HS8 Studio Subwoofer, Black

Nice

Heart breaking bass.

It is not going even below 45 hertz . As per the spec it is capable of producing sound upto 22 hertz, but it's not in real.

Un increíble complemento para tus Yamaha Siente el poder de los bajos , definitivamente debes tener uno

For years and years I rocked my HS8 without a sub, thinking the extra 20hz below that 43hz of the HS8 wouldn't make such a difference. Or thinking it would be complicated to calibrate. Oh boy was I super wrong. This is the easiest speaker calibration setup I ever had to do. Just follow the manual, then set each volume knob to 12 o'clock, lowcut at around 100hz and job done. That extra below 43hz also truly make a difference. When you add up that our HS# can now focus only on the mid and the highs, leaving the lows to the sub, oh boy oh boy, damn the whole set just so even better. So much that even tho our HS# already sounded and worked good for over a decade, you'll still be surprised at how good they can truly shine. You'll wonder why did you ever used them without their sub to begin with. If you thought they packed a punch, be ready to be surprised at how punchy they are now. Flatter response, tight bass, warm mids and crispy highs.

This is pro-level equipmant, my friends. It has it all - accuracy, noise free, frequency response, connectivity, and all the controls you need to dial it in to match your monitors. I've been at this for 15 years. Yamaha knows sound. Everything I've ever purchased from them, which is considerable, is well thought out by actual engineers and beautifully executed. This sub is no exception. For it's level of quality it is not expensive at all, but if you're an enthusiastic amateur like myself you'll feel a little pinch to the pocketbook. When it comes to Yamaha, you truly get what you pay for. You'll love this thing for many, many years.

Best subwoofer I've ever used. If you're wondering whether (i) a subwoofer matters to your home studio, or (ii) whether this particular subwoofer will make a HUGE difference to your home studio, the answer is YES!!!!! Great power, nice tight sound, no unnatural booms, exceptionally solid construction, excellent crossover and retains imaging and detail beautifully Not only does it give you incredible bass performance, keeping the low end out of your near field monitors (using the low cut control) allows them to perform much better in the frequency range where they perform best. I've tried it in a large studio and in a small project studio I use for mixing and mastering and it sounds incredible in both. I've paired it with Genelecs, mackies and a pair of B&W monitors (don't laugh, they sound great and have a very natural flat frequency response) and it was everything I could have ever hoped for. I upgraded from another brand that had a larger front-facing driver because I needed a slightly smaller form factor for the project studio, and was skeptical as to whether it was powerful enough paired with a 200/side watt BGW reference amp or whether I was wasting a bit of money because I could have gotten a lot of subs that cost less, and there is absolutely no question that it was worth every penny. I have to keep it down at about 4 even with the BGW clocked at 10. If you can afford it, buy it. If not, save up for it. One last lesson learned: I used a very direct signal path this time going direct from my universal audio interface into the HS8 and am extremely pleased by how much clearer the sound is and how much detail is retained as opposed to running it into a Mackie Big Knob first (as much as I like the Big Knob, the fewer things you put in your signal path the better).

Este subwoofer cambió por completo mi forma de escuchar lo que grabo, mezclo, toco, o simplemente escucho por descanso. Cubrió ese rango de frecuencias en el que los monitores solos no son suficientes (uso los HS5, también de Yamaha).
