Yamaha HS8 - PA, powered studio monitor speaker for DJs and performers, in black

Product Information

Yamaha’s speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The Yamaha HS 8 studio monitor is not only visually reminiscent of its predecessor, but just like the latter, it has what it takes to be a reference monitor. The highly efficient 1“ dome tweeter featured in each of the HS Series speakers extends the usable frequency range, delivering high-resolution sound. Designed to meet the needs (and budget) of the project / home studio market, the HS8 monitors offer the perfect balance of size vs performance, making them ideal for any mixing situation. The 18-square-meter garage of the family house was converted into a studio, and the home cinema system was also installed in here.

The utilisation of this state-of-the-art technology allows HS Series studio monitors to meet the demands of more strict professional production environments. I have poured over review after review on the HS lineup and they seem to have a reputation for an overly bright high end and slightly underpowered but tight low. HS Series nearfield reference monitors are the embodiment of this philosophy, delivering a concise sound image, high resolution, and flat response. The redesigned HS models feature an advanced Low Resonance bass-reflex enclosure built around a traditional three-way mitered joint technique.Tweeter - The HS Series features a newly designed, highly efficient 1" dome tweeter that extends the usable frequency range considerably and delivers superb high-resolution sound. Port noise has also been audibly reduced by up to 6dB using the new Yamaha proprietary technology right across the HS range, which also helps to deliver a clean and precise signal. The amplifier unit in the HS series speakers is perfectly matched to the transducers that are utilised in each model of the series. Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that the HS8 Active Monitor Speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum. You get a decent selection of controls including a level control (+4dB), High Trim switch (+/- 2dB) and a Room Control switch (0, -2 or -4 dB under 500Hz).

Each speaker is constructed from a dense MDF material to provide superior acoustic clarity and response.Yamaha’s iconic HS speakers have been around since the 70s and have set a standard in the industry by which others are measured. Yamaha’s HS8 studio monitor delivers the flat, high-resolution sound and features which have made the series a best-seller, including versatile Room Control filters, multiple connectivity options and a brand new enclosure that prevents unwanted vibrations from colouring your audio.

Thanks to a well-thought-out design based on the manufacturer's decades of experience, the speakers are able to develop their full potential without any significant colouring at high volumes. Utilising a thick wave guide designed to minimise vibration the new tweeter is able to deliver smooth, distortion-free high end up to 30 kHz. Switches offer high frequency control and room control so the amplified sound can be adjusted to cater for the aborbstion of the room and the positioning of the speakers in the room to make sure the resulting sound is as natural as possible.
