Yorkville Sounds YSM SERIES II Powered Studio Monitors are engineered to deliver the uncompromising clarity your mixes demand. Designed with project and professional studios in mind, the YSM5-2 has been developed to be the best sounding monitor in its class.

The YSM5-2 features 1-inch black-silk diaphragm neodymium dome tweeters. These tweeters blend seamlessly into the specially designed low diffraction wave guide which is integrated into the front baffle. The wave guide edges perfectly couple the tweeter with the woofer, reducing sonic anomalies normally created by their proximity. The fibre reinforced composite cone woofers have also been designed to perform with sonic excellence, providing a wide dynamic range at all levels. Integrated DSP is utilized to deliver transparent signal processing and bi-amplification has been optimized for each driver. The woofer and tweeter have been perfectly time aligned to eliminate any phase irregularities usually associated with 2-way designs.

Features
• 5-inch low frequency driver; 1-inch silk dome tweeter
• Balanced XLR and 1/4- inch TRS inputs
• Unbalanced RCA input
• High and low frequency adjust controls
• Built in HF and LF limiters
• Volume control

J'utilise les enceintes Yorkville YSM5 principalement pour écouter de la musique et regarder des vidéos sur YouTube, et elles ont largement dépassé mes attentes. La qualité sonore est excellente, avec des aigus clairs et des basses étonnamment puissantes pour leur taille. L'installation est simple et rapide. J’apprécie particulièrement les réglages des fréquences hautes et basses à l’arrière, qui offrent une bonne flexibilité pour ajuster le son en fonction de la pièce ou de vos préférences personnelles. Avec une puissance de 50 watts, ces enceintes sont largement suffisantes pour une pièce ou un studio de petite à moyenne taille. Que ce soit pour une écoute détendue ou un travail audio, le volume et la clarté sont au rendez-vous. Le seul inconvénient est que l’interrupteur d’alimentation se trouve à l’arrière de l’enceinte, ce qui peut être un peu gênant selon la configuration. Un interrupteur à l’avant ou sur le côté aurait été plus pratique. Dans l’ensemble, les YSM5 offrent un excellent rapport qualité-prix : un son remarquable, une construction solide et des options de réglage utiles.

I've been using the Yorkville YSM5 speakers primarily for listening to music and watching YouTube, and they've exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is excellent, with clear highs and surprisingly strong bass for their size. Setup was quick and straightforward. I particularly appreciate the high and low frequency adjustment controls on the back—they give you more flexibility to fine-tune the sound to your room or personal preference. At 50 watts, the speakers are more than powerful enough for a small to medium-sized room or studio. Whether you're casually listening or working on audio, the volume and clarity hold up well. The only downside is that the power switch and volume are located on the back of the speaker, which can be a bit inconvenient depending on your setup. A front or side-mounted switch would have been more user-friendly. Overall, the YSM5s are a great value—excellent sound, solid build quality, and useful tone-shaping options.

I owned a pair of KRK Rokit 5's Gen2 and in my opinion these leave the KRK's in the dust with a much more defined imaging and less volume needed to work with = less fatigue. I am comparing apples to apples with the same system right down to the cables and speaker stands

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
