PreSonus Eris E8 XT

Full Description

Hugh-Sarvis designed EBM waveguide for superior performance

Building on the success of the original Eris series, the XT versions feature the brand-new EBM waveguide. The 1.25-inch silk-dome tweeter is equipped with the waveguide, deliver a wide and more controlled sweet spot. The result is a more concise sound, ideal for collaborations and group listening.

Another design update is the larger ported enclosure. This extends the bass response of the 8-inch low-frequency driver, whilst retaining its clarity.

Acoustic tuning control

The PreSonus Eris E8 XT monitor offers a range of acoustic tuning controls that allow you to hear accurate audio in most listening environments. The monitor allows you to work with a variety of musical genres and challenging mixing environments. The Eris E8 features contour tuning controls, which helps to compensate for the boundary bass boost that often occurs when your monitor is either in a corner or near a wall.

The Eris E8 XT also features Mid and High controls to further reduce any room anomalies, allowing you to get the most accurate audio reproduction. The Eris E8 XT will ensure you are hearing each frequency range clearly, no matter the room you are in.

Tight bass and smooth highs

The Eris E8 monitor uses a Kevlar woofer and silk dome tweeter to ensure super clean and smooth audio. The Eris series utilise a custom-woven Kevlar low-frequency driver, which helps to break up reflected energy so fewer delays reach your ear. This means that you get a constant dispersion pattern throughout the frequency range, ensuring a cleaner overall sound. The silk-dome tweeter (along with the EBM waveguide) provides articulate high-end response, capturing every nuance from your audio.

Sound you can trust

For monitors, you need a sound you can trust to produce clear and perfect mixes and productions. The Eris E8 XT delivers an accurate, smooth frequency response, ensuring you are hearing each frequency clearly, making it easier to remove the problem frequencies when mixing. The smooth and even frequency response has made the Eris series one of the fastest growing studio monitor lines in the world. They are compact and powerful, ideal for home and professional studios.

Extensive connectivity

The Eris E8 XT can connect to virtually any line-level source. It features 3 different types of audio inputs, allowing it to connect to an audio interface, mixer, monitor controller, or almost any other line-level source. The Eris E8 XT is equipped with a balanced XLR input, 1/4'' TRS, and unbalanced RCA line-level input. This allows the Eris E8 XT easily integrate into your studio setup.
