Ysm5 Compact Powered Studio Reference Monitor Review

I was looking for a compact stereo speaker/subwoofer combination as a reference/mixdown monitor for my project studio. The Cyber Acoustics CA-3908 perfectly fills the bill! Easy setup with a unique control pod that takes little space - headphone and aux jacks on the pod are a nice touch. The sound is AMAZING - brilliant highs, balanced mid-frequencies, and a VERY responsive sub-woofer make for an outstanding listening experience! For desktop and laptop computers, this is a no-brainer; in fact, if you watch movies on your computer, this system will make soundtracks REALLY come to life! An excellent choice for my studio - thanks, B&H! HIGHLY recommended!!

I use this monitor to reference live feed from the video switcher in my school news studio.  The monitor is bright, crisp, and has onboard tools that are very helpful.  The histogram allows me to dial in iris settings for each camera on the fly.  The metal exterior is pretty darn nice for a sub $500 monitor.  Lilliput provides nice added goodies such as a camera adapter, and sunshade.  The monitor is boxed very nicely.... reminiscent of unboxing an Apple product.  While some may complain that it is only 500 brightness, this is more that sufficient for studio use.  I am buying more shortly to provide studio staff additional live views.

we use these to connect our Video Projector to our powered studio monitors

Havent shot yet but its exactly what I need. A compact but high powered travel SLR.

Great when you need a long, flexible replacement cord. I used mine for a powered monitor.

Use it with a small onboard monitor, powered off an onboard camera batt.

Been cross shopping studio reference headphones for A WHILE, finally decided on the ATH-M50x and couldn't be happier for the price. B&H had best price on the internet and shipping was legit lightning fast. Highly recommend both!

Wonderful pair of headphones. Great flat response, I use them for a quick reference away from my studio monitors.

I am an illustrator, and the better my reference the better the finished piece. I bought this light to use in my studio and I absolutely love the results that I have gotten from this light. I think that this piece is extremely user friendly and I have bragged about the results to many of my fellows artists. I will definitely buy more from Tota for my lighting needs.

Works nice with Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitors
