Yamaha HS7 6.5" Powered Studio Monitor, Black Cabinet

Yamaha HS7 6.5" Powered Studio Monitor, Black Cabinet

Yamaha HS7 has features and newly developed transducers that achieve outstanding smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth. The transducers of Yamaha HS7 utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow f magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions. The components of Yamaha HS7 materials and design were carefully re-examined, then optimized, to drastically improve the accuracy of signal reproduction throughout the audio spectrum.

The Cabinet of the Yamaha HS7 is designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and to add the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures of Yamaha HS7 are constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors. Also, the Yamaha HS7 engineer also employed a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to architectural design this firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure to dramatically improve durability and eliminate unwanted resonance that can influence overall sound.

The Yamaha HS7 speaker employs an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized. Yamaha HS7 Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this Yamaha HS7 ensures consistently delivers high-resolution sound with an exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum.

TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK

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. Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process. By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha's speaker engineering team has examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The second generation HS Series also adds a new 6.5" model to the lineup, bringing its exceptional accuracy to an even greater variety of recording environments.
