PRESONUS Eris E5 XT

The dual-band active studio monitor with EBM waveguide is popular among amateurs, world-renowned professionals and artists alike.

Precise waveform
With a balanced yet highly accurate frequency response, powerful amplifiers providing tremendous dynamic reserve, and acoustic tuning features that ensure you always get the best sound... it's no wonder the original Eris series studio monitors became a sales hit immediately after their introduction. The Eris E5 XT is a new and improved update to this beloved classic. Deeper bass and a wider, more controlled sweet spot (thanks to a newly designed elliptical waveguide) mean our best-selling studio monitors are now even better.

Even deeper bass
The well-known woven Kevlar composite low-frequency drivers still deliver Erisy's signature tight, clean and punchy bass that can kick. However, the Eris E5 XT studio monitors feature a longer overall bass response than their predecessor, allowing them to play stunning deep tones down to 48 Hz. That's 10 Hz lower than previous models - so you won't need a subwoofer.

Studio speakers with an even wider sweet spot
We've equipped the Eris XT studio monitors with a new elliptical waveguide designed by none other than WorxAudio's Hugh Sarvis, the man behind our highly acclaimed CDL Series speakers and popular R-Series monitors. And the result? Great treble response and a horizontal beam angle of more than 100 degrees, providing a very wide sweet spot. This is especially ideal if you need to collaborate during mixing and listen to a recording with a large group of people. What's more - the narrower vertical beam angle also reduces reflections from the desk or mixing desk, which otherwise often distort the presentation of the treble. The silk-diaphragm tweeters used ensure a snappy and faithful transient presentation.

Tune your monitors to your own space
We know that a modern recording studio can be located absolutely anywhere these days, whether it's a small bedroom or a purpose-built multi-million dollar building. That's why every one of our studio monitors is equipped with controls that can always be used to set the most balanced frequency response for your particular environment. Acoustic Tuning controls allow you to configure the Eris E5 XT monitors in your room perfectly. There's a Low-cut along with Mid and High controls, as well as a three-position Acoustic Space switch that lets you easily compensate for frequency deficiencies created by placing the monitors close to walls or in the corner of a room.

Connecting studio monitors
You can "feed" your Eris E5 XT monitors directly from a sound card, or via an analog or digital mixing console, monitor controller, or any other line-level signal source. In fact, the Eris E5 XT monitors are equipped with XLR and TRS symmetrical line inputs, as well as unbalanced RCA connectors. So you can easily connect your Eris monitors to literally anything.
