collapse expand iconDescription

The Yamaha HS8 studio monitor delivers professional-grade audio for your recording space. Yamaha's signature white speaker cones have been the studio standard for decades, trusted by professionals around the world for their flat, accurate response. The HS8 improves on this legendary performance with custom bi-amplified drivers and a scientifically engineered cabinet for vanishingly low distortion. Whether you have a dedicated studio or a bedroom setup, the HS8 gives you the tools to hear every detail of your mix.

High-Performance Components for a High-Fidelity Experience

At the heart of the HS8 are components built to exacting standards. An 8" woofer provides full-bodied low end, while a 1" dome tweeter renders high frequencies with clarity and precision. The white speaker cones are renowned for their neutral, balanced tone. Amplified separately, each driver performs at its best without interference. The rigid cabinet further eliminates resonance for a sound free of coloration. With magnets specially selected for powerful, controlled bass, the HS8 delivers wide dynamic range to reveal the nuances in your mix.

Tailor the Sound to Your Space

Every room affects the sound in its own way. The HS8 provides the tools to compensate, with switches for room control, midrange EQ, and high frequency trim. Reduce exaggerated low end from placement near walls or in corners. Add or subtract midrange frequencies to suit your tastes. Fine-tune the high end for the ideal amount of detail. However your space impacts the sound, the HS8 lets you optimize the response to create an ideal listening environment.

A Complete Monitoring Solution

For stereo production, the HS8 pair offers all you need for an accurate monitoring system. Their portable design sets up in any location, providing a professional solution for project studios and mobile rigs. The HS8 also excels as part of a surround sound setup, delivering the precision required for advanced formats. With unparalleled performance and customization at an affordable price, the HS8 is a compelling choice for audio professionals and home recordists alike.

Legendary Heritage, Modern Innovation

Yamaha has continuously improved studio monitor design over decades of experience. The HS series incorporates the latest technologies to enhance the performance of their iconic white-coned speakers. The HS8 demonstrates Yamaha's commitment to providing the tools audio professionals rely on to achieve their vision. When only the best will do, the HS8 is the monitor you can trust to reveal the truth in your mix.
