Honest studio sound for compact home setups

The Yamaha HS3 powered studio monitors give you a clear, true-to-source sound so you hear your music, podcasts or video edits exactly as they are, without any artificial boost to the bass or treble.

Each cabinet houses its own woofer and soft dome tweeter, driven by an efficient class-D amp that delivers plenty of punch from a small footprint. The twisted flare port design cuts down on the chuffing noise you often get from bass ports, so low end stays tight and controlled rather than boomy. Whether you are mixing a track, editing dialogue or just listening back to a recording, you get a flat, uncoloured response across the whole range, which makes it much easier to spot problems in a mix before you commit to them.

Room control and high trim switches on the back let you tame excess bass if the speakers sit close to a wall or in a smaller room, so you are not fighting the acoustics of your desk or bedroom studio. Front-mounted power, volume and headphone controls keep the everyday adjustments within easy reach, and the white finish works well on a modern desktop setup. Combination XLR/TRS, RCA and mini-jack inputs mean you can connect an audio interface, mixer, computer or instrument without hunting for adapters.
