Yamaha HS7 (PAIR) With Isolation PADS & Cables Package

Yamaha HS7 Active Studio Monitor

Yamaha HS7 Monitor Speaker - 95W Combined (60W + 35W) in Black

This second generation of ‘HS’ nearfield reference monitors, like their predecessors, share the same design philosophy as the legendary NS-10M studio monitors – to provide accurate signal reproduction and superior sonic performance.

Designed to meet the needs (and budget) of the project / home studio market, the HS7 monitors offer the perfect balance of size vs performance, making them ideal for any mixing situation. From producers, musicians, media/movie composers through to educators and touring companies.

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.

Sound Philosophy of HS Series Studio Monitors

When selecting studio reference monitors for mixing and music production, one consideration takes precedence above all others - accuracy.

Beginning with the legendary NS-10M, and continuing with the MSP and previous HS Series, this new lineup shares a design philosophy that emphasizes sonic purity without any coloring or alternation of the original sound. While many manufacturers seek to enhance the sound of their monitors to make them sound impressive, Yamaha studio monitors are designed to achieve the best possible mix by ensuring that the sound from your speakers is true to the original. HS Series nearfield reference monitors are the embodiment of this philosophy, delivering a concise sound image, high resolution, and flat response.

Highly efficient Transducers in the HS7

The HS7 features newly developed transducers that achieve astonishingly smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth. These transducers utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions. Each component's materials and design were carefully re-examined, then optimized, to drastically improve the accuracy of signal reproduction throughout the audio spectrum.

HS7 Tweeter

The HS7 features a newly designed, highly efficient 1" dome tweeter that extends the usable frequency range considerably and delivers superb high-resolution sound. Utilizing a thick wave guide designed to minimize vibration the new tweeter is able to deliver smooth, distortion-free high end up to 30 kHz.

HS7 Woofer

With newly designed, ultra-responsive woofers that utilize large, carefully selected magnets, HS7 monitors produce low distortion sound with a well-defined bottom end at any output level. All of the components in these high-power woofers, including the woofer ring and the basket further contribute to the HS7's stunning bass while providing clear, accurate mids.

High Performance Amp Unit

The HS7 monitor speakers employ an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers. Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that the HS7 Active Monitor Speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum.

Low Resonance Enclosure Design

HS7 cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures are constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors. Drawing from Yamaha's over 100 years of piano design experience, HS Series engineers also employed a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to architectural design this construction firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure to dramatically improve durability and eliminate unwanted resonance that can influence overall sound.

Cutting Edge Noise Reduction Technology

Speaker port design can greatly influence the clarity of overall sound. Often a vortex at the either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside of the port, causing unwanted noise. By adopting an advanced noise reduction technology that incorporates a thorough analysis of a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex. Through this in-depth analysis we have arrived at the ideal port design, resulting in a reduction of audible noise up to 6dB. The utilization of this state-of-the-art technology allows HS7 studio monitors to meet the demands of more strict professional production environments.

Controls and Connectivity

HS7 feature two response controls with detailed settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. ROOM CONTROL allows you to attenuate the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur when speakers are placed next to walls, while HIGH TRIM allows for more flexible control of high frequency response. 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. With the HS8S subwoofer, HIGH CUT control sets the cutoff frequency of subwoofer output high-frequency attenuation from 80Hz to 120Hz, while PHASE switch adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output. The LOW CUT switch and LOW CUT controls enables attenuation of low frequencies for output between 80Hz and 120Hz. The HS8S subwoofer is equipped with XLR and TRS phone jack for inputs and XLR for outputs.

SoundSation STUDIOPAD8 Pair Of Foam Pads For 8" Studio Monitors

Studio monitors are the most important and critical part of your recording studio, computer music or audio/video post-production workstation. They “translate” your work into sound pressure and convey your work in acoustic terms. To avoid unwanted “contamination” coming from surfaces in contact with the monitors (vibrations and resonances) it is necessary to isolate them. Soundsation STUDIOPAD8 is the ideal solution to these problems. Each set consists of a pair of foam insulators with rectangular base. Each insolator is made up of 2 slanting sections. By combining the two sections in different ways, you ca get different angles.
