HS5

Yes. But the HS5 does have a boost around 1khz. Which compared to a speaker (or headphone) which has a more neutral mid-range response could make them seem a bit shouty. And they're a little bit too flat. People tend to perceive speakers (even studio monitors) that have a little bit of tilt in the f

They are the best i've heard under 600, definitely a little bit more balanced than something like a yamaha hs5 which tends to emphasize the mids a little bit more. I have a subwoofer as well but it's just for the really low end, the speakers have a surprising amount of low end

Yamaha HS5’s are within budget and a nice sounding set of monitors. If he wants to later on, he could also add the matching Yamaha sub to them for more bass. I use their bigger brothers l, the HS8. Whilst neither the HS8 or HS5 is truly a ‘reference’ speaker (a speaker with a very flat response curv

UPDATE: the Nautilus has arrived and it’s a BEAST! As u/Amazing-Structure954 mentioned, I have had no issues getting the audio from the iPad to pass through the keyboard and out of the main speakers!!! The speakers are Yamaha HS5 and they sound great - a subwoofer would be a nice addition but not a

Inline eq would be the easiest and cheapest option. Bypass button is a must so you can swap back to flat without changing all your settings every time. The Yamaha tweeter is intentionally bright for mixing (producing not djing). It's meant to help you catch all the little details you might miss othe

Hi, the Yamahas are very nice, but I would agree that the HS5's lack some bass. I bought that model mostly because of a) budget and b) small size of the room. On the most part I am happy with them. Someone else responded to provide some thoughts on using bigger ones and I have subsequently done some

The IK micro monitors are specifically designed for being that small. All the other monitors that small or the 3" ones are complete junk. If you're going to buy something other than the IK micro monitors, don't buy anything under 5". You'll regret it later. I've already it twice and regretted it. Th

First, put both speakers in the exact same spot and feed the same balanced line. On the LP-6 V2, set the rear gain around 0 dB and make sure the input selector DIP is on XLR/TRS, not RCA. On the HS5, turn the level all the way up for this test; the center detent on many HS models is attenuated, so i

Yamaha HS5 should be enough to hear changes that you do inside a daw. Must be some other reason, too quiet/ too loud, monitors are not at ear level, setup badly etc. try getting some good headphones, like Sennheiser HD480s (what i use now) and see how you get on. Apart the very low bass, the differe

I started with Yamaha HS5’s which were great for a long time until I really needed to mix and found I couldn’t hear the low end. I eventually upgraded to HS8’s and enjoy them quite a bit as they actually produce the low end and don’t need to be cranked to hear it. FAR less trips to my car to check m
