Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor

HS
Series cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and
increase the
accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures
are constructed from
a dense MDF with a damped acoustic response. HS Series engineers also
employed a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to
architectural design, this construction firmly anchors the corners of
the enclosure to improve durability and eliminate unwanted resonance
that can influence overall sound

Speaker
port design can greatly influence the clarity of overall sound. Often a
vortex at the either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside
of the port, causing unwanted noise. By adopting a noise reduction
technology that incorporates an analysis of
a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha’s engineers are able to
control and reduce the vortex. Through this analysis Yamaha has arrived
at a port design that reduces noise up to 6dB

HS
Series full-range models feature two response controls with settings
that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying
shape and size. ROOM CONTROL allows you to
attenuate the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur when
speakers are placed
next to walls, while HIGH TRIM allows for more flexible control of high
frequency response.
For inputs, HS full-range speakers can accommodate a range of balanced
and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces
with XLR and TRS phone jacks
