Bold North Audio MS10-W - The First Accurate Sonic Match to the Iconic Yamaha Woofer 

The Yamaha™ NS-10M™near-field monitor loudspeaker is an icon in the recording industry. It is the de-facto standard in both professional and home recording studios worldwide. Unfortunately, the product has been discontinued and Yamaha-made replacement parts are no longer available.

MISCO has answered the need with the MS10-W direct replacement woofer driver for NS-10M loudspeakers. The MS10-W exactly matches the sound of the Yamaha woofer more accurately than any manufacturer has ever done.

Using state-of-the-art laser-based measurement tools, MISCO engineers were able to pinpoint those factors that make an NS-10M driver sound like it does, and choose the materials and tuning needed to match the iconic NS-10M sound. 

  • Seamed paper cone for accurate reproduction of the NS10-M woofer timbre 
  • Klippel Verified - designed and 100% tested with state-of-the-art Klippel measurement tools
  • Edge-wound copper voice coil
  • 90dB sensitivity
  • Black powder-coated steel basket

The MS10-W is packaged and sold individually, but MISCO highly recommends that NS-10M™ owners replace both woofers at the same time. Original drivers may "work" but their suspensions have likely fatigued over time and no longer perform as they should. For the best imaging and sound staging, it is essential that the left and right speakers be as closely matched as possible. Replacing both midwoofers with MS10-Ws, in essence, brings the speaker system back to the sound of a new pair of NS-10M's (assuming the tweeters and crossovers are working correctly). Purchase TWO for the best results!
