Low-Frequency Driver
The monitor uses a 5.25-inch woven composite transducer designed to provide tight, clear bass with a punchy response and reduced unwanted reflected energy.


Enhanced Studio Monitoring with Deeper Bass and a Wider Sweet Spot
The PreSonus Eris E5 XT is a professional active studio monitor designed to deliver accurate sound reproduction, deeper bass, and a wider listening sweet spot. Featuring a 5.25-inch woven composite woofer, a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter, and an innovative Elliptical Boundary Modeled (EBM) waveguide, it provides controlled sound dispersion and detailed high-frequency performance. Its 70-watt Class AB biamplification, customizable acoustic controls, and multiple input options make it suitable for music production, recording, mixing, and home studio applications.

Produces tight, clear, and punchy bass while helping reduce unwanted reflected energy.
Delivers smooth high frequencies and accurate transient reproduction for detailed studio monitoring.
Provides 100-degree horizontal sound dispersion for a wider sweet spot suited to group listening and collaboration.
Narrower vertical dispersion helps reduce reflections from desks and other nearby surfaces.
The larger ported enclosure allows the monitor to reach down to 48 Hz without requiring a subwoofer for many monitoring applications.
Supports bass-frequency reproduction and contributes to the monitor's extended low-frequency performance.
Provides 70 watts of amplification with ample headroom for studio monitoring.
Offers continuously variable high-frequency adjustment of ±6 dB to help tailor the monitor's tonal balance.
Provides continuously variable midrange adjustment of ±6 dB for adapting the sound to the listening environment.
Offers flat, -2 dB, and -4 dB settings to compensate for bass buildup caused by monitor placement near walls or corners.
Provides Off, 80 Hz, and 100 Hz settings to support different monitoring configurations and subwoofer integration.
Includes balanced XLR, balanced ¼-inch TRS, and unbalanced RCA inputs for connecting compatible audio equipment.
Optimized internal cabinet bracing helps suppress unwanted resonance for cleaner sound reproduction.
Includes protection against RF interference, excessive output current, overheating, transients, and subsonic signals.
Reduces popping sounds during power-up for a more controlled startup.
Features an internal power supply with an IEC connector and a power switch with an on/off LED.
The monitor uses a 5.25-inch woven composite transducer designed to provide tight, clear bass with a punchy response and reduced unwanted reflected energy.
A 1-inch (25 mm) ultra-low-mass silk-dome tweeter reproduces high frequencies and transients with clarity and precision.
The Elliptical Boundary Modeled waveguide provides 100-degree horizontal dispersion, creating a wider listening sweet spot for individual monitoring, group listening, and collaborative production.
Narrow vertical dispersion helps minimize reflections from desktop surfaces, reducing unwanted interference in the listening environment.
The larger ported enclosure and front-firing acoustic port allow the Eris E5 XT to extend low-frequency response to 48 Hz, approximately 10 Hz lower than the original Eris E5 according to the supplied product description.
The monitor uses 70-watt Class AB biamplification to power its low- and high-frequency drivers with suitable headroom for studio monitoring.
HF Adjust and Midrange Adjust controls each provide continuously variable adjustment of ±6 dB. The three-position Acoustic Space control offers flat, -2 dB, and -4 dB settings to help compensate for room-related bass buildup.
The selectable highpass filter provides Off, 80 Hz, and 100 Hz settings for adapting the monitor to different system configurations, including setups using a subwoofer.
Balanced XLR and ¼-inch TRS inputs support compatible professional audio interfaces, mixers, and monitor controllers.
The RCA input provides an additional connection option for compatible unbalanced line-level sources.
Built-in protection circuitry addresses RF interference, output current limiting, excessive temperature, transient signals, and subsonic signals. The amplifier's soft-start feature helps eliminate popping during power-up.
An internal power supply with an IEC connector and a power switch with an on/off LED provide convenient power connection and status indication.
