Description
Yamaha HS8 W Active Nearfield Studio Monitor (White)
Key Features
- ✓ High-Performance Transducers:The HS8 W uses a newly designed 8" woofer for clean, well-defined low frequencies and a 1" dome tweeter for detailed highs up to 30kHz, ensuring a smooth and accurate response across the spectrum.
- ✓ Powerful Bi-Amp Design:A dedicated amplifier for each driver (75W for the woofer, 45W for the tweeter) ensures high-resolution sound with an exceptionally flat response and reduces distortion.
- ✓ Low Resonance Enclosure:The cabinet is constructed from dense and durable MDF with a three-way mitred-joint technique. This construction dampens acoustic resonance, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate sound output.
- ✓ Advanced Noise Reduction:Yamaha's proprietary port technology effectively reduces audible vortex noise, often found in standard bass reflex ports, by up to 6dB for a clearer low-end.
- ✓ Acoustic Room Control:Equipped with Room Control and High Trim switches, the HS8 W allows you to compensate for your room's acoustics. Tame exaggerated low-end from wall placement or adjust high-frequency brightness for a perfect match.
- ✓ Versatile Connectivity:The monitor accepts a wide range of balanced and unbalanced sources with both XLR and TRS phone jack inputs, making it compatible with mixers, audio interfaces, and other professional equipment.
Why Yamaha HS8 W White Monitor Is Better
Unlike many monitors that might flatter your music with a colored sound, the Yamaha HS8 W is built on a philosophy of sonic honesty. Inheriting the spirit of the iconic Yamaha NS-10M, it delivers a precise, flat frequency response, ensuring your mix translates accurately to other systems. Its custom-designed transducers, matched bi-amplification, and effective room-tuning controls work in unison to provide a reliable reference tool. You hear the truth of your audio, which is critical for making professional mixing and mastering decisions.

FAQs
Q: Is the Yamaha HS8 W sold as a single monitor or as a pair?
A: The Yamaha HS8 W is sold as a single unit. To create a standard stereo setup, you will need to purchase two units.
Q: What is the main difference between the Yamaha HS8 and the HS8 W?
A: The 'W' denotes the White finish. The Yamaha HS8 W is the white color variant of the classic black HS8. All technical specifications and performance characteristics are identical.
Q: Do I need a separate amplifier for these monitors?
A: No, the HS8 W is an active (powered) monitor with a built-in bi-amplification system. You can connect it directly to your audio interface, mixer, or other line-level source.
Q: Are these monitors suitable for a small home studio?
A: The HS8 W has an 8-inch woofer and is quite powerful. While the Room Control feature helps adapt it to different spaces, it performs best in small to medium-sized rooms with some acoustic treatment. For very small or untreated rooms, you might consider the smaller HS5 or HS7 models.
Q: Can I use these for general music listening or gaming?
A: While you can, these are professional studio monitors designed for a flat, analytical sound for audio production. They won't have the hyped bass or treble of typical consumer speakers, providing a more truthful listening experience.
