Description
The Yamaha HS8 Studio Monitors are one of the most purchased studio monitors in the world.
Â
This second generation of ‘HS’ nearfield reference monitors, like their predecessors, share the same design philosophy as the legendary NS-10M studio monitors – to provide accurate signal reproduction and superior sonic performance.
Designed to meet the needs (and budget) of the project / home studio market, the HS8 monitors offer the perfect balance of size vs performance, making them ideal for any mixing situation. From producers, musicians, media/movie composers through to educators and touring companies.
Ever since the 1970’s the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha’s nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason – their accuracy. Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process.
By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha’s speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The second generation HS Series also adds a new 6.5″ HS7 model to the lineup with the HS5 & HS8, bringing its exceptional accuracy to an even greater variety of recording environments.
