How to use

Place the HS8 monitors at ear level in a nearfield arrangement, typically forming an equilateral triangle with the listening position. Connect the monitors to your audio interface or mixer using appropriate wired outputs. Allow a short warm-up period for the drivers before critical listening. Adjust room placement and any available level or EQ controls on your audio interface to achieve a balanced sound.

Recommendations

Position the monitors away from walls and corners when possible to reduce bass buildup; use room treatment or bass traps for improved low-frequency accuracy. Use the HS8 as part of a calibrated monitoring chain for the most reliable mixing results.
