Building on the legacy of our renowned nEar studio monitors and upgrading our aktiv 08, the nEar i8 near field reference monitor sets a new standard for entry-level users seeking professional-level 8" near field monitoring speakers.

This DSP-based Class-D studio monitor features an ultra-flat low frequency response, a newly designed silk dome tweeter (55W powered), and a special 8" woofer (65W powered) made from selected sustainable sturdy paper fibers. These components deliver an unparalleled punch in the low-mid frequency range, offering a response unheard of in this class.

The unique Character selection switch provides a smooth Mix & Listen setting or a precise Reference sound.

The nEar i series is yet another milestone in the ESI studio monitor legacy. With nEar i5 and nEar i7 also smaller options of the series are available.
