About this deal

Yamaha's HS series comprises the HS5 and the HS7, and either model can be used alone or teamed with the HS8S subwoofer. I usually discourage the use of subwoofers in smaller studios as the extended bass end can exacerbate the acoustic problems that are prevalent in small, untreated rooms. However, a smaller sub, such as the HS8S, does have the advantage that you can put the main speakers where they meet ergonomic requirements while placing the sub in a position that gives the most even bass response. In my own view the sub would be best combined with the HS5s as the HS7s already have enough low end for most small spaces (they are specified as covering 43Hz to 30kHz, but where the studio is garage-sized or bigger the HS7/sub combination would be appropriate. How exactly does the Hs8 perform like a pair of studio monitors? Let’s see if the price carries its weight! Build and Design

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. WarThat would be my question: How effectively can the sub remedy a large null in a low-frequency range? The crossover can be adjusted so it would be a good match for other active monitors (different brands) which gives you much more flexibility.

Warranty Info

The combination of the 8-inch woofer and the 2-way bass reflex system means that the low-end frequencies are so powerful and well-defined there is no need for a separate subwoofer. Sound is really clear and sharp. Nothing feels overpowered, there is a good frequency balance and it feels flat indeed. So, after reading this far into the post, it’s time for the ultimate question: should you get aYamahaHS8Ssubwoofer? The experience of listening to this subwoofer is memorable. It will change how you listen to music. Overall Stands: A good set of studio monitor stands will help to position the studio monitors at an ideal height, improving the overall sound quality.

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 The Yamaha Hs8 was built for mixing and mastering audio, and it shows in the design to the output it gives.The Yamaha HS8 is the closest speaker to the Yamaha NS10 that’s currently on the market. It is a great monitor for studio recording, whether that’s a home studio or a professional set-up. Like the Yamaha NS10, this speaker offers incomparable clarity, so that every single detail – good and bad – can be heard clearly.
