Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process. By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha's speaker engineering team has examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The second generation HS Series also adds a new 6.5\" model to the lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-way bass-reflex bi-amplified nearfield studio monitor with 5\" cone woofer and 1\" dome tweeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e54Hz - 30kHz frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45W LF plus 25W HF bi-amp system for high-performance 70W power amplification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM response controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR and TRS phone jack inputs accept balanced or unbalanced signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSound Philosophy Of HS Series Studio Monitors\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting studio reference monitors for mixing and music production, one consideration takes precedence above all others - accuracy. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNewly Developed Transducers\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HS Series features newly developed transducers that achieve astonishingly smooth response 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDrivers\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HS Series features a newly designed, highly efficient 1\" 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 is able to deliver smooth, distortion-free high end up to 30 kHz. With newly designed, ultra-responsive woofers that utilize large, carefully selected magnets, HS Series monitors produce 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLow Resonance Enclosure Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHS Series cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures are 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. Common to architectural design this construction firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure to dramatically improve durability and eliminate unwanted resonance that can influence overall sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCutting Edge Noise Reduction Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaker 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker Type: 2-way bi-amp powered studio monitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range (-10DB): 54Hz - 30kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLF: 5\" cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHF: 1\" dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover: 2kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Power: 70W (LF:45W, HF:25W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Connections: XLR3-31 type (balanced), PHONE (balanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Consumption: 45W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Bass-reflex type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet Material: MDF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLEVEL control (+4dB\/center click)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHIGH TRIM switch (+\/- 2dB at HF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROOM CONTROL switch (0\/-2\/-4 dB under 500Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight and Dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW: 170mm (6.7\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH: 285mm (11.2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD: 222mm (8.7\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight: 5.3kg (11.7 lbs.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Yamaha\u003cbr\u003eModel: HS5\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I300963-34-WHXC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
