Yamaha HS3 Active Studio Monitors, Black

Yamaha HS3 Active Studio Monitors, Black Overview

HS Series speakers have become the standard in studio monitors, trusted for many years by the world’s top audio engineers, producers, and artists.

Compact and portable

Yamaha has redefined their essence in a compact housing. The HS3 and HS4 are powerful tools to help create a wide range of audio content—from music production to video editing—that meets the expectations of creators who have limited space and need to keep the volume down but do not want to compromise on monitoring quality.

The compact size of the HS3 and HS4 was possible thanks to the highly efficient class-D amp. Using one amp for two speakers has enabled us to both reduce the weight of the speakers and simplify the cable connections.

Inputs an controls to fit any use case

The rear panel of the HS3 and HS4 is equipped with combination XLR/TRS phone, RCA, and stereo mini jacks, al- lowing you to connect to a wide range of professional and consumer equipment such as computers, audio interfaces, audio mixers, and electronic instruments. The most commonly used features—power, volume, and headphone jack—are located on the front for easy access.

Sound that is always true to the original

The HS3 and HS4 continue the design philosophy and know-how of previous Yamaha studio monitors. No effort has been spared in the pursuit of the optimal product, and the resulting speakers comprise carefully selected parts such as a high-performance class-D amp, a highly resilient MDF cabinet, and woofers and soft dome tweeters that deliver a sound that is faithful to the source despite their small size. They also feature proprietary “Twisted Flare Port” technology that reduces air turbulence noise in the bass reflex port, providing clear and accurate bass.
