What customers say about "Key Specs"
Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor (Pair)
- You do not need an amplifier as these babies are active monitors and plug in.
- I love these loudspeakers, the sound is clean and the top toner is really moving out of the speakers.
- I have a home voice over set up and needed a solid set of reference monitors.
- Now yes the woofer is only 5 inches and won't have the same big boom as an 8 inch of course but for a 5 inch woofer i can tell you that they do indeed have a very good amount of bass for sure.
- I'm patching though the line out because these are powered monitors

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor (Pair)
- Great sound quality in a small package. Connected to my setup in about 5 minutes, using a pair of trs cables.
- You can hear every single little detail, and they're loud as hell for their small size.
- They're very true to sound and even though they're the smallest of the series, they deliver everything we need for the demos we're doing before we head into the studio.
- The size is perfect for my bed-room style studio setup, and the quality of sound is awesome.
- Great monitors. I was worried they would be too small for my needs, but turns out, they have more than enough power and are crystal clear.

What customers say about "Audio"
Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor (Pair)
- These speakers effectively allow you to hear everything as intended without colouring or deliberately exaggerating some frequencies.
- I am hearing my music in a whole new way having bought these.
- I recommend a set of these with a cheap mixer without reservation. Yamaha have done such a good job here and all my music sounds so much better for this set up.
- Overall the clarity of all the components of sounds with all settings on flat is such a pleasure to hear.
- I really like the tone of these. A flat response with a very pro monitor mid range ie tone.

What customers say about "Features"
Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor (Pair)
- They have XLR and TRS inputs (balanced or unbalanced), and are 70W.
- If you want to rock out with them, you can equalize and turn the volume up.
- You can also adjust Room Control and High Trim, they're actually quite handy.
- I have these hooked up to a Technics 1200 turntable going through a Teac AG-790 receiver.
- I have them connected to my computer (via a split XLR) and a Zoom R24 Recorder (via TRS).
