Essential Information About the PreSonus Eris Studio 5 Monitoring Speaker
- Deep and clear bass down to 48 Hz without a subwoofer, for reliable balance in a home studio.
- EBM "Elliptical Boundary Modeled" waveguide with 100deg x 60deg dispersion for a wide sweet spot and controlled highs.
- 80 W bi-amplification (45 W + 35 W) and max SPL of 102 dB at 1 m for comfortable dynamic headroom.
- Comprehensive acoustic adjustments: Low Cut 80/100 Hz, Bell at 1 kHz +/-6 dB, Shelf at 10 kHz +/-6 dB, "Acoustic Space" -2/-4 dB.
A Significant Evolution in the Eris Line
Direct descendant of the award-winning Eris series monitors, the Eris Studio 5 modernizes the formula with more punch in the low end and better-controlled highs. Its new optimized enclosure enhances the efficiency of the EBM waveguide to reveal micro-details in your recordings and provide a stable stereo image, even during long mixing sessions.
Designed for Demanding Home Studios and Small Control Rooms
Designed for nearfield listening, the Eris Studio 5 fits ideally on a desk or short stands, at 0.7-1.5 m from the engineer. The narrow vertical dispersion limits reflections from the work surface, while the XLR/TRS/RCA connectivity makes it compatible with most audio interfaces, consoles, and reference players.
Precision and Control at Your Fingertips
Custom EBM Waveguide
The 1" silk dome tweeter is paired with an EBM waveguide that widens the listening area and shapes the high-frequency response. The result: clear transients, airy cymbals, and a stable image when you slightly move your head.
Firm Bass, More Confident Mixes
The 5.25" woven composite woofer delivers controlled and punchy lows. The tuned enclosure and dedicated bi-amplification ensure tightness, clarity in the low-mids, and impact without overload, useful for gauging kicks, basses, and sub-basses.
Fine Room Adaptation
The onboard equalizations and "Low Cut" and "Acoustic Space" switches facilitate monitor calibration near a wall, on a desk, or on isolation pads. You get a consistent response regardless of the environment.
