About Yamaha HS5I

You can experience unparalleled sound precision with the HS5I 2-Way Active Bass-Reflex Bi-Amped Powered Studio Monitor. This black, single unit is renowned for its iconic white woofer and signature sound, a testament to Yamaha's commitment to accuracy and quality since the 1970s. The HS5I is not just a studio monitor, but a trusted industry standard, designed to deliver the most honest, precise audio reference possible.

The HS5I is the result of Yamaha's extensive knowledge and expertise, combined with cutting-edge sound technologies. Every aspect of this studio monitor has been meticulously examined and optimized, making it a reliable tool for any recording environment. It's not just about sounding impressive, but about ensuring the sound you hear is true to the original.

This studio monitor features newly developed transducers that deliver a smooth response across a wide range of bandwidths. The advanced magnetic field design ensures seamless, natural sonic transitions. Each component has been carefully selected and optimized to improve the accuracy of signal reproduction throughout the audio spectrum.

The HS5I boasts a highly efficient 1" dome tweeter, designed to extend the usable frequency range and deliver high-resolution sound. The tweeter uses a thick wave guide to minimize vibration, delivering smooth, distortion-free high end up to 30 kHz.

The monitor also features an ultra-responsive 5" cone woofer, designed with large, carefully selected magnets. This ensures low distortion sound with a well-defined bottom end at any output level. The high-performance amplifier unit is perfectly matched to the transducers, ensuring consistently high-resolution sound with an exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum.

The HS5I's enclosure is designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction. Constructed from dense and resilient MDF, the enclosure offers a damped acoustic response, perfect for reference monitors. The traditional three-way mitered-joint technique, borrowed from Yamaha's century-long experience in piano design, enhances the durability of the enclosure and eliminates unwanted resonance.

The HS5I also features cutting-edge noise reduction technology. The speaker port design reduces air vibrations inside the port, cutting down unwanted noise by up to 6dB. This advanced technology allows the HS5I to meet the demands of even the most stringent professional production environments.

The HS5I is equipped with two response controls for detailed settings, allowing it to adapt to the acoustics of rooms of varying shapes and sizes. It can accommodate a wide range of balanced and unbalanced sources, such as mixers, keyboards, and audio interfaces, with XLR and TRS phone jacks. The HS5I 2-Way Active Bass-Reflex Bi-Amped Powered Studio Monitor is a testament to Yamaha's commitment to delivering the best possible mix by ensuring the sound from your speakers is true to the original.
