Yamaha HS5 studio monitor for studio work and home recording
The Yamaha HS5 is an active studio monitor with a 5 inch woofer rated at 45 watts and a 1 inch tweeter rated at 25 watts. Together they deliver 70 watts of bi-amp power, with low and high frequencies driven separately. In practice, that gives you a controlled response for mixing, producing and critical listening in a compact setup.
The bass reflex system supports the low end, while the 54 Hz to 30 kHz frequency range lets you hear detail across a wide spectrum. With dimensions of 170 x 285 x 222 mm and a weight of 5.3 kg, this Yamaha monitor fits easily into a home studio, edit room or smaller production setup.
Connections and adjustment on the Yamaha HS5
You can connect the Yamaha HS5 through a balanced XLR input or a balanced 6.3 mm jack input. Balanced connections help reduce signal interference, which is useful when working with audio interfaces, mixers and other studio equipment.
The input level is adjustable, so you can match the monitor to your source. You also get Room Control and High-Trim tone control to adapt the response to the room and the high frequencies. The Yamaha HS5 is supplied per piece.
