The Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor in black is a bi-amplified monitor with precise sound reproduction technology. It has a 5-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter with a waveguide that can create frequencies up to 30kHz, and it has a total output power of up to 70W. The HS5 may be integrated into a number of studio configurations thanks to its XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs, which both accept balanced or unbalanced signals.

The HS Series cabinets are made to minimise undesired resonance and push the boundaries of sound reproduction accuracy. The inclosures have a damped acoustic response and are made of dense MDF. Additionally, the HS Series engineers used the conventional three-way mitered-joint method. Common to architectural design, this construction firmly anchors the edges of the inclosure to improve longevity and avoid undesired resonance that might influence total sound.

The clarity of the overall sound can be significantly impacted by speaker port design. Frequently, a vortex at either end of the port can cause noise-generating air vibrations inside the port. Yamaha's engineers are able to manage and decrease the vortex by using noise reduction technology that involves an examination of a visual depiction of the sound. Yamaha has developed a port design that decreases noise by up to 6dB as a result of this investigation.

The two response controls on the HS Series full-range models enable them to adjust to the surface acoustics of rooms with various shapes and sizes. When speakers are placed close to walls, an artificial, accentuated low-end can frequently result. Room control lets you reduce this effect, while high trim gives you more control over the high frequency response. A variety of balanced and unbalanced sources, including mixers, keyboards, and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone connectors, can be plugged into HS full-range speakers as inputs.
