Description
Av Synergy brings to you Yamaha HS8 – 2-way bass-reflex bi-amplified nearfield studio monitor with 8″ cone woofer and 1″ dome tweeter. Ever since the 1970’s the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha’s nearfield reference monitors have become a stringent industry standard for a bonafide reason – their precision. Contrary to the studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were crafted to give you the most honest, accurate reference possible, delivering an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process. By bringing together acquired knowledge and expertise with functionally sophisticated sound technologies, Yamaha’s speaker engineering team have examined every minutiae, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most credible in the business.

Benefits of Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitor:
Sound Philosophy of HS Series Studio Monitors
When selecting studio reference monitors for mixing and music production, one consideration takes precedence above all others – accuracy. Beginning with the legendary NS-10M, and continuing with the MSP and previous HS Series, this new lineup shares a design philosophy that emphasizes sonic purity without any coloring or alteration of the original sound. While many manufacturers seek to level up the sound of their monitors to make them sound stellar, Yamaha studio monitors are designed to notch the best possible mix by ensuring that the sound from your speakers is as authentic as it gets. HS Series nearfield reference monitors are the embodiment of this philosophy, delivering a concise sound image, high resolution, and flat response.
Highly Efficient Transducers
The HS Series features newly developed transducers that achieve astonishingly smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth. These transducers leverage an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions. Each component’s materials and design were meticulously re-examined, then optimized, to radically improve the accuracy of signal reproduction across the audio spectrum.
Tweeter – The HS Series features innovatively-designed, productive 1″ dome tweeter that increases the usable frequency range considerably and renders superb high-resolution sound. Leveraging a thick wave guide designed to minimize vibration the new tweeter is able to render smooth, distortion-free high end up to 30 kHz.
Woofer – With innovatively-designed, ultra-responsive woofers that leverage huge, meticulously picked magnets, HS Series monitors produce low distortion sound with a well-defined bottom end at any output level. All of the components in these high-power woofers, comprising the woofer ring and the basket further contribute to the HS Series’ stunning bass while delivering clear, precise mids.
High Performance Amp Unit
HS Series speakers employ an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized in each model of the series. Feature-packed with a bi-amp design alongside a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that each HS Series speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with stunning flat response across the sound spectrum.
Low Resonance Enclosure Design
HS Series cabinets are advance-designed to cut out unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures are constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors. Drawing from Yamaha’s over 100 years of piano design experience, HS Series engineers also employed a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to architectural design this construction firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure to radically level up the durability and cut out unwanted resonance that can influence overall sound.
Controls and Connectivity
HS Series full-range models feature two response controls with detailed settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. ROOM CONTROL allows you to attenuate the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur when speakers are placed next to walls, while HIGH TRIM allows for more flexible control of high frequency response. For inputs, HS full-range speakers can accommodate a wide range of balanced and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone jacks. With the HS8S subwoofer, HIGH CUT control sets the cutoff frequency of subwoofer output high-frequency reduction from 80Hz to 120Hz, while PHASE switch calibrates the phase of the subwoofer output. The LOW CUT switch and LOW CUT controls reduces low frequencies for output between 80Hz and 120Hz.
