5. Opsætning
5.1 Fysisk placering
Proper placement of your HS8S subwoofer is critical for accurate low-frequency reproduction. Consider the following:
- Rumsakustik: Subwoofers are sensitive to room acoustics. Experiment with different positions to find the spot that provides the most even and accurate bass response. Corner placement can sometimes exaggerate bass, while placement along a wall can offer a good balance.
- Proximity to Main Monitors: For optimal integration, place the subwoofer relatively close to your main studio monitors.
- Stabilitet: Ensure the subwoofer is placed on a stable surface to prevent unwanted vibrations. The unit weighs approximately 33.6 pounds and has dimensions of 18"D x 16"W x 18.5"H.

5.2 Forbindelser
The HS8S offers flexible connectivity options for integration into various studio setups:
- Input: Connect your audio source (e.g., audio interface, mixer) to the subwoofer's input jacks. The HS8S supports XLR and TRS (balanced) connections.
- Produktion: Connect the subwoofer's output jacks to your main studio monitors. This allows the subwoofer to handle the low frequencies, passing the higher frequencies to your main monitors.
- Magt: Connect the supplied power cable to the AC IN port on the rear panel and then to a suitable power outlet.

6. Betjeningsvejledning
6.1 Tænd/sluk
To power on the subwoofer, flip the power switch located on the rear panel to the 'ON' position. The Yamaha logo on the front will illuminate. To power off, flip the switch to 'OFF'.
6.2 Niveaukontrol
Use the LEVEL knob on the rear panel to adjust the overall output volume of the subwoofer. Start with a low setting and gradually increase it to achieve a balanced sound with your main monitors.
6.3 Frequency Controls (LOW CUT / HIGH CUT)
These controls are essential for seamless integration with your main monitors:
- LOW CUT Switch: Activate this switch to engage the low-cut filter.
- LOW CUT Control (80-120Hz): Adjust this knob to set the frequency below which the subwoofer will not reproduce sound. This helps prevent overlap with your main monitors' low-frequency capabilities.
- HIGH CUT Control (80-120Hz): Adjust this knob to set the frequency above which the subwoofer will not reproduce sound. This ensures the subwoofer only handles the desired low-frequency range, allowing your main monitors to focus on mids and highs.
6.4 PHASE Switch
The PHASE switch (NORM/REV) allows you to invert the phase of the subwoofer's output. Experiment with both settings to determine which provides the most coherent and impactful bass response in your listening position. Incorrect phase alignment can lead to cancellation or muddy bass.
7. Vedligeholdelse
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Yamaha HS8S Subwoofer, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive chemicals, as they may damage the finish.
- Ventilation: Keep the rear heat sink and bass-reflex port clear of obstructions to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
- Opbevaring: If storing the unit for an extended period, disconnect the power cable and store it in a dry, dust-free environment.
8. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your HS8S subwoofer, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen lyd | Power cable disconnected, power switch off, input cables loose/incorrect, level knob too low. | Check power connections, turn on power, ensure audio cables are securely connected to correct inputs, increase LEVEL knob. |
| Forvrænget lyd | Input signal too high, subwoofer level too high, incorrect phase. | Reduce input signal level from source, lower subwoofer LEVEL, try flipping the PHASE switch. |
| Weak/Muffled Bass | Incorrect HIGH CUT/LOW CUT settings, phase issue, poor room placement. | Adjust HIGH CUT/LOW CUT for optimal crossover, try flipping the PHASE switch, experiment with subwoofer placement. |
If the issue persists after trying these solutions, please contact Yamaha customer support or a qualified service technician.
