Members cynics1207 Posted September 3, 2005 Members Share Posted September 3, 2005 New HS Series Monitors from Yamaha http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2005/HS50M-HS80M-HS10W-lg.jpg September 2, 2005 The HS Series is a two-way, internally powered speaker system designed to provide reference monitoring for all types of recording and multimedia applications--home studios, computer-based music production, gaming systems, keyboards rigs and personal computer systems. Three cabinet models, the HS50M (MSRP $249.95), HS80M (MSRP $449.95) and HS10W (MSRP $599) subwoofer will be available in October 2005 and will replace current model MSP10 Studio. All products are sold and packaged individually, making it easy to build flexible monitor setups and 5.1 systems. The 70-watt HS50M (5-in. cone and 3/4-in. dome tweeter) and 120-watt HS80M (8-in. cone and 1-in. dome tweeter) are housed in bass reflex-type cabinets, and reproduce surprisingly tight low end and smooth, high frequency response to beyond 20 kHz. Inputs include a balanced XLR and 1/4-in. phone jack. In addition to master level controls, each speaker has trim switches that allow you to custom-tailor low, mid and high frequency response for different applications. The HS10W powered subwoofer contains a long-stroke, 8-in. 120-watt woofer and bass reflex design cabinet that maintains high efficiency and low distortion. Connections include dual XLR and 1/4-in. inputs, and three balanced XLR outputs (Mix, L&R). Controls include master level, phase and low/high cutoff frequency. The HS10W complements the HS speakers, and easily handles today's bass-enhanced music or the most dramatic surround effects. HS Series enclosures are constructed of MDF material and a multiple layer finish that minimizes resonance. Design elements include a black finish and lighted Yamaha tuning fork logo. White polypropylene woofer cones recall the look of the classic Yamaha NS10M, and include low-damping rubber surrounds and full magnetic shielding.

Members TBush Posted September 3, 2005 Members Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well, thankfully I still have my NS-10's with plenty of replacement drivers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cynics1207 Posted September 3, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 3, 2005 I've used a pair of NS-10M 5 years ago, now i've used a pair Event ASP8 to replace the NS-10M, i love the Event ASP8 sound flat and honest, but i still miss the sound come from the 'craby' ns10m, just wonder how this new hs80m will sound like ns10m??

Members where02190 Posted September 3, 2005 Members Share Posted September 3, 2005 They'll be prying NS-10's from my cold stiff hands. They sound like crap, but if it sounds good on the 10's it'll work everywhere, and I still have not found a speaker that translates as well. Like TBush, I have s couple sets of replacement 10's in safe storage ready to go when I need them, more than enough to last longer than my hearing.

Members cynics1207 Posted September 3, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 3, 2005 Yes, i also notice about this goodness on NS10M when doing mixing, but we just have to take care on the lower range respon on the final mixdown before we send for mastering..if they sound right on ns10, they will sound right..hehe:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members where02190 Posted September 4, 2005 Members Share Posted September 4, 2005 The source for the pulp for the cones dried up about 3 years ago, which is why Yamaha discontinued the line. You can still get woofers, but they are becoming very very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
