Yamaha HS8I Powered Studio Monitor
Description
Accurate Monitoring with Installation Flexibility
The Yamaha HS8I combines the full-range monitoring performance of Yamaha's HS Series with added flexibility for professional installations. Its 8-inch cone woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter are driven by a 120W bi-amplified system (75W LF + 45W HF), delivering detailed, balanced reproduction with a 38Hz–30kHz (-10 dB) frequency response.
With its extended low-frequency performance and higher output capability, the HS8I is well suited for recording, mixing, music production, critical listening and professional installed-audio applications.
Room Control & Professional Connectivity
Yamaha's Room Control and High Trim adjustments help tailor the monitor's response to its placement and acoustic environment. Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs accept balanced or unbalanced signals for easy integration with audio interfaces, mixers and professional audio systems.
Flexible Professional Installation
The key difference between the HS8I and standard HS8 is installation flexibility. The HS8I features mounting points on four surfaces, allowing it to be used with compatible optional mounting hardware for professional installations where conventional stand or desktop placement isn't practical.
