Hey thanks for going through the entire set up process, that's what I was looking for and other videos seemed to skip over that.

[@landonbaileytech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@EllieRose1997]

I just got the 3.5's for my small home studio and a M audio solo interface, can't wait to try them!

[@landonbaileytech]

Have fun!

[@ElricX]

Just hooked these up and love them! Much better than the JBL's I was using.

[@landonbaileytech]

nice! I really like mine

[@lukastemberger]

I originally ordered the Jamo 801 PMs. I didn't like the sound and ordered the Eris 4.5 as well. I A/B compared them side by side and omg! Presonus is so much better in every way. Wider range, clearer... Jamo sounded like the sound is coming out of a weak cardboard box. I returned the Jamos of course.

[@MajorUpgrade]

I have the 3.5's. They are good but lack bass response. Pretty flat though, which is really what you want out of monitors. I run through a Scarlett solo v3 to PC.

[@landonbaileytech]

nice!

[@Keel06]

Does that help with the bass response?

[@MajorUpgrade]

@@Keel06 They are ok. Ultimately, bass comes from bigger speakers... Maybe one day... ;D

[@Keel06]

@@MajorUpgrade lol thanks

[@sphesihlekhumalo8087]

THANKS A MIL, PLANNING ON BUYING THEM SOON.

[@landonbaileytech]

no problem! I like them a lot.

[@joaoangra93]

Hi, thanks for the great video. I’ve seen a few comments here about this white noise coming from the tweeters… you have replied saying you don’t have it but since you’re using an audio interface with balanced connection, I’m wondering if you could try these speakers with an unbalanced connection with the RCA cables and see if you get this white noise hiss… thank you!

[@landonbaileytech]

I gave the speakers to my son!

[@Arfonfree]

I have a Presonus Studio 24c AI. Works perfectly.

[@landonbaileytech]

nice!

[@lasu7712]

It sounds that we do not need further Sub box? I thought it would need a Eris Sub 8BT like HS5 HS7 would need, but according to this video, it seems that an extra sub will be too much for the bass, isn't it? And what about hiss/noise? I heard that Presonic monitors have too loud hiss, do they? Thanks.

[@landonbaileytech]

I was fine without a sub. I didnt notice a hiss

[@OsKr-ud4qq]

Verdadero

[@tuckerlane7995]

Do you think my phone speakers will give me a good idea of how these sound?

[@landonbaileytech]

maybe

[@SteveResor]

I have a PreSonus StudioLive AR12. I really Like it ! You can plug a few Mics up for Amps and blend them. And You can do Vocal Mics Too. Would You or Landon recommend the 6in speaker for a little bigger room ?

[@landonbaileytech]

ya this model is good for my room 8x12' 6" would be too much for my setup

[@amaethinfernal6014]

Just received these for Xmas. Woohoo. Q: Stereo Speaker cables (L & R) connection from E4.5 to audio interface? Or ok to use normal guitar cables? Happy Xmas & new year to you. 🤘

[@JakeBz333]

I did too, and i have the same question lol hopefully someone knows, lmk if u find out

[@landonbaileytech]

I have cables listed in the description. I don't recall off hand what they were

[@lukastemberger]

RCA cables are your basic wire connection. I'd say it's useful if you're not using an audio interface because it allows you to connect them directly to the sound card of your computer. Balanced TRS is a superior connection though. If you have TRS out on your audio interface, use balanced TRS cables and you will avoid any electronic interference that might come from your computer, power adapters, other cables... If you use mono TRS cables it's still a better connection as TRS cables are generally better shielded than RCA cables. But if you use stereo TRS cables per each speaker, it uses the second channel in stereo to cancel out any electronic interference. That's what makes them balanced.

[@PHEEELife]

Just got my brand new Eris E4.5 BT. The sound is great, but it hisses even without the source connected. The noise can be heard even from 1-2 meters away. On the forums they say that the problem is in the internal amplifier. I'm thinking of returning them back, very disappointed. Does yours have this problem?

[@landonbaileytech]

Sorry to hear that. No hiss at all from mine. Have you tried using it in a different area. Maybe it's picking up noise from something external

[@dukirps]

Has anyone tried these as TV speakers? Can't decide between a budget powered speaker or a sound bar at that price range.

[@landonbaileytech]

I guess not!

[@gabosie7e777]

Im not an audiphile, Im interested in these speakers, what is the red machine for? Do I need it for the speakers?

[@landonbaileytech]

it's an audio interface to my Mac called a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. You don't need it, but it's one way of connecting to a computer

[@gabosie7e777]

@@landonbaileytech Thank you for your answer man, I am trying to upgrade my listening experience, and I keep watching this videos about having to buy an external DAC for improving sound quality for computer music. I think they are refering to your red device.

[@ronpopeil7]

Haven’t tried presonus. Have been eying these or kali lp-6 lately. Right now I am using the blackstar fly 3 and it little extension cab as my speakers. They sound pretty good for a tiny footprint, but wondering if the step up in sound would be worth it both price and size - I have a small desk.

[@landonbaileytech]

ah cool, I never tried the Fly3 as a PC setup but I knew it was an option

[@Ledzinskii]

Bass is Good?

[@landonbaileytech]

It's pretty good. I'm in a small room though

[@Trip.E]

does the left and right matter? If so, the left is my left (me facing my computer)?

[@landonbaileytech]

I don't understand your question :)

[@Trip.E]

@@landonbaileytech i got it to work, but I was referring to the left monitor and right monitor of where they should be placed

[@mrlozano]

@@landonbaileytech he means if the L and R monitors match to YOUR right and left as you are sitting at your desk, or if the R & L match to the computer screens perspective of R & L staring back at you, in which case, they'd be opposite of your R & L.

[@Bleitzofficial]

So if I used quarter inch cables into my mixer board which is connected to my pc through usb will these work??

[@landonbaileytech]

I believe so. My Scarlett 2i2 is essentially a dumbed down mixer.

[@Disguisefool]

Can we use this monitor for music production without audio interface !

[@landonbaileytech]

depends what kind of connection you have. it also has unbalanced RCA connection

[@David01.d]

Yamaha hs7 are a good choice

[@landonbaileytech]

I like anything from Yamaha. solid brand overall. my home theatre speakers are Yamaha

[@markremillosa5081]

Hi mate,,was thinking of buying this speaker but for gaming and listening to music,,it would sound better even without using interface and plug it directly on my pc using the rca cable?thanks

[@landonbaileytech]

I dont think it would make a difference if you can connect them that way

[@green-garden-123]

Is the headphone output on the front of Presonus also an headphone amp? That is, can it run high impedance headphone? Thanks

[@landonbaileytech]

I don't believe it's an amp. I can't confirm because I don't have headphones like that

[@lukastemberger]

Yes, it's a headphone amp, not just line out.

[@abhisood8811]

Presonous 4.5 bass is good?

[@landonbaileytech]

pretty decent for my needs

[@cecilianhomestudios]

​@@landonbaileytech having a small homestudio upgradation with similiar room specs of you I think. Just wanted to clarify whether Presonus Eris 4.5 or Yamaha HS3 good for mixing and music production. Hope you reply brother...😊

[@alexius984]

How u connect the pre amp tuo Mac min?With cable or the pre amp is bt?

[@landonbaileytech]

I'm using a USB interface (Scarlett 2i2)

[@ApproxExtra]

There's a little white noise coming from both the tweeters even though there's no TRS cables connected and the volume knob is turned to zero... Is this thing common ?

[@landonbaileytech]

that doesn't happen in my setup

[@joaoangra93]

@ApproxExtra I’m wondering what happened to your white noise coming from your Presonus E4.5… did you ever sorted it? I have the same problem straight out of the box… was wondering if it happens only when unbalanced connection is being used… ie not TRS balanced… any thoughts would be appreciated…

[@a2roland]

Thank You.

[@julianventura4747]

does anybody know where I can get those really thin red a black wires? I lost them. I'd rly rly appreciate it

[@landonbaileytech]

they are pretty standard speaker wire. you can get that a lot of places

[@calyptratus187]

would you say this is also good for guitar practice/recording and using it with amp sims like Amplitube or Bias FX?

Ya I've had my guitar plugged direct in to my Focusrite 2i2 and it sounds good

the red/black wire is the speaker cable that connects one amp to the other for stereo sound. it's required
