The
Yamaha HS-5
is a new addition to Yamaha’s HS series of active monitors, influenced by the critically acclaimed and highly sought-after NS-10 studio monitor speakers.
The Yamaha HS5 Active Studio Monitor features bi-amped full range 2-way speakers rated at 45W and 25W and has been developed by Yamaha to offer an exceptionally flat and accurate frequency response for use in music production and composition as well as home project studios. The HS range of monitors’ design has been informed by the tradition of the legendary NS10M monitors.
Yamaha HS5 speakers feature a low-resonance bass reflex enclosure which improves the rigidity of the overall speaker, and less cabinet resonance means that the signal remains clear and uncoloured. This is very important in getting an accurate mix which translates across all systems.
Port noise has also been audibly reduced by up to 6dB using the new Yamaha proprietary technology across the whole HS range of studio monitors, which also helps to deliver a clean and precise signal. The HS-5 is equipped with XLR and TRS jack connectors as well as Room Control and Hi Trim response controls.
The main features of the Yamaha HS5 Active Studio Monitor include:
2-way bass-reflex bi-amplified studio reference monitor
5 inch cone woofer and 1 inch dome high-frequency unit
70 watts dynamic bi-amplified power (LF:45W, HF:25W)
XLR and TRS phone jack inputs accept balanced or unbalanced signals
Level control facilitates precise overall system level matching
ROOM CONTROL, and HIGH TRIM response control switches
This is my third pair of the HS series. I have tried five other makes over the years and the HS series just stand out for me. The build quality is fantastic with a very true and almost flat frequency response which is what is needed when creating and producing music and video content. I can’t recommend these enough. I’ve just changed down from the HS7 to these HS5’s due to a studio refurb and required a slightly smaller monitor.
Usual excellent service from DV247- have not tried the product yet as they are a christmas present BUT you must look at your courier service. The box was left on the door step in heavy rain, someone was at home. it should have not been discarded on the door step without someone being notified especilly in the pouring rain. My only hope is that the speakers in their own boxes within the soggy wet box have not been damaged.
Awesome monitors at a reasonable price point. Can hear every detail and everything that is wrong with my mixes,but now with so much clarity I can atlast put it right 😊 also shipped from Germany to wales in under 48 hrs from ordering.amazing service thank you.
