Description

Experience the pinnacle of studio monitoring with the PreSonus R80 Active AMT Studio Monitors. These monitors are designed for the discerning audio professional who demands pristine sound quality and precise audio reproduction. At the heart of the R80 is the custom 6.8" Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, which delivers exceptional transient response and crystal-clear highs without the distortion often found in traditional dome tweeters. This unique tweeter, combined with an 8" woven Kevlar low-frequency driver, ensures a balanced and dynamic sound across all frequencies, making it a standout choice for mixing and mastering.

The R80’s bi-amped design features a robust 150-watt Class D amplifier that provides ample power for both the woofer and the tweeter, ensuring consistent performance even at high volumes. With its wide horizontal dispersion and narrow vertical dispersion, the R80s create a broad sweet spot while minimizing reflections from ceilings and work surfaces, resulting in superior stereo imaging. Whether you're setting up in a spacious studio or a compact home setup, the R80's acoustic space settings allow you to tailor the sound to your environment, compensating for room placement and ensuring balanced audio in any setting.

For musicians and producers alike, the PreSonus R80 Active AMT Studio Monitors offer an unparalleled listening experience, combining innovative technology with thoughtful design to elevate your audio projects.
