PreSonus R65 Active Studio Monitor

Hear the crisp treble you've been missing with the R65 monitor's AMT ribbon tweeter. Bi-amped power ensures clear low end response and a punchy midrange.

The PreSonus R65's custom 6.8-inch Air Motion Transformer (AMT) ribbon tweeter responds to the subtlest waveforms and the highest frequencies, resulting in a greater sense of "air" and "space" that is characteristic of audiophile recordings. Custom coated, woven, 6.5-inch Kevlar LF drivers produce a more dynamic output than conventional designs, thanks to the rigid cone's ability to maintain a more constant dispersion pattern across its frequency response range. The result is transparent sound with narrow vertical dispersion, which reduces undesirable reflections, and broad horizontal dispersion for a wide sweet spot. Driven by a 150W Class D amplifier, the biamped R65 delivers an open, clear, and less fatiguing listening experience. Acoustic Space controls help compensate for room anomalies, and an onboard high-pass filter to easily to add a subwoofer, making the R65 an ideal choice for any professional listening environment.

"Sound AMAZING with my Kawai MP11"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Bought these because i wanted something a bit better than my JBLLSR305 BUT did not want to spend the money of Focals or Adams. 3 months deep now and R65 surpassed all my expectations . These sound absolutely fantastic out of the box paired up with my MP11. I am hearing such a clean powerful detailed piano sound that I did not hear . The AMT tweeter which is pretty much the same on the Admas delivers such clarity. 150w is pushing these effortlessly. Also sound great with music off my iPad. big sweetspot for nice stereo sound. You can actually hear each instrument in such detail. As expected form studio monitors i know, but R65 takes it to next level for short money in my opinion.

Musical Background:

pianist

Musical Style:

mostly jazz and classical. but any genre as long as I get paid!
