The HS7 Powered Studio Monitor from Yamaha is a bi-amplified monitor that is designed for accurate sound reproduction. It is capable of up to 95W of total output and features a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter with waveguide that can produce frequencies up to 30kHz. The HS7 has both an XLR and 1/4" TRS input that accept either balanced or unbalanced signals for integration into a variety of studio setups.

HS Series cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the

accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures are constructed from

a dense MDF with a damped acoustic response. HS Series engineers also employed a traditional three-way mitered-joint technique. Common to architectural design, this construction firmly anchors the corners of the enclosure to improve durability and eliminate unwanted resonance that can influence overall sound

Speaker port design can greatly influence the clarity of overall sound. Often a vortex at the either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside of the port, causing unwanted noise. By adopting a noise reduction technology that incorporates an analysis of

a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex. Through this analysis Yamaha has arrived at a port design that reduces noise up to 6dB

HS Series full-range models feature two response controls with settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. ROOM CONTROL allows you to

attenuate the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur when speakers are placed

next to walls, while HIGH TRIM allows for more flexible control of high frequency response.

For inputs, HS full-range speakers can accommodate a range of balanced and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone jacks

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. The location I'd like to put this sub would require it to go on its side, with the port on the bottom. I would plan on having it on top of a foam subwoofer pad to decouple it. Would this be stable in that orientation?

A: Yes, it is possible to position the KRK S8.4 Powered Studio Subwoofer with the port on the bottom and it will be stable in this orientation.

Q: 2. What are the main differences between the KRK 12s and the KRK S12.4? Which one is better for studio use and DJing.

A: The KRK KRK12s 12" 200W Front-Firing Active Subwoofer (BH # KRK12S) has been discontinued and is no longer available for sale. The KRK S12.4 Powered 12" Studio Subwoofer (BH # KRS124NA) is more powerful and features a wider frequency response. It will get louder without distortion. An optimized four-position crossover control has been added to this fourth generation iteration of KRK's 12" subwoofers. Both of these subs are designed for studio use. Audio engineers, studio musicians, and audio enthusiasts looking for a high-quality active subwoofer to extend the low frequencies of their monitor setup will be thrilled with the KRK S12.4, a fourth-generation powered studio subwoofer that delivers tight defined bass with remarkable transient performance, control, and punch. Adding this subwoofer to your 2.1 setup or 5.1 surround environment will optimize your mixing and listening experience.

Q: 3. Do you have to buy two, or do they come as a set?

A: You must but two, I purchased six plus two hs8 ,and I'm loveing'it,like most just can't understand!

Q: 4. Can you connect your iphone directly to these monitors since they are "active"? thank you

A: The Yamaha HS7 studio monitors are powered and a source can be directly conected into them.The Hosa Technology Stereo Mini (3.5mm) Male to 2 Mono 1/4" Male Insert Y-Cable - 10,' BH #HOYCSMM2PM10 would be an appropriate cable for this application.

Q: 5. does it come in singles when u purchase or I need to get two for stereo monitoring?

A: The Yamaha HS7 are sold individually.

Q: 6. Are the HS7 monitors suitable for voice over and narrative work for video?

A: Yes, absolutely. The HS7 monitors are designed to deliver accurate response within the frequency range of 43 Hz to 30 kHz which covers a wider span than the human voice for speaking or singing.

Q: 7. Does the high cut knob act as a crossover? Will the frequencies above the set high cut pass through the HS8S's outputs to go to studio monitors?

A: On the HS8 subwoofer, the high cut control sets the highest frequency output from the sub. The Low Cut control will act as the crossover to the monitor speakers and attenuate the low frequencies before outputting to the connected monitors. This can be bypassed or engaged with the on off switch.

Q: 8. Can you turn the sub's volume down and still hear your monitors when connected? Essentially can you bypass the sub when powered on, for just the monitors?

A: Your stereo pair will operate independently of the sub and will not be affected by its volume level. The sub may be bypassed completely as well.

Q: 9. Can any subwoofer be use with these monitors or only the HS8S?

A: The HS8S and HS5 integrate together very well; but most active subwoofers may be used with the Yamaha HS5 monitor speaker.

Q: 10. Is that price for pair? Or single?

A: That price is for a single speaker.
