An HS8 That’s Ready for Installation

The Yamaha HS8i active studio monitors will help you make better-sounding recordings. Yamaha’s nearfield monitors with their iconic white-coned woofers have been ubiquitous in top studios worldwide ever since the original NS-10s hit the scene in the late ’70s. Yamaha (never content to rest on its laurels) has continuously developed and perfected the design, resulting in HS series monitors with newly designed bi-amplified drivers and scientifically ported enclosures that deliver amazing accuracy and vanishingly low coloration. The Yamaha HS8i features mounting points on four surfaces for quick an easy installations.

• Install version of the HS8 – has mounting points on 4 surfaces
• High-performance drivers: 8″ cone woofer, 1″ dome tweeter
• Impressive 38Hz to 30kHz frequency response
• Large magnets in an Advanced Magnetic Circuit design
• Built-in bi-amplification: 75-watt LF, 45-watt HF
• Dedicated power amps are perfectly matched to the woofer and tweeter
• Enclosure is designed to kill unwanted resonances that can influence sound
• Room control and high-trim response controls give you optimum response in any room

High-performance drivers and mounting system

The drivers used in the HS series monitors deliver superb audio performance that is considerably enhanced by a sophisticated mounting system. A scientific arrangement of screws and a specially designed mounting ring eliminate unwanted vibration and resonance, letting the speaker realize its full sonic potential, without distortion or coloration. Yamaha selects their magnets to optimize solid low-end response. Tweeter frames use an advanced smooth-contour design that minimizes losses, letting you hear high-frequency details with stunning accuracy. The extra thick tweeter frame also diminishes resonance that can interfere with treble clarity. The bottom line? Smooth, accurate response throughout the audio spectrum. And that translates to better-sounding recordings for you.

Beefy magnets; Advanced Magnetic Circuit design

HS series monitors rock extra large magnets. Why is this important? In concert with the HS8i’s Advanced Magnetic Circuit design, these beefy magnets deliver a robust, uniform, and tightly controlled flux field that yields exceedingly smooth response and dynamic efficiency over a wider frequency range.

Optimum response in any room

HS series monitors deliver outstanding monitoring performance, enabling you to get your mixes just right. Even better, you can take your accurate monitoring on the road. The HS8i boasts room control and high-trim response controls that let you tailor your monitors to your room for optimal response. So whether you’re in a control room or in a cramped remote truck, you’ll always be able to trust your monitoring.
