## Description

Powered Studio Monitor.

Review: fabulous sounding monitors - I am not a professional musician but I am setting up the best possible recording studio in my den, and these monitors are perfect for my application. I use them as recording monitors as well as mixing, and they are extremely accurate for this price. They don't hide anything and show me exactly well I am playing (or not, mostly) and the tone the amp is producing. They can get unbelievably loud which isn't really the point, and are configurable for room effects. On a subjective note, they sound like a million bucks, just beautiful. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.
Review: Well, I certainly don't have any real complaints. - THESE. ARE. SO. RAD. ( I got the HS7's FYI ). I reference any other speakers off of the pair of Bowers and WIlkins 684 floorstanders that I have. Keep in mind that these cost half the price of those and I am just as impressed, all things considered. While these don't produce as "big" of a sound and can't pump out as much volume due their much smaller size, they sound just as pristine to my ears. Now, don't get me wrong, these can fill a bedroom sized room with plenty of sound to satisfy a reasonable listener. Especially if they are placed within a few feet of your ears as I believe they are intended to be placed. That is where they sound best. I have mine about 3 feet from each ear and it is good. When I first fired these up they sounded a little bright or maybe even harsh on higher treble end. Either I got used to that or they broke in nicely, because they sound just right now after about a hundred hours of use at low to medium volume. At lower volume they tend to lack a little bottom end, and at very high volume the clarity suffers and things start getting a little distorted and muddy. At medium to medium-high volume is where these really shine. If you're using these as studio monitors as they are intended to be used, this volume range is where you'd want to be listening anyways, for various reasons. For one, you don't want to listen at loud volumes for long periods because it will fatigue your ears to the point that listening is longer pleasurable and probably not as objective as is necessary. Also you can damage your ears. You only get one set of ears. Once they're messed up, that's it. I already have some ringing in my ears from my younger days and wish I could go back and do those rock concerts over with ear plugs. Another reason is that if you mix with your speakers at high volume, it won't translate well to anyone who ever listens to what you're mixing at lower volumes. So if your sounds are ever going to be played anywhere besides a dance club, this is a legit reason. So that's that. Right there in the middle of the volume range these puppies are capable of very nice sounding audio. I've heard other people wonder about these as an option general music listening speakers, like you would with a good set of hifi speakers. On top of using them as studio monitors, I use them for this purpose too. I like listening to all of the music I listen to on them. If you aren't the kind of person that feels like Beats by Dre are the greatest sounding audio experience ever on the face of all of the universe, I'd bet you'll enjoy these. These will not blast your eardrums will ungodly amounts of bass and treble very loudly like Beats do. They will, however, show you a crystal clear image of what your music really sounds like. And if it' good music, it'll probably sound very good on these. Also, on top of of all this, they look great, and the finish on the exterior is pretty durable too. I dropped a hammer or something rather on top of one of them and it didn't even leave a mark. TLDR; I love them and highly recommend them is what this all boils down to If you can fit these in you budget, do it. Really one of the more satisfying purchases I've made. There may be better out there, but not at this price. //end rant.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much easier will it be to mix with a pair of these over cheaper monitors (M-Audio BX5) considering a really crappy mixing room environment?**
A: Yamaha will have a better frequency response than the M-Audio's!  But like Chad said below..... you could have the best reference monitors in the world, but if you're in a square room with NO treatment on your flat surfaces and NO bass traps in your corners..... you're just going to have a mess of frequencies bouncing around and canceling each other out and phasing and boomies, you get those more from running a boom mic for film/video and most of that comes from the handling of the boom pole and the mic cable slapping against the pole! But an untreated flat room with a ton of reverb drowning everything out will make you pull your hair out because you'll never be able to get a good mix!!  I would focus on getting control of your room first and if you have $700 to treat your room, then you have way more than enough, depending on the size of your room!?

**Q: A lot of people seem to be using these next to a monitor or tv.  are they even shielded?!?!?  i'd rather not degauss my new 4k tv...**
A: What? This is not early 90's device. Have them 5cm of my 27" monitor, notebook, usb hub, wireless keyboard, external sound card ... Never seen any interference.

**Q: Do these speakers turn on and off automatically?**
A: No. That is the last thing you would want to happen in a studio environment, for which these speakers are designed.

**Q: I plan on using these for my turntables with mix vinyl/use serato. i'm using a behringerddm4000 mixer. are xlr cables the best way to set these up?**
A: Yes. Any balanced cable will do whether that's XLR or TRS 1/4" cables.
