Best-selling Studio Monitors Just Got
Better!
With their smooth, accurate frequency response; powerful amplification with tons of headroom; and acoustic tuning functions that ensure you always get the best sound, it's no wonder that Eris-series studio monitors have been a runaway hit since their introduction. The Eris E8 XT builds on the Eris XT series, adding big, controlled bass in a compact form that will fit into a studio of nearly any size. Deep lows and a wide more controlled sweet spot(thanks to its EBM waveguide design) mean that these best selling studio monitors just got better!
