collapse expand iconDescription

The PreSonus Eris Studio 5 active reference monitor is a 2-way system consisting of a 5.25" woven-composite woofer and a 1" silk-dome high-frequency driver. Noted for its detail and transparency, the Studio 5 speaker brings superior sound quality to home and project studios. This offers producers and engineers the fidelity they need to make informed mixing and mastering decisions for music that sounds great on any playback system—most importantly, ensuring it translates to consumer devices. The second-generation Eris Studio 5 contains substantial updates to its predecessor, improving both low- and high-end frequency response for even greater accuracy from the already award-winning PreSonus speaker formula. With an ideal combination of physical size, low-end extension and total volume output, Eris Studio 5 monitors are an exceptional reference speaker for small- or medium-size tracking and mixing rooms.     

PreSonus Eris Studio 5 Mixing

Accurate and Reliable Monitoring

The Studio 5 speaker pushes 80 bi-amped watts—a notable boost in efficiency over the previous generation’s design, which supports crystal-clear sound reproduction with a maximum level of 102dB SPL. A 5" driver and front-firing bass port help generate punchy lows down to an impressive 48Hz (without a subwoofer), while an ultralow-mass tweeter takes over at 3.5kHz and carries the rest of the spectrum up to 20kHz. PreSonus Eris Studio 5 monitors provide rich lows and controlled highs for organic, uncolored playback that’s both accurate and reliable. Whether the Studio 5 is your primary or secondary set of monitors, its trustworthiness is a pivotal step toward better mix decisions that are never lost in translation.

PreSonus Eris Studio 5 Acoustic Tuning Controls

Acoustic Tuning Controls

A ton of design expertise goes into building big-budget mix rooms as acoustically neutral environments where speaker monitors can really shine. The PreSonus Eris Studio 5 demystifies this process with onboard EQ, for those of us who can’t un-parallel our walls or invest in custom acoustic treatment. Its clever Acoustic Tuning system includes an optional high-pass filter at 80 or 100Hz; an Acoustic Space switch with flat, -2 and -4dB notches to compensate for boundary bass boost when speakers are positioned near a wall; and a pair of Mid and High shelving EQs at 1kHz and 10kHz with ±6dB of range. These intelligent, intuitive inclusions make it easy to dial in the "flatness" we want from a monitor despite an acoustically imperfect room trying to interfere.

PreSonus Eris Studio 5 Reference Monitor

Elliptical Boundary Modeled (EBM) Waveguide

Eris Studio 5 monitors have a custom-designed waveguide surrounding the high-frequency driver to give it an ultrawide horizontal dispersion measurement of 120°. For listeners, this means a much broader sweet spot than you’d get without EBM technology, as well as a more pronounced stereo image that’s immersive in its scope. Meanwhile, narrow vertical dispersion (60°) prevents desktop reflections from smearing the frequencies you’re hearing, so audio is always as crisp as can be. On their own, the Eris Studio 5 silk-dome tweeters are snappy and responsive, capable of reproducing transients with absolute precision. Paired with the PreSonus EBM waveguide, their performance is naturally enhanced for even more width and detail.

PreSonus Eris Studio 5 Stylish Design

Stylish Design

Not only can PreSonus Eris Studio 5 monitors help take your mixes to new levels—they also look good while doing it. The sleek all-black enclosure sets off the dark blue composite woofer, and the driver's woven texture is an aesthetically pleasing juxtaposition to an otherwise ultrasmooth look. A thin blue power indicator, centered in a groove just above the bass port, subtly lets you know when the Studio 5 is on or off. The understated elegance of PreSonus Eris Studio 5 monitors makes them a welcome addition to any mix space.       

The PreSonus Eris Studio 5 reference monitor has a smooth, even frequency response that takes the guesswork out of mixing. Execute mix moves to taste with reliable information from the Eris Studio; carve out a space for rumbling bass and make vocals sparkle with airy top end. These speakers have your back across the entire spectrum, so you can hear your work like never before. Demo a pair of PreSonus Eris Studio 5 monitors at your local Guitar Center, and see if they become your new go-tos.
