Yamaha Hs Series Computer Speakers Music Production

Almost a perfect fit for my Yamaha HS-8s.

I was looking for some monitors for my music production system, and found these Yamaha HS8 were just right. They are not too big, and just the right size to place on either side of my keyboards. The sound is clear and they have the right connections on the back.

I am very impressed my my new Yamaha speakers.

These cables work great on my Yamaha HS 80 M's

Previously had a dedicated Yamaha outdoor amplifier to drive our SpeakerCraft OE8 outdoor speakers on our rear deck. Replaced with Sonos Amp. Although it's pricey, it sounds awesome and the big advantage is we can play the same music in our living room Sonos 5's as the outdoor speakers. So we can enjoy the same music in both locations. Very easy to install and set up. Sounds awesome.

I bought a pair during 2014 Holiday season here. I was shopping for good sound speakers for a while and actually listened to Yamaha HS8 in @. After the wonderful holiday discount, Adam is still twice as costly as Yamaha's. But boy, the sound! I'm glad I didn't buy Yamaha earlier. The money is well spent on Adam. I'm not a musician. I simply need active speakers to listen to music, mostly classic and vocal and some pop/jazz/country, basically everything except heavy metal or hiphop. I adjusted the low and high in the back and put them on good stands behind my desk and put my head at the sweet spot per instructions, then the clear and full spectrum sound just keep flowing in straight to my soul. I had B&W DM603 floor standing speakers before. I also have Sennheiser HD600 headphone (which I paid over half a grand a few year back). I feel that Adam is the most clear sound in both high and mid, for both instrument and human voices. Adam's low easily beats both. Front base port probably helps a bit here. It's not just the quantity, it's more about the quality of the base - very clean zero distortion base that simply surrounds me all over when listening to well recorded music. People say studio monitors are flat so may not be suitable for normal music listening. Well, comparing to B&W, I like this pair better. I never feel they add to or take away anything from the music. In fact, I start to notice some music details that I didn't know existed before. I like Yamaha HS8 too, especially its warmer rendition of human voices. But overall Adam's clarity/cleanliness throughout the sound range easily set itself apart.5 stars indeed.

Using the speakers for house music production where low end is very important. Coming from a pair of KRKs that were really lacking in the low range, I am extremely pleased with the Mackies. They are quite large, bigger than I expected but look really nice. They can go quite loud with ease and work great at lower level providing a nice deepness and soft sound. The tweeters sounded a bit odd to me at first but now I think I have already adapted. There are multiple settings in the back that allow you to adjust to the level you are most comfortable with. Overall a great product and received less than two days after I ordered it!

I needed a new main computer for my music production studio. I was not sure whether to buy this or the 2.93 12-core. I did some research and everything pointed to processor speed trumping core count in heavy DAW use. It is true. This machine outperforms a friends 2.93 12-core in plugin/Virtual instrument count in both Logic and Cubase. The only downside is that you are limited to a max of 24GB of RAM (using 8GB sticks) to still get the triple channel functionality. But that's still quite a lot.

I have a dell inspiron 3847, came with 8 gig of ram. I'm using it for music production, cubase and a lot of vst instruments. Well the day came to add more ram. Because this computer is a bit older, it maxes out at 16 gig. The Crucial 16GB DDR3 1600, was the only thing I could find for an upgrade. These specs are not the fastest, but the mother board would not accept DDR4. Swapping the ram was easy. On restart the computer recognized there was a hardware change, went to settings and ran a diagnostic, than restarted and works great. OS Windows 10 64bit. If your doing music production, I recommend 32GB or more if your computer will accept it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am building my computer for music production and this was one of the missing pieces I needed to finish my build. I’ve been looking for extra ram to give my computer the storage it needs to run my music programs without stalling. It was easy to install and works great. Im sure this product will last.
