Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

For compact nearfield monitoring, the black HS4 pair combines powered two-way operation with 4.5-inch cone low-frequency drivers and 1-inch dome tweeters. The rated 60Hz–22kHz response gives you a defined listening range for recording and mix decisions. Room Control handles low-frequency adjustment below 500Hz, while High Trim changes the response above 2kHz. Its XLR/TRS combo, RCA, and stereo mini inputs cover several source types, and front-panel volume and headphone connections are immediately accessible.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Close-range recording and mix sessions on a desktop where a compact powered monitor pair is useful.
  • Hooking up an interface, mixer, computer, or electric instrument through the monitor's available inputs.
  • Making low- and high-frequency adjustments for wall proximity or reflective room surfaces.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Work that requires monitor response below the HS4's rated 60Hz lower limit.
