What inputs do the Yamaha HS4 monitors have?
The left speaker (active unit) features combination XLR/TRS phone jacks, RCA inputs, and a stereo TRS 3.5mm mini jack. The right speaker (passive unit) connects via a speaker cable from the left speaker.
What is the Twisted Flare Port technology?
It is a proprietary Yamaha design for the bass reflex port that reduces air turbulence noise, resulting in clearer and more accurate bass reproduction from the compact cabinet.
Can I adjust the sound for my room?
Yes. The rear panel has Room Control (-2dB, -4dB) and High Trim (+2dB) switches to adjust the low-end and high-frequency response, helping to compensate for placement near walls or challenging room acoustics.
What is the power requirement?
They operate on 100-240V, 50/60 Hz power, with a power consumption of 15W.
Are these monitors bi-amplified?
No, they use a single high-efficiency Class-D amplifier in the active left speaker to power both the woofer and tweeter, as well as the passive right speaker.
What is included in the box?
The package includes the active left speaker, the passive right speaker, necessary connection cables (speaker cable and a power cable), and user documentation.
Are these suitable for connecting to a laptop?
Yes, you can connect directly to a laptop's headphone/output jack using the 3.5mm stereo mini jack input on the left speaker. For better audio quality, connecting via an audio interface using the XLR/TRS inputs is recommended.
