Transducer Configuration: A departure from previous models, it uses a single 120mm woofer and a single 25mm tweeter in a bi-amplified mono configuration.
Rated Power: Delivers 50W RMS when connected to AC power; the internal DSP manages a heavy low-frequency curve that mimics the output of much larger cabinet speakers.
Frequency Response: Ranges from 50Hz to 20kHz (-6dB) with a high signal-to-noise ratio of 80dB, prioritizing deep sub-bass resonance over high-frequency separation.

Bluetooth 4.2: Supports A2DP 1.3 and AVRCP 1.6; notably, this model moved away from the "Connect+" protocol, meaning it is not compatible with the multi-speaker daisy-chaining found in the Studio 4.
Wireless Dual Sound: Allows the user to wirelessly link two Onyx Studio 5 units together; however, this is a "double-mono" sync rather than a true left/right stereo split.
Auxiliary Input: Retains the 3.5mm jack for wired sources, though users have noted a slight processing delay even when using the physical input.

Battery Specs: Equipped with a 3.635V, 3283mAh Lithium-ion battery, providing approximately 8 hours of playback at moderate volumes.
Charging: Requires a 19V / 2A AC adapter; the board-level charging logic takes roughly 5 hours to reach a full cycle from 0%.
Power Draw: Maximum consumption is rated around 38W under heavy load while connected to mains.
