Product Information

It’s ready to be used right out of the box, and the weight is surprisingly light. Measuring 6.7’’ x 11.25’’ x 8.75’’ and coming in at only 11.7 pounds , the Yamaha HS5 is compact enough to fit any sized room from huge studio control rooms to tiny home studio spaces. For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. Most home theater subs reach down to 20-30Hz, but studio subs tend to be a bit more limited at 30-40Hz because accuracy is more important. The Yamaha HS5 active studio monitor features the most compact form factor and lightest weight out of all the models in the HS range, making it ideal for bedroom producers, small studio spaces and engineer’s on-the-go that need an easy to transport monitoring solution. The HS5 also comes in at the most affordable price point if you’re looking to buy a professional-quality studio monitor on a budget. Suited To Small Spaces The HS5 features a 5" ultra-responsive woofer that produces the lower and midrange frequencies with clarity and definition so you don't have to worry about flappy, distorted low-end. The 1" dome tweeter provides an extended usable frequency range and gives you a smooth top-end. The bi-amped design of the HS5 means there's a separate amp for both the woofer and the tweeter ensuring high-resolution sound. Design

Additionally, the Yamaha HS5 does not include XLR cables, but this is hardly a feature we expect from any music gear. A lot of times, we get lured into the idea that something sounds better because it is louder, particularly if the bass is boosted. But a good pair of monitor speakers need to have a unwavering flat response that will give you the most unbiased sound possible . Yamaha HS5 speakers are built out of dense MDF board , and they provide a solid base to help minimize any unwanted resonance. The speaker enclosure on the HS5is designed to eliminate unwanted resonance to ensure a more focused and accurate sound. The dense and durable MDF construction has a damped acoustic response and the rear speaker port further reduces unwanted noise.

While not as tanky looking as the vintage models such as some seen here in the best Yamaha speakers guide, it lives up the their reputation for great build quality. Key Features If you work with a lot of bass, getting a dedicated subwoofer or an excellent pair of mixing headphones will definitely provide you with all the low-end clarity you need.

Angling the speakers inward slightly can improve the accuracy which is something important for professionals. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.The HS5 studio monitor has that typical understated Yamaha quality at typical Yamaha prices – ie entirely reasonable. Yamaha HS5: Who Is It For? While not ideal for bass-heavy genres, the HS5’s transparent mids and clean highs perform excellently for mixing and professional use.

With this in mind, the tuning controls are a welcome addition , helping you find the perfect space between your monitors and the wall . If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered The Room Control switch on the Yamaha HS5 and HS8 monitors allows you to compensate for any intensified bass caused by being in close proximity to a wall. I recommend using an isolation transformer to prevent any electrical noise from passing into your speakers. Well, if you’re tight on space in your workspace, the compactness of the HS5 and a compact sub might be the better choice.

Tech Specs

Note: if bass frequencies are to be monitored accurately.,then investing in HS8S is a good idea. Or a pair of headphones (ATH M50X) would do just fine for the bass frequencies. Additionally, another impressive feature of this pair of affordable monitors is the extra-large magnets with the HS5 advanced magnetic circuit design . The second-generation of the Yamaha HS series combines the pristine, high-resolution sound that the monitors are renowned for with an innovative resonance-busting enclosure and upgraded transducers for a smoother response. Compact Monitoring The HS5 has a sturdy, low resonance MDF housing that minimizes any unwanted vibrations that help produce a more clear sound. If I had to describe the overall frequency response in a nutshell, the Yamaha HS5 has very clear mids and highs. Clarity is the word that pops into my mind here.
