Yamaha MSP5 Studio replaces and upgrades the popular MSP5A active studio monitor. Yamaha MSP5 Studio is a powerful nearfield monitor, which utilizes a two-way, or bi-amplified, design coupled to a bass reflex system. The result enables MSP-5 Studio to deliver outstanding monitoring precision from a monitor speaker with an extremely compact footprint. Yamaha MSP5 Studio is an ideal choice for smaller project studios, DAW based production systems and even multimedia applications.
Yamaha MSP5 Studio features a 5 inch cone woofer driven by a 40-watt amplifier and a 1 inch dome tweeter driven by a 27-watt amplifier. Other than woofer size, enclosure size, and amplifier power, the MSP5 Studio takes advantage of the same advanced materials and design technology that are behind the extraordinary performance of the MSP7. The woofer and titanium-dome tweeter feature advanced magnetic structures that achieve exceptionally low distortion, and the tweeter works with a unique waveguide horn that achieves broad, uniform high frequency dispersion over 120 degrees for optimum balance regardless of listening position. Advanced driver and enclosure design including the low-diffraction rounded baffle also ensure smooth, uniform dispersion across the systems full reproduction range. Flat frequency response out to 40 kHz makes the MSP5 Studio great for mastering, where high sample and bit rates are the norm.
Along with their compact size and excellent performance, full magnetic shielding allows the Yamaha MSP5 Studio speakers to be positioned near all types of audio, video, and computer equipment without sound degradation or negative effects on surrounding equipment.
MSP5 Studio has a balanced XLR type input for direct compatibility with professional equipment. Balanced lines are ideal if the speakers are to be placed at the end of long cable runs which, if unbalanced, might be susceptible to hum and induced noise. MSP5 Studio also offers an unbalanced 1/4" phone jack connector. Yamaha MSP5 Studio is equipped with four position low and three position high trim switches that allow the systems response to be optimized for a wide range of acoustic environments.
