Yamaha HS7 7-Inch Powered Studio Monitor (each)

Yamaha HS7 7-Inch Powered Studio Monitor (each) is the middle HS monitor: a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter with 95 W of bi-amplification, sized for a desk where an HS8 would be too much cabinet. Black, priced per speaker, so order two for a stereo pair.

6.5-inch woofer, 1-inch tweeter, 95 W split two ways

The woofer gets 60 W and the tweeter 35 W from separate amplifiers, crossed over at 2 kHz, so a heavy low end never starves the top. The rated response is 55 Hz to 24 kHz at -3 dB, in a bass-reflex MDF cabinet that keeps the port tuned and the panels quiet.

Room Control and High Trim on the back panel

ROOM CONTROL cuts 0, 2 or 4 dB below 500 Hz to tame bass build-up when the speaker has to sit near a wall. HIGH TRIM adds or removes 2 dB at the top for a bright or dead room, and the LEVEL control has a +4 dB centre click for matching a pair.

Inputs, size and weight

A balanced XLR and a balanced TRS input suit interfaces and desks alike, with -10 dBu sensitivity at 10 kOhm. The cabinet is 170 mm wide and 284 mm deep, weighs 8.2 kg and draws 55 W, and a power cord ships in the box.
