    Yamaha HS Series Monitors

    Ever since the 1970's the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha's nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason - their accuracy. Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process.

    By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha's speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The second generation HS Series also adds a new 6.5" model to the lineup, bringing its exceptional accuracy to an even greater variety of recording environments.

    Newly Developed Transducers

    The HS Series features newly developed transducers that achieve astonishingly smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth. These transducers utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions.

    High Performance Amp Unit

    HS Series speakers employ an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized in each model of the series. Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that each HS Series speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum.

    Controls and Connectivity

    HS Series full-range models feature two response controls with detailed settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. For inputs, HS full-range speakers can accommodate a wide range of balanced and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone jacks.

    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 very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors.

    Cutting Edge Noise Reduction

    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 an advanced noise reduction technology that incorporates a thorough analysis of a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex.

    New HS Install Versions

    The new installation version of the renown Yamaha HS Studio Monitors include mounting points and screws for installation. Compatible with wall, ceiling, and baton brackets (sold separately.

    Monster Monitors!
    I love these monitors! I'm currently attending production school so I got me a pair of the AV 42s M-Audio... you know, something small and cheap for a beginner until I was ready to upgrade. I quickly started to notice that their low frequency range wasn't low enough for some projects. They would cutoff with most bass so I decided to making the commitment and purchasing some real studio referencing monitors. I looked around for a few days and started comparing between the KRK's, PreSonus and these Yahama's. After a few days of researching I decided to buy these monitors and as soon as I heard them I was instantaneously pleased with my decision. They have a very clear sound and more than enough bass, specially for someone who isn't trying to get kicked out of their apartment for noise complaints. It isn't hard to be satisfied when upgrading from some AV 42's but if they didn't provide great quality sound I wouldn't of taken the time to write this review.
