What do you look for when looking to purchase new studio monitors?

[@Syklopz]

I’ve been using the previous version of the Eris 8s for a few years. They were my upgrade from the KRK Rocket 5s

[@Cola.Cube.]

A loan😂😂

[@thamjam90]

Transparent. I have Eris E5xt. They're MORE than enough for a bedroom sized studio like I have :)

[@JankoFrancisty]

I stopped looking a couple of years ago when i got my pair of 8's of these bad boys ! They are awesome ! Especially when you consider the price !! So i got the first series of Eris, they are slightly different looking than these ones. Did they change something inside also ? Did they add something new maybe ? I would really want to know. I'm really satisfied with them. I worked on Alesis, Dynaudio, JBL before and i honestly found these to be the flattest most accurate sounding of them all ! I was comparing them with Adam audio T7V and Yamaha HS8 and the Eris ruled them all. Every single thing you do in the mix, comes out on the finished track and that's what i needed (as everyone does). I have mine set up on FLAT everything i think.. Maybe i turned the -2 switch on but not sure.. If the room is treated i guarantee anyone who gets them will be happy. I know i am. I wouldn't trade them for different ones ever.

[@marc_leblanc]

I like what you said about the monitors showing your flaws rather than compensating (i.e. your low-end example). Accuracy is super important.

[@earledaniels4539]

Presonus has always produced great hardware and software at affordable prices. They are a fantastic company that genuinely cares about its customers. Even though they are owned by Fender, their ethos still stands true.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@mallorga1965]

I've owned the previous version of these since 2016 and I know I'd have to spend quite a lot of money to better their performance. Glad to see this video with your more than qualified impression on them. Thanks!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@pascalmerschaudio]

wow thats cool, the first time that i see PreSonus Gear on this Channel. PreSonus Rocks

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! Stay tuned for more!

[@Simeonital]

Love everything Presonus including Studio One. I have the Eris e5’s with a T10 sub. However, that’s mainly for general music listening as I don’t have a treated room and therefore tend to mix through headphones. Namely, the ones manufactured by the company owned by the gentleman mixing in the next door studio. I hope he’s using them too.😅 Good to hear Hurricane again as I enjoyed mixing that track. Must revisit the 2 track and see if it still sounds good to me.

[@nickszabodrums]

Hi sir, would you recommend these over the Adam Audio T8Vs? Thank you

[@polksalad77]

Really looking forward to the ultimate shoot out between these and the Kali lp 8.

[@Producelikeapro]

Stay tuned! More to come!

Great review, Presonus have built their way up over the years, good on them. Thanks very much

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Joey! Thanks for watching!

[@tommymartini34]

Great review as always. Would love to hear the new coaxials. Have you ever reviewed the sceptres? The new coax is a budget version I assume. I have the sceptre s8's going 4 maybe 5 years strong and I absolutely love them. I've been through a lot of monitors and also tested some of my friends monitors including the barefoots but definitely not ridding my sceptres anytime soon. I absolutely love them!

[@philcorymusic]

I have had Eris e5s for 4 years now, bring the detail out brilliantly, you instantly know if you are overdoing an instrument or frequency. Well done!

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous! Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@mikemeengs5720]

Same here (hear?), but I added the T8 sub. I think it's a great setup for my small apartment, but a picky neighbor moved in right next door. I bought some good headphones, but miss cranking my great sounding speakers! Cheers!

[@philcorymusic]

@@mikemeengs5720 Sorry to hear that but yeah great choice! I also like that they are front ported for small rooms. Fingers crossed you get some music loving neighbours. 👍

[@StelaPop]

Great informational review helping us learn about tech while also learning about qualities which can help us understand and observe what is recorded in order to make adjustments when necessary.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much! Glad to be able to help!

[@pocketdrummer9192]

I have the 1st Gen E8s combined with T8 Temblor the trio sounds great. Had them for like 6 years or so and couldn't be happier, recently had a scare and thought 1 of them went out but it was just a cord lol. Was thinking of upgrading to the new Gen but don't really need it but the new Gens sound great

[@tokyoskyline1752]

Hi Warren. Will you be trying out the new Eris Pro (coaxial) monitors. Although a hobbyist I'm drawn to coaxials for some reasons and because of budget limitations have some Prodipe TDC 6's, at the moment.

[@Tryggvasson]

i have the e5s from presonus. like you've said, wide sweet spot, great stereo field, good detail and separation. they tend to be a little bit boomy in the 100 hz region - it's true, though, that the speakers are placed against a wall, one of them in a corner. could you review the presonus r65 - maybe detail the differences between the 1st and the 2nd generation? i'm looking at those for good bedroom size speakers - and they're supposed to be even better than the e series. also great value - those may be the best choice range for a home/bedroom studio. that aside, great gear in that room of yours. i like the dbx and the neve, what's that, a 1084? and that small console in the corner looks delicious.

[@TomCawoski]

Glad to hear that you like those monitors Warren. I'm curious, have you done a video featuring Jay Kaufman who I believe you named as the guy who designed your new studio? I think it would be great to hear his views on studio design and anything he could share that could help us home studio owners. Just a suggestion. Cool video. Thanks!!! 😎🎶

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Tom! Not yet, would LOVE to talk to Jay!

[@leefchapman]

$200 a monitor for 8-inch monitors? Flip me. Exciting times.

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thanks Lee!

[@glennh7297]

I mix on a pair of E7 xt, and they are great for the low cost. I find them to translate as well as substantially higher priced mix monitors. I took a trial due to how cheap they were, and the positive reviews, and kept them. The waveguide horizontal dispersion is 110, so I'm guessing that the new Studio has a widened profile for 120 degrees, with all else being equal to the prior E8 xt model. Thanks again for all that you share.

[@Knutorius]

It's important to note that these are not E8's but E8 XT's which are a reworked model of the original E8. They have an extended low end and a special tweeter setup for a wider sweetspot and less reflexions on the table. I initially owned the E8 until the tweeters failed and I had to bring them back to the vendor. They were basically forced to refund me within their extend 3 year warranty because Presonus didn't want to repair them after their own 2 year warranty ended. Not sure what that says about Presonus.. Besides that I do like both models, but these are/were my first monitors, so...

[@jeffmolek2]

I have a set of the first gen eris e8's and I think they're great. Not mind blowing, but leagues beyond the other similarly priced 8's I've heard. I think the newer Eris series monitors benefit from a redesigned HF driver geometry. They sorta make it into a horn, which really helps project the higher frequencies from the cut-rate driver they most likely use. Like obviously my Focal solo 6s have so much more clarity in that upper register, but the beryllium driver alone in one of those costs more than the presonus monitors as a whole.

[@paolotonolo1140]

Sorry ..off topic , but man ..i love that song Hurricane...I'd love to hear that preformance live.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Paolo!

[@Simeonital]

Me too. I enjoyed mixing that song.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!@@Simeonital

[@RudeRecording]

Just a thought, why not share these samples with a set of stealth recording mics that would actually share what you hear? Or perhaps with a Neuman Oscar or a 3Dio FS Pro II which would give us a better representation of what the speakers actually sound like in the studio?At least it would be more accurate than the leakage from your lav. I've been using a soundfield mic [tetrahedron] with a calibration curve for ambient capture at live recordings and the results have been quite dramatic. Something like that might also work.

[@Producelikeapro]

We are definitely going to do a shootout where we compare speakers and give everyone the opportunity to hear through a stereo set up!

[@L.Scott_Music]

I have the previous model of these speakers and they are pretty good so I don't doubt this improved version is great. But my question is how did you fix the issues with baritone and bass together? I never thought that would be a problem but I've not tried it yet. I would love to learn more about making that work.

[@johnmcvicker6728]

I use the Eris 5 and they're pretty good. The 8" look quite nice here.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@tonytec59vmix]

Hello & thank's for the share warren. Alway's looking for bang for your buck product's & presonus is great for that, The monitor's sounded beautiful clear & in your face even tho they were coming thru a microphone, Also like the recording console in the review what was that beautiful look beast? One of the remixed you played back sounded like beyonce havnt heard that song what was the name of it?? will enter the contest , Wow this would be a major upgrade from presonus av42.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for sharing Jonathan!

[@bobpaker430]

better than their 5XT who are to much in V eq, the issue of 8" is to place it, can find much better but smaller like jbl (and better sound dispersion) or focal alpha evo, kali , adam always tend to boost high mid treble 1 or 2 db more than others. Prefer less with precision than to much with 8"

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@thiagomatson517]

I´m listening to those great works at my Msp5 Yamaha monitors. I´m actually needing more definiton on the low ends.

[@Producelikeapro]

The lapel mic really does NOT show off the speakers!

[@arbogast4950]

I have the old (2019) E5s, and I've had a lot of problems with the soldering on my monitors and Sub. The sub went after the warranty but the Eris' were covered. I hope they stepped up the build quality on these.

[@Simeonital]

That’s a shame. I’ve had my 5s and T10 sub for about 4 years with no issues whatsoever.

[@zazoomatt]

5XT's and 2014 Berhringer NEXXST 6's which work well for my Small 10x10x10 Studio w/10 200w Sub with Super-X Pro. Thanks for this Opportunity !

[@Excaidus-Metal]

You can tell the acoustics in that room are amazing just hearing your voice in the video. My control room is most likely too small for 8's unfortunately.

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, wonderful sounding rooms, very blessed!

[@citronialandmark476]

Gonna use the pre 5 for additional reference monitors along with my Yamaha 8. Hearing good thing's.

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous! Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@KwijiboZeb]

Hello Warren, thanks for the review. I'm right now hesitating between the Kali Lp6v2 and this new studio 8 from presonus. Is there a big difference between the two for mixing the low end and hear the rumble of a bass or kick drum ? Does the studio 8 is a lot different than the eris e8xt or it's just aestetics ? Thanks a lot Warren, love your vidéos, you rocks !

[@Brutuscomedy]

I bought one. Yes, one (for mono mixing). But I actually do something probably no one else does with this monitor. I double mic it and use it as a guitar cab basically. I'm running through an analog Tech 21 Tri-AC into the speaker and throwing a sm57 close midway on the cone and a Cascade Fathead II ribbon mic around a foot from the tweeter. I blend the two, using the latter just for high frequency content. Ya never know how much mileage you can get from one piece of gear! I could even mic this for bass guitar (and may). Anyhow, while I loved my pair of much more expensive monitors with ribbon tweeters, this model is sufficiently revealing and the low cut option is amazing for untreated rooms. I find removing those sub 80Hz frequencies makes focusing on the main mix easier and then headphones and checking on other speakers, such as portable bluetooth, does the trick to get that sorted. still using the Blue Sadies you once recommended and they just served me well during my first session ever trying out Mix:analog (and their Fairchild clone, which is AMAZING!) hard to believe I acquired mine new from zZounds for only $159 What about the subwoofer, Warren?

[@sunartica3353]

what about the coaxial model? would you recommend vs the focal shape 50?

[@Producelikeapro]

I haven't tried the Coaxial model yet! Would love to!

[@krzysiek5209]

Great video! I am looking for speakers to listen to music and watch movies in my room. I almost bought the Edifier S2000MKIII, but then I found those speakers. I am wondering how the PreSonus speakers would work, not for music production, but just for music listening.

[@Mister_Jahn]

exciting what is available now... Ive still got a set of 25 year old rear ported externally powered things (I mix in headphones a lot though). This would be a step up.

[@hl321662]

Am producing some bass heavy electronic music, trap, dubstep kind of a thing, looking to upgrade my current setup, a pair of erix 8 XT's, am thinking these, paired with the eris 10" sub, or, jump ships and get the focal alpha evo's paired with their sub one...any thoughts? Anybody? 😂

[@markusrayan]

How do these compare to the older E8 XT? Looking at the specs they're mostly the same but the crossover frequency is different (higher on the newer Studio 8) and slight differences in the dispersion angles. Currently own the E8 XT's and really like them but would these be a worthwhile 'upgrade'?

[@austinbridge]

Hopefully you can review the Eris Pro 8's for us as well and/or the Eris Pro series in general. Thank you!

[@christopherstorrier5560]

I bought a pair of Eris XT8's...got them for a good price brand new...very impressed...after running in for a couple of weeks with a burn in CD on repeat they sound fantastic, for the price the amps inside & drive units are really good quality...luv the 1.25" tweeter with a 100° x 60° wide dispertion tweeter wave guide....the best bit for me is you can ajust the mids as well as the treble & various bass options making them easy to dial in a good sound in most rooms....after burning in the bass is clearer,i play bass so hence buying the XT8's rather than smaller models in the range....the best i've ever bought...used with quad star XLR cables squeezes the best out of them but have to watch the volume level as 6db gain using quad star studio quality XLR cables....yours should be sounding burnt in now & even better than when you first heard them in this video....happy mixing 👍🎸🎤

[@vilddyr]

Turn down the HF 1-1,5db and these speakers are basically close to perfect for that kind of money. I think the value from these are insane, but as everything in the price bracket, they are voiced too bright from factory. Dressed to impress I guess 😂
