Yamaha HS8 - PA, powered studio monitor speaker for DJs and performers, in black

Product Information

ROOM CONTROL allows you to attenuate the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur when speakers are placed next to walls, while HIGH TRIM allows for more flexible control of high frequency response. I don’t personally find this to be the case, though I can imagine this may be an issue with the smaller monitors in the range which don’t have quite as much low-end grunt. The LOW CUT switch and LOW CUT controls enables attenuation of low frequencies for output between 80Hz and 120Hz. Their large 8" woofer and 120 watts of biamplified amplification make them excellent for use in larger studios and rooms. The utilization of this state-of-the-art technology allows HS8 studio monitors to meet the demands of more strict professional production environments.

An avid vinyl collector and coffee addict, I can often be found at a workbench tinkering with a faulty electronic device, tweaking a turntable to extract the last bit of detail from those tiny grooves in the plastic stuff, or relaxing in front of the hi-fi with a good album.

The Yamaha HS series of active nearfield monitors are an ideal choice for anyone looking for affordable and reliable equipment.

You have to learn the location of the on / off button to hit it without looking, and volume control is just a normal knob so it takes some effort to make both speakers equally loud, because you can't how it's set since it's hidden behind. Conclusion: there must have been some sort of compatibility issue with my old E-MU sound card, as from the moment I installed Focusrite - no problems whatsover.Andertons Music Company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 716155.
