It is a two-way, bi-amplified box with 120 W on board and a flat response you mix against rather than enjoy, which is exactly what a monitor is for. Black cabinet, sold as a single speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBi-amplified: 75 W to the woofer, 45 W to the tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8-inch low-frequency driver gets its own 75 W amplifier and the 1-inch tweeter gets 45 W, with the crossover set at 2 kHz. Giving each driver its own amp means the woofer working hard on a bass line does not rob the tweeter of headroom for the cymbals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e47 Hz to 24 kHz at -3 dB\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated at 47 Hz to 24 kHz within 3 dB, with a wider 38 Hz to 30 kHz range beyond that, the HS8 reaches low enough that most mixes will not need a sub. The bass-reflex MDF cabinet keeps the port tuned and the panels quiet, so what you hear is the driver, not the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoom Control and High Trim on the back panel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ROOM CONTROL switch cuts 0, 2 or 4 dB below 500 Hz, which is the fix for bass build-up when the monitors have to sit near a wall. HIGH TRIM adds or removes 2 dB at the top end for a bright or dead room, and a LEVEL control with a +4 dB centre click makes it easy to match a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConnections and the practical bits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA balanced XLR and a balanced TRS input cover interfaces, desks and monitor controllers, with input sensitivity of -10 dBu at 10 kOhm. A white LED shows power. The cabinet is 210 mm wide and 334 mm deep, weighs 10.2 kg and draws 60 W, and a power cord and manual come in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHS8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOwner's Manual, Power cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eStrings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLEVEL control (+4dB\/center click) , EQ: HIGH TRIM switch (+\/- 2dB at HF) \/ ROOM CONTROL switch (0\/-2\/-4 dB under 500Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eFrequency response (-3dB)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47Hz - 24kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eCrossover\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eOutput power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120W (LF:75W, HF:45W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eInput sensitivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-10 dBu\/10k ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eI\/O connectors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXLR3-31 type (balanced), PHONE (balanced)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eIndicators\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower ON (White LED)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass-reflex type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eCabinet material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMDF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e210mm (8-1\/4\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.2kg (22.5 lbs.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8'' Studio Monitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619636998434,"sku":"HS8","price":519.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/7955-1__37882.1788332005.1280.1280.jpg?v=1790231565","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/yamaha-hs8-powered-studio-monitor-hs-8","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
