The Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitors Today's major facilities still rely on YamahaÍs historically famous nearfield studio monitor, the celebrated but now discontinued NS-10. It has always remained the epitome of the term ñindustry standard.î They were seen, heard and photographed in thousands of world-class studios. Noted for their brutally honest sound reproduction and unflattering response, these ever-popular monitor speakers are still sought after to this day in spite of the fact that theyÍve been discontinued. The old saying went, ñIf it sounds good on the NS-10s, itÍll sound good on anything.î
A 2-Way Amp for a 2-Way Monitor Yamaha designed the HS series monitors with a special 2-way speaker set. A new woofer and tweeter, each powered by their own dedicated amps, giving the NS10-tradition of flat response that means that your mixes will have their deficiencies revealed so you can make accurate decisions throughout your mixing process. But, unlike the NS-10, the white polypropylene cone woofer and a newly-designed 1" dome tweeter have an extended range much more in-line with the demands of todayÍs low-end content in many styles of todayÍs popular music. As analog meets digital, your vocals, keyboards and guitar solos can keep their natural place in the mix as they always have, while your sub-bass and ultra-highs get their chances to shine as well. This will enable your final mixes to translate accurately and honestly to the outside world...ultimately what the NS-10's were famous for.
100 Years of Solid Sound-Friendly Cabinet Design The monitor's enclosure is constructed of high-quality MDF material and a multiple layer finish that minimizes resonance. This is where Yamaha's century of experience in making pianos comes in handy, giving you a cabinet that properly handles the frequencies that pass through it. Even the corners have a special 3-way mitered corner design that provides strength and unity. The white woofer cone recalls the look of the classic Yamaha NS-10, adding low-damping rubber surrounds and full magnetic shielding so using them near your computer monitor screen won't be an issue. Around the back youÍll find both XLR and _î connections along with room control/frequency response switches that will tailor the speakerÍs frequency output to your particular working environment. Very handy for less than perfect room dimensions.
With its famous heritage, full-range yet accurate sound reproduction and devastatingly handsome looks, the Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor is worthy of your musical masterpieces. Simply put, it ROCKS!
