Key Features
Product Ref: 172393
The Yamaha HS8 Active Studio Monitor is ideal for mixing and mastering applications, with its premium-grade components, high-resolution audio and attenuation controls. The bi-amplified design is comprised of an 8-inch cone woofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter.
At the heart of the HS8 is the dual amplifier provides 75W of power for the low end and 45W for the high-end, resulting in 120W of power amplification for optimum efficiency. The nearfield design is ideal for creating the perfect mix, boasting a wide frequency response as well as versatile connectivity for connecting to audio interfaces and more.
The bi-amplified design features an extended frequency range, ranging from 38Hz – 30kHz ensuring you capture every nuance from your source audio. It also features a bass-reflex port for a more pronounced and powerful low-end, highly useful for when it comes to mixing bass.
It also includes Room Control and High trim switches allowing you to attenuate your studio monitors to suit the environment you are working in. This ensures optimal audio performance, allowing you to easily find your sweet spot. The HS8 also boasts larger magnets designed to provide a tightly controlled flux field with a smooth response.
The robust enclosure is designed to eliminate unwanted resonances for improved performance. The design is built-to-last with an ergonomic layout on the rear of the monitor, for quick and easy control of your parameters. It also boasts XLR and TRS phone jack inputs, accepting both balanced or unbalanced signals, ideal for routing sound from an audio interface. The rear of the studio monitor also features a main level attenuator, ranging from minimum to -10dB, ensuring optimal audio quality no matter the volume.
Equally as important as the equipment that you are using is the room you are using it in. The easiest hurdle to fall over when creating and mixing music is not acoustically treating your studio or home studio, leaving this untouched will result in mixes that do not translate to other systems or speakers as you haven't been able to make accurate mixing decisions. The 30x30x5cm Wedge allows you to effectively absorb mid-range and high frequencies to make sure they are not overpowering the frequency response of your room, causing you to have dull and lifeless mixes on other systems that inherently have more top end information.
Not just limited to use within a professional or home studio, the 30x30x5cm Wedge can be used in any environment where you need to soundproof your room, whether that's a live music venue, rehearsal spaces, office buildings or restaurants you can effectively attenuate mid to high range frequencies for a more controlled sound.
Constructed from specialised acoustic foam and precision cut, the Acoustic Gear Wedge allows you to place them anywhere in your environment with ease. The lightweight foam can be hung with a number of different hanging solutions such as adhesive, tape or fasteners. Ideal for treating larger wall areas, you can fit as many as you need together side by side in your space to create a customised soundproofing solution. Due to the corrugated front of the panel, the surface area is massively increased, meaning they are more effective in absorbing targeted frequencies to keep your sound under control.
Any electrical items in your order may have a United Kingdom or EU plug connection. A suitable plug conversion adapter will be included with these items if required, free of charge.
