Yamaha Studio HS10W

When selecting reference monitors for mixing and producing music, precision is the most important criterion. Speakers that sound "good" at first impression are not necessarily precise. You don't need a monitor with altered or colored sound that gives you a completely misleading impression.

What you really need instead is an honest reference for your mix. The new HS series reference monitors have been designed by Yamaha's development team to provide exceptionally linear, uncolored reproduction that you can rely on. Unlike monitor speakers with exaggerated bass and treble that may create a good first impression but are not reliable in terms of precision, the HS series studio monitors are designed as true studio reference monitors, following in the tradition of the legendary Yamaha NS10M.

Whether for stereo or 5.1 surround, mixes that sound good on Yamaha's HS series reference monitors will translate accurately to the widest variety of playback systems, which, in the language of audio engineers, means they will sound good everywhere. And that is ultimately the goal of any reference monitor. It should also be noted that the HS series monitors not only sound good but also look good.
