Yamaha HS8 Active Reference Monitor Speaker

Ever since the 1970’s the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha’s nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason – their accuracy. The Yamaha HS8 Active Reference Monitor is modelled on the industry standard NS10 studio monitor, seen in professional recording studios worldwide

This flat response loudspeaker does not boost the bass or treble, therefore if you can get your mix to sound good on the HS8 it will translate perfectly to any other speaker system.

The Hs8 speakers create an accurate and smooth representation of the with the sounds you are making. they have 2 built in amplifiers, 75 watts for the low-mid and 45 watts for the high frequency,

To achieve the most accurate sound from these monitors The Room Control and High Trim Response controls on the unit help to compensate if the the monitor is placed near walls or to compensate for room acoustics,

Yamaha’s speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business.
