Overview:
The ERIS E8 Two-Way Active 8" Studio Monitor from
PRESONUS delivers an accurate response with tight bass and a clear upper end.
The Kevlar low frequency transducers, low-mass silk-dome tweeters and
responsive Class AB amplification combine with acoustic-adjustment controls to
create a versatile and adaptable listening system.
- The PRESONUS E8 begins with a front-ported enclosure made of
vinyl-laminated MDF. It features an 8" Kevlar low-frequency woofer driven
by a 75W, Class AB amplifier. For the highs, Eris employs a 1.25"
silk-dome tweeter powered by a 65W, Class AB amplifier. The E8 outputs a clean
105 dB peak SPL. Its frequency response is rated at 35Hz to 22kHz.
- The PRESONUS Eris E8 provides a balanced XLR, a balanced ¼" TRS,
and an unbalanced RCA line-level input. Once you're plugged in, set the Input
Gain and you're ready to go!
Features:
Acoustic Tuning Controls
- The Eris provides three EQ controls in its Acoustic Tuning
section: High, Mid, and Low Cutoff. These controls enable you to fine-tune the
monitors to your space. The Low control also is useful when using the E8 with a
subwoofer.
- The High control is a shelving filter that boosts or cuts
all frequencies above 4.5kHz by as much as 6dB. The Mid control is a
mid-frequency peak filter that boosts or cuts frequencies centered at 1kHz and
extending about one octave above and below that frequency. The Low Cutoff
control rolls off frequencies below either 80 or 100Hz at a slope of
12dB/octave. This control is especially useful if you also have a connected
subwoofer.
Acoustic Space Control
- A three-position Acoustic Space switch controls a
second-order, low shelving filter that cuts frequencies below 800 Hz by either
2 or 4dB to compensate for the boundary bass boost that occurs in close
proximity to walls or corners.
Thorough Protection Circuitry
- RF shielding protects against radio frequencies that could
be introduced to the signal and become audible. Eris monitors also provide
overheat protection, current-output limiting and subsonic protection.
"Soft startup" amplifiers prevent damaging pops from sounding through
the speakers when you power them up.
Rear Panel Features:
Inputs:
- Line-level Inputs. The Eris E8 provides a choice of three inputs: two balanced (XLR and ¼” TRS) and one unbalanced (RCA). These inputs
accept a line-level signal from your audio source and feed that signal to the
monitor’s built-in power amplifiers. These inputs are provided to allow for
flexible connectivity and not for connecting multiple sources to your speakers
simultaneously
- Input Gain: Sets the level of the input signal before it
is amplified.
Acoustic Tuning Controls:
- High: Boosts or cuts all frequencies above 4.5 kHz by ±6 dB.
- Mid: Boosts or cuts frequencies around 1 kHz by ±6 dB.
- Low Cutoff: Rolls off the level of all frequencies below
the specified frequency (80 or 100 Hz)
at a slope of -12 dB/octave. Can be defeated by setting it to Flat, in which
case, the monitor’s natural rolloff
takes over.
- Acoustic Space: Cuts the level of all frequencies below 800
Hz by the specified amount (-2 or -4 dB) to compensate for the bass boost that
occurs when the monitor is placed near a wall or corner. Can be defeated by
setting it to 0 dB.
Power:
- IEC Power Connection: Your Eris E8 accepts a standard IEC power cord
- Power Switch. This is the On/Off switch. The power status is indicated by an LED on the front of the cabinet
- AC Select Switch. The input-power voltage is set at the factory to correspond with the country in which it was shipped. Use this switch only if you are using your Eris speakers in a country that uses a different standard voltage than is used in the country where you purchased your Eris E8.
