Yamaha HS5 Matched Pair Active Studio Monitors Black

In 2019 Yamaha marked the fiftieth year of the PA division, and had the idea of producing a special model of the HS series that would feature even greater attention by Yamaha engineers. The HS series embodies the design philosophy on which Yamaha has long insisted for its studio monitors, and is now available as a special paired model that uses selected volume parts. The paired model series bears the designation of MP (Matched Pair), and MP stickers are affixed to the back of each unit. Manufactured at the same time, and with paired serial numbers, the “HS MP models” is offered by Yamaha as a special fiftieth anniversary commemorative model. We are confident that this special pair of stereo monitor speakers will play a valued role in your recording, mixing, and mastering work.

Design principles maintained and perfected

As its studio monitor design principles, Yamaha has always insisted on complete fidelity to the original sound and the ability to reproduce the subtle changes of tone and position in the mix, and these principles are exemplified in the HS series that appeared in 2005 with its bright white cones. As high-bit and high-sampling-rate continue as trends in the field of music production, leading to an increasing need for high-quality nearfield monitors, these speakers deliver the high-quality sound and accuracy that are ideal for the studio environment. In 2013, fusing the know-how and cutting-edge analysis technology that we have developed through many years of studio monitor design, and carefully rethinking every element, we announced the next-generation HS series which adds yet more polish to the accuracy of these speakers.
