Classic, brutally honest, and still one of the most trusted reference monitors ever made. This matched pair of Yamaha NS-10M Studio monitors is the highly desirable Studio version specifically designed for professional mixing and studio use.

Both speakers are in very good condition overall, showing normal cosmetic wear from studio use and age, but they have been tested and are working perfectly. If you’ve been looking for a proper pair of NS-10s for mixing, production, or building out a serious studio setup, these are the version most engineers prefer.

Unlike the original NS-10M, the Studio version was designed to be used horizontally (though they can still be positioned vertically if preferred). Yamaha also made several meaningful improvements over the earlier model:

• Binding post connectors
• Nominal/program power increased to 60W (original NS-10M was 25W)
• Maximum power handling increased to 120W
• Extended bass response down to 60Hz (original was rated to 85Hz)
• Improved tweeter design that eliminated the need for the famous “tissue paper” mod
• Revised crossover network with more emphasis on the mid-bass driver
• Sturdier overall construction
• No grills or grill mounting holes for a cleaner studio-oriented design

These monitors became a studio standard for a reason. If a mix sounds right on NS-10s, it usually translates everywhere else. Great for recording studios, home studios, or anyone wanting an iconic set of reference monitors with real history behind them.
