New TMP. Fender FR or Studio monitors?
I like using TMP in stereo. A pair of Yamaha HS5’s would be great, or a pair of FR10’s if you want amps. The larger in speaker size you go, the more low end will be perceivable and accurate to what’s actually happening on the TMP. Make sure you set the TMP outputs to Line when using studio monitors

Why do people say Yamaha HS5 (or the entire HS series) is uncomfortable to listen to?
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

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

What studio monitors do you recommend these days? I’m looking to buy a new pair of studio monitors
Yamaha hs5 or hs8 with the hs8s subwoofer. Sounds so good and clear with as much bass as necessary. Highly recommended. Bass ports at back of speakers so you need some room behind them. Important depending on the side of your room

Monitoring speakers/amp for Casio
I use HS5, Yamaha powered speakers. Some people use the HS8 because they are larger, but for piano (which doesn't have really deep bass) I think the HS5 are fine. Unless of course you want to fill a room with sound. They are built very well, the cabinets being very thick and don't resonate. I put th

Home Studio Set Up - Advice
Audio Interface is simply a device that lets you convert Analog audio to Digital audio and vice versa. It takes analog audio in (from a microphone, or line level source) and converts it to digital so your computer can record it in a DAW like Reaper. Then it converts it back - digital audio playback

Setup
Opa! Só um detalhe técnico: a Yamaha HS5 também é ativa! O setup atual tá rodando com o Toca-Discos -> Pré Valvulado (Fosi Box X4) →>Interface PreSonus -> Caixas.O resultado sonoro ficou animal. O som ta bem mais aveludado e o pré tá entregando um grave muito gostosinho e presente, tudo bem equilibr

Studio Summary from a hobbiest
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

I'm 90% there, what else can I get dialed in
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

Fender fr cabs
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
