Legacy Series - YSM5
The Yorkville YSM5 is the most compact studio monitor in the YSM series, making it perfect for small listening spaces and desktop studios. Unmatched clarity, precise reproduction and surprisingly punchy bottom end response for a monitor in this class, the YSM5 uses a solid ¾-inch MDF cabinet and baffle to reduce rumble and cabinet self-interference. The front facing port design solves the issue of bass coupling with back walls and corners in small environments which can generate false low-frequency information in your mix.

- Contoured MDF baffle engineered to minimize front face reflections
- Front facing port design eliminates bass coupling with back walls and corners in imperfect listening environments

- Biamplified Power Module (40 watts woofer / 15 watts tweeter)
- Custom designed soft dome tweeter
- High quality low frequency 5-inch woofer
- Rock-solid 3/4-inch MDF cabinet construction

Overview
Compatible with virtually any source, Yorkville YSM5 has a widely variable input trim control making it compatible with any source including direct connection to a soundcard, or connection to a professional console control room output. Four position high frequency trim controls (at -2, -1, 0 and +1.5dB) allow user adjustable EQ contour to compensate for speaker placement in less than perfect listening spaces.
