Yamaha HS4 Active 4.5″ 2-Way Studio Monitors

Ever since the 1970s, the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha’s nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason—their accuracy. Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies, which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process.

By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha’s speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business.

The HS4 continues the design philosophy and know-how of previous Yamaha studio monitors. No effort has been spared in the pursuit of the optimal product, and the resulting speakers are comprised of carefully selected parts such as a high-performance Class-D amp, highly resilient MDF cabinets, and woofers and soft dome tweeters that deliver a sound that is faithful to the source despite their small size.

They also feature proprietary Twisted Flare Port technology that reduces air turbulence noise in the bass reflex port, providing clear and accurate bass. That’s the secret to why the HS4 delivers outstanding resolution, sound image, and depth, with a flat response across all bandwidths without any coloring of the original sound.
