The Yamaha HS4 shrinks the HS Series monitoring standard into a desktop footprint, pairing a 4.5-inch cone woofer with a 1-inch dome tweeter in a 2-way bass-reflex cabinet. Each cabinet gets its own 26 W of amplification, so the pair delivers 26 W + 26 W across a 60 Hz to 22 kHz frequency response (-10 dB) — enough reach for mixing, video editing, and reference listening without the desk real estate a 7-inch monitor demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the Yamaha HS4 monitors need a separate amplifier?

No. The HS4 are powered monitors with built-in amplification rated at 26 W + 26 W, so you connect a source directly via XLR/TRS, RCA, or stereo mini.

Is this listing for one speaker or a pair?

A pair. Yamaha lists packaging as Pair for the HS4 W, and the box includes a stereo mini-to-RCA cable, speaker cable, and anti-slip pads.

How low do the HS4 go without a subwoofer?

Frequency response is 60 Hz to 22 kHz at -10 dB from the 4.5-inch cone woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter. Bass below 60 Hz calls for a subwoofer.

Can I connect a turntable, audio interface, and laptop to the HS4?

Yes. The HS4 has XLR/TRS phone combo, RCA, and stereo mini inputs. A turntable still needs a phono preamp ahead of the RCA input.

How do buyers rate the Yamaha HS4?

The HS4 W pair holds a 4.7 out of 5 star rating from 2,339 reviewers, with the HS Series reputation among engineers and producers behind it.
