Its self-powered two-way design eliminates the need for a separate amplifier, making it suitable for desktop studios, dedicated control rooms, and editing suites. It is sold as a single monitor, so a stereo setup requires two units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe R80 V2 is built for users who need to hear mix details clearly while working at nearfield listening distances. Its 8-inch woven-composite low-frequency driver supports substantial low- and mid-frequency output, while the Air Motion Transformer tweeter is designed for quick transient response and wide horizontal coverage. The result is a focused monitoring presentation intended to help reveal balance, placement, and tonal decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA custom 6.8-square-inch AMT tweeter is the centerpiece of the R80 V2 design. Its folded diaphragm provides a large radiating area while maintaining narrow vertical dispersion, which can help reduce reflections from desks, floors, and ceilings. This design is intended to create a broad listening area across the horizontal plane while keeping the monitor oriented vertically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in acoustic controls make the R80 V2 adaptable to different rooms and placements. High-frequency and mid-frequency adjustments allow tonal tailoring, while the low-cut and Acoustic Space controls help manage low-end buildup near walls or corners. These controls are useful when the monitor must work in rooms that are not fully acoustically treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith balanced XLR and 1\/4-inch TRS inputs plus an unbalanced RCA input, the R80 V2 can connect to common audio interfaces, mixers, monitor controllers, and consumer playback sources. Its 140-watt Class A\/B biamplified architecture powers the low- and high-frequency drivers separately. It can serve as a full-range stereo monitoring pair or be used with a subwoofer system using its selectable low-cut settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Inch Woven Composite Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports transparent midrange and extended low-frequency monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir Motion Transformer Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers fast transient response and wide horizontal imaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e140W Class A\/B Biamplification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides dedicated power to both driver sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Tuning Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps compensate for room boundaries and placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Analog Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects easily to balanced and unbalanced audio sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical Monitor Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains the intended horizontal and vertical dispersion pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe R80 V2 uses a vinyl-laminated MDF cabinet with an 8-inch woven-composite LF driver and a custom AMT high-frequency driver. Its front-panel status LED illuminates blue when the monitor is powered on. The cabinet measures 9.5 inches wide, 15 inches high, and 12 inches deep, with a weight of 19.8 pounds per monitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a stereo setup, use one R80 V2 for each channel and place both monitors vertically with the tweeters at ear height. PreSonus recommends positioning them about 8 to 12 inches from walls where possible, toeing them toward the listening position, and using balanced XLR or TRS connections when available. Use only one input source per monitor at a time, then adjust the level, EQ, low-cut, and Acoustic Space controls for the room and system configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PreSonus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45669200134214,"sku":"R80-V2","price":399.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/81YNSzD8uML.jpg?v=1784481333","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/presonus-r80-v2-8-active-amt-studio-monitor","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
