    Sound you can trust.

    Eris studio monitors are used worldwide by audio engineers who need to hear every detail of their recordings. Ideal for gaming and home video production, the Eris E3.5 employs the same technology as the larger models to deliver studio-quality sound, with a smooth and accurate frequency response.

    Woofers that deliver a cleaner overall sound.

    Every Eris-series studio monitor utilizes a woven composite, low-frequency driver. The weave and nature of the Eris E3.5’s 3.5-inch woofer result in a more constant dispersion pattern throughout the frequency range, resulting in less time-smeared audio and cleaner overall sound.

    Smooth high end and wide sweet spot.

    The Eris E3.5 is equipped with a one-inch silk-dome tweeter that produces a smooth and refined sound, accurately reproducing transients and high frequencies. The tweeter is designed to radiate sound with a fairly wide dispersion pattern, creating a large optimal listening area or “sweet spot” so you can move around and still hear everything accurately.

    Connect to virtually any line-level source.

    With three different types of audio inputs, it’s easy to feed audio to your Eris monitors from a mixer, an interface, a media player, or almost any other line-level source. The Eris E3.5 is equipped with rear-panel, ¼-inch TRS and RCA inputs, as well as front-panel ⅛-inch stereo, unbalanced line inputs for use with mobile audio devices. With this selection, you’ll have no problem hooking your Eris speakers up with virtually any line-level source, including your smartphone or tablet. The loud, clear, front-panel headphone amplifier lets you work and play in stealth mode, without disturbing your housemates.

    Accuracy defined.

    Like all PreSonus monitor speakers, the Eris E3.5 offers consistent, accurate listening, with the smooth and even frequency response that has made Eris monitors popular around the world. Their compact and powerful design makes them an ideal solution for any small space.

    Want extra-deep low end? Pair compact Eris E3.5s with PreSonus’ powerful Eris Sub8 active subwoofer for a truly full-range sound system that fits almost anywhere.

    Easy-to-use controls.

    A speaker’s response is affected by where you place it and the acoustics of your space. That’s why Eris E3.5 active media reference monitors offer easy-to-adjust high- and low-frequency controls. A front-panel volume knob sets both the speaker level and the integrated headphone amplifier level.

    PreSonus Eris 3.5 vs Edifier MR4
    4 Stars
    PreSonus Eris 3.5 vs Edifier MR4
    INTRODUCTION---------------------------A little run down. My short quest for new speakers came about when the Mackie CR3’s I had for 7 years decided to stop working. In that time, I was quite happy with them. I don’t produce music, but do video editing on occasion. My primary use case is casual listening to music/movies/games. In that regard, I don’t need to have the flattest sound available or desire it – I just like clean, distinctive audio. I’ve been using Sennheiser HD555 headphones with a Sound Blaster Z soundcard for about a decade now. I know there’s better sound options out there these days, but really, these do the job well enough for me and it’s not a necessity to upgrade at the moment. Particularly, I’m impressed with the Sound Blaster software and functionality. I can switch between headphones and speakers on my computer easily and with separate settings for each that changes automatically. Which seems it’d be a convenience barrier switching to a DAC. In any case, I was previously using RCA and have switched to TRS when trying these speakers. The sound is noticeably clearer and unearths sounds more hidden with RCA. I have to crank the windows output a bit higher, but it’s unquestionably better. I also don’t turn the speaker volume up more than half or 3/4th to mitigate noise. With that, I’ll move onto my experience with these two speakers I decided to try to replace my deceased CR3’s.Upon receiving the Edifier MR4 first, I threw on some lossless tracks with some variety, albeit dated.Some artists included:Boris Brejcha, The Chemical Brothers, Erik Jackson, Emancipator, Gorillaz, Hot Chip, Linkin Park, Macklemore, MGMT, Nero, Paul Oakenfold, Papadosio, Pretty Lights, Rinôçérôse, Robert Miles, Sleater-Kinney, System Of A DownEDIFIER MR4---------------------------Off the bat I wasn’t stricken with the high end. I like a crispness in my highs and found there was room to be desired with snares etc. But it’s definitely good enough and doesn’t invoke fatigue. Using an equalizer in addition to increasing the treble knob helps and with dialogue in entertainment; which can be a bit muted. The speakers have decent separation and pleasing bass; while having a sound that’s brought together coherently. I have an external bass, which I won’t be inclined to turn on often, as I can also amplify it through software. Playback is warm and easy to listen to. Pressing the power button once enables or disables Music Mode. From what I could tell, it raises the decibel level slightly, as well as the bass and mids for added presence, at the expense of some clarity. I’ll probably use Monitor Mode most of the time. What I particularly liked about these speakers over the E3.5’s is a perceived wider soundstage; instruments have depth and can lightly reverberate (while still having a flatness to them), which sounded more lively comparatively. Overall, these grew on me and I’ve been pleased. If they could be a bit brighter, there wouldn’t be much else I’d desire out of them.ERIS E3.5---------------------------The ERIS has an adequate amount of treble and clarity in the high range that I liked at first listen. At the tradeoff of it being sharper and more fatiguing with prolonged use or higher volumes. Highs can sometimes be borderline harsh without equalizing; vocals can be sibilant. I turn the bass knob to the max at +6db and lowering or not touching the treble; which only does so much for lows anyhow. Bass is present, but it’s limited and not as full sounding – the frequency it can hit is punchy though. If you EQ more bass you can get a slight rumble, but nothing compared to the MR4. Even with a subwoofer, it’s not as full sounding. The lower mids don’t feel like they quite bridge to the bass. These speakers don’t sound bad and if I had no other options in this price range or hadn’t compared it directly to a pair with more lows, they might be acceptable. They can just be a bit flat and lifeless (which is part of the idea with monitors I guess), despite having crispness on it’s side. Honestly, I didn’t give this set as much time of day, as I kept gravitating towards the MR4’s; which didn’t make me weary with listening either. If the MR4’s weren’t around as an option, I might have compared with the Mackie CR3’s again. But doubtful: as I think their updated design is ugly, still have that green accent, and apparently they’ve declined in build quality.BUILD---------------------------Both speakers are quite similar with an understated clean design and near identical dimensions. The MR4 seems to have a slightly better build and I prefer the the carbon fiber looking cone.The volume knob for the E3.5 is smooth – the MR4 turns with an interval of 12 clicks.The E3.5 indicator light is blue and brighter for my taste: I’d cover it up if I were to keep these speakers. The MR4 has a subdued red and green LED for monitor/music mode. Unfortunately, the green light has already started acting up and stopped working in less than a weeks use.The bass/treble knobs have more length to them on the MR4 and are easier to reach back and turn than the E3.5’s.The MR4 weighs a bit more and comes with slightly nicer speaker wire than the E3.5The E3.5 has a detachable power cord – MR4 does not.The MR4 tweeter actually measures about three quarters of an inch, not the full 1” they claim.With both these speakers I could occasionally detect light distortion/crackling in mids and highs. Not enough to be detrimental for me in keeping the MR4’s. But also due to some solid portrayal, I could hear more of the noise added to the production of certain tracks. For example, listening to some Phantogram, where vinyl grain is frequently added. I believe the E3.5’s also displayed this characteristic, but I returned them already upon noticing more of this.CONCLUSION---------------------------I tried both these speakers in various configurations of equalizing, but made most my judgments based on how they sound out of the box or their capabilities. The Presonus ERIS E3.5 can hit a higher frequency range; while clear, I found the Edifier MR4 sounded more pleasing and I could almost picture vocalists singing into a mic, rather than just sound coming from a speaker. This carries into the overall experience between the two. The MR4 can give me the impression of being at a concert or watching a movie at a theater, to a degree. I feel the E3.5’s are lacking a bit of soul, but maybe that’s because they’re not as warm. When switching between the two to compare, I found myself wanting to just keep listening to the Edifier’s and not switch back to the Presonus. It’s more lush with it’s prevalent bass for the size and highs can be more pronounced after equalizing (though, they still have an audible frequency ceiling, whereas the E3.5 reaches higher). Given, both these speakers haven’t had a chance for a decent break-in period; but that’ll mostly round out the sound that’s already there anyhow.I’ve also seen more feedback in regards to the Presonus not working after only a year. Most products these days can be a crap shoot, but I’d rather keep the MR4’s for the sound alone and physicality of it (with the aforementioned differences) and hope I get lucky they last awhile. But the LED being faulty already isn’t ideal and I’ll probably replace the pair. I might look further into spending a bit more for different speakers. Though, it seems moving up generally doesn’t include an aux input/headphone output, which is occasionally useful. So, once again, it comes down to weighing out price/sound/conveniences. The MR4 really does sound decent for the price ($129) and I will probably just stick to this model in the end, since I’m not ready to invest in a DAC setup either, that’ll make it worthwhile for spendier speakers. Again, I'm not a music producer, so I can't speak to the decency of these speakers for actual production – you can find reviews with graphs. I'd spend the $30 extra for the Edifiers; unless pronounced highs are super important to you (especially for rock & jazz). But if you create music with any substantial caliber of bass and need to portray it, I’d probably look elsewhere than the Presonus 3.5’s. You’d likely be wanting larger speakers anyhow; though, you may be able to get away with it by adding a sub. If you do consider the Edifier MR4’s, just know there’s a small margin of highs that aren’t as present. But they can be a more fun listening experience overall and less fatiguing.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023
    The PreSonus Eris E4.5 speakers are an exceptional addition to any audio setup, offering a delightful blend of impressive sound quality, thoughtful design, and versatile features. These compact 4.5-inch speakers manage to pack a powerful punch, making them a perfect choice for both casual listeners and professional audio enthusiasts.

    One of the standout features of the Eris E4.5 speakers is their balanced and accurate sound reproduction. With their woven composite drivers and silk-dome tweeters, these speakers deliver a remarkably clear and detailed audio experience across a wide range of frequencies. Whether you're listening to music, watching movies, or editing audio, the Eris E4.5 speakers excel at providing a well-defined soundstage and an immersive listening experience.

    The speakers' design also deserves commendation. The front-ported enclosure not only enhances bass response but also allows for flexible placement, making it easier to integrate them into various setups. The compact size is ideal for smaller spaces, yet the speakers manage to maintain their ability to fill a room with rich sound. Additionally, the professional-grade acoustic tuning controls on the back panel enable users to fine-tune the speakers to their preferences and the acoustic characteristics of the room, further enhancing the listening experience.

    Connectivity options are another strong point of the Eris E4.5 speakers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My New Presonus Eris E3.5-3.5" Near Field Studio Monitors
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019
    I decided to pull the trigger on purchasing these Presonus Eris E3.5-3.5" Near Field Studio Monitors based not only on reviews here on Amazon, but other music sites that sell them, because I wanted to span the universe of opinions as to what to expect with the sound quality vs. value.
    First, let me preface my review by stating two facts. #1: I've worked in radio and audio engineering for a long time, and my ears have been subject to a wide variety of pro & semi pro and even amature gear. I can discern decent audio quality when I hear it. #2: If you don't know the difference between a studio monitor and a pair of speakers, stop reading now & move on to another review, because you just won't get it.

    These monitors arrived well packed, in new condition, with all accessories inside the box, very simple. There's the power cord, a set of RCA cables, as well as a 1/8th" aux input cable, along with an instruction manual & some rubberized pads to place on the bottom of the speakers if you desire to use them (as for me, I bought a pair of isolation foam pads as I found a great value on a decent pair, and I know good iso pads will make a difference *Trust me, they DO!* Finally, there's a a interconnecting cable (it's six feet in length) that connects the master speaker (which is the left speaker) to the sattellite speaker (the right)
    Setup was EZ-PZ!
    Plugged in the aux connection cable to the speaker, and plugged the other end into my cell phone I loaded up with some test audio files I recorded on my DAW at 326Kbps.
    First impression when I began listening to the first track (Boston's More Than A Feeling) was the fade up intro sounded nice & clean, and I was hearing very nice sounding instrumentation coming from the source audio. I then proceeded to connect the RCA inputs to my new Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB Direct-Drive Turntable, which features a AT-VM95E stylus. I selected Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's Electric Light Orchestra - Time.
    I selected this test disc due to my respect for Jeff Lynn as a recording engineer & musician. He uses a wide range of analog & synth instruments which i feel will help me judge the quality of these monitors, and they were sounds which I felt would fairly help me assess the frequency response these monitors are capable of delivering.

    After listening to that album, & then tossing another few disc's on the platter to compare what I was hearing (favorites always include Walter Eagen's - Magnet & Steel & Pink Floyd's - The Wall, I was convinced I was enjoying a true "Stereo Monitor" experience. No need for me to color the neutral sound emanating from the speakers by adjusting the tonal controls on the back of the main speaker. I was receiving a very nice signal from both the mp3 files I played through my phone using the aux-input jack (which is something I would be planning to do on occasion) and the sound quality output by the a AT-LP120XUSB Direct-Drive Turntable was very pleasing.

    The room I am using these monitors in is a about 18' x 12', and there is no need for me to crank the volume up much past just below the halfway point to enjoy a pleasurable listening experience while I sit back on my couch and enjoy listening to music from a distance of about six feet away from where the monitors are place.

    For the average audio fan looking for a decent, reliable, entry level pair of studio monitors to faithfully replicate audio (be it from a turntable, tape deck, or mp3 player) without any audio artifacts & coloration, I would definitely recommend these Eris E3.5-3.5" Near Field Studio Monitors by Presonus.

    Assuming these speakers wear well, and don't suddenly klunk out on me, I'm feeling very happy with my purchase & look forward to utilizing them along with my new turntable I treated myself to, because (frankly) my ears were getting fatigued listening to some really crappy mp3 recordings, and they say all things come full circle, while I prided myself converting my old analog production studio into a digital audio environment, even recording critical audio as a stereo .Wav file, and mp3's at the highest possible bitrate a given player would play back, nothing really matched the sonic excellence I can hear when playing back music on vinyl. I wasn't going to go broke however returning to my musical playback roots, so I carefully researched and chose the components I budgeted for, & am glad I chose these speakers to provide that last interface in the sonic delivery to my ears, in my opinion - these were a wise choice to make.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile bass speaker with decent sound
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024
    In the same price range, there are many bass speakers boasting favorable ratings. The unique feature of versatile input connections in this particular model allowed me to integrate it seamlessly with my Edifier S2000MKII speakers, which lack a dedicated bass output. The PreSonus, equipped with an output for connection, significantly enhances the overall audio experience. Its compact size and sleek black color make it a stylish addition that complements various furniture environments.

    As a complementary sound component to the Edifier speakers, especially in larger rooms where bass may be lacking, the PreSonus quickly transforms the entire living space into a rich auditory environment. The sound is not only expansive but also renders vocals with a rich and solid quality. However, it's worth noting that the bass sound quality, while generally acceptable, may not be as clear and solid as some users prefer. Nonetheless, considering its numerous flexible features and overall decent sound quality, this speaker remains a solid choice in its category.

    No sabes que lo necesitas hasta que lo tienes, no lo pienses, si tienes los Eris 3.5 o hasta los 5" este sub es maravilloso, ni opaca ni le falta, suena con un detalle y precision increíble, nada de frecuencias molestas, no se compara con ningún Estéreo, sistema de audio o componente, es super potente y hermoso, calidad en materiales, vista, sonido.
