Yamaha HS8W White Version 8" Powered Studio Monitor

Yamaha HS8W White Version 8" Powered Studio Monitor Big and Clean Sound

Yamaha HS8 White Powered Studio Monitor has newly developed transducers that achieve outstanding smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth. These Yamaha HS8 White transducers utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions. Each component’s materials and design were carefully re-examined, then optimized, to drastically improve the accuracy of signal reproduction throughout the audio spectrum.

The Yamaha HS8 White speaker employs an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized. Yamaha HS8 White also has a featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, Yamaha HS8 White amplifier unit ensures consistently delivers high-resolution sound with an exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum.

Also one of the best things in Yamaha HS8 White is the cabinet that is specially designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures of Yamaha HS8 White are constructed from a very dense resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors. Also, Yamaha HS8 White engineers employed a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to architectural design this construction firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure to dramatically durability and eliminate unwanted resonance that can influence overall sound.

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.
