Description
Yamaha HS8 8-inch Powered Studio Monitor (Single) for Professional Mixing
Product Overview
Key Features
- ✓ 2-Way Bi-Amplified Design:Features separate, dedicated amplifiers for the woofer (75W) and the tweeter (45W). This bi-amplification ensures optimal efficiency and a clear, powerful sound with minimal distortion across the frequency spectrum.
- ✓ 8-inch Woofer & 1-inch Dome Tweeter:The combination of a large 8-inch cone woofer and a highly efficient 1-inch dome tweeter provides a wide bandwidth, delivering deep, tight bass and smooth, detailed highs.
- ✓ Room Control & High Trim:Fine-tune the monitor's output to match your room's acoustics. The Room Control switch attenuates unnatural low-end buildup when placed near walls, while the High Trim switch adjusts high-frequency response.
- ✓ Low Resonance Enclosure:The cabinet is constructed from dense MDF with a three-way mitred-joint technique. This design reduces unwanted resonance and coloration, ensuring the sound output is pure and uncompromised.
- ✓ Versatile Connectivity:Equipped with balanced XLR and TRS phone jack inputs, allowing for seamless integration with a wide range of professional audio equipment like audio interfaces, mixers, and keyboards.
Why Yamaha HS8 Studio Monitor Is Better
While many studio monitors are designed to sound 'good' by boosting certain frequencies, the Yamaha HS8 is engineered to sound 'true'. Its defining characteristic is its commitment to a flat, uncolored frequency response, a principle inherited from the iconic Yamaha NS-10 monitors. This means you hear your mix exactly as it is, without any hype. This accuracy is crucial for identifying and fixing problems in your audio. A mix that sounds great on an HS8 will translate reliably to virtually any other speaker system, which is the ultimate goal for any serious audio engineer.

FAQs or Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this product sold as a single monitor or as a pair?
A: This product is sold as a single monitor. To create a stereo pair, you will need to purchase two units.
Q: Do I need a separate amplifier for the Yamaha HS8?
A: No, the Yamaha HS8 is a powered (or active) monitor, which means it has its own amplifier built-in. You can connect it directly to the line-level outputs of your audio interface or mixer.
Q: What kind of cables are required to connect these monitors?
A: You can use either balanced XLR cables or balanced 1/4-inch TRS cables to connect the HS8 to your audio source.
Q: How does the HS8 compare to the smaller HS7 or HS5 models?
A: The main difference is the size of the woofer and the resulting low-frequency extension. The HS8 has an 8-inch woofer, providing a deeper and more powerful bass response compared to the HS7 (6.5-inch) and HS5 (5-inch). The HS8 is best suited for medium to large rooms or for genres where accurate sub-bass monitoring is critical.
Q: Should I use a subwoofer with the HS8 monitors?
A: The HS8 offers excellent bass response down to 38Hz, which is sufficient for most music production. However, if you are working on film sound or genres with significant sub-bass content (below 40Hz), pairing them with the matching Yamaha HS8S subwoofer can provide a more complete full-range monitoring system.
