Ever since the 1970s, the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha's near-field reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason-their unerring consistent accuracy. The newest HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process. By combining our years of studio knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art analysis tools, Yamaha's speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect of the design to make these monitors the most trusted in the business.

Listening to the Yamaha HS-7 will give you the reference monitor experience at its best. Those near field active monitors reproduce my sound to an unmatched quality, and they come with a wow-factor that's almost addictive. There's a reason why nearly 60% of the recording studio pictures on Google have a pair of Yamaha HS monitors. I have found the holy grail of monitors.

I've owned them for a couple of months now, and I see why they are everywhere. So clean, with the tightest bottom I've heard. I have one problem with the monitors though, they sound so good that I spend too much time enjoying them and not working on my music. Yes I would recommend them if you have the willpower to get to work.

I do not like being negative, but I just do not understand people who say "These are one of the truest near field studio monitor[s] I have heard in a longtime ... Awesome!!!!!" and then giving this superb product two-and-a-half stars. Weird. Anyway, these monitors are simply essential for any professional or home studio. I had a pair of - supposedly "legendary" - 5-inch Tannoys. When I substituted the Yamaha HS7's for the Tannoys, I felt like switching to a top-end Lexus from a low-end Chevy. These monitors are all-round winners, so detailed and transparent is the sound. Very clear and clean, very accurate from lows to highs without any noticeable frequency band "preference". Smooth, very smooth. I am very pleased with their overall spectrum balance - they do not sound "tired", they give me excellent "view" of even most complex mixes, which is incredibly important if you record and produce a lot of electronic/electroacoustic music, as I do. I would recommend these monitors to anyone and everyone. I am not going to say silly things like "great for the price" etc. They are great, period.

I finally have a good pair of monitor speakers which works for my Digidesign Eleven Rack guitar amp & cab sim/FX processor. It almost sounds the same as my Mesa Boogie 4x12 stereo cab. The mid is outstanding with good lows and prestine clear highs.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
