The Eris E5 Two-Way Active 5.25" 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 E5 begins with a front-ported enclosure made of vinyl-laminated MDF. It features a 5.25" Kevlar low-frequency driver mated with a 45W, Class-AB amplifier. For the highs, Eris employs a 1" silk-dome tweeter powered by a 35W, Class-AB amplifier. The E5 outputs a clean 102 dB peak SPL. Its frequency response is rated at 64 Hz to 22 kHz.
The Eris E5 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.
Acoustic Tuning Controls
The High control is a shelving filter that boosts or cuts all frequencies above 4.5 kHz by as much as 6 dB. The Mid control is a mid-frequency peak filter that boosts or cuts frequencies centered at 1 kHz and extending about one octave above and below that frequency. The Low Cutoff control rolls off frequencies below either 80 or 100 Hz at a slope of 12 dB/octave. This control is especially useful if you also have a connected subwoofer.
