The HS5 is a 5" 2-way bass-reflex near field reference monitor with a high performance 70W onboard amplifier.

This design makes set up placement and portability concerns a thing of the past.

Since it takes more power to produce accurate bass, the HS5 was designed with a bi-amp system that directs more power to the low-frequency driver.

You'll notice the benefits in lower distortion, more accurate bass and midrange, and less chance of speaker damage.

Don't worry, you won't miss any of Yamaha's signature high end, the HS5s will simply sound more natural than any monitors in their class.All rooms are not created equal.

To compensate for differences in geometry and surface material, the HS5 can in effect be tuned to the room.

A room control feature combats exaggerated bass response that occurs when speakers are placed close to a wall or near a corner.

While high TRIM can help tame high frequencies in a room with too many hard surfaces.
