Key features

  • 5.25-Inch Woven Composite Woofer

    Produces tight, clear, and punchy bass while helping reduce unwanted reflected energy.

  • 1-Inch Silk-Dome Tweeter

    Delivers smooth high frequencies and accurate transient reproduction for detailed studio monitoring.

  • EBM Waveguide Technology

    Provides 100-degree horizontal sound dispersion for a wider sweet spot suited to group listening and collaboration.

  • Controlled Vertical Dispersion

    Narrower vertical dispersion helps reduce reflections from desks and other nearby surfaces.

  • Extended Low-Frequency Response

    The larger ported enclosure allows the monitor to reach down to 48 Hz without requiring a subwoofer for many monitoring applications.

  • Front-Firing Acoustic Port

    Supports bass-frequency reproduction and contributes to the monitor's extended low-frequency performance.

  • 70-Watt Class AB Biamplification

    Provides 70 watts of amplification with ample headroom for studio monitoring.

  • HF Adjust Control

    Offers continuously variable high-frequency adjustment of ±6 dB to help tailor the monitor's tonal balance.

  • Midrange Adjust Control

    Provides continuously variable midrange adjustment of ±6 dB for adapting the sound to the listening environment.

  • Three-Position Acoustic Space Control

    Offers flat, -2 dB, and -4 dB settings to compensate for bass buildup caused by monitor placement near walls or corners.

  • Selectable Highpass Filter

    Provides Off, 80 Hz, and 100 Hz settings to support different monitoring configurations and subwoofer integration.

  • Multiple Audio Inputs

    Includes balanced XLR, balanced ¼-inch TRS, and unbalanced RCA inputs for connecting compatible audio equipment.

  • Resonance-Suppressing Internal Bracing

    Optimized internal cabinet bracing helps suppress unwanted resonance for cleaner sound reproduction.

  • Comprehensive Protection Circuitry

    Includes protection against RF interference, excessive output current, overheating, transients, and subsonic signals.

  • Soft-Start Amplifier

    Reduces popping sounds during power-up for a more controlled startup.

  • Convenient Power Controls

    Features an internal power supply with an IEC connector and a power switch with an on/off LED.

03 / SYSTEM DETAILS

ERIS-E5-XT system details

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.

High-Frequency Driver

A 1-inch (25 mm) ultra-low-mass silk-dome tweeter reproduces high frequencies and transients with clarity and precision.

EBM Waveguide

The Elliptical Boundary Modeled waveguide provides 100-degree horizontal dispersion, creating a wider listening sweet spot for individual monitoring, group listening, and collaborative production.

Vertical Sound Dispersion

Narrow vertical dispersion helps minimize reflections from desktop surfaces, reducing unwanted interference in the listening environment.

Bass Response and Enclosure

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.

Amplification

The monitor uses 70-watt Class AB biamplification to power its low- and high-frequency drivers with suitable headroom for studio monitoring.

Acoustic Tuning

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.

Highpass Filtering

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 Audio Connections

Balanced XLR and ¼-inch TRS inputs support compatible professional audio interfaces, mixers, and monitor controllers.

Unbalanced Audio Connection

The RCA input provides an additional connection option for compatible unbalanced line-level sources.

Protection and Reliability

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.

Power Supply

An internal power supply with an IEC connector and a power switch with an on/off LED provide convenient power connection and status indication.
