With a smooth, accurate frequency response; powerful amplification with tons of headroom; and Acoustic Tuning functions that ensure you get the best sound, it's no wonder that Eris®-series studio monitors have been a runaway hit since their introduction. Building on the reputation of its award-winning predecessors, the Eris Studio 8 is a substantial update that delivers richer low-end and more controlled high-frequency response, reproducing every detail in your recordings with a natural sound unparalleled in its class.

Designed for superior performance in both home studios and professional mix rooms, the Eris Studio 8 features a custom-designed EBM (Elliptical Boundary Modeled) waveguide that provides superior high-frequency response and wide 120-degree horizontal dispersion to create a broader sweet spot. Narrow vertical dispersion reduces reflections from your desk, and a 1.25-inch, silk-dome tweeter ensures snappy, accurate transient reproduction. An elegant new enclosure design improves the waveguide performance so you'll hear the finest details in your mix.

The woven-composite, 8-inch, low-frequency driver offers Eris' signature tight, clear bass with plenty of punch. Its 140W of biamped power make the Eris Studio 8 more efficient than previous designs. The ported enclosure maximizes bass response and allows the Eris Studio 8 to reach down to an astonishing 35 Hz - with no subwoofer!

Flexible input options let you connect almost any line-level source, from mixers to audio interfaces and more. You'll have no problem hooking your Eris speakers up to virtually anything.

Tired of straining to hear underpowered headphones? The PreSonus® HP4 headphone-distribution system is louder than you're ever likely to need for session and stage use. (Be careful with that level control!) Yet the sound is clear and clean, with a wide dynamic range. At last, everybody will be able to hear!

Simplicity is the HP4's hallmark. It offers left and right line inputs, left and right line outputs with level control, and four headphone outs. You can sum the stereo signals to mono, adjust the individual headphone levels, and mute the rear-panel Monitor outputs while leaving the headphone outputs active. So while the HP4 is simple to set up and use, it has all the features you need to create a versatile headphone system.

The compact HP4 can sit on a tabletop or can be screw-mounted to a standard rack tray (not included), where it requires just one-third of a rackspace. If your needs grow, you can use the line outputs to feed the inputs of a second HP4 or the larger HP60 headphone amplifier.

So quit struggling with mediocre headphone amps. Get the PreSonus HP4 and hear everything loud and clear. You owe it to your music.

Need a little more low end? Add an Eris Sub8 BT to build a perfectly matched 2.1 sound system that fits almost anywhere

Adding a subwoofer to full-range speakers enables you to hear the low-frequency foundation of your mix more accurately so you can make better-informed decisions and create more translatable mixes. The surprisingly loud, 100 watt Eris® Sub 8BT drops down to a molar-rattling 30 Hz, so you'll hear the full sonic spectrum and produce better mixes. For EDM and hip-hop producers, in particular, a subwoofer is a must-have.

Although compatible with a variety of full-range studio monitors, the Eris Sub 8BT compact studio subwoofer was designed to complement the voicing and frequency response of the full range of compact Eris studio monitors, from the ultra-affordable Eris 3.5 to the Eris Studio 5.

The first PreSonus® studio subwoofer to offer Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless connectivity, the Eris Sub 8BT provides flexible wired connection options, as well, making it easy to add it to just about any monitoring setup. Onboard controls let you effortlessly create a 2.1 monitoring system and tune it to your room. Highpass filter and lowpass filter (crossover) controls ensure the Eris Sub 8BT starts working at the precise frequency where your main monitors stop, avoiding the flabby, smudged, low-end mess that occurs without a crossover.

Add a PreSonus Eris Sub 8BT subwoofer to your compact full-range system and hear, with precision accuracy, the powerful low-frequency sound you've been missing.

Powerful and musical, PreSonus® Temblor® T8 active, downward-firing studio subwoofers are designed to deliver fast and accurate transient response, extending low frequencies down to 30 Hz without a hint of "tubbiness" or overshoot. The Temblor T8 complements full-range monitors without overshadowing them, naturally extending the reach of your full-range system's low end so that you can produce your best mix from top to bottom.

Driven by a 200W (peak) power amplifier, the Temblor T8's 8-inch, glass-composite low-frequency driver delivers tight, responsive sub-bass, thanks to its lightweight and rigid cone. This design provides lower distortion than other materials for sub-bass reproduction that's as coherent and clear as your full-range monitors.

Integrating a Temblor T8 into your monitoring setup is easy using a continuously variable lowpass filter (50 Hz to 130 Hz) that allows you to create a seamless crossover transition between the full-range studio monitors and subwoofer for the most accurate listening environment possible.

Temblor T8 subwoofers provide the connections and controls necessary to act as the central hub for a basic monitoring setup. A switchable highpass filter on the full-range outputs helps avoid frequency cancellation and reinforcement in the subwoofer's upper range, while a polarity-invert function ensures your system is in phase. A momentary footswitch (included) makes it easy to compare your mix with or without sub-bass frequencies.

Placing studio monitor speakers directly on a hard surface such as a desk or unpadded stand can result in vibration and surface coupling that affects the sound of your speakers. PreSonus® ISPD-4 isolation pads eliminate this problem by acoustically isolating the speakers from the surface. The pads come in pairs that can be split into four halves, so you can use the entire pad, use half a pad for a small speaker, or separate the two halves and use both for extra width, such as with a horizontally placed speaker.

The VXT6 from KRK is a high-quality two-way active monitor speaker that's great for use in professional or project studios. The ported, low-resonance cabinet houses a rigid 6" woofer designed for extended low frequency response, as well as a 1" silk dome tweeter. Both drivers have vented formers to reduce power compression effects and maintain great sound. The sleek, curved design of the monitor creates terrific imaging qualities and offers a wide sweet spot.

The rear of the cabinet sports an XLR/TRS combo input jack. Controls include high and low frequency adjustment switches, a level control, an auto mute switch, and clip indicator/limiter switch. A ground-lift switch helps to eliminate hum cause by ground loops, and a voltage selector switch makes it easy to use the monitor internationally.

The S8.4 powered studio subwoofer builds upon KRK’s legacy for sonic accuracy in a compact form factor. The custom-voiced, glass-aramid woofer delivers tight, defined bass, while the Class-D power amplifier dramatically increases transient response, control and punch.
