Yamaha HS7 6.5" Powered Studio Monitor (Each)

Yamaha's revolutionary HS7 nearfield studio monitor delivers Yamaha's signature mix-translation accuracy that audio engineers and producers have relied on for decades. With the inherited legacy of the iconic NS-10s and distinctive white cones, the HS7 provides transparent sonic honesty for professional studios and passionate home producers. The bi-amplified 6.5" cone woofer and 1" dome tweeter are powered by an integrated amplifier perfectly matched to the speaker units for optimized performance. Adjustable room control and high-frequency trim switches allow for custom tailoring to any monitoring environment.

High-Performance Speakers for Unparalleled Accuracy

The HS7's elegant white-cone speakers are mounted to a vibration-eliminating system for full sonic potential. The woofer's oversized magnet provides tight, controlled bass response while the tweeter's advanced frame minimizes high-frequency loss for remarkable clarity. The result is smooth, precise audio across the spectrum.

Built-in Bi-amplification for Superior Sound

As powered bi-amplified monitors, the HS7 offers the convenience of not needing external amplifiers while ensuring the amplifiers are optimized for the speaker units. Separate amplifiers for the woofer and tweeter eliminate interaction and passive crossover phase issues, allowing both units to perform at their best for high sonic quality.

Advanced Magnetic Design for Wide, Dynamic Range

The HS7's oversized magnets and advanced magnetic circuit design produce a powerful, uniform magnetic field for exceptionally smooth, wide-range response and dynamic capability.

Room Control and High-Frequency Trim for Optimal Response

With adjustable room control and high trim switches, the HS7 provides versatility for any monitoring environment. The room control compensates for low-end exaggeration from wall or corner placement, while the high trim adjusts high-frequency response. These controls allow for tailored performance no matter the setup.

You don't have to be a professional to appreciate that not all speakers are created equal. However, if you are a pro, or even just a hobbyist with high standards, nothing less than a proper high-end studio monitor is good enough for your recording setup. Monitors have a very important job: accurate reproduction of sound in situations where every note, each sample and every vocal are absolutely crucial. When you're recording, you need a speaker more precise than any you'll expect the sound to be played back on if you want to make sure it will sound right on every system.

What sets powered studio monitors apart from unpowered ones is that they have their own built-in amplifier. That means they don't need an amp head to power them—you can just plug a powered monitor directly into an electrical outlet, hook it up to an audio source, and you'll get sound. This ease of use makes powered monitors a great choice for studios just getting off the ground that don't have an amplifier head on hand. They're also perfect if you're an audiophile, providing the best sound quality with a home stereo system. Since the amplifier in a powered monitor is specifically designed for the speakers it shares its cabinet with, it also takes some of the guesswork out of putting together a studio setup. There are still a few things to think about, though. Mainly, you'll want to be sure the monitors are a good size for the application.

If you're working out of a very small studio, then you can get by with a compact set. If you're using them as stereo speakers or in a big studio space, then look at some larger monitors instead. It's also a smart idea to match the speaker configuration of the monitors with the type of music you'll be working with—for example, if you're recording hip-hop with deep, thumping bass, the ideal monitor will probably be one with a big woofer that can best handle those heavy low frequencies. No matter how you plan to use your powered monitors, from the studio to recreational listening to the sound booth, they're a choice as individual as the hardware and software you connect them to. Take your time when looking at the available choices, and look for the monitors that fit your space, your style and your budget.
