The Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitors and HS8S Subwoofer Kit from B&H includes a pair of HS8 8", 120W powered speakers and an HS8S 8", 150W powered subwoofer. The HS5 and HS8S nearfield speakers are designed to give you an honest and precise audio reference with a concise sound image and flat frequency response, to ensure that your mix faithfully translates in most listening environments.

Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitor

The HS8 Powered Studio Monitor from Yamaha is a bi-amplified monitor that is designed for accurate sound reproduction. It is capable of up to 120W of total output and features an 8-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter with waveguide that can produce frequencies up to 30kHz. The HS8 has both an XLR and 1/4" TRS input that accept either balanced or unbalanced signals for integration into a variety of studio setups.

Low Resonance Enclosure Design
HS Series cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures are constructed from a dense MDF with a damped acoustic response. HS Series engineers also employed a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to architectural design, this construction firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure to improve durability and eliminate unwanted resonance that can influence overall sound
Noise Reduction Technology
Speaker port design can greatly influence the clarity of overall sound. Often a vortex at the either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside of the port, causing unwanted noise. By adopting a noise reduction technology that incorporates an analysis of a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex. Through this analysis Yamaha has arrived at a port design that reduces noise up to 6dB
Controls and Connectivity
HS Series full-range models feature two response controls with settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. 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. For inputs, HS full-range speakers can accommodate a range of balanced and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone jacks

Yamaha HS8S 8" Powered Subwoofer

The HS8S 8" Powered Subwoofer from Yamaha features an eight-inch cone woofer that is capable of up to 150W of output. It can reproduce frequencies down to 22Hz and features variable low and high cut filters between 80 and 120Hz. You can connect to the HS8S through its stereo XLR or 1/4" TRS inputs. It also has stereo XLR extension sub outputs.

Controls and Connectivity
The HIGH CUT control sets the cutoff frequency of subwoofer output high-frequency attenuation from 80Hz to 120Hz, while PHASE switch adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output. The LOW CUT switch and LOW CUT controls enables attenuation of low frequencies for output between 80Hz and 120Hz. The HS8S subwoofer is equipped with XLR and TRS phone jack inputs and for outputs XLR for L and R and EXT SUB out

IsoAcoustics ISO-155 Medium Speaker Monitor Acoustic Isolation Stands (Pair)

An updated version of the popular ISO-L8R stands, the IsoAcoustics ISO-155 is a pair of acoustic isolation stands offering improved tonal and spatial accuracy for your speakers. Measuring 6.1 x 7.5 inches with a height range of 3.0 to 8.3 inches, the ISO-155 isolation stands are designed to hold medium-sized studio monitors weighing up to 40 pounds. By preventing the transfer of speaker cabinet energy to surrounding surfaces, the ISO-155 stands isolate your speakers and reduce smearing. They can be used in broadcast video production houses and recording studios to allow the speaker monitors to perform in free space and achieve their full sonic potential.

The stands offer 14 variations of height and tilt to help you optimize the placement of your monitors and bring your tweeters to ear level. The ISO-155 stands provide superior isolation and decoupling from the supporting surface to minimize reflections and unwanted resonance. The stands are biased to keep all energy in alignment with the listening position, providing greater clarity and focus.

question

I'm undecided between Yamaha HS8 and JBL LSR 308? JBL is much cheaper but is Yamaha that much better than JBL? I'm a big fan of JBL but finally it's made in China.. Where is this product made?
Asked by: Ahmet
I recently bought this pair from B&H and its a great decision, one of the strong addition to our audio studio... we run a production outfit for commercial purpose and quality of sound is key for us to make users and clients happy.. Yamaha has been around music production for much longer.. If you can stretch your budget a bit, this is highly recommended. on where it was made? may need to check the back.. I have been buying kits from B&H for about 10years... and not had any quality issue with them though... all the best

Asked by: Leopoldo
No, the Yamaha HS8 are priced per speaker. Most studio monitors are priced per speaker, unlike home entertainment speakers which are typically priced per pair.
