Yamaha HS4 4.5-Inch Powered Studio Monitors
The Yamaha HS4 is a pair of compact 2-way powered studio monitors with a 4.5-inch woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter. It brings the accurate, uncoloured sound of Yamaha's HS series to desks where a full-size monitor will not fit, reaching down to 60 Hz (-10 dB).
It is made for home studios, music producers, video editors, podcasters and content creators who work in small rooms and often at low volume. The pair connects to audio interfaces, mixers, computers and keyboards with professional or consumer cables.
Key Features
True-to-Source Sound in a Compact Cabinet
Yamaha built the HS4 around a class-D amplifier, a resilient MDF cabinet, a 4.5-inch cone woofer and a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter. The goal is the HS family's flat, honest response, so what you hear on your desk translates to headphones, car stereos and other speakers.
Twisted Flare Port for Cleaner Bass
Yamaha's Twisted Flare Port reduces air turbulence noise in the bass-reflex port. The result is clearer, more accurate low end from a small speaker, which helps you judge kick drums and bass lines properly at low listening levels.
ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM on the HS4
Rear-panel switches let you cut the low end by 2 or 4 dB below 500 Hz and adjust the highs by +/-2 dB above 2 kHz. Use ROOM CONTROL to tame boomy bass when the speakers sit close to a wall, and HIGH TRIM to suit a bright or dull room.
Inputs for Interfaces, Mixers and Laptops
Balanced combo XLR/TRS inputs connect audio interfaces and mixers, while RCA and 3.5 mm stereo mini inputs take laptops, phones and keyboards directly. A stereo mini to RCA cable is included, so you can start listening without buying extra leads.
Front Volume and Headphone Jack
The most-used controls sit on the front of the left speaker: a volume knob and a headphone output. You can turn down for late-night sessions or switch to headphones without reaching behind the speakers.
One Amplifier, Two Speakers
The left speaker houses the amplifier and powers the passive right speaker through the supplied 2.5 m speaker cable. That keeps the right speaker lighter and means only one power cable on your desk.

Frequently Asked Questions
HS4 or HS3: which should I choose?
The HS4 has a larger 4.5-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter, reaches lower (60 Hz vs 70 Hz at -10 dB) and plays slightly louder (102 vs 100 dB SPL). The HS3 is smaller and lighter for very tight desks.
How does the HS4 compare with the HS5?
The HS5 is a larger bi-amplified monitor with a 5-inch woofer, 70 W per speaker and balanced XLR/TRS inputs only. The HS4 adds RCA and stereo mini inputs, a front volume knob and headphone jack, making it easier to use with a laptop.
What is in the box?
You get both speakers, a 1.5 m stereo mini to RCA cable, a 2.5 m speaker cable, anti-slip pads, the Quick Start Guide and the Safety Guide.
Can I connect it directly to my laptop or phone?
Yes. Use the 3.5 mm stereo mini input or the RCA inputs, and the supplied stereo mini to RCA cable. For recording work, an audio interface on the balanced combo inputs gives the cleanest signal.
Which colours are available?
Yamaha makes the HS4 in black and white. Choose your colour in the options above.
