Yamaha HS8I WH active studio monitor, white (per unit)

General

This HS8I studio monitor by Yamaha can be used for just about anything thanks to its 8-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter. The speakers are separately driven by a bi-amplified system to deliver a broad, neutral frequency response that's ideal for audio mixing and mastering. What's more, Yamaha has equipped this monitor with 4 pre-drilled mounting points so you can install it on a wall or suspend it from the ceiling, making the HS8I highly versatile. Commercial applications and editing rooms where space is limited are sure to benefit from the mounting options of this monitor, which are a result of feedback Yamaha received based on their previous HS series.

Optimised exterior

To keep unwanted resonance to a minimum, a special type of MDF was used in a closed cabinet construction based on 100 years of piano-design experience! The corners of the HS8I are anchored, ensuring a long lifespan and ultra-reliability and stability. Most importantly, it prevents vibrations from having a negative effect on the sound.

Connection options and controls

The HS8I is equipped with a TRS jack as well as an XLR input so you can connect both balanced/unbalanced audio sources. It also features a practical control for manually adjusting the tonal characteristics of the sound according to the acoustics of the room. If the monitor is close to a wall, for instance, it could cause the low frequencies to get jumbled together. The Room Control function allows you to remove any excess bass so you can create a more balanced mix. If excess trebles are the problem, you can use the High Trim function.
