Fully featured with fantastic sound reproduction, quality build and functions to help you achieve the best acoustic response for your studio space, the Eris E5 XT are an incredibly popular monitor, suitable for audio production across a wide range of genres. The Eris E5 XT is a substantial update to a lauded classic. Deeper lows and a wider, more controlled sweet spot (thanks to its new EBM wave guide design) mean that our best-selling studio monitors just got even better.
The XT model of the Eris series has been built with new Elliptical Boundary Modelled wave guide technology. This has been developed by Hugh Sarvis from WorxAudio, known for his previous (award-winning) designs on other PreSonus speaker series. The result? A superior high-frequency response and wider 100-degree horizontal dispersion to create a broader sweet spot. It’s ideal for group listening and collaboration—while narrow vertical dispersion reduces reflections from your desk. Silk-dome tweeters ensure snappy, accurate transient reproduction.
The XTs give you that well-known, trademark sound. Great low-end with lots of clarity and no fluffiness. Eris E5 XT studio monitors sport a ported enclosure that is larger than that of their predecessors, allowing them to reach down to an astonishing 48 Hz. That's 10 Hz below previous models—with no subwoofer required!
It doesn't matter if your studio is at home or in a professional setting, the Eris monitors feature easy-to-use controls to help you achieve a flattest response possible, whatever your surroundings. Acoustic tuning controls allow you to configure the Eris E5 XT perfectly for your room—you get Low-cut, Mid, and High controls, as well as 3-way acoustic space tuning that allows you to easily compensate for the sonic consequences of speaker placement against a wall or in a corner.
Connectivity is simple, with the ability to send audio to the E5 XTs from a range of sources, like an interface, mixer or most other line-level outputs. You’ll have no problem hooking your Eris speakers up to virtually anything.
The versatile Eris XT is a studio monitor built to suit a range of applications and spaces. Giving you top-notch audio and control enough to tweak the sound to match your environment, it's the quality design PreSonus are known for!
