- HOW TO MAKE YAMAHA HS5 STUDIO MONITORS SOUND INCREDIBLE!!!
Although the Yamaha Hs5 Studio monitors are incredible budget studio monitors they do come with some issues, from native hiss, ground looping issues, lack of bass tones. My goal in this video was to show you guys some tips I learned when I set my new speakers up, hopefully this video will help you if you plan to buy a pair of yamaha studio monitors in 2023.

Tried the "Loudness Equalization" setting. What it does is it makes quiet sounds louder to match the loudest sounds, like a compressor. If you're looking for accurate sounding audio, it's best to have that off.
Ah that's a really good shout thank you I will be sure to turn this off ASAP thanks
Yes it's kinda like a compressor
how can i turn it off?
How do I turn it off?

My dude, you really need a DAC. Consider looking at a DAC / Pre amp stack. Schiit Audio Magni / Modi stack will make a night and day difference! Worked wonders for me
If you are getting sound in the monitors it's best to get a power conditioner and plug the speakers into that it will remove the noise
Awesome advice
about the noise issues: make sure you ground correctly your gear, it is not as simple as it seems and you are too close from the monitors, this close you'll hear hiss from way more expensive stuff also.
That first sound is a ground loop issue solved with an ifi defender. Next, id suggest getting a professional power strip with individual channels to plug everything into etc. All that hiss, cpu noise, ground loop junk stopped immediately with those two things. 🙏🙏🔥🔥🤌🤌💪💪
Yeah, these are great, and just on another level when you add the Yamaha HS subwoofer
Yeah I was thinking I may have to add the sub at some point
Your sound quality on your computer doesn't come just from the interface you use, but also the sound card. Sound Blaster make some very good sound cards (signal to noise = 105 dB) from $60-$120 that also have software to help with your interface and recordings and even playback.
You can get the HS8S. This is the fitting Subwoofer for it. On the Subwoofer you can do an Lowcut so the HS5/7/8 will no longer play low frequencies. So the cone can fully concente on the mids and it will sound more clean.
Hey 👋🏼
Yeah I'm looking into buying the Hs8s very soon thank you so much for the comment it really helped
i did that and omg it opened up the sound so much!! my monitors still have a very very low hiss though
@@Itsyunlo What do you mean by "Hiss" Do you have Balanced Cables?
Use Fluid ds5 or 1 inch Soundrise dome would be the best for those
❤ thanks for the vid, just about to purchase these in a few days... cheers from 🇨🇭 Switzerland 🙏🏼 god bless & keep it up
Thanks for watching, I'm in Switzerland in a few weeks time 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏻
@@CharlieHunt hey nice! If u need a Tourguide, let me know 👍🏼💯 greets from Zürich 🍀
Never had a hiss or other problem with HS5 even with unbalanced guitar cables. But I'm using a laptop not desktop.
What kind of cables and interface are you using? Are they balanced or unbalanced?
Like I showed in the video I am using balanced trs to xlr, I now believe I may have a circuit issue with my analogue mixer so may have to transfer to a digital interface hopefully that eliminates my ground sound .
so helpfull thanx you
You're welcome!
The hiss and creaky sound has little to do with shielding the signal honestly. Most of the times it is the result of computer parts being improperly grounded, and, in some cases, not being grounded to a grounded outlet.
I made an addition in grounding my GPU and motherboard compared to what is ordinarily achieved with standard mounting by soldering a wire to a ring and put one of those teethed rings under it, so it would dig into the motherboard's grounding layer well.
This wire had a Y-split to another ring that in the same way goes to my videocard and is screwed against the PCB of that as well, so that I'm not relying on grounding the GPU through the PCI-E slot backplate to the case, and from the case to the power supply (I am fairly sure this voids warranty on the GPU though).
The end of this wire also had a ring soldered to it and went to a part on my power supply that I intentionally damaged (to get rid of the insulating powder coating) just like I partially scuffed up the casing, and screwed this ring between the power supply and case, and most of my problems where gone from that point on.
I think that most of the problems in grounding stem from the fact that in order for a ground to properly work, it needs to be solidly connect, and not rely on multiple screw and case-to-case connections that are just metal on metal. It's why you see business-model computers equipped with at least 1, and sometimes 2 deliberate grounding connections between the motherboard and a crimped on part on the case, or towards the powersupply.
Little word of warning: XLR is not balanced per se. XLR can be unbalanced, just like a TRS plug can be balanced or unbalanced.
you were totally right, ive fixed my issues now and they were gpu related!!
@@CharlieHunt How did you fixed?
@@CharlieHunt I bought Eris 4.5 last week and that shit is hissing like snake. I send back and now I bought HS5, I hope I never have the same problem again, It was very annoying.
Do you have any advice other than balanced cable to avoid this problem?
@@VoicerKaanget an audio interface not an audio mixer then get balanced cables unless you wanna spend on power conditioners which are more expensive than the suggestions above
thank you! I make music under "Deansy" and built a home studio in Florida
what's the song playing at 12:00 ?
Hi! = ) Any idea howto shield the monitors from Radio signals?? My hs7 takes up so much radio signals... its like 3 differents sounds only on electric cabel to the monitor! Cant work with them right now because of this! tried to tape the ground just to see if it was ground loop issue but no difference. Will it help with aluminum silver tape inside all over? or what? Im desperate! Thanks!
I just want you to know that I’m making the exact same upgrade from the 3.5s to the hs5s bro what a coincidence
I'm really happy with the upgrade, at first theirs things to get used to but I'm settled in on them now and really enjoying what I can get out of them, I hope you enjoy them too
did these come with stands?
In the box you only get the speaker the manual and power cable no stands
what size are your speakers? I notice there are 5", 6.5", 8"
5"
do you know about the JBL 305P MkII 5-inch Powered Studio Monitor compared to these?
I actually tried a pair of jbl 5 inch recently but prefer the sound out of the yamaha
remove the limiter circuit. youtube it, i did it to my hs7s and it was night and day. People go through more component changes which is abit too high tech for me but yeah if you can use a soldering iron properly id suggest it for anyone that wants to use these speakers long term.
Hi = ) Did you just remove the 5 transistors?
@@andersw2274 Yeah exactly and then repaded foam inside, do one speaker and hear the difference and then do the other later. Its like night and day difference to clarity and response. Wish yamaha would of made that limiter circuit switchable.
How can I actually improve the bass frequencies of these monitors though?
Only choice is to add a sub, contrary to common beliefs though it can be any studio quality sub like a presonus one to save money
I checked the playback options and my enhancements are missing. I use Scarlet 2i2, my driver is updated so I don't know why it's missing.
He's opening the properties of his video monitor. That's where the enhancement settings are. Which is kind of confusing. Idk why that would change anything with the speakers
I dont think your correct on the shielding, the 1 band means mono and the 2 bands mean stereo, that's it, nothing more it does not indicate if the wire is shielded. I'm not going to put a stereo lead into a mono input.
Nope nobodies right or wrong here, the bands indicate a few things but the positioning is most important yes a stereo cable will have a dual band on a jack lead and so will a balanced cable. This may help you understand www.google.com/amp/s/www.boxcast.com/blog/balanced-vs.-unbalanced-audio-whats-the-difference%3fhs_amp=true 👍🏼
While a balanced signal and a stereo signal are not the same thing, both principles use three-wire cables and plugs with three contact points. The big difference is that a balanced cable has an earth, a plus and a minus, while a stereo cable has an earth, stereo left and stereo right
What you are calling 2 bands is a TRS cable they carry three different signals . Right/Negative , Left/Posive and the ground signal .
Recently just got my HS7's and they have that same issue even when using balanced TRS 1/4" to male XLR cables to my Mackie ProFX6v3. I've checked my connection with the Belkin Power Strip Surge Protector and it says it grounded but I'm not really sure what else to do but return them. Maybe it has something to do with the USB hub I'm using for my interface but it's a Belkin usb hub so I'm not sure what's happening.
I did all the same checks and now my hiss went, turns out my pc output sound card was outputting audio -12db lower than industry standard meaning I'd pump the game, I started to notice it when I connected an xbox to them the xbox was clean and loud, I switched from my analogue mixer iver to a digital one and instant hiss disappeared lol 😆 guess we can't be dinosaurs anymore lol
@@CharlieHunt So are you saying a digital interface would work better? Also I have a MacBook Pro so I'm not sure if this correlates but in my sound settings the output is set to the highest so I'm just gonna buy some magnetically shielded monitors instead.
the onboard realtek sound you use is very worse in hiss. also such speakers should be tweeter at ear high the possition you have i guess all speakers sound same worse. tilting up speaker do only work a little better if you tilt the head down much that you look on table.
Please refer to updated video pinned at the top of comments
@@CharlieHunt there is no videolink in the pinned comment . I guess you mean the comment from gavinendsley . have you not try speakers at ear height and notice that sound much better ?
it's called floor noise
Or noise floor, but it wasn't noise floor btw turns out it was a interference issue I covered it in a video update. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂
i also noticed it on my 8s with nothing plugged into it so it must be the internal amplifier @@CharlieHunt
You will not calibrate the sound correctly... trust me
your speakers are quality its just you hearing too much internal amp noise because you've placed your speakers too close to you. level your speakers to your ears and position them 40 to 50 inches or more away from you in a triangular mix pattern by getting dedicated speaker stands, and the rest is history. it will improve your mix too you will hear frequencies better and also avoid ear damage, health is wealth.
Nah, I also experienced the hiss, creaky/squeaky stuff. It's most of the times improper grounding of computer parts, because of how these tend to rely on grounding by metal-on-metal connections, instead of proper "shortest-path, direct connection" types of grounding.
This was the issue in the end. They're silent now. I guess I need to give up on building custom pc's loool
@@CharlieHunt lol
@@CharlieHunt you can still build custom pcs but just store it inside a treated shell made out of wood and acoustic foam, maybe add an extra fan inside for more ventilation and you good,
