click there and it should open a file explorer for you to select. And I think that you can also copy and paste directly…

If you're missing the two satellite speakers I think there's no use for the TRS-MS04.

The two speakers that are missing could have been connected to most any audio device.

But the "subwoofer" part of the system … the part you have … has what appears to be a mini-DIN plug wired specifically for use with the Tyros 4. There's also a conventional audio cable hookup, presumably for connection to the subwoofer drive port of the Tyros.

Summary: I think you lack the satellite speakers that could be useful, and you have a subwoofer you probably cannot use.

Thanks MacMacMac , I knew you'd know about this vintage stuff. 😆

You're right, I don't have the satellite speakers. The Tyros 4 was in the storage, but the owners wanted to keep it (can't blame them).

If there is no use for the subwoofer by itself, I think I'll contact the owners, and tell them about the subwoofer. Maybe they have the rest of the setup, and can use it in their work on the Tyros 4.

vagfilm if I click it, it opens up a dialog box with {Link, Title, Insert (button}. Does not open a file explorer window for me.

Edit was looking at the wrong image button, I always clicked the one in the middle. The second one from the left - also on a laptop, which I'm using now - opens up a file explorer popup window. Thanks!

There are two picture buttons, that's probably slightly confusing... You should use the first one, bigger, see my screenshots above. It came with the Imgur extension and does that automagic that will upload the image from the clipboard to Imgur and then insert the proper tag in the post, so that the picture is embedded in your post.

Thanks CyberGene for that detailed explanation. It's good to know I can simply copy a section from my screen with Shift-Windows logo - S and insert it right into the post.

In the case of these pictures I wanted to show, I had to edit them, so the Shift-Windows logo - S way wasn't what I wanted in that case, but in many other use cases, it'll be the way to go.
