Yamaha HS8 studio monitor with powerful low-end response
If you need a studio monitor that handles low frequencies with confidence, the Yamaha HS8 is a strong option. Its large 8 inch woofer with the familiar white cone works alongside a 1 inch tweeter and covers a wide frequency range from 38 Hz to 30,000 Hz.
With 120 watts of bi-amp power, split into 75 watts for the woofer and 45 watts for the tweeter, the Yamaha HS8 is suitable for a wide range of uses. That makes this speaker a solid fit for studio setups as well as other situations where you want an active monitor with substantial output.
Connections and tuning on the Yamaha HS8
The Yamaha HS8 uses a bass reflex system and offers balanced XLR and balanced 6.3 mm jack inputs. This makes it compatible with a range of audio gear using balanced connections, which is useful in a clean setup with reduced interference.
The input level can be adjusted, and Room Control plus High-Trim tone control let you fine-tune the response to your room and setup. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from staff who work with audio and instruments themselves.
Size and construction
With dimensions of 250 x 390 x 334 mm and a weight of 10.2 kg, the Yamaha HS8 has a substantial build that matches its 8 inch design and power. The HS8 no longer has a magnetically shielded construction.
The price is per piece, which matters if you want to build a stereo pair for your studio or listening space.
