Yamaha HS 3 / HS 8S 2.1 Active Studio Monitor Set

Always Source-Accurate Sound

The HS3 and HS4 continue the design philosophy and expertise of earlier Yamaha studio monitors. No effort was spared to develop an optimal product. The result is carefully selected components such as a powerful Class-D amplifier, a highly durable MDF enclosure, and woofers and soft-dome tweeters that deliver source-accurate sound despite their compact size.

They also feature the patented "Twisted Flare Port" technology, which reduces air turbulence in the bass reflex opening, resulting in clear and precise bass. This is the secret behind the HS3 and HS4’s outstanding resolution, sound image, and great depth — with a linear frequency response across all ranges without coloring the original sound.

Optimal Sound Tailored to Your Environment

Sound produced by speakers is often influenced by the surrounding environment.

The backs of the HS3 and HS4 are equipped with ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM functions, allowing you to make simple adjustments to achieve ideal sound for any setting — such as reducing unnecessary, exaggerated low frequencies that often occur when placed near walls.

Inputs and Controls for Every Application

The rear of the HS3 and HS4 features combined XLR/TRS combo, RCA, and stereo mini inputs, enabling connection to a wide range of professional and personal devices such as computers, audio interfaces, mixers, and electronic instruments. The most frequently used controls — power switch, volume knob, and headphone jack — are conveniently located on the front.

Compact and Easy to Transport

The compact size of the HS3 and HS4 is made possible by the highly efficient Class-D amplifier. Using one amplifier for two speakers allowed us to reduce overall speaker weight and simplify cabling. Even in a small bedroom studio, they take up little space and are easy to carry.
