PreSonus Eris E8 High-Definition 2-way 8 Nearfield Studio Monitor - 134245
Detail
When mixing music you want a pair of studio monitors that will accurately reveal the truth about what you're listening to, and the Eris series from PreSonus are designed to do just that. With its 8 Kevlar low-frequency transducer, the Eris E8 provides an extended low-end all the way down to 35Hz, and performs with a bit more muscle than the smaller E5. Eris speakers are real studio monitors, delivering a very accurate response with a tight bass and very clear upper end. That's what you need in a home studio. Thanks to well-designed Kevlar low frequency transducers, low-mass silk-dome tweeters, responsive Class AB amplification, and professional acoustic-adjustment controls, Eris delivers the goods.<BR/><BR/>Both Eris models provide balanced XLR, balanced TRS, and unbalanced RCA line-level inputs. When both balanced connections are in use, the TRS input will supersede the XLR input. The RCA input is summed into the signal path. With this selection, you'll have no problem hooking your Eris speakers up with virtually any line-level source. (If your signal source has unbalanced, TS outputs, simply use a -to-RCA adapter or adapter cable.)<BR/><BR/><strong>You're in control!</strong><BR/>Today's music producers deal with a wide variety of musical genres and often work in more than one location. It's easy to take your Eris speakers with you when you want to work in a different space. It's almost as easy to customize their sound for your room and type of music.<BR/><BR/>The most basic control is the Input Gain, which determines the signal level before it reaches the power amp. This is part of gain-staging your overall system-that is, setting the levels for every part of the recording chain in order to get the optimal level of clean audio all the way through. Once you've gain-staged your system, you can leave this control alone.<BR/><BR/>The Eris E5/E8 provides three EQ controls in its Acoustic Tuning section: High, Mid, and Low Cutoff. These controls enable you to<ul><li>8-inch Kevlar low-frequency transducer</li><li>1-inch (25 mm), ultra-low-mass, silk-dome, high-frequency transducer</li><li>130 watt Class AB biamplification</li><li>Front-firing acoustic port for superior bass-frequency reproduction</li><li>Midrange (6 dB, continuously variable), HF (6 dB, continuously variable), High-Pass (Off, 80
