Warning message

Submissions for this form are closed.

Need more bass response from your monitors? Here's your chance to bag a superb pair of HS7 active monitors plus the HS8S subwoofer (prize bundle worth £1,026$1,050), courtesy of Yamaha Pro Audio.

Yamaha ought to know a thing or two about making monitors. They’ve been making them since the ‘70s, after all, and are responsible for one of the most revered studio monitors of all time: the NS10, released in 1978.

Apart from the white cone, however, their HS series is a very different beast. While the NS10 was most often used as a secondary reference monitor, owing to its bass-light reproduction and forward midrange, the HS series have been designed to be the only monitor you’ll need.

The HS7 is based around a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter, powered by 75 and 45 Watts, respectively. Built into a rigid, ported MDF cabinet, the whole assembly boasts an impressive 43Hz-30kHz (-10dB) frequency response, which on its own should easily fill out all but the most capacious control rooms.

The HS series have been designed to be the only monitor you’ll need.

Reaching down even further, the HS8S subwoofer employs an 8-inch cone powered by a 150W amp to extend the system’s total response right down to 22Hz. What’s more, integrating the HS7 and subwoofer is a breeze, thanks to the HS8S’s reversable polarity and variable low- and high-pass filters. The HS7 isn’t short of user control either, with its ±2dB adjustment of HF sensitivity and a three-position switch to optimise its performance according to room placement.

To be in with a chance of winning this powerful monitoring setup, all you have to do is visit the URL shown, and answer the questions there, by 13th September 2021. Good luck!!
