Yamaha Hs8 8 Active Studio Monitors

Works nice with Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitors

I bought these stands for my studio's Yamaha HS8 monitors. They are great at holding the monitors in the air, in line with my ears, where I can hear them. They have locking pins in case the pressure knobs should fail. I don't have a problem with them wobbling or tipping because I don't bump into them. That's really the secret- be a reasonable human. After all, you just spent a lot of money on those monitors and stands! Don't run around your studio, don't record groups of small children (I'm talking about you Kidz Bop), make sure your mountain of blow is on the other side of the room, etc.- all the basic safety precautions a normal human would take when using expensive technology. These stands hold up your 8 monitors and do not fall down.

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 like a lot, if fits very well under my table and it is almost invisible. I had the Yamaha HS8 Powered monitors for about a year, I thought that were big enough as to render a good bass but now that I have this subwoofer the difference is day and night. I thought that the value is good as well. I mostly do voice-overs and radio commercials.

Wow. Wow. wow. The quality of this DAC is out of this world. I am using this DAC with my Yamaha HS8 powered studio monitor speakers. Before this iFi DAC, I thought I had purchased cheap speakers ($750 for the pair). After installing this DAC, my speakers sound like $7500 speakers. The DAC provides such depth and breadth that you think you are in a real studio with very expensive equipment. even though the front panel has a POWER MATCH and TRUEBASS buttons to enhance the audio, I find the FIXED switch on the back that passes the signal with no enhancement a better option.

I replaced my active monitors with the ELAC speakers and a Yamaha integrated amplifier. Since the ELAC has coaxial arrangement of tweeter + midrange, I felt it would work fine for near field listening. I'm very happy with the result. With nothing playing, the combination of amp with passive speakers has no background hiss. My old monitors had audible hiss and non-defeatable auto-shutoff unless the playback was kept sufficiently loud. I'm using an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the Yamaha amp. I chose ELAC's Satin White with Oak Sides to escape the all-black look of my old monitors.

As a long time user of KRK and Yamaha studio monitors -,I was blown away by the Sound reproduction of the 8010s! ..These little marvels have now replaced both my Yamaha HS5 and KRK rockit 5”s as my go to mixing monitors for music and film projects .,, could not be happier ..

These are actually the best active studio monitors objectively speaking. The best on the face of the planet revolving around the sun

I heard an immediate difference in my mix setup using this sub in addition to my HS8 monitors. If you're thinking about getting one, you should.

The Yamaha HS8 is a fantastic, simple and accurate unit, especially for the price. Matched with the HS8S, this system provides an incredible dynamic range, amazing frequency response (22Hz - 30kHz with sub), and the system blends nearly seamlessly. Worth the extra few dollars over a KRK or alternative entry-level reference monitor.
