PreSonus Eris E5
2-Way Active Studio Monitors: Accuracy Defined.
Step up to serious, 2-way professional studio monitors with Eris
Make your music stand out with accurate mixes
What sets Eris High Definition Active Studio Monitors apart from comparably-priced competitors is Eris’ ability to create accurate mixes—mixes that sound good on other playback systems, on headphones, on TV commercial soundtracks, and even on your kid brother’s cheap computer speakers.
The answer for that poor 'home studio' sound
Ask anyone who listens to music submissions, they’ll tell you that a surprising number of mixes from home studios are out of balance. Muffled or boomy bass. Indistinct or overly loud vocals. Harsh or muffled treble; etc. Why? Because the monitors used to mix these songs weren’t telling the truth, which is only achieved when you have the tools to make your monitors work with your studio acoustics.
Hear what you've been missing and create better mixes
Eris gives you the tools you need (and an easy to understand manual) so that you can acoustically tune your monitors to your room and your musical genre, hear what you've been missing, and produce better mixes.
- 5.25-in woven composite low freq transducer and 1-inch ultra-low-mass silk dome high freq transducer
- 80-watt class A/B bi-amplification
- Professional adjustments fit the monitors to your studio and application
- Automatic protection: RF interference, output limiting, over-temperature, transient and infrasonics
- Optimized, resonance-suppressing internal bracing
- 102dB maximum continuous SPL
High quality components and flexible controls bring high definition sound to your studio

Solid construction and quality components for superior soundAs you expect from PreSonus, Eris active studio monitors deliver the goods through a combination of well-designed woven composite low frequency transducers, low-mass silk-dome tweeters, responsive Class AB amplification, and professional acoustic-adjustment controls. But this is just the start; the real magic happens when the sound hits your ears. Plus, Eris are lightweight, compact and look as professional as they sound so you can feel comfortable adding them to your studio. |
The controls you need for accurate playback in any studio environmentAcoustic Space tailors the frequency response of Eris to accommodate for for the three most studio common monitor placements. Midrange and High Frequency controls are designed to address situations when mixing in spaces with high reflective surfaces or acoustic treatment, and Low Cutoff helps coordinate the bass output of your Eris monitor system when used with Subwoofers like the Temblor T10. Lastly, Input Gain lets you optimize the signal-to-noise ratio of the audio coming into Eris through its three flexible input options (RCA, TRS, XLR). |
Powerful enough for any studio, yet affordable enough for any budgetPreSonus products, including Eris active studio monitors, are used every day on radio, TV, streaming music, online videos, and movie and gaming soundtracks. PreSonus makes the technology that audio engineering professionals use to record, broadcast and deliver high fidelity audio yet Eris-series speakers remain ultra-affordable, making them a terrific value. And with three models, you can easily find the Eris monitor that best suits your studio needs. |

I was worried about these not having enough bass, but I've found I don't even have the room acoustics to hear all the low frequencies these E5s are putting out, so they are fine for my current needs. The acoustic space correction switch is really useful as well.
The sound quality, clarity are excellent. They go WAY louder than the pain threshold of my ears. The only downside is an audible white noise that I think is just a feature of the amps they use. This is easily rendered inaudible by increasing the input volume and turning down the volume on the back of each speaker, or just as easily ignored, as it's barely audible anyways.
Overall, these are excellent; perhaps the best monitors at this price point on the market. Everyone who listens to music on my E5s is impressed, and so am I. These are perfect for producing on and great to just listen on as well.
Nice one, Presonus!
Update: Still great one year later! I've found in my small, poorly treated space the E5s sound best with the acoustic space setting at -4db and also -2 or -3db down on the High EQ. I use a sub Lowpassed at 88hz, but I do NOT use the Low Cutoff on the E5s- they already have an 80hz rolloff in the frequency response and sound too thin with the Low Cut, IMO. This setup sounds fantastic in my room; my references are full and detailed.

This setup sounds fantastic in my room; my references are full and detailed.
The biggest con I have with this is that I got distortion at volume levels that I felt I shouldn't be getting it at considering the 102 DB SPL and 80 watts of power. With that said, it's a solid speaker that you can feel good about owning.
I've attached a video of me comparing it against the JBL SLR305, which is in a similar price category and gets similarly great reviews.
The differences are highlighted in the video, including:
Eris Pros relative to JBL LSR305:
Much smaller for the same speaker size and power output (and weight)
Front bass port, making them better for near-the-wall placement many people will prefer
Produced a richer, bassier sound than the JBLs, despite their higher HZ rating and smaller size... impressive
Aesthetically more pleasing... modern, expensive looking, clean deisgn, esp the kevlar cone and lit logo
Requires quite a bit less input volume to attain the same output volume (contrary to the SPL rating... so I find JBL's numbers suspicious)
RCA Input for additional input options w/o modification - helpful for people outputting from their computer or other component without 1/4" or XLR outputs
More fine-tuning adjustments for mid and high as well as room on the back of the speaker.
Eris Cons compared to JBL:
Breaks up more at the same volume (this was on bassy dubstep with lows and highs... they started to get muddy and a bit broken up)
Has a less efficient A/B class amplifier, gets warmer
Not as good at capturing highs, not as flat (good for home use though, but I question the accuracy in mixing)
A bit more expensive
Narrower "sweet spot" making less ideal for "whole room" uses

Son una alternativa para escuchar la diferencia entre audífonos y monitores para tener una idea de lo que va a escuchar la gente.
Pd. Si escuchas música en ellos para el día a día, se escucha bien ya que también lo puedes ecualizar en la parte trasera.

Per quanto riguarda i bassi la presonus flat si avvicina alla m-audio a -4db (e forse la m-audio ancora ne ha di più). I medi e alti rimangono molto indietro sulla m-audio mentre sulla eris sono belli in evidenza, ti sembra che il cantante sia dentro la cassa. Per di più la eris ha dei controlli per limare bassi-medi-alti a piacere (entro certi limiti), quindi ottimo. Cosa poi molto più importante, la m-audio presenta un ronzio di rete costante appena accesa (anche senza cavo di segnale collegato), cosa che facevano anche le mie vecchie m-audio, mentre la eris non lo fa! Entrambe fanno un pò di fruscio ma solo se ci si avvicina col l'orecchio al cono. In conclusione...ho restituito le m-audio e mi sono tenuto questa Eris E5 e ho comprato l'altra per fare la coppia!!
PRO:
suono bilanciato e presente
ampia possibilità di regolazione onboard
compatte
bass port anteriore
nessun ronzio
prezzo corretto
CONTRO:
design pulito ma un pò anonimo
da accese si illumina il logo Presonus in blu, non forte ma a qualcuno potrebbe dare fastidio.
Pues estos Presonus Eris E5 llegan y superan la calidad que esperaba, respuesta totalmente plana, el soundstage increíble, al igual que la claridad y nitidez, además potencia de sobra para un cuarto normal, los tengo a 1/3 de gain y un 30% de volumen en el ordenador. Los utilizo ahora mismo con un tarjeta USB Asus Xonar U7, y con subwoofer para las frecuencias mas bajas de 50hz.
Como contra podría decir que al principio al conectarlos tenían mucho ruido electrónico, lo solucione conectándolo a otra toma distinta del ordenador y mejorando cable usb de la tarjeta de sonido (con filtros), se ve que son muy sensibles a lo que se llama ground loop, por lo demás una vez solucionado ese problema son perfectos.

really love these speakers and at a rather affordable price. World obviously need the speaker stand cause i can feel the spatial sound is not there.
It does lack a bit on the bass, but i guess it's meant to be that way
