The HS-series goes portable
Thanks to their incredibly compact form-factor and light weight, the HS4 bring the same balanced and full sound that Yamaha's beloved studio monitor range have become known for to desktop setups, home studios, and portable productions. With only one amplified speaker cutting the weight of the pair down to almost that of a single HS5 speaker, these studio monitors are configurable and usable for any space without compromising on sound quality.
Broad connectivity
Suitable for home recording musicians, DJs, producers, audio engineers, touring bands, broadcast mixers, and even just for casual listening, gaming, and parties, the HS4 are equipped with connectivity for all occasions. Its stereo minijack input allows for direct connectivity with smartphones, tablets, or laptops, great for editing, party entertainment, software-based DJing, or beatmaking. Its RCA input allows for connectivity with turntables and DJ equipment, whilst its dual combo XLR/TRS inputs allow for instant setup with audio interfaces, mixers, and recorders. No matter what your setup and why, these monitors are equipped to work with it.
Balanced sound, but smaller
Offering the same sound profile as the rest of Yamaha's HS-series, these monitors deliver a detailed and full sound that competes with its contemporaries and stays consistent and will be familiar to anybody who's heard the rest of the series. Thanks to their high-quality 4.5-inch woofers, 1-inch tweeters, and a flared rear port to enhance bass without distortion, the HS4's punch way above their size.
