PreSonus Eris Studio 8 8" Active Studio Monitor
The PreSonus Eris Studio 8 is an 8-inch active studio monitor that reaches down to 35 Hz without a subwoofer. If you produce music where the bass carries everything, that is the difference between hearing the fundamental and guessing at it.
What sets it apart
- 8 in. woofer and 1.25 in. silk-dome tweeter
- Biamplified in Class AB, 140 W
- 35 Hz to 20 kHz response, no subwoofer needed
- 106 dB SPL peak at one metre
- EBM waveguide with wide horizontal dispersion
- Low-cut, high, mid and Acoustic Space controls to tune the room
The bottom end without a separate sub
The 8 in. woofer, driven by 75 W, and the ported cabinet let the Eris Studio 8 reproduce down to 35 Hz. Hip-hop sub-bass, electronic kicks, organ or upright bass: you hear the low end directly in the monitors.
The tweeter moves up to 1.25 in., powered by 65 W, and peak level reaches 106 dB.
A room that matches the monitor
At 419 mm tall and 298 mm deep, this is a monitor for a dedicated work room rather than a corner of a desk. Acoustic Space, the low cut and the high and mid controls help adapt it to the room.
