Presonus R80 8" AMT Powered Studio Monitor

The PreSonus R Series R80 AMT Monitor is featured with a custom 6.8in2 Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter that responds to subtle waveforms and high-frequencies. This permits you to hear the air and the greater sense of space that is characteristic of audiophile recordings. The R80's transparent and accurate sound makes it great to be used in both commercial and home recording studios as well as broadcast and post-production environments.

In order to dampen resonance peaks at higher frequencies, conventional dome tweeters are injected with liquid to raise their mass, sacrificing transient response time. By contrast, the AMT tweeter in the R80 uses a thin, folded Kapton membrane (< 0.01 mm) with an inlayed aluminum circuit functioning as the voice coil, permitting the tweeter to move at the same instant of time as the electric current. The leading reactive response time provides marked clarity and better transient reproduction.

Components and Construction

2-way active AMT design provides articulate high-frequency response and wide stereo imaging
Custom-designed, 6.8-inch, AMT ribbon tweeter responds to the subtle waveforms and the high-frequencies
8" Kevlar LF driver provides transparent mid- and low-frequency reproduction
Balanced XLR, 1/4" TRS, and an unbalanced RCA inputs provide flexibility

User Controls

Acoustic Space settings (Linear, -1.5 dB, -3 dB, -6 dB) compensate for room placement
Volume range A-type taper
HF control settings (Linear,+1, -3, -6 dB)
Low-cut settings (Linear, 60 Hz, 80 Hz, 100 Hz)

Power and Safety

Biamped 150W RMS (LF = 100W, HF = 50W), Class D power amplifier with switching power supply
RF interference, output-current limiting, over temperature, turn-on/off transient, and subsonic filter protection
Energy Conservation Mode (with enable/disable) lowers standby power to < 0.5W
External mains fuse
Internal power supply with IEC connector
