Yamaha HS7 Studio Monitor (black)

Product Information

woofer, the Yamaha HS 7 is the mid-range model in the HS Series and neatly fills the gap between its two siblings, the HS 5 and HS 8. In 2013, fusing the know-how and cutting-edge analysis technology that we have developed through many years of studio monitor design, and carefully rethinking every element, we announced the next-generation HS series which adds yet more polish to the accuracy of these speakers. HS7 feature two response controls with detailed settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. To sum up, the HS7s are capable of working quite happily without a sub but play nicely with one when necessary. We found no flaws in the acoustics of the studio: thanks to the broadband panels and diffusers as well as corner bass traps, the sound of the studio was absolutely ideal.

The HS8S is impressive for its size, and can help in larger rooms or even smaller spaces where optimum monitor placement isn't possible.The redesigned Yamaha HS7 builds on this legacy by providing similar detail and accuracy, in a more convenient Active enclosure. To make it as easy as possible for you to get the gear you want, we offer a range of instant finance options. I use these studio monitors to mix electronic dance music, mostly House, Electro House, and Dubstep. Acknowledged by professional sound engineers and producers to deliver an unflinchingly honest reflection of your mixes.

Teamed with the sub, the HS7s integrate well using the default 100Hz crossover setting, though I found myself adjusting the sub's contribution down slightly from the detented setting. 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. I´m a guitar player and also fullstack producer, and mixing the mid frequencies has been always a constant pain (guitars, synths, vocals, snares.It also boasts XLR and TRS phone jack inputs, accepting both balanced or unbalanced signals, ideal for routing sound from an audio interface. Jack inputs offer versatile inputs from your soundcard or audio interface, whilst Room and High Frequency controls on the rear of the monitor allow you to tailor the response of your speakers depending on your room size and shape. Both low- and high-cut controls (each variable from 80 to 120 Hz but detented at 100Hz) are fitted to the rear panel for adjusting the crossover frequencies, and there's a low-cut on/off switch, which affects the feed to the main speakers. The HS7 offers high quality and a flat response, so you can hear sounds for what they are, an produce a better mix as a result. The resulting sound is powerful yet refined, ideal for reference-grade audio applications such as mixing and mastering.

The advanced magnetic field design ensures extreme accuracy when it comes to sound reproduction, paramount for mixing and mastering purposes. This includes using them for purposes such as operations, analytics, enhanced user experience, and advertising. Designed to meet the needs (and budget) of the project / home studio market, the White HS7 monitors offer the perfect balance of size vs performance, making them ideal for any mixing situation.Do not place the speakers directly against the wall, place them at least one and a half meters away from it. Their stereo imaging is good, though being critical I did find the overall sound to be less three-dimensional than the speakers I'm used to. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged 18+, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Each of these monitors gives you a true representation of the sound quality, just as a monitor should.

The highly efficient 1“ dome tweeter featured in each of the HS Series speakers extends the usable frequency range, delivering high-resolution sound. I suppose it's like another part of the trash spectrum for those, who can't afford something much better. The bi-amp design contains a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, ensuring consistent high-resolution sound.Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions.
