Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

White HS3 monitors provide a compact powered pair for nearfield listening in a desktop studio. The two-way design uses 3.5-inch cone low-frequency drivers and 0.75-inch dome tweeters, with a rated 70Hz–22kHz response. Room Control and High Trim give you practical ways to adjust output around placement near surfaces or in reflective spaces. Connect an interface, mixer, computer, or electric instrument through XLR/TRS, RCA, or stereo mini, then reach volume and the headphone jack from the front panel.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Small desktop recording and mix spaces that need compact powered nearfield monitoring.
  • Connecting an interface, mixer, computer, or electric instrument using XLR/TRS, RCA, or stereo mini.
  • Adjusting low end for nearby surfaces and high end for a reflective listening space.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Work that requires monitor response below the HS3's rated 70Hz lower limit.
