Description
Powerful, Accurate Studio Monitoring
The Yamaha HS8 is a 2-way powered studio monitor designed for accurate, detailed monitoring with extended low-frequency performance. Its 8-inch cone woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter are driven by a 120W bi-amplified system (75W LF + 45W HF), delivering a wide 38Hz–30kHz (-10 dB) frequency response.
With its larger woofer and higher output capability, the HS8 is well suited for recording, mixing, music production and critical listening, particularly in spaces where greater bass extension and monitoring headroom are desired.
Tailored to Your Listening Space
Yamaha's Room Control and High Trim adjustments help tailor the HS8's response to speaker placement and room acoustics. Its bass-reflex enclosure is engineered for controlled low-frequency performance while maintaining the accuracy expected from Yamaha's HS Series.
Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs accept balanced or unbalanced signals, providing straightforward connectivity with audio interfaces, mixers and other professional audio equipment.
Full-Range HS Series Performance
As the largest full-range monitor in Yamaha's HS Series lineup, the HS8 combines an 8-inch woofer, 120W bi-amplification and extended bass response for studios that need greater scale and low-frequency reach while maintaining an accurate monitoring presentation.
