Product Information

There’s also a level knob for adjusting output level to fit the needs of your room or space. How To Connect aYamahaHS8SSubwoofer to Your Existing Setup The tweeter expands the frequency response range, while the cone woofer contributes to low distortion. With 2 XLR and 2 1/4" inputs, you can plug a couple of different components into the woofer. It works great for mixing in the studio or amplifying the bass during live shows. It makes for an ideal DJ woofer due to its weight and portability. The materials are quite durable, so it will stand up to abuse when taken on the road. It's compact enough to fit into most studio spaces and easily fits into the car when in transit. If you’re working on electronic or bass-orientated genres where you have to “feel” those sub frequencies, want that extra level of control and have sympathetic neighbours, you can team the HS8 up with Yamaha’s dedicated HS8S subwoofer for a major low-end extension. Whilst you can pair up any compatible subwoofer to the HS8, the HS8S has been voiced to sonically match HS series monitors for the best performance. The Yamaha HS8 Active Studio Monitor is ideal for mixing and mastering applications, with its premium-grade components, high-resolution audio and attenuation controls. The bi-amplified design is comprised of an 8-inch cone woofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter.

Choose an orientation. Usually, you might need to set up your pair of monitors vertically, but some models allow a horizontal orientation. Whatever the case, choose one that goes best for you. The Yamaha monitors do have great bass down to 50Hz or so, but the room is another matter. The best monitors will not provide accurate bass if the room has problematic modes and boundary interference.You should have the best listening position possible in your studio. Try to match how far your monitors are from each other. As mentioned earlier, the goal is CLARITY. These are built to give you a clean and crisp listening experience for professional mixing. The sound is brilliant. At low volume they work perfectly well, just like normal computer speakers, but as you raise the volume, the sound remains perfectly clear to the point when it hurts your ears. The whole places shakes, but no distortion appears. Thats amazing.

The Yamaha HS8 Complete Studio Bundle with HS8S Subwoofer is a customisable bundle with a pair of Yamaha's premium-grade nearfield studio monitors complete with a matching subwoofer and suitable accessories, like speaker stands and cables to get your monitors set up immediately. I hope you enjoyed diving deep with us in this Yamaha Hs8 review! Are you heading out to buy it soon? Or have I swayed you to an alternative? If your studio monitor is too close to the wall, you won’t be hearing the true bass. Instead, you’ll be hearing build-up. Even the best studio monitors won’t produce a clear sound with a bad set-up. The Yamaha HS8S is an 8" bass-reflex powered subwoofer that is the ideal low-end support for the HS-Series monitors. The Yamaha HS-Series have the inherited universal mix-translation legacy and distinctive white cones of the industry-respected NS-10's, designed to deliver your mixes with transparent honesty. Room control and frequency response switches allow custom tailoring of the monitor's response to give you accurate performance in any environment. Make sure to account for these dimensions before you put your new Yamaha main monitors in their special space! Sound QualityWhile it’s still possible to use the Hs8 in smaller rooms, it’s designed to work better where it has the space it needs. You might get overwhelmed or complain about the heaviness of low-frequency sounds. Speaker response can vary greatly depending on the size, shape, and surface acoustics of the room in which they're used, as well as how they're placed within that environment. The HS-Series gives you extra room-matching and speaker placement versatility with ROOM CONTROL, MID EQ, and HIGH TRIM response control switches that are specifically designed to compensate for common acoustic deficiencies and monitoring needs. The ROOM CONTROL switch, for example, can be used to compensate for the unnatural low-end exaggeration that usually occurs when speakers are placed close to walls or in corners. The MID EQ switch gives you subtle midrange boost and cut options in addition to flat response, while the HIGH TRIM switch offer the same type of response-tailoring capability for the high frequencies. Specification You can limp by without one if you have really great active monitors but in most cases you do not realize what you have really been missing until you hear it, then you have an ah ha moment and realize that you have not been truly hearing music or your mixes without it.
