Yamaha's 6.5" two-way bi-amplified nearfield monitor delivers 95W (60W LF + 35W HF) and is built around a flat, neutral response intended for mixing reference. Unlike combo-jack designs from other brands, the HS7 has two physically separate inputs on the rear: a balanced XLR and a balanced 1/4" TRS jack — both accept balanced or unbalanced signals so a TS instrument cable also works for casual use. Power is delivered through a standard 3-pin IEC C14 mains inlet, with rear-panel ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM EQ switches for room tuning. There is no built-in DSP or USB connectivity on this generation.
