Description
Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor Pair, 5-inch Active Nearfield Monitors
Product Overview
Key Features
- ✓ Bi-Amplified Design:A 45W amp for the 5" woofer and a 25W amp for the 1" tweeter ensure each driver operates at its peak efficiency, resulting in a clear and powerful sound.
- ✓ Room Control & High Trim:Adapt the monitors to your room's acoustics. The Room Control switch attenuates unnatural low-end buildup when monitors are near walls, while High Trim allows for flexible control of high-frequency response.
- ✓ Accurate Sound Reproduction:Engineered for a flat frequency response (54Hz - 30kHz), the HS5 reveals the true character of your audio without adding any artificial warmth or brightness.
- ✓ Versatile Connectivity:Equipped with both balanced XLR and TRS phone jack inputs, allowing for easy connection to a wide range of professional and consumer audio equipment.
- ✓ Low Resonance Enclosure:The dense MDF cabinet is designed to minimize resonance and eliminate unwanted coloration, ensuring the sound you hear is coming directly from the drivers.
Why Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitor Pair Is Better
Unlike many modern studio monitors that are designed to sound flattering, the Yamaha HS5 continues the brand's tradition of sonic honesty. Its purpose is not to make your music sound 'good' in the studio, but to provide a truthful reference point. This approach means that if your mix sounds great on a pair of HS5s, it will sound great on almost any system—from earbuds to car stereos. This commitment to translation is what separates the HS5 from its competitors and makes it a dependable tool for serious audio work.

FAQs or Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this price for a single monitor or for a pair?
A: This product listing is for a pair of two Yamaha HS5 studio monitors, ensuring you have a perfectly matched set for stereo mixing.
Q: Do these monitors come with audio cables?
A: Audio cables are not included. You will need to purchase two balanced XLR or TRS cables separately to connect the monitors to your audio interface.
Q: Are these monitors good for beginners?
A: Yes, the HS5s are an excellent choice for beginners. Their honest sound reproduction teaches you to create well-balanced mixes that translate properly, which is a fundamental skill in audio engineering.
Q: How do I know if the HS5 is the right size for my room?
A: The HS5 is ideal for small to medium-sized rooms (e.g., a typical bedroom or small office). For larger rooms or if you produce bass-heavy music, you might consider the larger HS7 or HS8 models.
Q: Do I need a subwoofer with the HS5 monitors?
A: While the HS5 provides a clear bass response down to 54Hz, adding the matching Yamaha HS8S subwoofer can provide a more complete low-end picture, which is beneficial for mixing genres like electronic music or hip-hop.
