Overview
A home producer or mixing engineer gets two self-powered HS5 monitors in black, each with a polypropylene woofer cone and an MDF cabinet. Bi-amplification gives each driver its own circuit.
Accuracy is the reason to choose the HS series, since the design philosophy avoids coloring the original sound. The small woofer limits deep bass, so low-end judgment may need a subwoofer or headphone check.
Who it's for
Written for someone mixing at close range in a small room who needs a reference to trust. Casual music listeners chasing a bigger sound will find a flat response less exciting.
Pros and cons
- Powered, no external amp needed
- Bi-amplified two-way design
- Balanced TRS and XLR inputs
- Flat reference voice
- Small woofer limits deep bass
- Stands and cables not listed
- Wireless claims in specs unclear
Performance notes
Separate amplifiers drive the woofer and tweeter, which lets each driver work in its own range and leaves the midrange clean. The MDF cabinet resists resonance, so the monitor adds little coloration and shows flaws in a mix.
