Yamaha HS3 Monitors Black (Pair)

The Yamaha HS3 Monitors represent a pair of studio monitors designed for desktop and home studio use, embodying the acclaimed sound signature of the HS-series in a compact and lightweight format. Delivering the same accuracy and full-range response as their larger counterparts, the HS3 monitors consist of one powered and one passive unit, creating a portable and versatile monitor pair suitable for musicians, audio engineers, and producers, characterized by a robust build quality. These monitors facilitate connectivity with smartphones, tablets, and laptops through a stereo minijack input, feature an RCA output for DJ controllers, mixers, and turntables, and include dual combo inputs for studio equipment such as audio interfaces or converters.

The HS3 achieves its comprehensive frequency response through a meticulous combination of a 3.5-inch woofer and a 0.75-inch tweeter, ensuring a balanced and even sound within its compact enclosure. The removable design of the drivers allows for easy maintenance or replacement for full repairs. Additionally, these monitors incorporate a flared rear bass port, delivering bass extension without distortion, along with a switchable room control attenuation for lowering bass response when positioned near walls. They also offer a high-frequency control feature to tailor the audio output to your room's acoustics.

Thanks to their remarkably compact design and lightweight build, the HS3 studio monitors bring Yamaha's renowned balanced and full sound, synonymous with their beloved studio monitor range, to desktop setups, home studios, and portable production environments. The single amplified speaker significantly reduces the overall weight, almost matching that of a single HS5 speaker. This configuration ensures adaptability and usability in any space without compromising the high-quality sound associated with Yamaha monitors.

Versatile Connectivity
Catering to a wide range of users, including home recording musicians, DJs, producers, audio engineers, touring bands, broadcast mixers, and even casual listeners, gamers, and party enthusiasts, the HS3 studio monitors offer comprehensive connectivity options for various occasions. The stereo minijack input facilitates direct connections with smartphones, tablets, or laptops, making them ideal for tasks such as editing, party entertainment, software-based DJing, or beatmaking. The RCA input enables seamless integration with turntables and DJ equipment, while the dual combo XLR/TRS inputs ensure quick setup with audio interfaces, mixers, and recorders. Regardless of your setup or purpose, these monitors are well-equipped to accommodate it.

Balanced Sound in a Compact Package
Despite their smaller size, the HS3 monitors maintain the same sound profile as the rest of Yamaha's HS-series. They deliver a detailed and full sound that competes with larger counterparts, providing a consistent and familiar listening experience for those acquainted with the series. Thanks to their high-quality 3.5-inch woofers, 0.75-inch tweeters, and a flared rear port designed to enhance bass without distortion, the HS3 monitors deliver a powerful performance that exceeds expectations given their compact form.
