Yamaha HS8S Studio Monitor Subwoofer - Welcome to Reality!
Since the 1970s, Yamaha's iconic reference monitors with the white cone have set the standard for the entire audio industry thanks to their accurate, authentic reproduction. While other studio monitors with strong bass and treble response might flatter your ears at first listen, they can also lead you astray when judging a mix. Yamaha's HS models, on the other hand, deliver reference sound, meaning you can rely on their honesty and precision throughout the entire mixing process.
Yamaha's speaker engineers combined decades of expertise with great know-how during development. Furthermore, cutting-edge technology was used and the product was optimized until monitors emerged that rank among the most reliable reference monitors in the audio scene. The now second generation of the HS series has not only been improved but also expanded with a new 6.5" model, giving you even more options for your studio.
Newly Developed Transducers
The HS series features newly developed transducers that enable an astonishingly balanced reproduction across a wide frequency range. The response behavior of the speaker magnets and the magnetic field they generate have been perfected, playing a major role in flawless, natural-sounding sound conversion. All components, including their raw materials and circuit design, were carefully tested and fine-tuned to ultimately achieve absolutely accurate signal reproduction across the entire audible audio spectrum.
High-Performance Amplifiers
The amplifiers of the HS series are perfectly matched to the transducers of each model. Thanks to the "Bi-Amplified" design, tweeters and woofers each have their own dedicated amplifier. The amps are also of outstanding quality and contribute significantly to the high-resolution sound and linear frequency response of the studio monitors.
Resonance-Reduced Cabinet Construction
A special cabinet construction prevents unwanted resonances in the HS series. This allows the precision of the reproduction to be pushed to the limits of what is possible. The cabinets are made from durable MDF with optimal damping properties, ideal for studio monitors. Since Yamaha has over 100 years of experience building pianos, the HS engineers applied the traditional three-way miter joint. This construction firmly anchors the cabinet panels at the corners, making the units not only very durable but also keeping unwanted resonances in check that could negatively affect the overall sound.
Innovative Methods for Minimizing Noise
Bass reflex openings may provide more punch, but they can also negatively affect the sound. The cause of this impairment is turbulence at both ends of the port opening, which creates air vibrations that in turn cause unwanted noise. Through carefully conducted analysis methods, Yamaha engineers optimized the bass reflex channel and minimized the tendency for turbulence, ultimately resulting in noise reduction of up to 6 dB. This allows the HS series studio monitors to meet even the strictest and most demanding production requirements.
Controls and Connections
The full-range models of the HS series feature two tone controls that allow the speakers to be adapted to the acoustic characteristics and shape of the room boundaries. With ROOM CONTROL, you can reduce the exaggerated bass that inevitably occurs when the speakers are placed near walls. With HIGH TRIM, you can adjust the treble response. On the input side, the full-range speakers are equipped with jack and XLR sockets suitable for balanced and unbalanced connections of all kinds of devices, from keyboards and mixers to audio interfaces.
For the HS8S subwoofer, the cutoff frequency of the switchable low-pass filter (HIGH CUT, trimming high frequencies) can be set between 80 and 120 Hz. The high-pass filter at the output (LOW CUT, trimming low frequencies) can also be positioned between 80 and 120 Hz. The PHASE control allows the phase at the subwoofer output to be inverted. The HS8S subwoofer features XLR outputs (L, R, and EXT SUB). Inputs are available in both jack and XLR formats.
