Yamaha HS5I Active Studio Monitor, Black

Full Description

Highly efficient transducers

The HS5I studio monitors feature newly developed transducers that achieve incredibly smooth responses over a wide frequency range. The highly efficient 1-inch dome tweeter further extends the usable frequency range while the 5-inch cone utilises high-quality magnets to deliver well-defined low frequencies at any output level, with exceptionally low distortion.

Flexible mounting options

The HSI series of monitors are perfectly suited for many situations. Not just the studio environment. The flexible mounting system fitted to the back of monitor means it can be attached to a wall and faced in any direction. This is ideal if you’re running a restaurant or bar or just need an easy to install audio solution for any context. The pliable bracket system along with the high-end Room Control means you can always get the best sound field regardless of the environment.

Low resonance enclosure design

The bass-reflex enclosure is constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that's perfectly suited for reference monitors. Drawing from over 100 years of piano design experience, Yamaha's HSI series engineers also utilised a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to architectural design, this construction method firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure and ensures superior durability while also helping to eliminate unwanted resonance that can influence overall sound.

Optimisation controls and versatile connectivity

All HSI series full-range monitors feature two response controls with detailed settings, allowing you to adapt the monitor's performance depending on the surface acoustics of your own studio or production room. Room Control is ideal for attenuating the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur when speakers are placed next to walls, while High Trim provides flexible control of high-frequency responses. With XLR and TRS input connections, the HSI studio monitors can accommodate a wide range of both balanced and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards, audio interfaces and more.
