Product information for YAMAHA HS5 2-Way 70W Bass Reflex Bi-Amplified Studio Monitor (2-Pack)
The YAMAHA HS5 is a 2-way bass-reflex bi-amplified near-field powered studio monitor with stunning accuracy and exceptionally flat response. The HS Series features newly developed transducers that achieve astonishingly smooth responses over a wide range of bandwidth. These transducers utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions. Each component's materials and design were carefully re-examined, then optimized, to drastically improve the accuracy of signal reproduction throughout the audio spectrum.Response ControlsThe YAMAHA HS5 speaker features two response controls with detailed settings that allow it to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shapes and sizes. Room Control allows you to attenuate the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur when speakers are placed next to walls, while High Trim allows for more flexible control of the high-frequency response.TweeterThis studio monitor features a highly-efficient 1-inch dome tweeter that extends the usable frequency range considerably and delivers superb high-resolution sound. Utilizing a thick wave guide designed to minimize vibration the new tweeter can deliver smooth, distortion-free high end up to 30 kHz.WooferWith ultra-responsive woofers that utilize large, carefully selected magnets, this speaker produces low distortion sound with a well-defined bottom end at any output level. All of the components in these high-power woofers, including the woofer ring and the basket, further contribute to the HS Series' stunning bass while providing clear, accurate mids.High-Performance Amp UnitFeaturing a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that the speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with an exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum.Low Resonance Enclosure DesignThe HS Series speaker’s cabinet is designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to its extreme limit. The enclosure is constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors. Drawing from YAMAHA's over 100 years of piano design experience, HS Series engineers also employed a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique.Noise ReductionSpeaker port design can greatly influence the clarity of overall sound. Often a vortex at either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside of the port, causing unwanted noise. By adopting an advanced noise reduction technology that incorporates a thorough analysis of a visual representation of the sound, YAMAHA's engineers can control and reduce the vortex.
