The Industry Standard, Ready for Installation: Yamaha HS8I
The Yamaha HS8I brings the legendary accuracy and signature sound of the HS Series to installation environments. This 2-way bass-reflex, bi-amplified nearfield studio monitor is designed to give you the most honest and precise reference possible, and now with integrated mounting points, it's perfect for professional studios, broadcast facilities, and commercial installations.
Like its predecessor, the HS8I features an 8" cone woofer and a 1" dome tweeter, driven by a powerful 120W bi-amp system. This combination delivers an exceptionally flat and accurate response from 38Hz up to 30kHz. The HS8I is built to eliminate unwanted resonance with its dense MDF enclosure, while Yamaha's advanced noise reduction technology in the speaker port ensures a clean and clear sound.
What sets the HS8I apart is its flexible mounting options. With mounting points on 4 surfaces, it is compatible with a variety of optional wall, ceiling, and baton brackets. This, combined with the ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM response controls, allows you to optimize the monitor's performance for any acoustic space, ensuring your mix translates accurately everywhere.
