The Yamaha HS8 is a 2-way bass-reflex bi-amplified near-field studio monitor with an 8-inch cone woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter. When selecting studio reference monitors for mixing and music production, one consideration takes precedence above all others - accuracy. Beginning with the legendary NS-10M, and continuing with the MSP and previous HS Series, the Yamaha HS8 Studio Monitor from the new lineup shares a design philosophy that emphasizes sonic purity without any coloring or alternation of the original sound. While many manufacturers seek to enhance the sound of their monitors to make them sound impressive, Yamaha studio monitors are designed to achieve the best possible mix by ensuring that the sound from your speakers is true to the original. HS Series near-field reference monitors are the embodiment of this philosophy, delivering a concise sound image, high resolution, and flat response.

Improved Tweeters and Woofers

Improving on the success of the original HS line launched in 2006, the completely redesigned HS series features transducers that achieve smooth response over a wide bandwidth and ensure the accuracy of signal reproduction throughout the audio spectrum. By upgrading to a 1-inch tweeter this monitor series provides an extended frequency range and delivers superb high-resolution sound. Utilizing a thick wave guide designed to minimize vibration the tweeter can deliver smooth, distortion-free high end up to 30 kHz. Yamaha engineers have optimized the HS-powered monitor and subwoofer monitor system for a variety of music production environments.

High-Performance Amp Unit

The speaker employs an amplifier unit perfectly matched to its powerful transducer. Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both, the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that the speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with an exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum.
