High-quality compact speakers for uncompromising creation
HS series speakers are the reference for studio monitors. Sound specialists and artists around the world have trusted them for many years. Yamaha has redefined their essence in a compact enclosure. The HS4 system is a powerful tool for creating a wide range of audio content – from music production to video editing – and meets the expectations of creative artists who have limited space but do not want to compromise on quality.
Sound that is always faithful to the original
HS4 studio monitors embody Yamaha's legacy of design excellence. No detail has been overlooked. Inside are carefully selected components such as a high-performance Class D amplifier, a highly durable MDF cabinet, as well as a woofer and a soft dome tweeter that produce pure, source-accurate sound – despite their small size. The result is exceptional resolution, sound imaging, and depth with a flat response across all bandwidths.
Optimal sound adapted to your environment
The sound produced by speakers can sometimes be affected by the environment.
The rear panel of the HS4 is equipped with Room Control and High Trim functions that allow you to make adjustments to achieve the ideal sound in any environment, such as reducing unnecessary and exaggerated low frequencies that can often occur when speakers are placed near a wall.
Inputs and controls suitable for all uses
The rear panel of the HS4 features XLR-TRS combo, RCA, and stereo mini connectors, allowing you to connect to a wide range of equipment such as computers, audio interfaces, audio mixers, and instruments. The most frequently used elements – power button, volume knob, and headphone connector – are located on the front for easy access.
Compact and portable product
The compact size of the HS4 system was made possible by the highly efficient Class D amplifier. Using a single amplifier for both speakers allowed us to reduce the weight of the speakers and simplify cable connections. They take up little space and are easy to take on the road.
