But keep in mind, the Yamaha HS5 is specifically designed for producers and audio engineers, so it won’t be a good choice for DJs anyway. The newly designed bi-amplified drivers and advanced magnetic circuit design have taken this classic to the next level, and Yamaha’s speaker engineering team provide an optimum response in any room or any kind of space. HS Series speakers employ an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized in each model of the series. Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that each HS Series speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum. Low Resonance Enclosure Design Referenzabhöre auf jeden Fall, da die HS Serie mittlerweile fast überall zu finden ist und man sich nicht erst wieder einhören muss.

Well I’m already familiar with the sound of the HS5 as I’ve had a pair in my studio for a while. For this review I took the time to try it out in various other contexts as well. So, let’s take a deep dive into the Yamaha HS5, starting with its look and feel. Zu erstmal sei gesagt, dass die Käufer die sich über den mangelnden Tiefgang der HS5 beschweren -> besser vorab mal die Specs und Produktbeschreibung lesen. Subwoofer gibt's optional :)If I had to describe the overall frequency response in a nutshell, the Yamaha HS5 has very clear mids and highs. Clarity is the word that pops into my mind here. 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. The Yamaha HS5 has a frequency range of 54Hz – 30kHz , which covers both high and low end quite well. However, if you work a lot with bass instruments, having an additional subwoofer for more low-end is a good idea.

The Yamaha HS5 is one of the most popular monitor speakers at this affordable price point, and it has maintained its popularity for a good reason (or really, many good reasons). The Yamaha HS5 Active Studio Monitor is a reference speaker perfect for mixing and monitoring in home studios. The HS5 produces pristine audio perfect for critical recording studio applications and the white speaker cone evokes images of the legendary Yamaha NS10 studio monitors that have graced every major recording studio in the world! The main feature of the Yamaha HS5 is the 5-inch Woofer with the 1-inch bi-amplified tweeter. These are active monitors meaning they have built-in power . Of course if you are experiencing excessive hum and noise with studio monitors, it’s more likely an electrical issue with your studio that can be solved with something like a Furman P-1800 power conditioner.

Tech Specs

Beginning with the legendary NS-10M, and continuing with the MSP and previous HS Series, this new lineup shares a design philosophy that emphasizes sonic purity without any coloring or alternation of the original sound. While many manufacturers seek to enhance the sound of their monitors to make them sound impressive, Yamaha studio monitors are designed to achieve the best possible mix by ensuring that the sound from your speakers is true to the original. HS Series nearfield reference monitors are the embodiment of this philosophy, delivering a concise sound image, high resolution, and flat response.

But the truth is, the Yamaha HS5 does not perform very well below 60 Hz , so don’t expect these monitors to give you a clear picture of this range.It’s ready to be used right out of the box, and the weight is surprisingly light. Measuring 6.7’’ x 11.25’’ x 8.75’’ and coming in at only 11.7 pounds , the Yamaha HS5 is compact enough to fit any sized room from huge studio control rooms to tiny home studio spaces. The Yamaha HS5 is a great “flat” active studio monitor that will give you a very clear and balanced perspective on whatever you are working on.
