About the Product

When you’re serious about creating music, you need studio monitors that will speak nothing but the truth. Eris®-series monitors deliver a smooth and accurate frequency response, powerful Class AB amplification with loads of headroom, and a suite of acoustic tuning controls to mitigate room anomalies.

The T7V is a two-way studio monitor designed for vertical use in a nearfield application. The T7V features a 7” woofer that provides bass extension down to 39 Hz, while the U-ART tweeter’s diaphragm provides pristine and extended high-frequency response up to 25 kHz – virtually unheard of in monitors in this price range.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

PreSonus Eris E8 8-inch, 2-way, High-Definition Active Studio Monitor

The speakers sound is strong, well balanced and puchy.
Great speakers... really compact, yet with a beautiful, balanced sound.
My first monitor speakers, and very, very pleased. Hooked up to my PC, and I can no listen to all my tunes without any distortion.
I dont have to move the main volume dial anymore then 30-40% they are very loud and clear with a good amount of bass Even with the room layout dial set to -4
After using the Eris 8s for a couple of months now, I have no regrets. Great sound, great frequency response, lots of volume to spare.

Adam Audio T7V 7" Nearfield Monitor Speaker

I love the tweeters! They are so much better that domes or horns.
T7V are a new, low-cost product line that brings their amazing ribbon tweeter tech to the masses.
The tweeters aren't fatiguing, and if you have a quiet room you can monitor at low volume and still clearly hear everything.
Now that I’ve adapted my hearing to the ribbon tweeters, I wouldn’t want to go back to listening to dome tweeters.
I've been involved with and set in on a lot of mixing sessions over the years so I've heard a lot of monitors, and these monitors sound great.

PreSonus Eris E8 8-inch, 2-way, High-Definition Active Studio Monitor

Well designed in general, seem well made and pretty solid overall.
The speaker has a mat black finish and it is capable of producing rich and powerful bass ,so i am very pleased with the build quality
I was abit shocked how big these are But sound wise i couldn't be happier.
These speakers are absolutely brilliant. Superb build quality and sound.
Pretty impressive units for size and cost. Highly recommended.

Adam Audio T7V 7" Nearfield Monitor Speaker

I have been using these for about a month now and I'm pretty happy with them. The build quality is decent as well.
Build quality is excellent as far as I can tell.
Sound very clear. Material quality is very good
Perfect for bedroom studios/small scaled applications. Stands with the best in the prise category, along with the HS Yamaha series.
You can find similar-sized speakers for substantially less, but these are on a different level. I consider these to be a great value.

What customers say about "Audio"

PreSonus Eris E8 8-inch, 2-way, High-Definition Active Studio Monitor

Tonal balance is *really* nice for the size and price point; they're nearly as sweet as my much more expensive hifi speakers and amp downstairs.
Bass is pretty well controlled and tight, treble sparkly and detailed, and the mids clear and defined.
These speakers are amazing, how rich sound they have!
Can't believe the quality for the price. I wanted to have clarity and a flat, truthful sound. These give exactly that.
The sounds good in any frequency and the price is sensational.

Adam Audio T7V 7" Nearfield Monitor Speaker

Exceptional value on the monitors, sound ridiculous good.
The sound is very clear and punchy. Low end is tight and sub heavy, highs are crisp and smooth.
I bought a pair of these monitors as replacements for my KRK Rokit 8 Gen 1s. The difference in sound quality really is very impressive.
The mid-range detail is superb. Placement of sounds on the stereo sound stage is rock solid, with a clear phantom center.
The T7Vs sound accurate, controlled and extremely detailed, allowing you to hear absolutely everything in your mix.

What customers say about "Features"

PreSonus Eris E8 8-inch, 2-way, High-Definition Active Studio Monitor

The adjustments on the back make it easy to tweak for your particular circumstances
Most impressed is the bass hole on the front side instead of back, so that means no early reflections if you set them close to the wall.
Adjustments for sound delivery; to tune to your taste.
I like the various adjustability features, a lot. They are very clear, and reasonably transparent.
Very impressed with this speakers sound and diversity in settings and inputs for various needs.

Adam Audio T7V 7" Nearfield Monitor Speaker

The signature Adam tweeter gives you the distinctive 'silky' highs, and the woofer delivers tight and accurate bass.
When you are having different output, T7V has both balanced and unbalanced inputs.
Also controls for adjusting the overall level and the high and low frequency response are so useful when using small room.
I guess the cabs are built from very dense materials but I hear nothing from the cabinets themselves. Very tight sound.
In addition, don't forget to grab some TRS to XLR cables, because the only balance input these speakers have are XLRs.
