Presonus Refreshes Eris Family of Studio Monitors Including New Coaxial Pro Model for Dolby Atmos

PreSonus Audio Electronics, announced its refreshed line of Eris Studio Monitors that will now be available in three distinct tiers — Essential, Studio and Pro. This tier system is intended to ensure that any creator, from casual bedroom songwriters to home studios or project studios will be able to explore the best features of each product to further their craft. As the studio arm of Fender, PreSonus is reimagining its product portfolio with an increasing focus on musicians and music production.

In what is certainly great news for all other OEM amplifier companies, Pascal A/S of Copenhagen, Denmark, which recently had decided to compete directly with its former amplifier clients with the launch of Blaze Audio, is now also going to sell speakers, competing directly with what last clients it still had. To push forward with this strategy, Pascal acquired the former WorxAudio IP from Presonus/Fender and hired its veteran team, led by Hugh Sarvis.

Offering accurate frequency response and powerful amplification, the original Eris-series studio monitors have been a successful product for PreSonus. Now, a new intermediate model Eris E7 XT offers big, controlled bass in a compact form that will fit into a studio of nearly any size, featuring the same Elliptical Boundary Modeled (EBM) waveguide design by Hugh Sarvis of WorxAudio, and using silk-dome tweeters and 7-inch woofers in a ported enclosure, providing a wider 100-degree horizontal dispersion.

Suitable for both home recording studios and professional environments, PreSonus' Eris studio monitors are very affordable options with respectable specifications. Now, the company introduced two new Eris XT models with improved features, new drivers, a larger ported enclosure, and a new Elliptical Boundary Modeled (EBM) waveguide design, the work of Hugh Sarvis (WorxAudio). The Eris XT monitors are a substantial update, offering superior high-frequency response and wider 100-degree horizontal dispersion to create a broader sweet spot.

PreSonus has many great things in place to show at NAMM 2019, and the company just unveiled what its R&D team has been up to, including a major expansion on its professional sound reinforcement range with the new Constant Directivity Loudspeakers (CDL) Series. The new CDL12 Full-Range and CDL18s Active Subwoofer are the first products in the series and the result of years of research and development, combining the best attributes of point source and line array technology into a unique patent-pending design, ideal for both portable PA and installed sound applications.
