Our take on the Yamaha MS101-4 Powered Monitor Speaker

The Yamaha MS101-4 is a compact powered full-range monitor with a 4-inch driver, a 30 W amplifier and a bass-reflex cabinet. It reaches up to 115 dB SPL peak, so it stays clear in noisy rooms, and its front-mounted controls and two-band EQ make quick adjustments easy. It suits desktop studios, keyboardists, podcasters and small PA setups that need a portable speaker. Against larger studio monitors it gives up deep bass and stereo imaging, but it is tougher and more flexible than most desktop speakers, with mic-stand mounting and optional bracket support.

Questions and answers

Is the MS101-4 loud enough for a small room or noisy space?
Yes. Yamaha rates it at up to 115 dB SPL peak at 1 meter, which is enough for a noisy classroom or a small performance space. It stays clean at low levels too, thanks to its wide dynamic range.
Does it work on a microphone stand?
Yes. The enclosure mounts directly on Euro microphone stands, and Yamaha offers optional brackets for other mounting setups.
What is the frequency response?
Yamaha rates the range at 77 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB). The 4-inch driver handles the full range, so expect limited deep bass.
Can I adjust the sound?
Yes. A two-band EQ on the front panel lets you tune the tone quickly, and the front-mounted controls are easy to reach.
Is it a stereo speaker?
No. The MS101-4 is a single full-range powered speaker, so you need two units for stereo.
What comes in the box?
The speaker itself with its power cable. Brackets and stand adapters are optional accessories, so check the listing for included items.
