What is the Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitor?
The Yamaha HS8 is an 8-inch, 2-way bi-amplified powered studio monitor designed for high-accuracy reference monitoring. It features a 120W total output, a 1-inch dome tweeter, and an 8-inch cone woofer. Built with Room Control and High Trim response controls, it delivers a flat, "honest" frequency response from 38Hz to 30kHz. It is the industry-standard choice for professional mixing and mastering in the UAE. Available at Gigstore.
The Yamaha HS8 is the flagship of the HS series, built on the legacy of the legendary NS-10M. Available at Gigstore, these monitors are designed to give you the most honest reference possible. Unlike consumer speakers that flatter your music, the HS8 is engineered to reveal every detail of your mix, ensuring your production translates perfectly across all playback systems in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and beyond.
To achieve its signature transparency, the HS8 utilizes a bi-amplified design, providing 75W to the woofer and 45W to the tweeter. This dedicated power ensures high-resolution sound and a flat response across the entire spectrum. The MDF enclosure is constructed with a three-way mitered-joint technique to eliminate unwanted resonance, providing a rock-solid sonic foundation for critical listening in UAE studio environments.
Every studio space is different, and the HS8 provides the tools to adapt. The Room Control switch allows you to attenuate exaggerated low-end caused by placing speakers near walls, while the High Trim switch gives you flexible control over high-frequency response. Whether you are in a small home studio or a large professional suite, these controls ensure you hear your music exactly as it is.

As the UAE’s premier source for professional studio equipment, Gigstore ensures your monitoring setup is world-class. When you purchase the Yamaha HS8 from us, you get:
Do I need a subwoofer with the HS8?
With a low-end reaching down to 38Hz, the HS8 provides plenty of bass for most genres. However, for hip-hop or EDM production in the UAE, adding the Yamaha HS8S subwoofer will provide that extra sub-frequency accuracy.
Are these sold as a pair?
Studio monitors are typically sold individually to allow for 2.1, 5.1, or 7.1 configurations. At Gigstore, we recommend purchasing a pair for a standard stereo monitoring setup.
What cables do I need for the HS8?
The HS8 accepts balanced XLR or 1/4" TRS cables. We recommend using high-quality balanced cables to prevent noise and interference in your studio signal path.
