The PreSonus Eris E8 XT Studio Monitors are 2-way active studio monitors with wave guide. Featuring smooth, accurate frequency response, powerful amplification with tons of headroom, and acoustic tuning functions, the Eris E8 XT ensures that you always get the best sound.
The PreSonus Eris E8 XT Studio Monitors' deeper lows and a wider, more controlled sweet spot (thanks to its new EBM wave guide design) mean that the PreSonus' best-selling studio monitors just got even better. It's no wonder that the original Eris®-series studio monitors have been a runaway hit since their introduction. The PreSonus Eris E8 XT is a substantial update to a lauded classic.
Studio Speakers with A Wide Sweet Spot
PreSonus outfitted the Eris XT studio monitors with a new EBM (Elliptical Boundary Modeled) wave guide designed by none other than Hugh Sarvis of WorxAudio, the mind behind PreSonus' award-winning CDL loudspeakers and lauded R-Series monitors. The result? A superior high-frequency response and wider 100-degree horizontal dispersion to create a broader sweet spot. It’s ideal for group listening and collaboration—while narrow vertical dispersion reduces reflections from your desk. Silk-dome tweeters ensure snappy, accurate transient reproduction.
Lows that Go Lower
The familiar woven composite low-frequency driver still offers Eris' signature tight, clear bass; plenty of punch and no flub. PreSonus Eris E8 XT studio monitors sport a ported enclosure that is larger than that of their predecessors, allowing them to reach down to an astonishing 35 Hz. That's 10 Hz below previous models—with no subwoofer required!
Set Up Your Studio Monitors for Your Room
PreSonus knows modern recording studios can be anywhere from a spare bedroom to a multi-million dollar facility; that's why every studio monitor they make is equipped with controls that ensure the flattest response in your mix environment. Acoustic tuning controls allow you to configure the PreSonus Eris E8 XT perfectly for your room—you get Low-cut, Mid, and High controls, as well as 3-way acoustic space tuning that allows you to easily compensate for the sonic consequences of speaker placement against a wall or in a corner.
Studio Monitor Connections
It’s easy to feed audio to your PreSonus Eris E8 XT studio monitors from an audio interface, mixer, monitor controller, or almost any other line-level source. PreSonus Eris E8 XT monitors provide balanced XLR, balanced ¼” TRS, and unbalanced RCA line-level inputs. You’ll have no problem hooking your Eris speakers up to virtually anything.
Accuracy Defined
Suitable for both home recording studios and professional mix engineering, the PreSonus Eris XT studio monitors combine sterling audio quality with the flexible tuning and connectivity you've come to expect from PreSonus. It’s Eris, remastered.
