Yamaha HS Series Studio Monitors – Unmatched Accuracy for Professional Mixing

For producers, engineers, and creators who demand absolute accuracy, the Yamaha HS Series delivers one of the most honest and reliable monitoring experiences available today. Carrying forward the philosophy of the legendary NS-10M and Yamaha’s long history of uncoloured, reference-grade monitoring, the HS Series is built around one core principle: true sonic purity.

Unlike monitors that artificially enhance bass or hype high frequencies, the HS Series is engineered to reproduce sound exactly as it is—allowing you to make better decisions, produce cleaner mixes, and achieve professional-level results that translate across any system.

Key Features

Uncompromising Accuracy & Linear Response

The HS Series shares the same design philosophy of Yamaha’s historic studio reference monitors, offering flat frequency response, high resolution, and an exceptionally clear sound image. This transparency ensures every mix decision is based on accurate and honest playback—not flattering coloration.

Advanced Transducer Design

1" Dome Tweeter

• Newly designed high-efficiency 1" tweeter

• Thick waveguide minimises vibration and distortion

• Smooth, natural high-end response extending up to 30 kHz

Responsive Low-Frequency Woofer

• Newly engineered woofer with large, carefully selected magnets

• Fast response, tight low-end, and clear midrange

• Low distortion even at high volume levels

These redesigned components produce seamless sonic transitions and superb accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum.

High-Performance Bi-Amp System

Each HS model features a dedicated bi-amp design, with separate amplifiers for the woofer and tweeter. This ensures optimal power distribution and consistent performance, delivering:

• Cleaner highs

• More controlled lows

• Exceptionally flat, reliable sound for mixing and mastering

Low-Resonance Cabinet Construction

Yamaha engineers apply over a century of woodworking expertise to create enclosures that eliminate unwanted resonance.

• Dense MDF construction

• Traditional three-way mitered-joint design for enhanced strength

• Improved durability and vibration reduction

The result: cleaner sound, improved clarity, and a more faithful representation of your audio.

Noise-Reducing Port Design

Using advanced airflow analysis, Yamaha refined the HS port structure to reduce air turbulence and port noise by up to 6dB.
This ensures tighter low-end accuracy and greater clarity at all playback levels.

Flexible Controls & Connectivity

The HS Series adapts to any studio environment.
Room Control: attenuates excessive low-end when placed near walls
High Trim: adjusts high-frequency response to match room acoustics

Compatible with a wide range of professional and consumer gear via:

• XLR inputs

• TRS 1/4" jacks

Subwoofer models (HS8S) add:

• High-cut filter control

• Phase switch

• Low-cut filter & controls (80Hz–120Hz)

• XLR inputs/outputs for seamless system integration
