Product Features

The HS8S is an 8" bass-reflex powered subwoofer that is the ideal low-end support for the HS-Series monitors. The HS-Series have the inherited universal mix-translation legacy and distinctive white cones of the industry-respected NS-10's, designed to deliver your mixes with transparent honesty. Room control and frequency response switches allow custom tailoring of the monitor's response to give you accurate performance in any environment.

High-performance Speakers and Mounting System
The elegant white-cone speakers used in the HS-series monitors deliver superlative audio performance that is further enhanced by a carefully engineered mounting system. A system of screws and a specially designed mounting ring eliminates spurious vibration and resonance, allowing the speaker to deliver its full sonic potential. Another feature that boosts woofer performance is a magnet selected to produce accurate, solid low-end response. The tweeter frames employ an advanced smooth-contour design that minimizes losses so that high-frequency details come through with remarkable accuracy. The extra thickness of the tweeter frame also minimizes resonance that can interfere with high-end clarity. The overall result is extraordinarily smooth, accurate response throughout the audio spectrum.

The Benefits of Built-in Power and Bi-amplification
Powered, bi-amplified monitor speakers simply make the most electrical and sonic sense, and that's why they have become the first choice of sound professionals the world over for near- and mid-field monitoring applications. In addition to the obvious advantage that you don't need separate power amplifiers, the fact that power and speakers are integrated in one unit means that the amplifiers can be perfectly matched to the characteristics of the speaker units used so you get consistently superior performance with any source in just about any listening environment. Bi-amplification means that separate power amplifiers are used to drive the low-mid and high-frequency speaker units, and this eliminates interaction between the units as well as the response and phase anomalies introduced by passive crossover networks. Both speaker units can function at optimum performance levels for correspondingly high overall sonic quality.

Large Magnets in an Advanced Magnetic Circuit Design
One feature of the HS-series monitors that you'll hear but are not likely to see is the extra large magnets. In combination with an advanced magnetic circuit design these magnets provide a powerful, uniform, tightly controlled flux field that results in exceptionally smooth response and dynamic capability over a wider frequency range.

Portable, Versatile Monitoring for Your Audio Workstation
All you really need for top-class stereo production capability is a good audio workstation and a pair of HS-series monitors. A system like this is not only portable and extremely easy to set up anywhere you need it, it can deliver outstanding monitoring performance that will let you get your mixes just right. The response-control features of these monitors let you tweak them for the best response no matter where you set them up.

Serious Surround Production
Although stereo is still the most common format for basic music listening, 5.1 surround has become the audio format of choice for today's advanced visual media, and is beginning to be recognized as a superior vehicle for pure musical enjoyment as well. But to properly mix and produce surround sound you need a good 5.1 monitoring system. The HS-series speakers and subwoofer are the perfect choice if you want competitive surround-monitoring performance without having to spend big-studio megabucks to get it.

Optimum Response In Any Room
Speaker response can vary greatly depending on the size, shape, and surface acoustics of the room in which they're used, as well as how they're placed within that environment. The HS-Series gives you extra room-matching and speaker placement versatility with ROOM CONTROL, MID EQ, and HIGH TRIM response control switches that are specifically designed to compensate for common acoustic deficiencies and monitoring needs. The ROOM CONTROL switch, for example, can be used to compensate for the unnatural low-end exaggeration that usually occurs when speakers are placed close to walls or in corners. The MID EQ switch gives you subtle midrange boost and cut options in addition to flat response, while the HIGH TRIM switch offer the same type of response-tailoring capability for the high frequencies.

8" bass-reflex powered subwoofer delivers low frequencies down to 22Hz 22Hz - 150Hz frequency response High-power 150W amplifier exclusively designed for low frequencies LOW CUT switch, LOW CUT control (80-120Hz) HIGH CUT control (80-120 Hz) PHASE switch allow users to set up a subwoofer system with simple connections and no additional equipment

Amazing reference quality bass speaker, never distorts, works so well with yamaha hs8's!
Yamaha HS8S Powered Subwoofer
.Simply Fantastic!! I have owned pairs of KRK rokit 5, yamaha hs7, and currently own yamaha hs8 (now an hs8s) for monitoring and mixing. The hs8 has a great flat response by itself, the best IMO of the others, and doesnt really need a sub in most applications. If you like bass heavy, dance, or hiphop music... just get the sub! You wont regret it, it allows for an even more balanced sound by letting the mains stay punchy and the sub boom. The sub is punchy and accurate, does not have the rumbling unless your room is too small, its up too loud for your room, etc. If so, just add room treatment foam or turn it down. The sub adds a full body sound that the monitors were lacking and I didnt even realize. The primary area I notice is in the lowest harmonics of kick drums and electronic bass. Its by no means a need, but I enjoy the sound while monitoring so much more now. It has the ability to adjust level for accuracy in mixing purposes also. One of my favorite purchases. I used to feel like my home setup was lacking in fun, but was accurate. Now I have the best of both worlds. :-)
