Powered, bi-amplified monitor speakers simply make the most electrical and sonic sense, and that's why they have become the first choice of sound professionals the world over for near- and mid-field monitoring applications. In addition to the obvious advantage that you don't need separate power amplifiers, the fact that power and speakers are integrated in one unit means that the amplifiers can be perfectly matched to the characteristics of the speaker units used so you get consistently superior performance with any source in just about any listening environment. Bi-amplification means that separate power amplifiers are used to drive the low-mid and high-frequency speaker units, and this eliminates interaction between the units as well as the response and phase anomalies introduced by passive crossover networks. Both speaker units can function at optimum performance levels for correspondingly high overall sonic quality. Large Magnets in an Advanced Magnetic Circuit Design If you have a set of powered studio monitors from a brand that makes a matching subwoofer, you’re very likely better off getting the matching sub. (I’d never recommend getting a different sub to go with your Yamaha HS5 monitors, either.) There’s also a level knob for adjusting output level to fit the needs of your room or space. How To Connect aYamahaHS8SSubwoofer to Your Existing Setup As the largest and most powerful HS monitors, it's no surprise that HS8s give the best frequency response here, too. The HS8 dips down to 38Hz — low enough to reproduce the sound of the lowest E-flat on the piano. The maximum frequency is at 30kHz, the same as the other HS models.Some describe the HS series monitors as sounding harsh or brittle. I don’t personally find this to be the case, though I can imagine this may be an issue with the smaller monitors in the range which don’t have quite as much low-end grunt. They also won’t respond well to a poor mix, so if you tend to push the levels or produce an overly bright mix the HS8s will certainly convey that. In reality, the HS8s show a surprisingly linear response as advertised as in the below graph. HS8 already have 8 inches driver for low frequency, if add a HS8S, how will the low frequency works? Yamaha’s HS Series of studio monitors is the go-to choice for many, many at-home musicians for their impressive balance of power, clarity and price. Simply put, aside from the HS Series, you’ll have a hard time getting this good a response at anywhere near these prices. Idle noise is inaudible unless you bring your ear right up to the monitors. They also have a delayed muting circuit on startup, avoiding loud thumps when powering them up along-id a mixer via a power distribution unit.

The Yamaha HS8S Active Subwoofer is designed to partner seamlessly with other HS series active monitors but thanks to the internal crossover can be used with monitors from any brand! Add some deep extension to your monitoring; vital if you're mixing for computer games, TV and film. High-performance Speakers and Mounting System The HS8i has those mounting focuses however is generally practically indistinguishable. The recurrence reaction differs somewhat relying upon the enhancement setting, albeit the fluctuations aren't particularly significant.An untreated, boxy room is likely to experience negative effects like standing waves and sound pressure issues. If you experience new issues after installing your first subwoofer, you might need to recalibrate your system, your room, or both. You might also need additional acoustic treatment in the space. Here’s a deeper dive on that topicfrom Producer Hive.
