Yamaha HS7 Studio Monitor (black)

Product Information

For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world’s best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The only slight negative is that the power switches are on the rear of the unit which can be a little clumsy to reach depending on your setup. The Yamaha HS series of active nearfield monitors are an ideal choice for anyone looking for affordable and reliable equipment. I have them sitting on some t-akustic Insulators to eliminate any boom from the desk unit they are on top of.

The range of adjustable presets on the rear of each speaker allow you to very quickly and easily 'dial in' to your room.Jack inputs offer versatile inputs from your soundcard or audio interface, whilst Room and High Frequency controls on the rear of the monitor allow you to tailor the response of your speakers depending on your room size and shape. On their own, the HS7s have enough low-end extension to work perfectly well without a sub in a typical home studio. By adopting an advanced noise reduction technology that incorporates a thorough analysis of a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex.

The HIGH TRIM switch allows you to control how much top end is produced and if your monitors are placed near walls you can adjust the ROOM CONTROL switch to reduce unnatural low-end. These transducers utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions.

Great care has been taken to ensure accuracy in the preparation of this article but neither Sound On Sound Limited nor the publishers can be held responsible for its contents. The White HS7 features a newly designed, highly efficient 1" dome tweeter that extends the usable frequency range considerably and delivers superb high-resolution sound. Utilizing a thick wave guide designed to minimize vibration the new tweeter is able to deliver smooth, distortion-free high end up to 30 kHz. In my own view the sub would be best combined with the HS5s as the HS7s already have enough low end for most small spaces (they are specified as covering 43Hz to 30kHz, but where the studio is garage-sized or bigger the HS7/sub combination would be appropriate.

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. We insist on complete fidelity to the original sound and the ability to reproduce the subtle changes of tone and position in the mix, and these principles are exemplified in the HS series that appeared in 2005 with its bright white cones. As high-bit and high-sampling-rate continue as trends in the field of music production, leading to an increasing need for high-quality nearfield monitors, these speakers deliver the high-quality sound and accuracy that are ideal for the studio environment. Whether in a recording or mixing situation, Yamaha's HS series offers faithful sound reproduction, making it an ideal speaker for the home or project studio.

Often a vortex at the either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside of the port, causing unwanted noise. You have studio monitors that strive for flatness (JBL, Genelec, etc) and then you have monitors like these that are intentionally doing something else.

The highly efficient 1“ dome tweeter featured in each of the HS Series speakers extends the usable frequency range, delivering high-resolution sound.
