Product description
The white-coned monitor that became a studio default: a 5-inch cone and 1-inch dome, bi-amped with 45 W and 25 W of their own, crossing at 2 kHz for 54 Hz–30 kHz (74 Hz–24 kHz at −3 dB). Balanced XLR and TRS only — no unbalanced input, no processing — with room control and high trim switches on the back to tame a desk or a corner. Rear-ported MDF cabinet. Sold individually, in black or white. An HS5I variant adds M5 mounting points on four surfaces for brackets; it is otherwise the same speaker to the millimetre, 0.2 kg heavier.
