Product description Yamaha HS8S

The active subwoofer with an 8-inch bass reflex system provides clear and precise bass reproduction and is specifically designed for professional use in sound studios. With its impressive frequency response down to 22 Hz, it expands the sound spectrum and ensures that even the deepest details of an audio signal are audible.

Thanks to its specially designed 150-watt amplifier, which is perfectly tuned to the requirements of bass frequencies, the device delivers powerful and precise performance. Particularly when paired with the Yamaha HS studio monitor series, it fully unleashes its potential by expanding the bass foundation and making the sound overall more balanced.

Setting up the subwoofer is well thought-out and efficient. The phase switch enables easy system integration without the need for additional devices. The adjustable low-cut and high-cut controls allow the frequency range to be flexibly adjusted between 80 and 120 Hz, enabling optimal tuning to the room or setup.

The sturdy MDF enclosure with bass reflex design minimizes unwanted resonances and ensures clean sound reproduction. With various connection options, including balanced XLR and jack inputs as well as XLR outputs for L, R, and EXT SUB, the subwoofer can be easily integrated into existing audio systems.

The subwoofer reliably extends the low-frequency range, allowing for critical decisions in precise monitoring, as well as for mixing and mastering music productions. With its combination of power, flexibility, and ease of use, it is a reliable choice for anyone who values a deep bass foundation.

Geiles Teil :)

Meine HS5 waren schon sehr gut, aber die Kombination mit dem Subwoofer, das ist ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht.
Beim Preis musste ich schon etwas schlucken, aber nachdem ich ihn in Aktion gehört habe, würde ich ihn nicht wieder hergeben!
Einfach nur der Wahnsinn das Teil.

perfekt, aber teuer

Perfekte Ergänzung zu meinen HS5, die mir untenrum etwas schwach auf der Brust waren. Für Elektro muss ich halt etwas mehr Bass hören und spüren, um die richtige Dosis beim mischen zu finden. Hier ist der Woofer perfekt abgestimmt aber leider teurer als ein paar Monitore zusammen.

toll

Also 6€ mehr für diesen Subwoofer zahlen als bei allen anderen Online-Läden, dafür hat man aber die
Versandkosten extra zu entrichten - makes perfect sense, ich weiss eh nich, wohin mit der vielen Kohle. :-)
