Yamaha HS 5 Matched Pair

How Woodbrass rates it

LIMITED EDITION

Description

Essential Information About Yamaha HS5 « MP » Matched Pair Studio Monitors

  • Factory-matched pair for a more stable stereo image and enhanced tonal consistency
  • 70 W bi-amplification (45 W woofer + 25 W tweeter) for precise and controlled response
  • ?Room Control? and ?High Trim? settings to tailor the curve to your acoustics
  • Balanced XLR and 6.3 mm jack inputs for easy integration in professional environments

An « MP » Edition That Celebrates Heritage and Enhances Accuracy

Following the legacy of Yamaha?s renowned nearfield monitors, this HS5 « MP » edition is manufactured in coordinated pairs, with matching serial numbers and dedicated volume management components. The goal: to ensure tighter tolerances between the left and right speakers, resulting in nearly identical frequency responses. The « Matched Pair » series was introduced to commemorate a fiftieth anniversary and provide a ready-to-use stereo solution, ideal for critical monitoring.

Who Is It For? Home Studios, Creators, and Demanding Sound Engineers

Compact and linear, the HS5 MP are suited for close mixing spaces, editing booths, music production stations, and sound design. Their neutral reproduction highlights the details of vocals, synths, and transients, enabling reliable decisions during recording, mixing, and pre-mastering?even in untreated rooms.

Features Designed for Nearfield Monitoring

Compared to a standard pair purchased individually, the « MP » version ensures optimized stereo matching straight out of the box. This translates into more precise source localization within the panorama, a solid phantom center, and better repeatability of mixing decisions.

Room Adaptation Settings

The ?Room Control? and ?High Trim? switches help reduce excessive bass energy near walls and adjust the treble according to your equipment and listening position, while maintaining the HS series? neutral signature.

Acoustic Design and Amplification

The 5-inch long-throw woofer operates in a bass-reflex enclosure to extend the response down to 54 Hz, while the 1-inch tweeter handles the high frequencies up to 30 kHz. The dedicated 70 W bi-amplification delivers dynamic range and control, with excellent channel separation to minimize distortion and preserve micro-details.

Professional Connectivity

Balanced XLR and 6.3 mm jack inputs ensure clean connection to your audio interface, mixer, or controller, and the adjustable input level facilitates gain staging in any setup.

I use these speakers to sound a personal setup (guitar, synth, drum machine, bass, looper). These speakers are exactly what I was looking for, not too bulky, with a good response across all frequencies (I feared weak bass, but it seems very good to me). They are well made and offer very good value for money. I therefore recommend these speakers to anyone who wants good sound without spending too much!

The reference for starting well in MAO. I was able to compare with my Presonus ERIS E4.5 BT and the sound is overall more detailed, even in the bass.

Great to use, there is really a world of difference between "normal" speakers and this one, I do not regret my purchase.

Very good studio monitor pack. A reference in this price range. Only downside: they are heavy for 5' (+ 5 kg each).
