help PreSonus Eris E8 XT FAQ

What is the difference between the PreSonus Eris E8 and the E8 XT?

The XT version features an updated EBM (Enhanced Bass Mechanics) waveguide that provides a wider sweet spot and better high-frequency dispersion. It also utilizes an improved kevlar woofer for a more accurate low-end response compared to the original E8.

Do I need a subwoofer if I have the PreSonus Eris E8 XT monitors?

Thanks to the 8-inch woofer, the E8 XT reaches down to roughly 35 Hz, which is significantly deeper than standard 5-inch monitors. While you can mix bass-heavy genres without a subwoofer, adding a dedicated unit like the PreSonus Temblor T10 will give you ultra-low sub-bass frequencies.

Should I place the PreSonus Eris E8 XT vertically or horizontally?

Studio monitors should always be placed vertically on your desk stands. Placing them horizontally can cause phase issues between the tweeter and the woofer, distorting the stereo imaging and frequency response.
