PreSonus Eris E5 High-Definition 2-way 5.25" Studio Monitor

When you’re ready to get serious about recording, it’s time to step up to PreSonus Eris-series studio monitors. Cheap computer speakers and home-stereo speakers won’t reveal the truth about your mix. They aren’t designed for that.

In contrast, 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.

Notes Craig Anderton in his EM review of the E8 (March 2013), "The bass is tight and defined, with solid transient response, and the highs are accurate.... Accuracy is paramount in the studio, because transportability is crucial—and the E8 scores high in that regard." Adds Strother Bullins (Pro Audio Review, September 2013), "Overall, the monitors are impressively frequency neutral with great imaging." Trevor Curwen (Future Music, July 2013) concurs: "Clarity is good and the overall balance of frequencies is one that you can work with, the top end coming through prominently and clearly revealing the detail, while the bottom end is tight and focussed and extends down far enough to allow you to make those important mix decisions."

The E5 delivers less bass than the E8 but according to Recording magazine's Mike Metlay (March 2013), "The rolloff in the bass was polite and smooth, and there was a lot of thump in kick drums and solid harmonic structure in bass guitars and low piano notes.... Mids were forward and rockin’, with vocals and guitars prominent and detailed; on acoustic tracks, details like finger squeaks on strings and breaths for phrasing were clear and evident.... Highs were extended and smooth, without any edgy spikiness or resonances that leaped out; finger cymbals and hi-hats were clear and bright, and when an artist substituted a sample for the real thing, you could often tell."

Indeed, thanks to well-designed Kevlar^® low frequency transducers, low-mass silk-dome tweeters, responsive Class AB amplification, and professional acoustic-adjustment controls, all Eris models deliver the goods.

Yet Eris-series speakers are ultra-affordable, making them a terrific value. And with three models, you can easily find the Eris monitor that best suits your studio needs.
