PreSonus Eris Studio 8 Product Details

Description

Sound you can trust.

If you're serious about music production, you need studio monitors that speak nothing but the truth. Eris® Series monitors offer smooth and accurate frequency response, powerful Class AB amplification with plenty of headroom, and a range of acoustic adjustments to compensate for room anomalies. Whether you're recording your first album or your latest hit, Eris monitors will make sure your vision is heard.

Woofers that deliver a clean overall sound.

All Eris Series studio monitors feature a woven composite woofer. The weave and texture of the Eris E8's eight-inch woofer help refract reflected energy, so fewer delayed reflections reach the listener's ear. This provides a more even dispersion pattern across the frequency range, resulting in a less time-distorted soundstage and a cleaner overall sound.

Smooth high-frequency response.

Each Eris monitor is equipped with a silk dome tweeter that delivers sound with a wide dispersion pattern, creating a larger sweet spot. The result is a smooth and refined sound that accurately reproduces transients and high frequencies.

Monitors you can customize.

Today's music producers work with a wide variety of musical genres and often in demanding mixing environments. That's why Eris Series studio monitors offer extensive acoustic adjustment options. The three-position Acoustic Space switch helps compensate for bass over-excursion that can occur when a monitor is placed in a corner or near a wall. Treble and midrange controls can be used to further mitigate room anomalies. A low cutoff filter makes it easy to integrate a Temblor® subwoofer into your monitor setup.
