The Yamaha HS5I Black 2-Way Bi-Amplified Powered Studio Monitor is a top - notch audio device. The HS Series comes with newly developed transducers. These transducers have an advanced magnetic field design, which offers a smooth response across a wide bandwidth and seamless, natural sonic transitions. Every component is carefully re - examined and optimized for accurate signal reproduction throughout the audio spectrum. The enclosures are made of dense and resilient MDF, with a damped acoustic response ideal for reference monitors. Using Yamaha's 100 - year - long piano design experience, a three - way mitered - joint technique is applied to improve durability and reduce unwanted resonance. Key features include a black finish, a 2 - way bass - reflex bi - amplified nearfield studio monitor with a 5' cone woofer and 1' dome tweeter. It has a frequency response of 54Hz - 30kHz (-10dB) and 74Hz - 24kHz (-3dB), a 70W power amplification system (45W LF + 25W HF), ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM response controls, XLR and TRS phone jack inputs for balanced or unbalanced signals, mounting points on 4 surfaces, and single packaging. Technical specs show it's a 2 - way bi - amp powered studio monitor with a 2kHz crossover, -10 dBu/10k ohms input sensitivity, and various I/O connectors. It has a power consumption of 45W, a bass - reflex shape, MDF cabinet material, and comes with an owner's manual, power cord, and screws for brackets. Options include wall/ceiling brackets.
Using your Yamaha HS5I studio monitor is easy. First, find a stable surface for it. Connect the power cord to a suitable power outlet and turn on the power using the switch. You'll see a white LED indicating it's on. For audio input, you can use either the XLR or TRS phone jack depending on your source. Adjust the LEVEL control to set the overall volume. The ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM switches allow you to fine - tune the sound according to your room's acoustics and your audio preferences. When it comes to maintenance, keep the monitor in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth. If you're not using it for a long time, unplug the power cord. Also, make sure to follow the instructions in the owner's manual for any further details.
