All of my recording buddies raved about these being the monitors to have in my home studio. I put it off for years because I just couldn't believe they could be that much different than other monitors ... WRONG! I hear everything like I should... EVERYTHING! The hype is legit, won't sleep on Yamaha ever again.

I use a pair of HS5 in my home studio (Electric/Acoustic Guitar player) , and they sound outstanding at high and low volume. Connectivity and setup its very easy. The size its perfect for my studio; the look and feel its just awesome.

Because precision and accuracy are paramount in the world of audio production, the Yamaha HS5 5" 70W Powered Two-Way Studio Monitor is designed to deliver an honest, uncolored sound that serves as a reliable reference during the mixing process. This professional-grade studio monitor, with its iconic white woofer, is a testament to Yamaha's commitment to sound purity and quality.
The HS5 features a 2-way bass-reflex bi-amplified design, with a 5" cone woofer and 1" dome tweeter, ensuring a balanced and clear sound across a wide frequency range of 54Hz - 30kHz. The 70W power amplification is achieved through a 45W LF plus 25W HF bi-amp system, offering high-performance sound that is both powerful and precise.
The HS5 studio monitor is equipped with ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM response controls, allowing you to adapt the sound to the acoustics of your room. The XLR and TRS phone jack inputs accept both balanced and unbalanced signals, providing flexibility for a variety of audio sources.
The HS5's newly developed transducers deliver smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth, thanks to an advanced magnetic field design. The 1" dome tweeter, designed for high efficiency, extends the usable frequency range and delivers high-resolution sound. The ultra-responsive woofer, with its large, carefully selected magnets, produces low distortion sound with a well-defined bottom end at any output level.
The HS5's enclosure is constructed from dense and resilient MDF, designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase sound reproduction accuracy. Drawing from Yamaha's extensive piano design experience, the enclosure employs a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique, enhancing durability and reducing unwanted resonance.
The HS5 also features cutting-edge noise reduction technology, with a speaker port design that reduces audible noise up to 6dB. This, along with the monitor's detailed response controls and versatile connectivity options, makes the Yamaha HS5 5" 70W Powered Two-Way Studio Monitor an ideal choice for professional recording and mixing in both home and professional studio environments.
