Yamaha HS8S - Powered subwoofer, active for producers, DJs and performers, in black

Product Information

I didn't think the 8" woofer would have the power it does (over a 10" per say), but my volume isn't even half and my home studio FEELS this. Granted, I'm in a small 150sq/ft space so there's not a whole lot of room to cover, but my mixes have never sounded better.

The dark variation has a white woofer, which is an unmistakable Yamaha plan that gives proper respect to past ages of Yamaha screens. HS Series cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. A musician, occasional producer and sound engineer, other hobbies include software programming, web development, long walks and occasional DIY.

Yamaha Music Europe GmbH (UK) trading as Yamaha Music London acts as a credit broker and offers credit products from Secure Trust Bank PLC trading as V12 Retail Finance. What you're aiming for is a smooth transition from the low bass from the sub to the mid-bass from the main speakers, in a similar way that a crossover should provide a smooth transition from the woofer to the tweeter in a 2 way speaker. A system of screws and a specially designed mounting ring eliminates spurious vibration and resonance, allowing the speaker to deliver its full sonic potential. Experiment with subwoofer placement (using white or pink noise is a good strategy), and you’ll find the ideal placement in your space soon enough. HS Series nearfield reference monitors are the embodiment of this philosophy, delivering a concise sound image, high resolution, and flat response.
