For those familiar with the Eris range, the new iteration of the R-Series from PreSonus will look pretty familiar. There’s a high shelf, mid frequency band and gain knob alongside a high-pass filter and Acoustic Space controls that let you modify the overall frequency response depending on where you have your speakers placed.
Class A/B power amplifiers now allow for up to 140W of audio reproduction (75W LF + 65W HF) for more headroom and a smoother overall frequency response.
The custom-designed Air Motion Transformer (AMT) is here, which is a minutely thin ribbon style high frequency driver. These types of speakers deliver a very solid high frequency response which was popularised by two brands that take their name from the Garden of Eden.
R-65 and R-80 V2 frequency responses are 45-22,000 Hz and 40-22,000 Hz respectively, and offer RCA, TRS and XLR input options.
There’s a lot to like about these tweaks to the PreSonus R-Series, including the fact that the ribbon tweeters are less fatiguing on the high end than standard tweeters, and with the Acoustic Space switch now available, they’re even more enticing.
