Accurate Sound and Wide Sweet Spot

The EBM (Elliptical Boundary Modeled) waveguide delivers a consistent high-frequency response and wide horizontal dispersion, giving you a generous sweet spot for mixing. Narrow vertical dispersion reduces reflections from desks or surfaces, allowing for better stereo imaging and precision even in untreated rooms.

Acoustic Control and Room Adaptation

Thanks to the comprehensive Acoustic Tuning section, the Eris Studio 8 can be perfectly adjusted to any acoustic environment. The variable HF and Mid controls and the three-position Acoustic Space switch help you adapt the monitor’s performance to different room placements, whether in a small home setup or a large control room.

Solid Construction and Modern Design

The dense, vinyl-laminated MDF cabinet ensures stability and reduces unwanted vibrations. Its elegant design improves both aesthetics and acoustic performance. The front bass port allows for flexible placement close to walls without sacrificing low-end precision.

Flexible Connectivity

The Eris Studio 8 offers versatile connection options including balanced XLR, balanced TRS ¼", and unbalanced RCA inputs — making it compatible with virtually any audio interface, mixer, or controller. The built-in power supply with IEC connector and power switch adds everyday convenience.
