Yamaha Hs5 Active Studio Monitor

Fits my Yamaha HS5's perfectly.

Bought new Yamaha HS5's for my edit bay and wanted to point them up a little towards my ears. These pads were the perfect fix - both in budget and in practical use. For only $$a pair, I'm going to buy another set for my home edit system, too.

I needed an audio interface to connect my iMac with my Yamaha HS5 monitors. I don't record into my computer and primarily needed a good audio set up to edit video. I also didn't want to pay for an audio interface that offered unnecessary features, just wanted something to wire my iMac audio out to monitors. After digging around I found the Peavy USB-P, and it's exactly what I needed. It connects to my iMac vis USB and then sends the audio signal out to my Yamaha HS5's via XLR cables. It sounds great! No hum or buzz. My only wish is that the USB connector and the XLR outputs were on the same side of the device, so I didn't have cables coming out of both side.

I'm no audio expert but coming from KRK Rockit 5 G2 to these Yamaha HS5. The Yamaha's deliver superior sound clarity...

Used to provide input to an 8 sub from an editing system with a couple of Yamaha HS5 speakers. Very easy to set up, excellent adjustment range. The sub is not as high quality as the HS5s, but it fills in the missing low end well. The controls on the SX95 work better than the ones on the sub.

The interface worked great, I have it connected to two Yamaha hs5's using TS cables and it's fantastic. There is noise but it's only when it's out at full volume. The dial is clean and looks great on my desk. Fantastic interface! Definitely interested in looking into new ones my m audio.

I use them to lay my Yamaha HS5 monitors on my desk. They are just the right size, right angle, solid material. The rubber layer makes them not slippery. Excellent product!

I needed a monitor controller for my studio for two pairs of speakers and a couple of inputs. As much as some of the functionality of active monitor controllers appeals to me, the sound quality is first and foremost. And we all know that unless you spend $3k - $10k most active systems severely color your sound - a little more than my current budget. I wasn't sure what to expect with this affordable passive controller however, after spending a few weeks with it I can say without a doubt that it is a great addition to my studio. I hear no coloration or change to the stereo sound field. The Mute, Dim, and Mono sum functions are really handy. And the build quality feels good under your hand. My only complaint is that it would be nice if the knob travel was detented for repeatable levels. Two Big Thumbs Up!

If you need a passive near field studio monitor a little like Yamaha NS10s but with a nicer sound these are your babies! They have low distortion and a really nice high end and not harsh but also retain a very workable low end which makes mixing a breeze. I use them everyday as a mixer in Los Angeles.

I replaced my active monitors with the ELAC speakers and a Yamaha integrated amplifier. Since the ELAC has coaxial arrangement of tweeter + midrange, I felt it would work fine for near field listening. I'm very happy with the result. With nothing playing, the combination of amp with passive speakers has no background hiss. My old monitors had audible hiss and non-defeatable auto-shutoff unless the playback was kept sufficiently loud. I'm using an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the Yamaha amp. I chose ELAC's Satin White with Oak Sides to escape the all-black look of my old monitors.
