PreSonus ERIS STUDIO 8 8-Inch 2-Way Active Studio Monitor, Single

With a smooth, accurate frequency response; powerful amplification with tons of headroom; and Acoustic Tuning functions that ensure you get the best sound, it's no wonder that Eris®-series studio monitors have been a runaway hit since their introduction. Building on the reputation of its award-winning predecessors, the Eris Studio 8 is a substantial update that delivers richer low-end and more controlled high-frequency response, reproducing every detail in your recordings with a natural sound unparalleled in its class.

Designed for superior performance in both home studios and professional mix rooms, the Eris Studio 8 features a custom-designed EBM (Elliptical Boundary Modeled) waveguide that provides superior high-frequency response and wide 120-degree horizontal dispersion to create a broader sweet spot. Narrow vertical dispersion reduces reflections from your desk, and a 1.25-inch, silk-dome tweeter ensures snappy, accurate transient reproduction. An elegant new enclosure design improves the waveguide performance so you'll hear the finest details in your mix.

The woven-composite, 8-inch, low-frequency driver offers Eris' signature tight, clear bass with plenty of punch. Its 140W of biamped power make the Eris Studio 8 more efficient than previous designs. The ported enclosure maximizes bass response and allows the Eris Studio 8 to reach down to an astonishing 35 Hz - with no subwoofer!

Flexible input options let you connect almost any line-level source, from mixers to audio interfaces and more. You'll have no problem hooking your Eris speakers up to virtually anything.

Set Up Your Studio Monitors For Your Room.
Eris® Studio 8 active monitors are equipped with Acoustic Tuning controls to ensure the flattest response in your mix environment. You get Low Cut, Mid, and High controls, as well as three-way Acoustic Space tuning that makes it easy to compensate for the boundary bass boost that occurs when a speaker is placed too close to a wall.

Honest. Expressive. Powerful.
Like all PreSonus® studio monitors, the Eris® Studio 8 offers consistent, accurate listening. Their stylish design makes them a welcome addition to any mix space, and their smooth, incredibly even frequency response ensures that your mixes will sound great everywhere.
