Experience transparent, room-tailored monitoring with the Yamaha HS5 5" studio monitor pair and IK Multimedia ARC Studio Advanced Room Correction System—the ideal sonic reference for mixing and mastering in any space. These compact yet powerful bi-amplified nearfield monitors deliver Yamaha's signature honest, accurate sound reproduction. While the ARC software optimizes their performance to overcome acoustic anomalies in your room.

Precision Monitoring With Bi-Amplified Design

The Yamaha HS5 monitors employ a bi-amplified design with separate amps powering the low and high frequencies. This eliminates crossover interference, allowing the 5" cone woofer and 1" dome tweeter to operate with maximum clarity and control. You'll experience tight, articulate bass response along with shimmering highs that let you discern the finest details in your mixes. The bi-amp configuration works in tandem with Yamaha's advanced magnetic circuitry to provide exceptionally smooth, natural frequency reproduction over a wide range.

Advanced Room Correction

Every room has its own acoustic quirks that can color your monitoring environment—but the ARC Studio helps restore neutrality. The included software guides you through quick room measurements, analyzing how your space shapes the frequency response and stereo imaging. It then computes a custom correction profile, tuning the HS5 monitors to overcome your room's deficiencies. You'll hear a truer representation of your mix, enabling more confident adjustments.

Audition Mixes on Various Speaker Systems

The ARC Studio's X-MONITOR feature further enhances your versatility by letting you emulate over 20 different monitor speakers and headphone models. Hear exactly how your mix will translate to other systems—from hi-fi speakers to car audio—without access to those physical setups. It's like having a roomful of reference monitors at your command, allowing you to make fully informed mixing decisions.

Streamlined Monitoring for any Studio Space

With their compact size and pro-grade components, the Yamaha HS5 monitors are ideal for gaming, home recording and even mobile studio setups. Their built-in amplification and versatile positioning options make them easy to integrate into any space. Combined with the ARC Studio's correction capabilities and Livewire Advantage ASR interconnect cables, you have a full-featured, portable monitoring solution that always delivers stellar, room-optimized sound.
