    Eris E8 XT: 2-Way Active Studio Monitors with Wave Guide

    E8 XT 02

    Our most successful studio monitors just got better.

    With their accurate frequency response, powerful amplification and acoustic tuning functions, it's no wonder that the original Eris monitors have been a hit. Eris E8 XT is a substantial update to a classic. Deeper lows and a wider sweet spot mean that our best-selling monitors just got even better.

    E8 XT 03

    Studio speakers with a wide sweet spot.

    Eris XT studio monitors have a new EBM (Elliptical Boundary Modeled) wave guide designed by the mind behind our award-winning CDL loudspeakers and R-Series monitors, giving superior high-frequency response and wider 100-degree horizontal dispersion to create a broader sweet spot.

    E8 XT 04

    E8 XT 05

    E8 XT 06

    E8 XT 07

    Lows that go lower.

    The familiar woven composite low-frequency driver still offers Eris' signature tight, clear bass; plenty of punch and no flub. Eris E8 XT studio monitors sport a ported enclosure that is larger than that of their predecessors, allowing them to reach down to an astonishing 35 Hz. That's 10 Hz below previous models—with no subwoofer required!

    Set up your studio monitors for your room.

    We know modern recording studios can be anywhere from a spare bedroom to a multi-million dollar facility; that's why every studio monitor we make is equipped with controls that ensure the flattest response in your mix environment. Acoustic tuning controls allow you to configure the Eris E8 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.

    Studio monitor connections.

    It’s easy to feed audio to your Eris E8 XT studio monitors from an audio interface, mixer, monitor controller, or almost any other line-level source. Eris E8 XT monitors provide balanced XLR, balanced ¼” TRS, and unbalanced RCA line-level inputs. You’ll have no problem hooking your Eris speakers up to virtually anything.

    Accuracy defined.

    Suitable for both home recording studios and professional mix engineering, the Eris XT studio monitors combine sterling audio quality with the flexible tuning and connectivity you've come to expect from PreSonus. It’s Eris, remastered.

    Product Description

    With the same robust connectivity options and powerful, articulate driver Combo, the Eris E8 XT studio monitor is a nuanced update to a lauded classic. The 1. 25-Inch silk-dome tweeter now sports a Hugh sarvis-designed EBM waveguide, delivering a wider and more controlled sweet spot ideal for group listening and collaboration. A larger, ported enclosure extends the bass response of the 8-inch woven composite low-frequency driver without adding any mud. And of course, the acoustic tuning controls let you flatten the frequency response in accordance with your mix environment. It’s Eris, remastered.

    Accurate clear foundation on a budget!
    I am a sound technician for a local church and demo CD producer. I use them with a Roland VS-2480EX DAW. I picked these speakers for the 8" mid woofer and price and I was thoroughly amazed! The highs are crystal clear and accurate, and the lower end is tight and deep from 50 to 90dB. They are a little "present" but come with a mid range pad that I have turned halfway down. I think this is due to my 57 year old ears, because when I set them up for room acoustics with my reference mic, out of the box they were +- 4 dB of flat from 18KHz down to 38 Hz. Presonus is known for their DAW software and mixers and with this line of Eris monitors, the buyer cannot go wrong. Exceptional performance for a monitor costing 3-4 times more!

    4.0 out of 5 stars JBL 308P Vs Eris E8 XT - I prefer the JBLs
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2023
    I will say before continuing, I purchased these at a 51% discount so Im looking at the perspective of these being about 160$ each or 350$ for the pair after taxes. In this context, despite my preference for the JBL 308P's, 350$ for a pair of 8 inch studio monitors is a no brainer. Given the choice Id be more than happy with these if I were a beginner producer wanting or needing large studio monitors. However I am not a beginner producer, so I need something more accurate and honest about what Im creating to make the best product I can.

    I will start with pros with the Eris E8 XT's.
    - Very professional looking and requires very little cleaning. microfiber cloth will be more than enough
    - Options for tuning the speaker is plentiful and should be good for adapting to any room
    - Packaging is simple and produces little waste
    - Mids and highs are clear and powerful
    - Listed Feq. response is accurate and can actually go below 20Hz with ease. Port is tuned to about 35 Hz.
    - Can get as loud as the JBL 308P's... kinda

    Cons about the Eris E8 XT's
    - Can not for the life of it handle any signal over about -10db. Will distort and become VERY muddy and bloated sounding. This is with gain in the middle and AS set to -4db. Sounds the same across all three settings.
    - has a certain Freq. range where the woofer just sounds like it wants to die. I believe around the 50-120ish Hz range where your kicks and most bass lives. Ive tested several genres of music and its the same results. kicks just huff and chuff and sounds like someone is hitting a wall
    - Bass sounds best behind the speaker? or like, right beside it? but nowhere infront of the speaker. Interesting.
    - Woofer is hitting max excursion at about 60-70% volume and I fear for its life span

    Eris E8 XT Vs. JBL 308P

    (as a reminder, this is subjective and this is taking MY specific setup into consideration. This may not apply to you)

    Bass reponse - JBL 308P
    Mids and Highs - Eris E8 XT
    Adjustability and versatility - Eris E8 XT
    High volume stability - JBL 308P
    Out of Box experience - JBL 308P
    Mix and Master - JBL 308P
    Best sweet spot - JBL 308P
    MSRP - JBL 308P
    Price to performance (at MSRP) - JBL 308P
    Price to performance (on sale) - Eris E8 XT
    Aesthetic - Eris E8 XT

    Now let me talk about introducing a subwoofer. If you let the subwoofer do all the bass work that the E8 XT cant do, these are better. However standalone I dont believe the JBL 308P needs a subwoofer, not unless you really need it. The JBL 308P is just a more refined speaker.

    My source is a Soundcraft Notepad-8fx and everything is running through Worlds Best Cables XLR cables. Speakers are place Aprox. 6 ft away from me and are 6 ft apart from eachother at the tweeters.

    All in all, I dont dislike these. at about 150$ a piece this is a great speaker. I just can not justify it costing over 300$ with its weaknesses. Be smart, buy these on sale.
