Accuracy - There Is No Substitute

The Yamaha HS7 active studio monitor will help you make better-sounding recordings. Yamaha's nearfield monitors with those iconic white-coned woofers have been ubiquitous in top studios worldwide ever since the original NS-10s hit the scene in the late '70s. Yamaha (never content to rest on its laurels) has continuously developed and perfected, resulting in HS series monitors with newly designed bi-amplified drivers and scientifically ported enclosures that deliver amazing accuracy and vanishingly low coloration. Don't mix in the dark. Nail what you're after without the guesswork, with Yamaha's HS7.

    Yamaha HS7 Active Studio Monitor at a Glance:
  • High-performance drivers and mounting system
  • Beefy magnets; Advanced Magnetic Circuit design
  • Optimum response in any room
High-performance drivers and mounting system

The drivers used in the HS series monitors deliver superb audio performance that is considerably enhanced by a sophisticated mounting system. A scientific arrangement of screws and a specially designed mounting ring eliminates unwanted vibration and resonance, letting the speaker realize its full sonic potential, without distortion or coloration. Yamaha selects their magnets to optimize solid low-end response. Tweeter frames use an advanced smooth-contour design that minimizes losses, letting you hear high-frequency details with stunning accuracy. The extra thick tweeter frame also diminishes resonance that can interfere with treble clarity. The bottom line? Smooth, accurate response throughout the audio spectrum. And that translates to better-sounding recordings for you.

Beefy magnets; Advanced Magnetic Circuit design

HS series monitors rock extra large magnets. Why is this important? Glad you asked! In concert with the HS7's advanced magnetic circuit design, these beefy magnets deliver a robust, uniform, and tightly controlled flux field that yields exceedingly smooth response and dynamic efficiency over a wider frequency range.

Optimum response in any room

HS series monitors deliver outstanding monitoring performance, enabling you to get your mixes just right. Even better, you can take your accurate monitoring on the road. The HS7 boasts room-control and high-trim response controls that let you tailor your monitors to your room for optimal response. So whether you're in a control room or in a cramped remote truck, you'll always be able to trust your monitoring.

Yamaha HS7 Active Studio Monitor Features:
  • High-performance drivers and mounting system
  • 6.5" cone woofer, 1" dome tweeter
  • Large magnets in an Advanced Magnetic Circuit design
  • Built-in bi-amplification: 60W LF, 35W HF
  • Dedicated power amps are perfectly matched to the woofer and tweeter
  • Enclosure is designed to kill unwanted resonances that can influence sound
  • Room-control and high-trim response controls give you optimum response in any room

My story.

Quick version... 40+ year guitar player whose only concern about speakers was in my guitar amps (Fender) and my home stereo (Klipsch). Then at the young age of 60 I discovered DAWs (GarageBand and Logic) and suddenly my Tascam 4 track cassette was a little tired. Needing a speaker source I began with Mackie CR3s and KRK ST6s, both suitable. Gettting educated I knew I wanted a powered speaker with more horsepower. The HS7s fit the bill perfectly. Plenty of bottom without needing a sub. Crystal duplication of my crappy vocals and enhancement of what I consider to be heavenly guitar tones. These monitors are exactly what I had pictured. Clarity and accurate reproduction and a relatively small footprint based on other options. Thanks to my sales engineer, Brian Hughes, for answering what must have seemed like incessant questions. My kids better treat me well since I expect these will outlive me, but I get to decide who gets them!
Music background: Ex semi pro. Home studio recording.

Clarity and Depth. Everything I wanted in Reference Monitors

Just excellent. I worked in A Studio where NS 10s where the thing. (And they were ). Later I had my own Mackie HR 824s which were good . Very flat. Then I stopped recording for A while, went back to it and picked up these. I have them placed right next to small Genelecs. The Yamahas just bring out everything from the highs and the lows, the loud and the soft in the same program material. It's beautiful when you can hear things like A delay on a track fade to a whisper. I am amazed everyday I use these well crafted products of fine engineering.

Yamaha HS7 Monitors

We all know studio monitors come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. My Sweetwater rep was nice enough to discuss options with me and suggested these as being the most bang for the buck. They're very sturdy and well made and I'm very pleased with the sound. I plan on using them for mixing, but for now they're used as a home powered speaker for playing guitar with my Helix floor model. Very pleased so far and I recommend if you're looking for a quality mid-range priced set of monitors.
Rated 5/5

Best monitor for the price on the market.

Great sounding reference monitors especially for the price! And being Yamaha the quality is excellent too!
Music background: Musician since childhood, played in bands since mid 60’s and have a recording desk. I don’t say studio since it’s far from what constitutes a professional recording studio.
