Presonus Eris Studio 5 Active Studio Monitors

The PreSonus Eris Studio 5 is a high-performance update to the classic Eris series, designed to provide a smooth, accurate frequency response for home studios and professional mixing environments. Technical Specifications LF Driver: 5.25-inch woven composite low-frequency transducer. HF Driver: 1-inch (25 mm), ultra-low-mass, silk-dome, high-frequency transducer. Frequency Response: 48 Hz to 20 kHz. Amplification: 80W Class AB bi-amplification. Peak SPL: 102 dB (at 1 meter). Input Impedance: 10 kΩ. Core Features EBM Waveguide Design: It features an Elliptically Boundary Modeled (EBM) waveguide designed by Hugh Sarvis. This provides a superior high-frequency response and a wide 120° horizontal dispersion, creating a broader “sweet spot” for listening. Front-Firing Acoustic Port: The front-firing port allows for superior bass-frequency reproduction and enables the speakers to be placed closer to walls without the “bass buildup” common in rear-ported monitors. Acoustic Tuning Controls: HF/Mid Trim: Boost or cut frequencies by ±6 dB to account for room acoustics. Acoustic Space: Three-way switch (Flat, −2 dB, −4 dB) to compensate for boundary bass boost when placed near walls or corners. Low Cut: High-pass filter options (Flat, 80 Hz, 100 Hz) for easy integration with a subwoofer. Connectivity Balanced XLR: Professional-grade connection for audio interfaces and mixers. Balanced 1/4″ TRS: Standard connection for studio gear. Unbalanced RCA: Convenient for consumer electronics or mobile devices.
