These are amazing but do note they are huge and take up a lot of space unlike 5" speakers.

Great Product

Everyone I knew was getting Rokit studio monitors so I decide to try something different. These speakers are rather big but wholly crud! These things sound great! Unlike a lot of monitors, these sound even. No emphasis on bass which is very important when making sure your mixes aren’t lacking bass. Highly recommended!

These are amazing but do note they are huge and take up a lot of space unlike 5" speakers.

While many studio monitors aim to impress with enhanced sound, the HS8 8" 2-Way Bass-Reflex Bi-Amplified Powered Studio Monitor from Yamaha is designed with one primary goal in mind: accuracy. This professional-grade studio monitor, renowned for its iconic white woofer and signature sound, is a testament to Yamaha's commitment to delivering precise, unaltered sound reproduction.

The HS8 is a near-field reference monitor that features a 2-way bass-reflex bi-amplified design, equipped with an 8" cone woofer and a 1" dome tweeter. This powerful combination ensures a smooth, high-resolution sound with a wide frequency response range of 38Hz to 30kHz. The monitor's high-performance 120W power amplification system, comprising of 75W LF and 45W HF bi-amp, delivers a dynamic and impactful sound that's ideal for professional recording and mixing applications.

The HS8 studio monitor is engineered with newly developed transducers that offer a seamless sonic transition across a wide range of bandwidths. The advanced magnetic field design of these transducers ensures natural sound reproduction, while the highly efficient 1" dome tweeter extends the usable frequency range, delivering superb high-resolution sound up to 30 kHz.

The monitor's low resonance enclosure design, constructed from dense and resilient MDF, eliminates unwanted resonance and enhances the accuracy of sound reproduction. The traditional three-way mitered-joint technique, borrowed from Yamaha's century-long experience in piano design, anchors the corners of the enclosure to improve durability and eliminate unwanted resonance.

The HS8 also features cutting-edge noise reduction technology, with an ideal port design that reduces audible noise up to 6dB. This technology, combined with the ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM response controls, allows the monitor to adapt to varying room acoustics, ensuring optimal sound quality in different environments.

For connectivity, the HS8 accepts a wide range of balanced and unbalanced sources, including mixers, keyboards, and audio interfaces, through XLR and TRS phone jacks. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for a variety of professional or home studio environments.

In summary, the HS8 8" 2-Way Bass-Reflex Bi-Amplified Powered Studio Monitor is a high-quality, reliable, and powerful audio equipment that delivers accurate and uncolored sound, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking precision in their audio recording and mixing tasks.
