To serve quality focused printers, print project managers, photographers or digital imaging experts, by applying extensive domestic and international experience in all aspects of the printing process; from print project design, digital imaging and photography, planning and implementation, to sales and production management, execution and delivery. Seek management positions overseeing and involving project design, cost estimation and including development of project controls, sales, color management, production supervision, and related project management services. Desire engagements applying my unique knowledge and awareness of both current digital print practices and longstanding traditional print issues. In addition to providing complete print project and production services management, also seek to leverage extensive domestic and international contacts and experience in print sales, sales management, and business development.

1987–Present P. Chan & Edward, Inc. Anaheim, CA
Managing Partner and Project Consultant
Merged my firm, GeoGraphics, with P. Chan and Edward, Inc. to pursue opportunities for Asian printers to serve US markets. Appointed to lead U.S. operations and successfully expanded international sales while preserving domestic client and production base. Successfully introduced US and international clients to benefits of Asian print market. Provided integrated offshore print project management services addressing client needs from project conception through final delivery.
? Responsible for market expansion creating 1000% increase in sales surpassing $10 Million annually while simultaneously introducing new products and services.
? Applied extensive technical background and production expertise to develop and refine production relationships with Asian printers, with particular emphasis on pre-press, binderies, and associated manufacturers. Established company wide quality controls, including those designed for vendors and partners, addressing cost guidelines, production techniques and color management and establishment of ICC color profiles for all vendors.
? Established new production offices including new facilities in Seoul, Korea and Hong Kong. Managed production facilities on site for 1 year and trained all personnel.
? Hired and trained all new sales and production personnel, while concurrently managing all accounts and sales offices nationally. Established branch sales offices in San Francisco, New York, and most recently Washington, DC.
? Spent a minimum of 6 months each year from 1987 – 2000 overseeing Asian operations, principally in Korea, Hong Kong and China while overseeing and managing all project design and execution issues, including manufacturing and production, quality control, color management and press checks, through delivery to customers and including post-delivery assessments.

1983–1987 GeoGraphics Dallas, TX
Principal / Owner
Formed this specialty graphics service / print brokering business to address client needs during time of rapid expansion and change in publishing markets. Rapid expansion of capacity had created downward price competition and established printers had to find ways of doing cost-effective quality work. Company provided comprehensive ‘Printing Brokerage’ services including project design, consultation and administration of production, with special emphasis on use of offshore printing and manufacturing facilities. Developed recognized expertise in locating and coordinating offshore design, printing and related resources (primarily located in the Far East including Korea, Hong Kong and China) for clients who were accustomed to domestic production. Simultaneously developed program that retained strong relations with a network of U.S. printers in Texas and California allowing GeoGraphics clients to select local or international printing needs dependent upon project requirements.
? Researched and established successful network of quality printers and manufacturers throughout Korea, Hong Kong, and Mainland China during time of volatile change in print industry.
? Established and staffed our first offshore production office in Seoul, Korea. Hired and trained all staff personally.
? Developed GeoGraphics reputation as a flexible print project manager with substantial expertise in the discovery and use of multi-national production resources. Substantial print production experience allowed company to credibly introduce clients to benefits of offshore production. Assisted clients to comprehend and confidently make use of what were then relatively sophisticated international printing services. Created large network of sophisticated U.S. print services consumers including dozens of top museums, art publishers, and book manufacturers. Annual sales volume surpassed $6 Million at time of merger with P. Chan & Edward, Inc.

1980–1983 International Graphics Industries Little Rock, AR
National Sales Manager
Joined IGI to ensure continuity of projects and uninterrupted services for my existing clientele after the sudden closure of Regensteiner Press. At time of joining IGI, its Creative Printing Division offered well managed, quality print services but lacked a national representation for this capacity. Joined and agreed to lead this division and focus its offerings.
? Increased company sales volume over 150% in fewer than 3 years, with virtually no increase in sales personnel or fixed expense. Structural issues, including limited production capacities of IGI capped the rate of this expansion.
? Expanded marketing focus from commodity products such as brochures and business reports to quality focused and higher margin work including art books, museum projects, and specialty gift theme projects, all offering more sophisticated work and higher rates of return. Diversification of product line also served to elevate the IGI company image on national level.
? Re-organized production and scheduling departments, including hiring and training of 3 new personnel due to lack of qualified expertise in this area.

1973–1980 Regensteiner Press Chicago, IL
Estimator – Production Manager – Sales - Regional Sales Manager
Joined Regensteiner Press, a highly rated commercial printer (heat set web and sheetfed offset litho) and served until 1980 when company was abruptly dissolved after rising to be among top ten printers in the industry. Secured invaluable experience while working with this industry leader on large and small projects. Served as project cost estimator and production controls specialist and during this time began development of proprietary methods for costing projects and managing production. Was successfully ascending company management structure until the abrupt dissolution of Regensteiner in 1980.
? Initial job duties, right out of college, included reporting directly to company’s General Manger and working very closely with the Sales Force to ensure cost control and quality outputs. Estimating responsibilities necessitated learning every aspect of modern print process, from pre-press to paper/ink, to printing, to binding, to shipping through distribution. Was solely responsible for creating and implementing a novel computerized print cost estimating system. System was eventually adopted and used throughout the company and well before electronic cost calculation became an accepted industry practice. This successful merger of established business practices with currently available technology would become a hallmark of my approach to print management services.
? Assumed Production Coordinator duties (CSR) in 1975 and was quickly appointed as Production Manager by 1976. My department was responsible for overseeing production totaling over $60 Million annually; responsibilities included both web and sheetfed offset, complete bindery, and management and administration of company’s very large in-house pre-press department.
? Promoted to Sales roles in 1977 and was relocated to Dallas/Ft.Worth area to manage the Southwest Regional Sales Office. By 1980, expanded sales for this territory from barely $800,000 to over $10 Million annually (including both web and sheet fed). All sales for which I was responsible enjoyed added distinction of being rated as the most profitable for the company because of efficiencies realized from my integrated approach to print project management. Subject matter at time included publications, catalogs, annual reports, and high quality sheetfed books.

  2. Elements of Negligence
    • defendent owes plantiff duty of care
    • defendent breached that duty
    • breach actually and legally caused plaintiff injury
    • plaintiff suffered a real and compensable injury
  3. Negligence
    • improper manufacture
    • negligent inspection
    • failure to warn
    • negligent design
    • negligence per se
  4. Improper manufacture
    • improper materials, improperly producing the product, and improper packaging
    • compounding your liable vs not compounding not liable.
  5. Negligent inspection
    manufacturer's duty to inspect for risks that create a forseeable risk of harm
  6. Failure to Warn
    • giving an inadequate warning is at least one of the grounds alleged in most product liability cases.
    • without an inadequate warning the product would be dangerous in its ordinary use or in any reasonably forseeable use.
  7. Negligent Design
    • the sale of defectively designed products is a big ticket area of products libability since it involves no just one dfective item or batch but the entire product line.
    • the plaintiff must prove that the product design is inherently dangerous, contains insufficient safety measures, or consists of materials that do not satisfy trade standards.
  8. Defenses
    • plaintiffs own negligence
    • assumption of risk
    • unreasonable or reasonably unforseeable product misuse.
    • state of the art defense
    • compliance with applicable code, standard of regulation (limited)
  9. Product misuse/ state of the art defenses
    • product misuse: the plaintiff didn't use it correctly
    • state of the art defense: what we did was the best anyone knew how to do at the time so we couldn't have been negligent.
  10. Strict liability in tort
    • defective condition and
    • unreasonably dangerous
    • to user, consumer or family

    • the product reaches consumer witout substantial change.
  11. Breach of Warranty for product liability
    • warranty is a contractual promise about the nature of the product sold.
    • under the UCC warranties may be expressed or implied.
    • use of warrant or gaurantee is not necessry
    • no specific intention to create a warranty is necessary if a statement of fact, promise, description or sample is made part of the basis of the bargain.
  12. Implied warranties:
    • these only exists if seller is merchant
    • there are two types: implied warranty of merchantability and implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
    • implied warranty: fitness for particular purpose: seller has reason to know purpose for goods required and tat the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgement to select or furnish goods and the implied warranty that the the goods shall be fit for such purpose.
  13. Exclusion of warranties
    • both express and implied warranties can be excluded

  37. Point Slope- What is happening at pt A and B? Relationship wise?
    • Draw line from A (straight line)- along that line, find slope.
    • Draw line from B (straight)- find point slope
    • A compared to B- (A pt slope +1.2) then (B pt slope +2)
    • tells you the magnitude of the relationship, signs are consistent
  38. What are the 2 points to Point Slope?

    • Is it going down or up? (ex.- Up, or Down)
  39. What do you do when the graph is a upward U shape?
    • Left side = positive, slope is getting flatter sooo numerical value is falling
    • Right side = Negative, inverse, numerical value is steeper so rising
    • Middle = Slope is zero (flat at the specific point)
  40. Scarcity relates to...
    Scarcity = trade offs = opportunity cost
  41. What is opportunity cost?
    • Opportunity lost
    • Total dollar amount you give up because of economic decision
    • 2 types- Explict, Implicit
  42. What are Explicit Costs?
    • Example: Big Mac $4.99
    • Visible money you are giving to enjoy your Big Mac
    • College= Books, tuition, fees..
  43. What are Implicit Costs?
    • Total economic costs
    • Less noticible, less visible
    • The money you spend going to get your Big Mac, time, gas, etc.
    • College= time you give up to attend college, giving up chance to have job now
  44. Economic Costs ____ Accounting Costs?
    • Greater than!
    • Accountants ignore implicit costs!
    • Economic costs > Accounting Costs
  45. Explain trade offs in terms of effciency (economic pie).
    • Growing = effciency

    • Might have the same sized pie, but based on how efficient you are, your pie grows at a faster rate than others.
    • (China was prof. example)
  46. Explain trade offs in terms of equity (economic pie).
    • Social equality = "equity"
    • Division is equal
    • Not dynamic changes, but specific pie equally divided

    • Socialism
  47. What are inputs?
    • Factors of production
    • Resources used by firms in their production processes to make outputs.
    • Land, Labor, Capital and Entrepreneurship

    • Opportunity cost
    • Marginal analysis
    • Incentives
    • Voluntary Exchange
    • Markets
    • Externalities
    • Productivity
    • Inflation

    • ALWAYS Less than!
    • SO- Profits of economy are always less!
    • Costs of economy are always more!
  51. Explain Marginal Analysis.
    • Related to scarcity
    • AKA: Additional, Extra, Incremental
    • Example: College- could take similar classes at other places, but you choose KSU
    • Risks taken when there is Marginal Benefit and Marginal Cost.
  52. Marginal Benefit ____ Marginal Cost?
    • Marginal Benefit > Marginal Costs
    • Greater than!
    • Marginal Benefit- something of economic dec.
    • Marginal Costs- things you give up
    • If you're not benefitting from those things, you wouldn't put so much cost into them. The benefit is always greater or you wouldn't do it!
  53. Explain Incentives.
    • Goes with Marginal Analysis
    • Important function of modern capital economy
    • There are dis-incentives and incentives (specific market place)
    • Price of product; Government gets on taxes; profit margins
    • Weighing out the costs and benefits to something by the incentive you get from it!
    • Example: Over taxing = less incentives to work, save, and invest.
  54. Explain Trade / Voluntary Exchange.
    • Example: Because Wal-mart is there, you go!
    • Core concept is capitalism
    • Laissez-faire concept
    • Based on simple (free trade; vol. exchange)
    • Domestic- markets free
    • International- government economy policies are geared towards vol. exchange
    • Free trade = beneficial for everyone
  55. Explain Markets.
    • Economy in which allocates resources through the decentrailized decisions of market participants.
    • Free organizations
    • In every language- means same thing
    • Bring successfully people together for vol. exchange with no gov. intervention
    • Buyers and sellers brought together
    • (Capitalism) Free Market System- price system- Laissez-faire system
    • What do they do?
    • ecentralized system and higher levels of productivity When free markets arn't free, that is when you get Externalisities
  56. Explain Externalities.
    • When there is a market failure, government gets involved.
    • Market is left on its own, fails to allocate socieities resources efficiently.
    • Externalities- actions of one person impact well-being of third parties, they get a benefit.
    • Spillovers- 2 types of externalities
    • External costs or external benefits
  57. What are other words for External Costs and External Benefits?
    • External Costs- negative externalities
    • Example: enviornment pol. teaching in 3 places, driving, noise, third party is YOU. Taxing can correct negitive ext.

    • External Benefits- positive externalities
    • Example: Education, government subsidizes for the buyer and seller, we get to benefit!
  58. Explain Market Power.
    • Someones ability to minipulate outcome of price and output
    • Example: Monopoly (ext. possibility- extreme)
    • 1 firm- serves market, has buyers
    • end result isn't desirable
    • Private monopolies = illegal in US
    • jack up the price & reduce output
  59. Explain Productivity.
    • Macroeconomics
    • High productivity = high standard of living
    • Output/Input (ration) measure performance
    • Very simple model
    • Long run- nastions / individuals standards of living depends on production of recourses (goods)
    • Gives an idea of what to do (policies to make prosperty)
    • Growth rate production = change production %
    • US Prod = $55/ 1 hr. labor BUT Growth rate is 1-3%
    • Mx Prod = $18/ 1 hr. labor BUT Growth rate is 4-6%
    • They will eventually catch up!
  60. Explain Rate of Inflation.
    • Macroeconomics
    • Could eliminate middle class within a decade
    • Opposite = deflation (rise and fall)
    • hyperinflation- 2400%, makes the dollar worth nothing
  61. What is the "Purchasing power of money"?
    • Voluntary goods and services that money can buy
    • Over all prices go up = Purchasing power goes down
  62. Explain the Phillips Curve.
    • Macroeconomics
    • Shows the inverse relationship between the unemployment rate and the inflation rate
    • Downward slopping
    • Overall prices go up = Unemployment goes down
    • Overall prices go down = Unemployment goes up

8507002 Informal Interpretation

801.1(a); 801.1(j); 802.20; 802.51; 801.40
Patrick Sharpe

I called [redacted] 7-9-85 and informed that based on the facts given no filing obligation is required. Company C does not meet the size of person for the formation and subsequent acquisition.Wayne, Andy, Dana, Suzanne concur.

July 1, 1985

Premerger Notification Office
Bureau of Competition
Room 303
Federal Trade Commission
Sixth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20580

Attention: Mr. Patrick Sharpe, Compliance Specialist

Dear Mr. Sharpe:

This will confirm our telephone conversation on Friday, June 28, 1985, when we called to obtain an informal interpretation from your office, on an anonymous basis, regarding whether a proposed transaction was reportable under the premerger notification and waiting period requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and implementing regulations.

The following is a summary of the relevant facts that we furnished to you during our conversation:

1. Our client, "Company A," is a foreign (that is , alien) corporation that would be an acquiring person. Company A has both net sales and assets within a range of about $50 million to $60 million. However, Company A is part of a conglomerate, the "ultimate parent entity" [16 C.F.R. 801.1(a)] of which has net sales and assets in excess of $100 million. 2. "Company B," a domestic corporation "engaged in manufacturing" [16 C.F.R. 801.1(j)] is, and has been since 1982, in a chapter XI reorganization proceeding. Company B, at its last regularly prepared annual statement of income and expense, had net sales of approximately $14 million, and as of the last regularly prepared balance sheet, had assets with a net book value of approximately $6 million. 3. "Company C" is a new domestic corporation to be formed. Company A will acquire 40% of the outstanding common stock in the new corporation, another 50% of the outstanding stock will be issued to natural persons formerly affiliated as owners or officers of Company B, and the 10% balance will be issued to a natural person whose loyalties may fairly be said to reside with Company A. The new shareholders who are natural persons formerly affiliated with Company B will together contribute capital in the amount of approximately $30,000, together with their technical knowledge and certain proprietary materials relating to the business involved; the 10% shareholder who is a natural person will contribute capital of $100,000 in cash or its equivalent; and Company A, the 40% shareholder, will contribute approximately $70,000 in cash or its equivalent, together with all of its interest in a note representing a loan by Company A to Company B in the amount of approximately $500,000, for use as working capital to enable Company B to continue its operations pending consummation of the transaction to be hereinafter described. 4. The proposed transaction, subsequent to the incorporation and capitalization of Company C, is for Company C to acquire substantially all of the assets of Company B for an acquisition price of approximately $3.5 million. The bank loans required to fund that acquisition will be guaranteed by Company A. Thus the value of the assets of the acquired person(s) will not exceed approximately $4.2 million, no matter whether some elements of that value need not be counted for these purposes.

Our analysis, based on the foregoing facts, was that the proposed transaction would satisfy all three of the statutory jurisdictional tests, as follows:

1. At least Company B, and acquired person, would be engaged in commerce or in an activity affecting commerce [15 U.S.C.A. 18a(a)(1) (Supp. 1985)], so that the transaction would meet the "Commerce Test." 2. A "person" with annual net sales or total asset of $100 million or more is proposing to acquire voting securities or assets of a person engaged in manufacturing with annual net sales or total assets of $10 million or more [15 U.S.C.A. 18a(a)(2)(A)], so that the proposed transaction meets the "Size-of-the-Parties Test." [Note: Wrong, C is the acquiring person and does not have $10 MM in sales or assets] 3. As a result of the proposed acquisition an acquiring person will hold 15% or more of the voting securities or assets of an acquired person [15 U.S.C.A. 18a(a)(3)(A)], so that the proposed transaction meets the "Size-of-the-Transaction Test."

Notwithstanding our conclusion that the proposed acquisition meets all three of the statutory jurisdictional tests, we believe that the transaction(s) is exempt from the requirements of the statute on at least on and perhaps more bases, as follows: [NOTE TO ITEMS 1 and 2 BELOW: Need not go as far as exemptions.]

1. The propose acquisition, which otherwise would be subject to the requirements of the act, satisfies Section 7A(a)(3)(A) [15 U.S.C.A. 18a(a)(3)(A)], but does not satisfy Section A(a)(3)(B) [15 U.S.C.A. 18a(a)(3)(b)], so that the acquisition is exempt pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 802.20 (1985) because, as a result of the proposed acquisition, the acquiring person would not hold: (a) assets of an acquired person valued at more than $15 million; or (b) voting securities which confer control of an issuer which, together with all entities which it controls, has annual net sales or total assets of $25 million or more. You advised that you concurred in our analysis and conclusion that the transaction is exempt from the notification requirements of the statute on the basis of the regulation an 16 C.F.R. 802.20 (1985). 2. We suggested that the proposed transaction might also fall within the exemption relating to acquisitions by "foreign persons" set forth in 16 C.F.R. 802.51(c) (1985), as follows: "An acquisition by a foreign person shall be exempt from the requirements of the act if:...(c) the acquisition is of less than $15 million of assets located in the United States (other than investment assets)..." Although we did not discuss that suggested exemption at length, you advised that the proposed transaction would probably fall within that exemption as well. 3. You advised that the proposed transaction, as I had described it, might also be analyzed by reference to 16 C.F.R. 801.40, which relates to the formation of joint ventures or other corporations on a joint basis. I believe that your observation was that the proposed transaction would not be subject to the reporting requirements of the act because the value thresholds set forth in 801.40(b), even after consideration of the provisions of 801.40(c), would not be reached. [NOTE: Correct]

We understand that the policy of your Office is that you will not covey or confirm the above informal interpretations in writing, but that, upon receipt of this letter setting forth the relevant facts related to you and our understanding of the advice received, you will respond orally to this letter to confirm the interpretations or to clarify any points of misunderstanding. We shall appreciate receiving the permitted oral response at your early convenience, by calling the undesigned collect at the number appearing in the above letterhead.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation when we spoke on June 28 and for your early response.

Sincerely yours,

In the last quarter PPI output went down 0.2% compared to expectations for a 0.4% soar, after a 0.8% dip in the fourth quarter, 2015.

AUD/CAD tumbled 0.76%, trading at 0.7271, thus re-approaching Monday’s two-month minimums of 0.7232.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics informed that in the first quarter wage price index went up by 0.4%, below expectations for a 0.5% revenue after the last quarter’s 0.5% surge.

By the way, the evergreen buck remained supported even after a series of positive US economic posts on Tuesday. It definitely powered expectations for the Fed’s approaching rate hike.

Yamaha HS8

These speakers Yamaha HS8 is the new version of the 7 year old HS80M used by many as a tool for mixing music or just listening to music as i do with the new HS8.

The old hs has a low cut and mid trim where the new hs only has room control and high trim (which the old HS models also have), improvements are a better cabinet, new bas,midrange, a tweeter that goes all the way up to 30khz and a 6 db more quiet rear bassport.

The old HS80M which i never have owned (heard them many times) is a speaker that can be a bit agressive in the upper midrange lower tweeter and there for could be a bit fattigue where the smaller HS50M where to me more fattigue then the HS80M.

The HS8 are to me very neutral and theres absolutly no fattigue, personally i don't need a subwoofer or to adjust the sound using the high trim or room control, the sound is clean and open without sounding bright and unnatural

Theres 45 watt for the 1" tweeter and 75 watt for the 8" big bas/midrange where the amplifiers are surpose to be the same as the old ones in the hs80/50m, with their pro and cons,only the hs7 has a "new" amplifer they didn't used in the old hs, a speaker like the more expensive but also very popular adam a7x has 100/150 watt, but the total of 120 watt, each speaker has is for my taste and room more then enough, they can be really loud, enough for the neighbors to hear exactly what you are playing.

As i have mentioned in the begining, i use them only for listening to music and they sound just great, with lots of power, no typical bright sound with either to much or not enough bass, music sounds as they are recorded without the speakers adding something to the sound that most hifi speaker do.

If you want to use them for professional use or just to listen to music they will do the job, they are bang for the buck, big speaker where you don't need a subwoofer, lots of power and most importent good sound for a resonable price.

Yamaha HS8

This is Quick-Review for NEW YAMAHA HS SERIES MONITORS (not just HS8-Gearslutz choices are not current for this series, otherwise I would have chosen HS7)

I spent some time yesterday at the Guitar Center in Chicago (2633 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614) listening to the newly released Yamaha HS5, HS7 and HS8 Monitors.

The process was not “scientific” per se as I listened only to pre-recorded music (Bruno Mars-Just the Way You Are, Brad Paisley-Alcohol and Cheap Trick-I Want You to Want Me-Live.)

My personal goal in this is to replace my KRK Rokit 5’s (V1) as they do not/never did provide the clarity I need for mixing (very muddied in the Mids and very little clarity in the Lows). In fact, I can get a much better and more useable mix via my Avantone Cubes vs the KRKs.

In regards to the Yamahas, I found it interesting that this GC only had out the HS5s and HS8s. However, the young man who was assisting me was more than willing to pull out a fresh pair of HS7s.

To make what could be a long story, short, the HS5s were very midrange forward and almost brash whereas with the HS7, the highs and mids were clearly there but not over emphasized.

The HS8s sounded really “great” over all and similar in nature to some degree with my M-Audio BX8as in the Low-End Arena. However, when comparing the HS7 to the HS8 while doing a back and forth comparison of Kick-Drums, the Kick seemed to be (over?) emphasized with the HS8 where it was clear and apparent in the HS7 but not emphasized.

From another perspective, the HS7 is definitely NOT a monitor I’d use for general music listening whereas the HS8 would fare much better in that capacity.

In my personal opinion, the HS7 will be a better match for my needs as it seemed “flatter” across the spectrum of sound compared to the HS5 and HS8 plus it has more bass end response compared to the HS5.

*Although I did not hear any of them with the new Yamaha HS8S Subwoofer, I can imagine how nice it would be to add it to the HS7s as opposed to the HS5s.

Yamaha HS8

The HS8 is the largest of 3 speakers from the new HS line.(HS5, HS7, HS8)
The HS5 is an updated HS50M.
The HS7 is a newer mid sized (6.5" Cone Woofer) which is closer to NS10 ( the classic studio monitor )
Depending on your needs, you have options.
If you have a smaller room and bass response is no concern I would recommend the HS5 or HS7 for a little more bass.
Otherwise, the HS8 is perfect for a bigger room with plenty of space.

My Experience
I've owned a pair of HS80M's for two years and relied on them for every one of my mixes so my opinion on the Hs8's is based on previous experience with the HS80m's.
I love the way the HS80's sound, but after listening to the HS8's at my local Long and Mcquade for an hour I decided It was time for an upgrade.

What's The Difference?
Design -
Yamaha has redesigned the cabinet as well as a few other components on the HS8 Monitors.
I've compiled a list of changes.

The most obvious upgrades are aesthetically.
There's a new, more rounded rim around the woofer as well as the removal of the black lines that sit right in the middle of the Cone Woofer on the HS80m's.
There's also a slight difference in weight
Hs8 - 12.5 kg
Hs80 -13.2 kg

Better Frequency Response

HS8: 38Hz - 30kHz
HS80m: 42Hz - 20kHz

-Updated Drivers (New Tweeter {30khz} and Woofer).
- Updated Bass Ports (They are now roughly -6db quieter which means a more controlled Low end)
- Yamaha removed the internal shielding to improve magnet efficiency
- Acoustic controls on the rear are different from the HS80's, in fact there's now only two controls from the four on the HS80's.

Room Control
( 0db, -2db, -4db )
High Trim
(+2db, 0db, -2db)

Mid Eq and Low Cut have been removed on the HS8's.
Sound -
Sonically, the HS8's sound clearer throughout the entire frequency spectrum.
The Lows are certainly more tame than the HS80's. There's a round, warm, controlled sound to the bass that was often out of control on the HS80's ( even with low cut adjusted ).
Although, there is some low, low end lacking.
If deep subby bass is necessary for you, maybe consider buying an HS8S Subwoofer to go with the pair.
The Mids are clearer and more present.
The highs aren't so "spicy" or "noisy", they sound very "crisp" without sounding noisy or annoying.
I was quite surprised to hear the notorious "Hissing" sound was almost completely gone from the HS8's as the HS80's suffered from that problem.
When no audio is playing in the HS80's there's a very loud, noticeable hiss sound that comes from the tweeters. Glad they fixed that one.

I Compared them to a pair of Adam A8X's and while the A8X's sounded a little "crisper" and "Clearer"
I liked the overall performance of the HS8's. I found the higher end of the A8X's to be a little too clear and not as well balanced wit the low's as I would have like. Maybe it's because I was already used to the HS80's sound. either way great deal.

Overall, At $349 each, the Yamaha HS8's are a steal of a deal for how great they sound. The HS8's are much better for listening to music longer without fatigue and Certainly a step up from the HS80's in terms of clearness and quality. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to get into some great sounding Active Monitor speakers for a fraction of the price of similar sounding speakers. Happy mixing!

An accurate representation of audio while working on a project is of the highest importance to anyone working in the professional audio field. Whether you are an audio for film guy/gal or a music mixer or even a live mixer working outside the venue, you need a great pair of studio monitors. I have even found that musicians that do their own recordings tend to have better tracks if they have great monitoring in a well-treated space. Though there is a lot of weight placed upon the room in which you work, there is a lot that a great set of monitors can do for you with proper placement.

As a mix engineer, I have put a variety of studio monitors through their paces. From the standards like Yamaha’s NS10 and Makie’s Hr824 to the more recent Focal offerings as well as Bowers and Wilkins, there is a lot of variety out there, and the process of finding the right monitor for you can be an arduous process. I recently went through this process as I retro-fitted my home workspace with a new mix studio. Luckily for me, I have a very patient gear representative, and we were able to land on a set, that over the last few months, I have really grown to understand and don’t know what I would do without.

After several trials, I landed on a magnificent pair of Yamaha’s HS8s, an update from their previous HS80M from all I can tell. The monitors themselves are actually on the cheaper side of things retailing for $349-$399 each. Some may think $800 is a lot for a pair of monitors, but considering the competition (which can cost several thousand dollars per speaker), I was relieved to love them as much as I do now. As far as monitors go, I wouldn’t say they are the flattest, but they have just enough of a curve to make them pleasing for those long hour days. This particular monitor has an 8” cone woofer in the classic Yamaha bright white as well as a 1” dome tweeter covered by a mesh grill reminiscent to the NS10s. They are bi-amplified with 120W of total power, sporting a gain control on the rear, along with a room control and a HF trim control which cuts or boosts 2dB at 2kHz. I found the HF trim particularly useful as my first two mixes came out a little bright for my tastes so a 2dB bump at 2kHz made me a bit more aware of this, and every mix since has been spot on. According to Yamaha, the frequency range starts at 38Hz, which I agree with, and goes clear on up to 30kHz, which we will never hear. The construction is solid and the two balanced inputs (one XLR and one TRS) seem quite reliable. The on/off switch is located on the back and when switched on, the Yamaha logo on the front of the Monitor glows a nice white. All in all, for my minimal aesthetic tastes, they are quite appealing.
The look and feel matter little in the world of audio…so how do they sound? This is where things get a bit tricky as I was able to test these in an environment that I was familiar with, so your first impressions may differ. To put my thoughts into context, prior to my purchase I was mixing on a pair of Dynaudio BM-5As and was looking for a larger speaker for the new, bigger room. On my first listen, these speakers sounded great! Not flat or accurate, but great. Obviously this is not what I wanted for the studio but maybe for the living room. I had been tricked throughout the years that great studio monitors cannot also sound great…I was wrong. I took them home for the week after battling over some of the other options; Adam A7X, Equator D8 and the Presonus Scepter S8. My main motivation was clearly the sound to price comparison and I figured they were worth the try. I am not big on skimping on gear, so I was prepared to make a bigger purchase if necessary but for the price it was a no brainer to take them home for a test run. Overall, I was quite pleased (after playing music for 8 hours while I was asleep) my first mix on the HS8s was quite a fun experience. The depth and clarity, once I got them into my beloved equilateral triangle, was incredible! The frequency response was spot on and the mix turned out great.

As stated above my only gripe would be that my mixes came out bright to my taste before I started using the HF trim feature, but it is there and that is what it is for, so use it if you need to. My room is treated and the speakers are about three feet from the wall so to this day I have not had to use the room control. The midrange is forward and exquisitely detailed making the process of EQ for vocals a pleasure. The low mid, 120Hz-250Hz is present and the ability to hear the mud around 300Hz is crucial to getting a great mix. They can get loud if I need to impress a client, but all the frequencies seem to stay in relatively the same place as I lower the volume for everyday mixing. The most impressing thing I found while using these speakers for the last 2-3 months is the accuracy of the stereo image and the detail you can hear in the bottom without a sub! There is enough bass for mixing to be fun but it isn’t overwhelming or boomy, in fact it is quite focused.

To sum up, if you are on the fence, bite the bullet and buy. And if you’re in the market, make sure that these great monitors are a consideration. Once you hear the detail and translation you won’t regret it!

Yamaha HS8

Yamaha HS 8's are designed after the highly sought after and widely popular NS 10's. Why were the NS 10's so popular? It was because of their transparency - if your mix sounded good on the NS 10's, it would sound good on anything! The HS 8's are self powered, and easy to setup with inputs for TRS and XLR. They have a level adjustment on the back as well as room adjustment and high trim (although I found I did not need to change either of these settings). The HS 8's deliver a clean flat tone without the need for an additional subwoofer to hear the lows. The highs and lows are not hyped, and there is a good flat, true level throughout the 38Hz - 30kHz frequency response (of course pending your room you monitor and mix in is also flat). I find myself loving to mix through these, the sounds are not harsh and are usually true to what I hear in the room (while tracking a violinist, the band exclaimed "sounds like he is right here in the control room playing!") They are very true to sound and I find my mixes translate extremely well after mixing through these monitors. I gave them a slight lower rating than a 5 just because they are not the top of the line monitors, however, they are in my opinion one of the best bang for buck near field monitors out there and I would not hesitate to buy again!

Yamaha HS8

This isn't a review of one pair of speakers; it's a comparative review of two pairs. I got my HS8's this afternoon and have been A/B'ing them with my main monitors--JBL LSR32's--for a few hours on reference material and my own mixes. I bought the HS8's based on reviews and had not heard them before. I was looking for a set of nearfields for reality checks while mixing. I'm very happy with how these sound, both because they sound really good and because they sound exactly the kind of different from my LSR32's that I needed. My HS8's are on top of my LSR32's, vertically oriented, upside down, on pads, at a slight downward angle toward my mix position. All the monitors are almost up against my back wall, at an angle pointing at my mix position.

What is "flat"? I don't know. Both speaker-makers publish spec-sheets that would indicate they're both pretty flat, at least in the 40hz to 18khz range. I've lived with my LSR32's for 15 years. Over those 15 years, I've learned to think of them as flat. But now that I've plugged in the HS8's and can instantly switch back-and-forth to the LSR32's, they sound very different from each other. So one of them, or both of them, can't be "flat." I like them both, in different ways. To my ears, the LSR32's are flatter, but that may be 15 years' worth of familiarity talking.

The LSR32's have 12" woofers that reach pretty darn low, but in my normal mix position in a 6' equilateral triangle, the lows (and especially the really low lows) don't seem to have enough space to build, and I have trouble hearing them. I've learned to walk to the back of my mix room to check that my low (and low low) end isn't getting too boomy, or too slack.

Now enter the HS8's. The first thing I did was set them approximately equal volume with the LSR32's, which is subjective because their frequency response is quite different. Equal volume of highs, lows, or mids? Pick one. I went with overall subjectively approximately equal volume. How's that for scientific?

The HS8's are a little more "smiley face" eq sounding than the LSR32's. The first, most apparent difference is that the HS8's bass appears louder in the nearfield position, and emphasizes the upper bass. The HS8's bass, though not as deep as the LSR32, is punchy and super tight, and far more audible in my mix position. This is something I really needed; a way to check my bass levels without walking to the back of the room. Also, the HS8 bass doesn't reach as low as the LSR32's, and when I walk to the back of the room, where the LSR32 bass comes together and is super deep, the HS8's lose a touch of their punchyness and I can easily hear that they don't go as deep. The audibility of the HS8 low end is true even at low volume. I feel I really have two perfectly complementary bass-checking systems now. That's what I needed.

The highs on the HS8 are pretty hyped compared to the LSR32's. I engaged the HS8's -2db switch on the highs, to make them match my LSR32's better, but the HS8's are still brighter. With the HS8's highs flat, they're fatiguing at medium volume. Still, it's a clean high on the HS8 that I think will help me spot mistakes in my high eq. In fact, on a mix I've been working on, the HS8's helped me realize I'd set the slight boost on the high freq's on my 2-buss eq at the wrong freq (16khz, should have been 12khz, with a wider Q).

The mids on the two pairs of speakers are also very different. The HS8's sound scooped to me, especially in the problematic 250hz-400hz range. This scoop makes the HS8's sound awesomely clean and clear--too clean and clear, and I couldn't use them as primary monitors for this reason. The mids on the LSR32's are the main reason I fell in love with them to begin with. Now when I've been listening to the HS8's for a while, and then switch to the SLR32's, the LSR32's sound suddenly middy. But after a few seconds back on the LSR32's, I'm keenly aware that I can really HEAR the mids in great detail, which was missing in the HS8's. If I only had the HS8's to work with, I'm sure I'd mess up the mids on things

Oh, and do they get loud? You betcha--uncomfortably loud, with no sign of stress that I can detect. It's certainly not concert loud, but it's louder than I'd ever use for mixing, and it's loud enough for clients to hear their music "cranked."

My final conclusions? The HS8's are exactly what I needed and hoped for in reality-check monitors. They're a little hyped (or scooped, 6 of one, half a dozen of the other), like a good aftermarket car stereo or a good mid-range hi-fi home stereo. That's what I needed. I wouldn't trust them as my primary monitors, the biggest problem being the mid-scoop. But they sound great, and closer to what I think most consumers think is "great." If I forget which pair is on, I get to where my brain can't tell me which pair is on. But when I switch back and forth, the LSR32's are definitely more articulate in the mids where I care the most about getting things right, while the HS8's are what I need to tell me what I can't quite hear in the highs and lows on the LSR32's.

From Miner Descent:

Dorothy Wheatley was baptized 22 Aug 1591, Maiden Newton, Dorsetshire, England.  Her parents were  Frank WHEATLEY and Mary FIENNES of Tingsboro, Somerset, England.  The register of Holy Cross church Daventry records the burial of Dorothy Blisse 10 May 1631.  The record does not identify her as Thomas’ wife; it simply reports the burial of Dorothy Bliss and the date. In that year Thomas was churchwarden at Holy Cross, therefore a man of some repute in the town. In Feb 1632/33 Thomas Blisse married Abigail Southam. Two children were born to them but  their son Thomas was buried in 1635/36 and their daughter Amity was buried in 1637, the year before Thomas Blisse and children by Dorothy are believed to have emigrated. I believe no documentary evidence of Abigail Bliss has been found in America. But in England an Abigail Bliss was buried at Daventry 6th Oct 1681.

If the 1681 burial were Thomas’ wife, then  the traditional explanation that Thomas Bliss married the widow Ide in New England and her son Nicholas was accepted by him as a foster son who inherited a child’s portion in Thomas’s will of 1647 would be in serious question.

True no wife was metioned in the will, so it is doubtful that Abigail was present in New England at that time (if, in fact, she ever went to America with her husband). However she was alive and continued to live for many years after Thomas’s death. Her existence weakens the long-accepted suppostion (for that is all it is) that Thomas Bliss took up with the widow Ide and adopted her son as his own.

Alternatively, Dorothy died 1646 in Rehoboth, Bristol, Mass.

Baptised 22 Aug 1591 in Maiden Newton, Dorset, England, to Frank & Mary (Fienes) Wheatley of Tingsboro, Somerset, England.

Out caching w/the grandkids today on our bikes. Let them wear off a little energy at the playground before we continued on. Log too wet to sign, but had a piece of scrap paper along and threw that in the cache. TFTC

What People Are Saying About Catacombs of Rome

Amazing, surprising, educational and fun.

Well organised tour, back to the early days of christiannitty. Amazing stories, told by our passioned guide Karina, in a modern and fun way. She really made historie come to life.

Rome Crypts and Catacombs Tickets and Tour Reviewed by Bert, 11/20/2016

A definite must-see that's less well known!

Our tour guide, Karina, was incredible. So much knowledge! The tour was informative, but not overwhelming. I would highly suggest doing this tour! It's not as talked about as other tours, but it is so interesting and well worth the time and money. Make sure to book in advance though (if booking through GetYourGuidr) otherwise they might not actually have seats even though you are able to still buy them online.
