The Eris E8 XT from PreSonus is a substantial update to a lauded classic. Eris XT studio monitors are equipped with a new EBM (Elliptical Boundary Modeled) wave guide resulting in superior high-frequency response and wider 100-degree horizontal dispersion to create a broader sweet spot. It's ideal for group listening and collaboration.
Every Eris-series studio monitor utilizes a woven composite, low-frequency driver. With three different types of audio inputs, it’s easy to feed audio to your Eris monitors from a mixer, an interface, a media player, or almost any other line-level source. Eris-series studio monitors are used worldwide by audio engineers who need to hear every detail of their recordings.
