All user reviews of 5/5 for the Yamaha HS50M

What motivated my choice, first price, then it is to replace bouzes I had before, the Alesis Active Mone, I was intrigued by the comparison made with some NS10M, I listened store, I thought, and then I told myself that anyway, I would have to the bottom when she would be at home, in the sound environment of my piece ...
I use them to compose, create my beats, mixes of controlling when I come home from the studio.
Bcp are smaller than they appear, it's the size of a pair of 1029A or a pair of MSP3.
The HS80M were too powerful for my part that makes 12M2, so I selected the ones.

SOUNDS

For me, neutrality is one of its greatest assets, as soon as the lights, we understand that we do not and the monitoring has a pair of high quality stereo speakers.
The stereo image is very correct, precise sound throughout the spectrum and what characterizes them is that it lets through some dynamic defects, if a drum kit does not ring, it will be ridiculous in it, it pushed me to raise my level of requirement, and it is rather very positive.
The big question is low because given the size of Boomer, there's something to ask where they could get out!
In fact they are well, and clean in addition, they are just more feeble in volume than in reality, that's my opinion, but the definition is the ...
What I love most is going to listen to my sounds on anything after work with on the 1030A taf, or stereo, every time I hallucinate the result, it sounds really good and j 'I was not that famous disappointment of the second listening ...
Another strong point, they are not at all tiring ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

It's been three weeks that I used is a little short to post a comment, but I lapped well at the beginning and since I bump above 5 or 6 hours a day ...
The low is a little lack of bass for me, I think a pair of intermediate pregnant between HS50M and HS80M would have been perfect, but ...
I Tafer on a lot of speakers, the Alesis Mone active and passive, active and passive Tannoy Reveal, Mackie HR824, Dynaudio Acoustics, Samson Resolv, Yamaha NS10M, MSP5, the JBL4311, Genelec 1029A, 1030A, 1037A, brief ...
Considering the price, this is a very good buy I think, they correspond to the use I made, I reposterais if I was reviewing my opinion.
PS: Attention to their room placement is important!

This is especially good echoes that influ my choice (and of course price.)
I compose and because of the small prod. Home studio!


SONORITS

It's okay in the spectrum, set out in the bass. This is prcis everything else. A little dry all the same.

Same dynamics.

Stro good when we found a good investment.

NOTICE GLOBAL

It is my opinion one of the best pair of monitor in this price range.
A very high precision at the top of the spectrum.
The rglages EQ are welcome.

They lack a little box, the acquisition of the sub should sublimate.

Very good report quality / price.

Use home studio.
I needed a listening supplmentaire.

SONORITS

These speakers have me pleasantly surprises. It took me back to ask them on foot, and more than 50cm from the wall. Without a, c'tait cracra.

At first, we directly noticed the lack of serious, surprising, and somewhat harsh treble. After you baiss acute -2 dB, the sound is more homogeneous. Low mdiums are a bit cardboard, but remain prcis the superiors mdium are impeccable. The strong point.

The bass tend to saturate at the rear wind soon as you push too much. That said, they are not made to work well.
Despite the rglage "control room" (a little rude), they do not like the proximity of the wall. (dropoff Window

NOTICE GLOBAL

These speakers are worth my taste, much the price (300eur pair). I compare my Focal CMS, and they are well dfendent.
They must turn the thunder with the sub. Certainly a bit expensive.

What characteristics have motivated your choice? For what purpose? What amp / What configuration? ... *dropoff Window

Connected in control room of my mixing desk, I was looking to make a pair ds submixes / mixes my maquettes.Le price (Purchased 130 euros more than the unit honnet).

SOUNDS

Is the frequency curve sufficiently neutral? Is good stereo? The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum? Is the dynamics are respected? ... *dropoff Window

Curve correct frequency, positioned no problem, 130 euros the walls I repeat and I must say that the rapprort value is unbeatable. At first listen I was shocked, what accuracies, it is neutral, sometimes even too, the defects of my old mixes have immediately been put forward, unbelievable acute low medium medium very correct sound perfect, purists say that the curve is not neutral and blah blah blah, 130 euros the pregnant! It's good cam, buy without hesitate to working bounce / mixing .Sauf that as in other opinions ca aU fishing bass level, there is no or too little, two solutions, working low to the mix feeling and listen to his mix of listening on multiple systems and rework the mix, I personally work on several system for listening and I verfie my bass on headphones hd 437 plublic great, I have never had too much problem (I'm hip hop pretty little striped bass or already included in the samples so no problem) after that is a matter of habit. Overall these ptites yam it's very good I put 9, it is neutral, it is flat (too?), Sometimes aggressive treble. Very good monitors for the mix by level against production or compo I can not! just too flat does not motivate me, they do their job bouncing point bar and do very well.

NOTICE GLOBAL

How long have you use it? What thing do you like most and least? Have you tried many other models before buying it? How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice? ... *dropoff Window

Yes like everyone else I ecouté other models: KRK RP6, BX5 and prodipe pro 5, the premieres have not convinced me at the price ... the others ... The yam is the best ratio value almost cheaper looking good (pair EUR 220 m for audio, 240 and 260 the prodipe the yam and frankly there is no photos), I boss on dx 4 songs and I mix the yam among a pot my mixes sound pretty good, it has the krk rp 6.

I was looking for a pair of speakers too huge and it is managed, it reminds me of my NS10, the've also taken because my roland ds90a were become too powerful for places rather reduced or I am right now so notice amateur because resell 300euros !!!

SONORITS

The frquence curve is sufficiently neutral? Everything, really great! again its compactness and what fills me also fishing for small speakers !!!


NOTICE GLOBAL

since aujourd'hui'hui that I have but damn I'm happy! most as said above its compactness that they also remind me of my NS10, they seem very sturdy too. have had NS10, roland ds90a, krk, jbl, etc clear that I would do the same choice without any hesitations!

I needed a good studio monitor to fit on a smaller desk. My main studio is limited in space and I was careful to find smaller monitors that would still deliver a perfect sound. I went to a local music store and a trusted salesman told me I won't find better than the 50M. They had the newer HS 5 in stock too but they still had a few HS 50Ms in stock as well and he said go with that.

I use them for mixing, monitoring and mastering my music.

SOUNDS

The stereo image is great. I have two set at the same angle, an equal distance from my chair. Every little detail in my music comes out so clearly that I can't help but notice tiny things that I would never hear in normal speakers.

For example, I was mixing a project for a client and he had forgotten to adjust his mic pre-amp gain before recording vocals. He was unable to get another recording to me, so I ran it through an analog mixer to boost the volume a bit. Of course, this caused a bit of background fuzz to appear. After getting rid of as much fuzz as I could, I finished the track and sent it to the client. I explained to him that he may hear fuzz throughout the track and he responded that he couldn't! I listened in many other speakers and couldn't hear it, it only appeared with the honest response of the HS 50Ms.



OVERALL OPINION

I love how detailed the speaker's response is. I especially like that I can listen to the smallest changes I make in effects plugins and tell the difference.

If you can find these for around $200, they are very much worth it. If you are spending more you may compare them to some more expensive monitors, but otherwise I'd say you can't go wrong.

If something were to happen to my speakers, I would try to replace them with the 50Ms all over again. They are very nice and give you an honest perspective on the sounds you've recorded.

the size / power ratio
live in the studio

SOUNDS

a highly regarded sound but for comfort the HS10W is strongly recommended

OVERALL OPINION

whether in the studio, these dirty little terraces and small monitor is a very pleasant sound.
In a dirty 150 seats they do not run out of steam by the sharp sound of a piano accompanied by a low (4 + 2 HS50M HS10W).
a clear his present without being aggressive.
careful when using live no error is allowed, and yes the studio gear is traitor.

Known for having a very good quality in acute medium. Used for mastering.

SOUNDS

Everything is good!

OVERALL OPINION

Used for a few weeks.

An old pair of Yamaha 2000s ..

I like everything except: damage that lack protection in front, like this: http://www.keymusic.com/gfx_productcode/XL/104382/2/HK-Audio-Premium-PRO-12A.jpg

For low indeed is missing but be aware they are not done! There's still enough especially when you are less than one meter, but provide a better subwoofer / subwoofer ..

Report / Q / P very good!

Choice again.

When I was in need of a small footprint monitor system for my home studio I needed to blend my space restrictions with a solution that would provide a decent real world transition. After much research, I decided upon the Yamaha HS50M monitors. Each offer 70 watts of biamplified power feeding a 5" woofer and a 3/4" tweeter. Made from a MDF enclosure that is rear ported and shielded they are at home close to your display. There are both XLR and RTS inputs available with a level control on the rear. These monitors also offer four room control switches that tailor the sound.

SOUNDS

The HS50M monitors offer a high quality stereo image when used in a near field-monitoring situation. Putting a good mix together in regards to performance placement is easy when using these monitors. I also find that dynamics translate rather well on these small monitors. When testing them using a reference source such as a classical orchestra or an old Pink Floyd disk all the subtle nuances are instantly recognized. These speakers offer flat and honest sound reproduction. Once tuned to your specific room you will get reliable sound from them that translate well to real world sources. The four switches on the rear panel control mid eq (+-2 db @ 2 kHz), room control (0,-2,-4 db shelf @ 500 Hz), high trim (+-2 db shelf @ 3 kHz), and low cut (flat, 80 Hz, 100 Hz) to tailor for use with a 2.1 or 5.1 system that uses a sub woofer. This makes these little wonders movable from area to area if need be and still offer a valid mix environment. They have a standard frequency response of 55 Hz-20 kHz.

OVERALL OPINION

I previewed many models from different manufacturers in different stores before arriving at the decision that no other pair could match the HS50M in terms of honest reproduction. Every other brand in this size and price group (under $500) had some issue with coloring of the sound somewhere in the spectrum. I found these to be the most precise for mixing and mastering in my small home studio environment. While $400 is a modest amount of money, these are used extensively in my home and remain in perfect working condition. Definitely, worth every penny they cost. I believe my favorite aspect is they work well in a low volume setting saving the ears offering the prospect of longer sessions. If one were to go down, I would not hesitate to replace it and when I am affronted, the luxury of more space in a more volume friendly area I will most likely find myself investing in the HS80M.

Price.

I using in home studio with an m-audio profire card 610

SOUNDS

Is pregnant are very accurate at midrange and acute
By lack much against his bottom, cut it to 58 hz ...

This gives a pretty good dynamic range and a clear and precise.

OVERALL OPINION

its going to be 4 years now that I used,
Yes I tested several speakers, as Mackie, adams, Yamaha HS80.

Most:

-Accuracy
The price-
-Clarity
-Neutral
-Dynamic

Cons:

Low-.....


I listen to several speakers and most have a much more low, the sound muffled and really is no such clarity.

I think getting pregnant are very good, for voice, piano ect ...
But if you do electro, I think it must be coupled with a sub, I count myself to buy a Prodipe 10s

These are Active Studio monitors that can be used for home or in a major studio setting. But I recommend using them at home. I have them going through my maudio interface running with my pc. For some reason any time I use these I get a clean mix. Even a better mix than I get when using the krk 8’s. They have a flat sound that doesn’t over due anything. Most the time when you get monitors there are something that isn’t accurate either the low the hi’s or the mids. Everything with the HS50M’s seem to be flat and accurate. I have compared these to so many different monitors its crazy. I have come to the conclusion for the price range for a pair of these you wont find a better set on the market. Or atleast you couldn’t up untill about a year or so ago. There may be something better for the price on the market now but im not sure.


SOUNDS

If you are looking for a clean sound then these are the way to go. Yamaha has provided us with so many great products over the years . They have also had some that have went bad for me but not these. The HS50M’s continue to work great and cause no problems when using them in any size room and at any level they give a great sound. crisp hi’s and clean low’s and a mid section to balance it all out and give an overall great sound.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, these are some of the only pairs in this price range that I will recommend doing a master in . You can get a great master in these like you could with a set of 2,000 dollar monitors. I have done mixes in these and in some really expensive monitors in a major studio and you cant tell the difference. The only thing that was really different is the low end thumped a little more overall when I was using this to master. But I do like my music fuller and thicker so they fit me perfectly.

Chosen for: price range, rendering nearfield volume and correct, precise, serious not too accentuated.
XLR out on alesis IO26

SOUNDS

Sufis neutral, respected and not too serious "modern" (that is not mackie let alone Genelec!)
Good dynamic but must not expect too much either for the price, excellent stereo image.

OVERALL OPINION

Use since July, perfect for listening to music and composition in the medium volume (apart anyway).
I was fortunate to work in the studio with Genelec, KRK and Mackie's, Yamaha NS10 and the old.

Genelec is good but need to listen very hard if you want the bass does not vomit.
Mackie I found it rough especially in the lower medium.
KRK not bad but you have to push a little depending on the model, more than the HS50M for "equivalence" qualitative.
Yamaha (the HS50) really clean without pushing the medium volume: the serious acute through the mediums.
Another plus: the frequency corrections to the rear speakers, very nice to "adapt" to his tastes and pieces.

I have a pair of Tannoy in the living room to listen to music, they are 11 years old but still functional. I thought they were a little better defined at the top of the spectrum, but less neutral on the bottom that these small yamaha!

With 300 euros, the size of my room and close: perfect!
Ideal power: if I change my home I will look that gives the HS80M!

Go there if you are still unsure it's really a smart purchase.
(Ps: I work not among yamaha huh!)
