Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitor

Maybe you were looking at the Yamaha HS8 studio monitor to complete your home setup, but you wouldn’t mind losing a little bit of the low-end response if it means dramatically reducing the size and weight of the speaker. Built with a 5-inch woofer and able to fit into nearly any home system, the Yamaha HS5 studio monitor brings you powerful performance that doesn’t take up the entire desk.

Featuring Yamaha’s latest transducer technology, the HS5 has a 1-inch tweeter that delivers clear and undistorted sound up to 30 kHz. To cover the low end, there’s an 5-inch woofer designed in parallel with the overall enclosure to provide an unblemished and fully booming low end. For one last extra touch, the HS5 boasts a specifically designed bass-reflex port that reduces unwanted vibrations generated from the magnet to the edge of the speaker.

Should you need to adjust the HS5 to better fit your tunes or room, you can head to the back of the monitor and fiddle with the equalization switches. With the High Trim switch altering the high-frequency response and the Room Control switch changing the low-frequency response, you have the ability to alter the output to better fit your room’s acoustics.
