General

A subwoofer for large audiences is a bulky, booming cabinet but if you're working in the studio, you need something more subtle and balanced like a specially designed studio sub. Yamaha's HS8S is exactly that and its sonic profile has been matched to go well with HS series monitors. The 8-inch woofer is driven by a 150W amplifier. Within a frequency range of 22 to 150 Hz this woofer presents a deep, accurate bass that's perfect for bass-heavy genres and/or film projects.

Wrote the following about Yamaha HS8S Active Subwoofer
I wasn't sure if I should buy this sub to complement my HS7s, but I'm glad I did. I use my setup to listen to the music and watch movies, and it drastically changed the experience. First of all you really feel the music – the lower frequencies are reverberating in your body, even on very low volume. In general I noticed that I can listen to the music on a much lower volume and still enjoy every detail. It also gives presence to such instruments like double bass, tuba, drums, or lower octave of a piano. My HS7 no longer have to deal with these lower frequencies and at least to my ears sound a bit clearer.
One thing to keep in mind though is that it's very sensitive to the positioning (like any sub). If I put it in the corner a bit out of sight, then it creates a room mode in the opposite corner with greatly amplified bass, while there's almost nothing in the centre of the room. So need to play around with it, and adjust for your listening position. Something to keep in mind.
Overall very happy with the purchase.

Caisson de basse bluffant ! Indispensable pour maitriser ses créations sonores, les basses sont correctement resituées : le caisson descend jusqu’à 22-24 Hz alors que les HP du genre HS8 ne descendent qu’à 38Hz

Uitstekende sub met Yamaha kwaliteit.
Opmerking bij de video presentatie van Stijn: Met verbazing naar zijn uitleg over de fase-switch geluister. Zo zou hij uitkomst kunnen bieden bij staande golven door de fase om te keren???? Dit is volslagen onzin!!

Deze subwoofer overtrof de verwachting.
Tip, koop echt naar je ruimte. Ik kan hem maar 1 kwart opendraaien en het is al 'teveel'.
Dankzij de ported Bas geschikt voor alle productiedoeleinden.
Nu staat er "meer ruimte" op mijn todo lijst.

J'ai les HS7, couplées avec ce caisson et le résultat est impressionnant, les basses fréquences sont très très bien retranscrites.
