What it brings and what to check

Sony SA-SW8

What it brings

What to check

  • Rated audio output, electrical supply, consumption, amplifier channels, speaker layout and driver counts remain separate. Unlisted fields remain explicit unknowns.

Yamaha HS8

What it brings

  • Rated 47 Hz–24 kHz at −3 dB and 38 Hz–30 kHz at −10 dB, with separate amplifiers for the woofer and tweeter.
  • Balanced XLR and phone-jack inputs plus HIGH TRIM and ROOM CONTROL switches let the monitor be matched to studio interfaces and placed nearer walls.
