The HS8 Powered Studio Monitor from Yamaha is a bi-amplified monitor
that is designed for accurate sound reproduction. It is capable of up to
120W of total output and features an 8-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter
with waveguide that can produce frequencies up to 30kHz. The HS8 has
both an XLR and 1/4 TRS input that accept either balanced or unbalanced
signals for integration into a variety of studio setups. 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 dense MDF with a
damped acoustic response. HS Series engineers also employed a
traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to architectural
design, this construction firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure to
improve durability and eliminate unwanted resonance that can influence
overall sound Noise Reduction Technology 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 a noise reduction technology that
incorporates an analysis of a visual representation of the sound,
Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex. Through
this analysis Yamaha has arrived at a port design that reduces noise up
to 6dB Controls and Connectivity HS Series full-range models feature two
response controls with settings that allow them to adapt to the surface
acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. ROOM CONTROL allows you
to attenuate the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur
when speakers are placed next to walls, while HIGH TRIM allows for more
flexible control of high frequency response. For inputs, HS full-range
speakers can accommodate a range of balanced and unbalanced sources such
as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone jacks
