Presonus R65 V2 Active Monitor
The Presonus R65 V2 is a 6.5-inch two-way active studio monitor built for accurate mixing and critical listening. It uses an Air Motion Transformer tweeter paired with a custom woofer driven by separate Class AB amplifiers. The enclosure is designed to control vertical dispersion and reduce early reflections from nearby surfaces. It suits home and project studios that need detailed high-frequency reproduction.
Ideal for Nearfield Mixing Tasks
Engineers who need a wide horizontal sweet spot and flat response from 45 Hz to 22 kHz will benefit from the AMT design and dedicated 65W high-frequency amplifier. The focused vertical dispersion helps minimise desk and ceiling reflections in untreated rooms. Buyers who require deep sub-bass extension below 45 Hz or higher maximum SPL for large control rooms should consider larger main monitors or a paired subwoofer.
6.8-Square-Inch AMT Tweeter Decides Fit
The 6.8-square-inch Air Motion Transformer tweeter is the specification that determines whether this monitor matches your workflow. Its projection area is 8 to 13 times larger than traditional dome tweeters, delivering extended transient detail and a broad soundstage. If your mixing decisions depend on hearing fine high-frequency nuance and precise stereo imaging, this tweeter design addresses that need directly.

Questions about this item
How do I position the R65 V2 to avoid the desk-reflection problem that the AMT housing is designed to solve?
Place the monitors at ear height with the tweeters on the horizontal axis; the cabinet confines vertical dispersion so ceiling and floor reflections stay low.
What part of the R65 V2 will need replacement first if the 65 W HF amplifier runs hot during long sessions?
The Class AB high-frequency amplifier or the AMT tweeter diaphragm are the likeliest components to age under sustained thermal load.
At what SPL does the 75 W LF amplifier start to compress on the R65 V2 during extended playback?
The 75 W Class AB low-frequency amplifier will reach its thermal limit before the 65 W HF stage, so bass compression appears first.
