This second generation of HS8 nearfield reference monitors, like their predecessors, share the same design philosophy as the legendary NS-10M studio monitors – to provide accurate signal reproduction and superior sonic performance. A wide, balanced frequency response ensures these are suitable for a wide range of genres and musical styles, whilst offering a more bassy, low-end response perfect for larger studio rooms or electronic musicians. However, keep in mind that in a room or studio without previous acoustic treatment, the HS8 bass output will not be adequate either!

The wrap isn’t as durable as it could be and is easily chipped, but the cabinets are otherwise sturdy enough with neatly rounded edges and inset driver surrounds.Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that the HS8 Active Monitor Speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum. Conclusion: there must have been some sort of compatibility issue with my old E-MU sound card, as from the moment I installed Focusrite - no problems whatsover. ROOM CONTROL allows you to attenuate the unnatural, exaggerated low-end that can often occur when speakers are placed next to walls, while HIGH TRIM allows for more flexible control of high frequency response.
