Yamaha HS8W Description
The
Yamaha HS8W brings the iconic HS Series performance into a refined white cabinet—ideal for modern production spaces and clean visual setups. Built on the legacy of Yamaha’s renowned NS-10 monitors, the HS8W offers detailed, honest sound reproduction with minimal coloration, helping producers and engineers achieve mixes that translate across all systems.
Its bi-amplified design powers a large 8" woofer with 75 watts and a 1" dome tweeter with 45 watts, optimized by a carefully tuned crossover at 2kHz. This ensures that both low-end punch and high-frequency precision are delivered clearly and independently.
An advanced magnetic circuit and thick, resonance-suppressing MDF enclosure reduce distortion and improve dynamic range, while the rear ported design enhances low-frequency extension.
The HS8W is also room adaptable, thanks to built-in Room Control and High Trim switches—allowing precise tailoring for untreated or irregular environments. With XLR and TRS balanced inputs, it's compatible with any professional audio interface or studio mixer.
