Yamaha HS8

Description

Essential Information About the Yamaha HS8 Studio Monitor (2nd Generation)

  • Reference Accuracy: extended response from 38 Hz to 30 kHz for tight bass and crisp highs.
  • 120 W Bi-amplification: 75 W for the 8-inch woofer and 45 W for the 1-inch tweeter, ensuring dynamic headroom.
  • Optimized Enclosure: bass-reflex loading and carefully crafted cabinet to minimize resonances and unwanted noise.
  • Easy Integration: balanced XLR and 6.3 mm jack inputs, adjustable input level and high-frequency control.

From the NS-10M to the HS Series: Yamaha's Lineage Dedicated to Truth in Sound

Heir to the philosophy "no frills, just sound," the HS8 continues the legacy of Yamaha's iconic models. This second generation retains the strengths of the original HS while refining high-frequency reproduction thanks to its 1-inch tweeter and an even more rigorous cabinet construction.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

The Yamaha HS8 targets producers, mixers, and creators working in home studios or project studios who seek reliable nearfield monitoring for editing, arranging, and mixing. Its neutrality facilitates decision-making: what you hear translates outside the studio, whether on hi-fi systems, headphones, or streaming platforms.

Accuracy, Listening Comfort, and Integration into Your Room

The 1-inch tweeter offers greater finesse and a pleasant smoothness during long sessions, reducing ear fatigue without sacrificing detail. Separate bi-amplification for bass and treble ensures precise driver control, delivering sharp transients and a stable stereo image.

The bass-reflex loading and reinforced cabinet limit unwanted resonances. Built-in controls - input level and high-frequency adjustment - allow you to tailor the speaker's response to your environment and audio chain.

superb speakers bought at woodbrass, they are quite neutral, have good mids, the subs are a bit too loud for me because I don't have good acoustics yet, I recommend them

Generates incessant noise, it's a shame. I think that after all the tests I have done, there must be some interference in my electrical network that I can't solve.... Otherwise, very good speakers. Problem solved....phew!
