2.The speakers are ergonomically designed and fit in perfectly with any environment.

3.The Hercules Monitor 5 speakers are incredibly versatile.
With their different input options including XLR, 1/4”/6.35 mm jack (TRS) and RCA connectors, you can easily connect the speakers to all your devices —including a computer, sound card, DJ equipment, mixer, etc.
The speakers are perfect for learning how to mix, producing your first music tracks, and for multimedia creation as well.
They can also be used as high-quality general multimedia speakers (with a TV set, for example).
Summary
Admittedly, up until now, Hurcules is not a company that has been on our radar, but based on what we have seen in their specifications, the M5s will be an interesting competitor to the popular KRK RoKit RP6, so we are excited to give them a try.
