Setup  
In this section we’ll look at the general procedure for connecting and setting up a monitor speaker system.  
This is just an example though, so feel free to set up your own system in the way that best serves your  
personal listening needs.  
Recommended cables  
For connection to a balanced phone jack input.  
Cables  
You’ll need to acquire appropriate cables to connect  
the HS series monitor speakers to your audio interface  
or other source equipment.  
HS8/HS7/HS5  
or  
• Short, high-quality cables  
Use high-quality cables of the shortest practical  
length. The longer the cable, the more chance there  
is that noise will creep in to degrade your sound.  
For connection to an unbalanced phone jack input.  
HS8/HS7/HS5  
• Balanced cables  
Balanced cables are more resistant to noise than  
unbalanced cables. If you have to use unbalanced  
cables because the source equipment only has  
unbalanced outputs, be sure to use the shortest  
possible unbalanced cables.  
NOTE Refer to “Connection and Cable Types” on page 14 for more  
connector details. The configurations of the balanced and  
unbalanced phone jack connectors are different.  
Connections  
NOTE Plug the supplied AC power cord into the corresponding  
socket on the speaker. Plug the power cord into the speaker  
first, and then insert the AC plug end into an appropriate AC  
wall outlet.  
Connecting to a Mixer  
When connecting a mixer (Yamaha MGP or MG series,  
etc.) to HS series speakers, connect the mixer’s  
MONITOR OUT or C-R OUT (Control Room) connectors  
directly to the speakers’ input connectors. This makes it  
possible to control the monitor level independently from  
the mixer’s main bus level.  
Connecting to an Audio Interface  
When connecting an audio interface (Steinberg UR or  
MR series, etc.) to HS series speakers, connect the  
audio interface output connectors directly to the  
speakers’ input connectors. Normally you’ll connect to  
the LINE OUT 1 and 2 (1L and 2R outputs), although  
that might depend on the specific audio interface and  
DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) settings used.

such as a Yamaha MOTIF synthesizer to the HS series  
speakers, connect the instrument’s L/MONO and R  
outputs to the HS speaker inputs.  
HS8/HS7/HS5  
HS8/HS7/HS5  
Point 1  
Position speakers at least 1.5 meters away from  
walls or corners.  
OUTPUT L/MONO  
OUTPUT R  
Ideally, the speakers should be located at least 1.5  
meters away from walls or corners. In situations where it  
is not possible to position the speakers a sufficient  
distance from walls or corners, the ROOM CONTROL  
switch can be used compensate for excessive bass. As  
you move the speaker closer to walls or corners, a  
higher compensation setting may be required to  
achieve natural sounding response ([0] [-2] [-4]).

NOTE If necessary, adjust the ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM  
Point 2  
switches for the most natural response (refer to page 7).  
Position the left and right speakers  
symmetrically.  
The left and right speakers should be positioned as  
symmetrically as possible in relation to the room. In  
other words, the left and right speakers should be the  
same distance from the rear wall and the respective left  
and right walls.  
Adding a Subwoofer (HS8S)  
Adding a subwoofer to your monitor system can  
significantly improve its low-frequency fidelity, making it  
possible to create better overall mixes.  
Point 3  
The optimum listening position is at the apex of  
an equilateral triangle.  
For the most accurate sound and balance, position  
yourself at the apex of an equilateral triangle formed by  
the left and right speakers and yourself, with the  
speakers angled inward so that they’re facing you.  
The subwoofer is normally placed on the floor between  
the left and right full-range speakers, but since the  
subwoofer reproduces low frequencies below 200 Hz  
that are relatively non-directional, subwoofer positioning  
is not critical.  
Four cables are required: two to connect the audio  
interface or other source equipment to the HS8S  
subwoofer, and two more to connect the subwoofer to  
the left and right HS8/HS7/HS5 main speakers.  
Point 4  
Position the tweeters at ear height.  
High frequencies are quite directional, so for the most  
accurate monitoring the speakers should be set up so  
that the tweeters are at approximately the same height  
as your ears when you’re seated at the listening  
position.  
The connections are made as shown below.
