The Industry Standard for Accurate Monitoring, Ready for Installation: Yamaha HS5I White
Ever since the 1970s, the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha's nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for one simple reason: their accuracy. The HS5I brings this legendary performance to installation environments, featuring mounting points for flexible placement in studios, broadcast facilities, and commercial spaces. It’s designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process.
The HS5I is a 2-way bass-reflex, bi-amplified nearfield studio monitor with a 5" cone woofer and a 1" dome tweeter. This high-performance system is driven by a 70W bi-amp system, delivering a powerful and flat response from 54Hz up to 30kHz. The newly developed transducers achieve an astonishingly smooth response over a wide bandwidth, while the advanced magnetic field design provides seamless, natural sonic transitions.
What sets the HS5I apart is its flexible mounting options. With mounting points on 4 surfaces, it is compatible with a variety of optional wall, ceiling, and baton brackets. This, combined with the ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM response controls, allows you to optimize the monitor's performance for any acoustic space, ensuring your mix translates accurately everywhere.
