The NS10, on the other hand, was originally conceived as a music playback speaker for home use, but was 'adopted' by the studio industry because of its clear mid-range and the lack of choice of suitable nearfield monitoring at that time. Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. However, keep in mind that in a room or studio without previous acoustic treatment, the HS8 bass output will not be adequate either! A single, downward-facing, eight-inch driver, protected by a metal grille, is fitted to a front-ported MDF cabinet and driven by 150W of amplification, where an internal crossover splits the stereo input to feed the sub (in mono) and the two main speakers.

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. If the fault occurs within the first 180 days of your ownership, we'll collect the goods and deliver them back to you free of charge. HS Series speakers employ an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized in each model of the series.What I don't like about the HS7's is the fact that the bass port is on the back, having the necessity to distance them a bit from the walls, more than normal, or having to put isolation behind them to absorb or control the bass frequencies, avoiding reflexes and phase cancellation.

Both monitors showed some flaws in the high ranges, but that could be corrected with the High Trim filter. Response adaptive controls adapt speaker output to a wide range of acoustic spaces, this helps achieve uniform response and provide natural and seamless sonic transmissions. 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. This wasn't due to any lack of high end, but rather seemed to be a function The subwoofer's internal crossover can be set anywhere between 80 and 120 Hz. A black plastic foil covering gives the cabinets a very sharply finished appearance that sets off the white cone of the woofer, while the tweeter sits flush with the baffle surface, in a shallow, recessed dish.

I had very good monitors in the past (also Yamaha, other Alesis, etc) and though I had a good listening experience, but I was wrong.

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. Each of these monitors gives you a true representation of the sound quality, just as a monitor should. The enclosures are constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors.
