My full written review of Presonus Eris E5 is available here: digitalstereophony.blogspot.com/2017/02/presonus-eris-e5-review-eris-e5-fights.html Written review of Presonus Eris E4.5 is available here: digitalstereophony.blogspot.com/2016/02/presonus-eris-e45-review.html
Something wrong with 4,5 ones audio, it sounds mono. It's not "better stereo sepparation" for E5, the review does not sound fair. Author, are you sure you have the same setup for both monitors? It sounds as though the recorder was on mono during 4,5 ones. Please double check.
I definitely agree with you George. When you check HS5 vs E4.5 ( ruclips.net/video/L-TWwGOhRqk/видео.html ) and HS5 vs E5 ( ruclips.net/video/SWT-9LfiRGc/видео.html ) you can hear that both E4.5 and E5 sounds very close to HS5. So the difference in this video between E4.5 and E5 is irrelevant.
@@basarogun6795 I'm glad I found this reply and the original comment by George! Great observations, guys. You made me notice the differences (or lack thereof). Thanks very much for sharing.
The e4.5 is not bi amped, which is, not considered active speakers, but actually powered speakers, which give more distortion and imbalance. While being 0.5 inch smaller, its sound quality is significantly less compared to e5
I think I've made up my mind for the 4.5. Going to go buy now. The 5 are fuller, but as it is, I'm overkilling my sound requirements with the 4.5's. Can't wait to get them in.
+Digital Stereophony, I've bought the Eris 4.5's too and I'm having trouble connecting the Tremblor T10 subwoofer to them (just for listening to sounds from my PC, not mixing or anything). To be more precise, I don't have a clue how to connect them. The dealer sold me two 1/4" jack to jack cables supposedly for that purpose, but no matter which way I try them, the sub doesn't work. I'm new to studio monitors, but I'm wondering if I've been sold the wrong cables, or there is a component missing, such as some kind of interface, or maybe the monitors and sub aren't even compatible even though they were bought together. I'd be massively appreciative and a subscription would be a foregone conclusion if you could help me out. You can see the backs of both the monitors and sub on the Presonus website... www.presonus.com/
Something problematic with the recording this time. Can't make a fair comparison. Eris e4.5 sounds totally different here than in other comparisons. Bad boxy sound with scooped treble
Both very clear and bright . The E5 are a little warmer but a little muddier too in some mid - bass frequency . The 4.5m have too much mid range frequency with some song . I think they are good monitors for mixing for a good price .
I think the 4.5 has most of the Mid range Frequencies coming out. The Lower frequencies on E5 are o much better, but I like the sound of the Eris 4.5 here. However, I'd probably go for E5 because its good to have that extra low end in hand, I can always reduce it if I ant to. Great comparisons! 🙌
I've had the 4.5s for about a month now and am very happy with them. When a highly rated 10" subwoofer went on sale I picked that up too. Fantastic combination and much cheaper than trying to find one pair of speakers that covers that same audio spectrum.
the E4.5 are 175€ for the pair, a pair of E5 cost 260€... I believe some better quality is expected, in return for a higher price... I need some speakers good to perform, at home, with a digital piano, so I was thinking to buy a pair of E4.5: on paper they should be more linear so that the instrument sound is not altered. I wish there was some kind of test, for them, specifically with a digital piano
I'm looking at this for the purpose of music production and it seems like the E4.5s are letting through more raw sound which is what I wanna hear so I can point out the flaws easier. I think the E5s would be better just listening to music though. Thank you for this.
@@DSAUDIOreview Perhaps it is difficult to compare them since it takes a higher volume/watt to power up and hear the E 5 right? THat is why the e 4.5 seem like more forward coming: Smaller and need less to get powered up. Yet to me it is easy to hear that there is more bass in the e5 and that if you turn up the volume a bit they are superior at least when it comes to bass.
The 5s are more like traditional monitors and the 4.5s are more prosumer. Most of the time you’re going to adjust volume with your audio interface and not on the monitors.
I like the way the E5's sound much better, but I will buy the E4.5's because they will be better for mixing music. Too easy to make stuff sound good on the E5's, that may mislead you into thinking you're done with the mix.
The E5s' sound is spaced much better than the E4.5s. The E4.5s sound a bit too boxy and focused. Their frequencies seem more crowded. But that seems to depend on type of music. Some songs seem to sound clearer on the E4.5s, since they benefit from that compacted sound. Overall, the E5s are the winners here, which makes sense, from a price point too.
I actually like how the 4.5 don't seem to have as much room interaction and bloom. I kinda prefer their dry sound. odd. I probably would want the larger ones still. perhaps the t10 temblor would be essential.
Samme 😂. I'm just tryna tell myself that maybe less spaciousness will make for better mixes to be played in most modern systems, headphones, and earbuds. Since most of them don't have flat frequency responses, but rather exaggerated high and low ends
@@benjaminarredondo2792 they were nice, to be fair. Sound was actually clear and punchy, but it just lacked the low end for my needs (playing bass guitar thru audio interface + studio monitors). I sold them after less than a month of owning them and got the Yamaha HS8s on a payment plan.
im not audiophile, naming they may be brothers, but the sound signature sounds quite different.... e4.5 really comes alive for me when playing dumb disco ideas. vocal seem to have more presence. e5 seem more balanced overall with a better thump.
Yes, low midrange and upper bass regions seem to be thicker in E4.5, hence more presence. E4.5 is clearly tuned more for fun, where E5 has leaner, cleaner and more analytical sound
How can that be? I bought the eris 4.5 yesterday I feel they sound harsh in the upper range, trebly monitors, I can't imagine how the eris 4.5 can sound better than a 7" woofer monitor really.
@@Ferna471 After 2 months I have to say that I changed my mind, now I really like them, never take conclusions about monitors before at least one week of testing hehehe
@@androidgameplays4every13 In 2013 I compared Eris E5 with Yamaha HS5 and Yamaha HS7. E5 was much better than HS5 and more comparable with HS7. I chose the E5. By the way, the HS7 has a 6.5" woofer, not 7" .
If you want better sounding speakers, then go for the general commercial speakers. These are meant to highlight all flaws which helps in music production.
I don't agree they sound cheap. THey only are smaller and the bass has to be covered by the mid frequency dome and they only go down to 70 HZ which is fine or not depending on taste and purpose. I think they sound very complete. But I sense that if one turns up the volume/power on the E 5 then they have more to offer regarding the bass as they ought to.
I was going to get the Eris 3.5's or 4.5's but i ended up buying a pair of used E5's + Scarlett 2i4 for £150 so I really cannot argue with what i paid for them and how good the sounds are on them :D
@@YRLCarlos I ended up getting them on Facebook market place from a guy in Glasgow. He was upgrading his equipment which was lucky for me. They make awesome computer speakers
I read that the E5 respond to lower frequencies (about 53hz or so), while the E4.5 stay at around 70hz, so they don't go as low. I don't know for sure, I read it somewhere else.
Gracias por la comparación, en mi humilde opinión se escucha más "acartonado" el sonido en los E4.5, no sé si jugando con la EQ se puede igualar a los E5
Debería, como mínimo, haber realizado el test con ambos en la misma posición de monitor izquierdo y derecho. En el Eris e 4.5 está invertido. El derecho en el izquierdo
E5; A relatively cheap set of monitors! they sound warm and dynamic in combination with a good dac etc I would recommend them to anyone who's fond of music.
@@94WasAgreatYear Thanks for the response. I think I'll go for the 3.5s as I dj within a one metre equalateral triangle. Will set it up at ear level, horizontal. hopefully will get a good bass response from 3.5s, as i dj in my room without acoustical treatment.
i have tested both ... and when I check my mastering on other system, I have very better result with the Eris 4.5 !! There are more flat and we hear the same sub bass frequencies than the Eris 5 ... The Eris 5 is too much in V and too much high frequencies.
It's all just psychological. The "flatness" people perceive is just inaccuracy. Do a comparison with the ACTUAL original "Amon Amarth "The Pursuit of Vikings"" video... it doesn't lie.. the big speakers are way closer to the original sound.
@@MaxLohMusic thus we can use hifi monitors for the mastering ? i used many studio monitors in my home studio and with flat monitors you will have a better sound on other system bro ... its not psychologic .... check the frequency response on Google for any studio speaker ;o)
@@ChrisBessy You misunderstood; please re-read; I didn't say flatness is not worthwhile in general. My claim is that the *perceived* "flatness" of a particular set of speakers is an illusion that's actually related to lack of flatness.
@@MaxLohMusic sorry i speak a little bad english so here i use google translation. To work, I need a pair of studio speakers that is fairly neutral. I worked in the past with speakers that had too much treble or otherwise and because of this, the result of mastering is bad. For example a speaker which has too much dB towards 10kHz, we will tend to lower the equalizer a little too much towards 10kHz. When we listen to our track on another device, it will sound too closed because of this. I've had this joke with old speakers enough. With my RP5, my mastering sounded too high for example. Today, I use Eris 4.5 and I have a good result ... do you agree with that ?
Thanks for the vid & including Amon.A. in the end, Im just thinking about buying 4.5 or 5 for my electric guitar, Im playing metal and since in local store the price difference is not huge between them I dont care which one I buy in the end, all I care is the guitar sound and on 4.5 it seems better while voice is better on 5, You think the same? I played video few times and I will again, I need to figure that out :D
C'mon, the difference is striking... 2 amplifiers per channel is probably the reason... Shorter power cables... The cabinet also seems a lot deafer in model 5. A speaker vs. A Multimedia speaker!
I have not tested Samson so it is hard for me to give You my opinion on them. All I can say is that I tested Presonus E5 against many comparable monitors and they always fair well, they are solid monitors and a safe choice IMO
Many thanks for amazing video Plz help , I have this speakers ers 5 ,my problem is after some time work , I found it very very very hot from back of speakers , what's can I do , it is normal or what
Hello Digital Stereophony, looking for a little advice please ! I've seen many of your videos about the Eris 4.5 & 5 and I am torn apart because I don't really know which one I should buy because the price gap between the 2 is only 35€.. It is mostly to listen to music (Buckethead, Metal, Rock, Classical, Piano) as I don't mix or anything and also there is no acoustic treatment in my room which is 4x6m. I currently have the Eris 3.5 and I'm genuinely impressed with what PreSonus has achieved with these 98€ speakers so that's why I'd like to upgrade to bigger speakers. I will be pairing the monitors with my Zoom UAC-2 in case it matters. Thank you and keep up the good work! Happy new year!
Intersting... in this review i hear the bass of E5 very well... on sonic sense sample the e5 dont have base at all... in that channel lsr 305 have more bass (a lot) than E5, but E5 seems to be clearer. I'm in doubt between hs7, jbl 305 (same price) and E5 (1/4 cheaper) to play keyboard, listen music, movies, home studio. Well, the E5 have good clean bass? (im not a crazy bass).
E5 does have a clean but rather lean bass for 5inch woofer. In reality JBL has more depth of bass and grooves better. I have not heard HS7 yet so I will not comment on them, but between E5 and LSR305 my vote goes to JBL. E5 is rather analytical in character, where JBL is more musical and richer overall in my opinion.
Clear sound signature of E5 comes from forward midrange. JBL has midrange that is both better balanced with highs and lows, and more detailed than in E5. I have both LSR305 and E5 at home but E5 stays in boxes while JBL is used every day in my desktop setup.
I have the E5 I really love them but recently one just went out and every time I put a new fuse it pops instantly does anyone know how to fix it if not I have to buy another E5 they're really good I don't know about the E4
Hi Digital Stereophony. I was going to get a pair of E5s but then as I went to buy them saw a pair of 'Behringer NEKKST K6' for £149 instead of £460 (allegedly). Have you ever heard the NEKKST K6? What do you reckon I should go for? Cheers! :)
I have the Eris 4.5. I like them pretty much, im impressed of the highs and mids for such small speakers. Bass is okay and "calibrated" properly but..i feel the need for more bass sometimes. I use them for multimedia and bedroom Dj`ing. I was thinking to go for E5. Does E5 have considerably more bass then E.4.5? Enough to worth the upgrade? (wish the E-4.5 had a button to adjust and add some bass, like it has for mids and highs on the back of the speaker)
I was struggling long time about a new audio solution for my pc desk. Currently have 2x heco victa 301, powered by a very old Harman kardon hk6100 stereo amplifier. But it takes just too much space, so I wanted something smaller without investing more than 150€ Thanks to your reviews I just ordered the presonus 4.5. Pretty looking forward how they will perform compared to my current solution.
Digital Stereophony should be shipped next week. I'll report. Btw do you know the brand Heco? They are a bit bigger sized shelf speakers. Hope the presonus don't be too weak on the low end compared to the victa 301 (30-34.000hz)
Eris E4.5 is substantially smaller than Your Heco, with 4.5 inch woofer versus almost 7 inch in Heco, so there definietly will be a difference in bass response, no doubt. But I find the bass of Eris E4.5 to be very good for their size, You should be fine, especially in nearfield ;)
so they were delivered yesterday. they looked bigger in the pictures/videos, great to see they are so small! i hooked them up to my pc, and ran a hifi-test-cd on them (EASCA test) sounded quite nice, but i noticed some rattling/buzzing noise at lower frequencies. so i fired up my sweepgen and found out the left speaker buzzed from 50 up to 200hz, something inside was making noise. i was pretty frustrated but decided to just open them up, checked for loose cables or anything, put them back together and it was gone.. guess a cable just might have laid in a bad way that caused vibration nois. so now they function perfectly.. and i'm amazed how well they sound! even the bass is more than i imagined. i guess i won't need a subwoofer, for that i have my big hifi system on the other end of the room. for general use on my pc (gaming, producing some music for fun) it's just perfect! size perferct! also i ordered the foam pads.. nice difference. and so much space on my desk now withouth those 2 huge hecos and the big old hk6100. thank you again! oh btw.. since you check out a lot of small desk-speakers, try to review the heco ascada 2.0, since heco is my go to brand in hifi, great sound for good price, but those ascadas were too big and too pricey for me as a simple pc-speaker solution.
Ezerus Thank You for Your input! I'm happy that Eris E4.5 works well for Your needs. They are my "go to" speakers for good balance between price, size and sound. Heco Ascada You say, I will have a look at them if the opportunity comes ;) Cheers!
Digital Stereophony, I have a small Home Studio (2.3x3.3m.) which I treated acoustically for vocal recording, percussion practice , and listening. Which one of the two Eris would you recommend? Regards from Lima - Peru
I just bought the Eris 4.5 monitors and am happy with them. Even the Eris 3.5 monitors are all you need for a small bedroom studio. That’s my two cents worth. 😀
(first, sorry my english is not very well) I'm looking for cheap monitor,usually use it at listen to music, playing video games,and important one is DJing, so i bought Pioneer DM-40,but Bass too HEAVY AND LOUD,it coverd mid and high,also my room is very small(2.5M x 3.1 M), it make the bass louder in my room. So,i decided to buy a new one, seems PreSonus Eris E3.5 or E4.5 is a good choice for me,its cheaper on amazon, do you suggest it? also i afraid E3.5's bass punch too weak,what do you think?

@@MehmoodRaza20 I bought both the 4.5 and the 5, even there the jump in sound quality is obvious. So I guess that would be the same for the 3.5.
@@94WasAgreatYear Thanks for the response. I think I'll go for the 3.5s as I dj within a one metre equalateral triangle. Will set it up at ear level, horizontal. hopefully will get a good bass response from 3.5s, as i dj in my room without acoustical treatment.
Eris 4.5 sounds like flat monitor with nice mids ... Eris 5 sounds like hifi speaker with too much high frequencies ..... (in my dt770 250ohm)
agree.. i prefer the 4.5
Can you do Presonus e44 vs a few monitors?
For techno and electronic sounds 4.5 rocks. Especially for a 4meters small bedroom mids sound crystal without the headache for lo we have subs lol:p
Thank you very much, you really help me make a good purchase, thank you.
Could you please include Vault C5 sound test.
Do you mean, Fluid C5?
i have tested both ... and when I check my mastering on other system, I have very better result with the Eris 4.5 !!
There are more flat and we hear the same sub bass frequencies than the Eris 5 ... The Eris 5 is too much in V and too much high frequencies.
It's all just psychological. The "flatness" people perceive is just inaccuracy. Do a comparison with the ACTUAL original "Amon Amarth "The Pursuit of Vikings"" video... it doesn't lie.. the big speakers are way closer to the original sound.
@@MaxLohMusic thus we can use hifi monitors for the mastering ? i used many studio monitors in my home studio and with flat monitors you will have a better sound on other system bro ... its not psychologic .... check the frequency response on Google for any studio speaker ;o)
@@ChrisBessy You misunderstood; please re-read; I didn't say flatness is not worthwhile in general. My claim is that the *perceived* "flatness" of a particular set of speakers is an illusion that's actually related to lack of flatness.
@@MaxLohMusic sorry i speak a little bad english so here i use google translation. To work, I need a pair of studio speakers that is fairly neutral. I worked in the past with speakers that had too much treble or otherwise and because of this, the result of mastering is bad. For example a speaker which has too much dB towards 10kHz, we will tend to lower the equalizer a little too much towards 10kHz. When we listen to our track on another device, it will sound too closed because of this. I've had this joke with old speakers enough. With my RP5, my mastering sounded too high for example. Today, I use Eris 4.5 and I have a good result ... do you agree with that ?
Have you ever got tha chance to checkout the new e5bt? Very tempted to buy one
can legit here the hissing thats why I got rid of them they sound so great which is to bad
The E4.5 sounds louder, but with less soundstage, more dry.
The E5 sounds better.
The 4.5 has a lot of boost in the middle area which makes it sound more annoying, however the e5 for my ears is more superior
Testing them with clutch. Pleasant surprise :)
OMG now i want E5 !
What makes people choose 4.5 over 3.5 speakers?
Thanks for the vid & including Amon.A. in the end, Im just thinking about buying 4.5 or 5 for my electric guitar, Im playing metal and since in local store the price difference is not huge between them I dont care which one I buy in the end, all I care is the guitar sound and on 4.5 it seems better while voice is better on 5, You think the same? I played video few times and I will again, I need to figure that out :D
Good work man! thanks a tonne!
how big are these speakers...?
Because i really want to order thembut i am not sure about the size.
Could pls tell me the full information about the sound"deep", i can't find it on QQmusic
Which one is hiss noise bigger among two?
i just bought 4.5 but it sounds bit low to my ears. My room 12 m2. Should i go for bigger one or it doesnt metter?
4.5 version is a multimedia speaker, E5 is a real monitor
High Sierra fest - is that direct from the soundboard? Can you supply more datA on the actual recording - was there any post processing?
C'mon, the difference is striking... 2 amplifiers per channel is probably the reason... Shorter power cables... The cabinet also seems a lot deafer in model 5. A speaker vs. A Multimedia speaker!
Great comparison! If you had to choose between Presonus Eris E5 or Samson Resolv SE5 which one would you choose?
I have not tested Samson so it is hard for me to give You my opinion on them. All I can say is that I tested Presonus E5 against many comparable monitors and they always fair well, they are solid monitors and a safe choice IMO
@@DSAUDIOreview Thanks. I'll buy the Presonus.
Many thanks for amazing video
Plz help , I have this speakers ers 5 ,my problem is after some time work , I found it very very very hot from back of speakers , what's can I do , it is normal or what
In Eris 4.5 Bass Comes Or Not...?
How do the Presonus 5 compare to the KRK Classic 5?
Hello Digital Stereophony, looking for a little advice please !
I've seen many of your videos about the Eris 4.5 & 5 and I am torn apart because I don't really know which one I should buy because the price gap between the 2 is only 35€..
It is mostly to listen to music (Buckethead, Metal, Rock, Classical, Piano) as I don't mix or anything and also there is no acoustic treatment in my room which is 4x6m.
I currently have the Eris 3.5 and I'm genuinely impressed with what PreSonus has achieved with these 98€ speakers so that's why I'd like to upgrade to bigger speakers. I will be pairing the monitors with my Zoom UAC-2 in case it matters.
Thank you and keep up the good work! Happy new year!
With the price difference so small, just get E5. Smaller E4.5 is not bad by any means, but E5 will be much better in room like yours. Cheers!
@@DSAUDIOreview Thank you so much for your quick response! Wishing you all the best for 2020! 😀
Intersting... in this review i hear the bass of E5 very well... on sonic sense sample the e5 dont have base at all... in that channel lsr 305 have more bass (a lot) than E5, but E5 seems to be clearer. I'm in doubt between hs7, jbl 305 (same price) and E5 (1/4 cheaper) to play keyboard, listen music, movies, home studio. Well, the E5 have good clean bass? (im not a crazy bass).
E5 does have a clean but rather lean bass for 5inch woofer. In reality JBL has more depth of bass and grooves better. I have not heard HS7 yet so I will not comment on them, but between E5 and LSR305 my vote goes to JBL. E5 is rather analytical in character, where JBL is more musical and richer overall in my opinion.
Clear sound signature of E5 comes from forward midrange. JBL has midrange that is both better balanced with highs and lows, and more detailed than in E5. I have both LSR305 and E5 at home but E5 stays in boxes while JBL is used every day in my desktop setup.
Wow, thanks, i guees i could pay a little more and take the 305. Better buy somenthing good for many years.
I would recommend You to do so. Cheers!
I have the E5 I really love them but recently one just went out and every time I put a new fuse it pops instantly does anyone know how to fix it if not I have to buy another E5 they're really good I don't know about the E4
Hi, should i go for the 4.5 or get the cheaper or even spend extra on the krk rokit 5s? Btw i am a bedroom producer and i am on a budget.
Hi Digital Stereophony.
I was going to get a pair of E5s but then as I went to buy them saw a pair of 'Behringer NEKKST K6' for £149 instead of £460 (allegedly). Have you ever heard the NEKKST K6? What do you reckon I should go for? Cheers! :)
pre sonus E5 have 130 watts..thats why have more compact sound
The differences really show through with the Amon Amarth track. The mids drop out in the E5 while they come to life with the E4.5.
Do you make the loudness equal using SPL meter for both?
I have the Eris 4.5. I like them pretty much, im impressed of the highs and mids for such small speakers. Bass is okay and "calibrated" properly but..i feel the need for more bass sometimes. I use them for multimedia and bedroom Dj`ing. I was thinking to go for E5. Does E5 have considerably more bass then E.4.5? Enough to worth the upgrade? (wish the E-4.5 had a button to adjust and add some bass, like it has for mids and highs on the back of the speaker)
just get a sub woofer lol
Amon Amarth! Thank you for testing with heavy metal
I was struggling long time about a new audio solution for my pc desk. Currently have 2x heco victa 301, powered by a very old Harman kardon hk6100 stereo amplifier. But it takes just too much space, so I wanted something smaller without investing more than 150€
Thanks to your reviews I just ordered the presonus 4.5. Pretty looking forward how they will perform compared to my current solution.
Remember to drop a comment when You recieve the Erises. I am also interested in how they compare ;) Cheers!
Digital Stereophony should be shipped next week. I'll report.
Btw do you know the brand Heco? They are a bit bigger sized shelf speakers. Hope the presonus don't be too weak on the low end compared to the victa 301 (30-34.000hz)
Eris E4.5 is substantially smaller than Your Heco, with 4.5 inch woofer versus almost 7 inch in Heco, so there definietly will be a difference in bass response, no doubt. But I find the bass of Eris E4.5 to be very good for their size, You should be fine, especially in nearfield ;)
so they were delivered yesterday. they looked bigger in the pictures/videos, great to see they are so small!
i hooked them up to my pc, and ran a hifi-test-cd on them (EASCA test) sounded quite nice, but i noticed some rattling/buzzing noise at lower frequencies. so i fired up my sweepgen and found out the left speaker buzzed from 50 up to 200hz, something inside was making noise. i was pretty frustrated but decided to just open them up, checked for loose cables or anything, put them back together and it was gone.. guess a cable just might have laid in a bad way that caused vibration nois.
so now they function perfectly.. and i'm amazed how well they sound! even the bass is more than i imagined. i guess i won't need a subwoofer, for that i have my big hifi system on the other end of the room. for general use on my pc (gaming, producing some music for fun) it's just perfect! size perferct!
also i ordered the foam pads.. nice difference. and so much space on my desk now withouth those 2 huge hecos and the big old hk6100.
thank you again!
oh btw.. since you check out a lot of small desk-speakers, try to review the heco ascada 2.0, since heco is my go to brand in hifi, great sound for good price, but those ascadas were too big and too pricey for me as a simple pc-speaker solution.
Ezerus Thank You for Your input! I'm happy that Eris E4.5 works well for Your needs. They are my "go to" speakers for good balance between price, size and sound. Heco Ascada You say, I will have a look at them if the opportunity comes ;) Cheers!
Which one should i go? I will buy either one soon.
presonus Eris E3.5 studio monitors how to setup balanced TRS cable connector
Digital Stereophony, I have a small Home Studio (2.3x3.3m.) which I treated acoustically for vocal recording, percussion practice , and listening. Which one of the two Eris would you recommend? Regards from Lima - Peru
I just bought the Eris 4.5 monitors and am happy with them. Even the Eris 3.5 monitors are all you need for a small bedroom studio. That’s my two cents worth. 😀
No Run The Jewels this time... :'(
Hi have you tried the E3.5 yet ? How is it compared to the 100€ price range ?
They are not available in my country just yet. I will test them when they become available for sure ;)
Great channel. Need A LOT more views and subs. Keep it up
El E4.5 son de los que causan fatiga auditiva , el 5 es hermoso
How does this actually help?
urgh, still drawn in by the beautifully woven, blue kevlar drivers. need.. to.. decide..
easy choice: soundwise the 5's a far superior !
(first, sorry my english is not very well)
I'm looking for cheap monitor,usually
use it at listen to music, playing video games,and important one is DJing, so i bought Pioneer DM-40,but Bass too HEAVY AND LOUD,it coverd mid and high,also my room is very small(2.5M x 3.1 M), it make the bass louder in my room.
So,i decided to buy a new one, seems PreSonus Eris E3.5 or E4.5 is a good choice for me,its cheaper on amazon, do you suggest it? also i afraid E3.5's bass punch too weak,what do you think?
epicgamer123 4.5!
What did yu get, you happy?
Next time also add name lables for whitch speakers are used....
E5 is simple bigger..no brainer here.
E5...wow !!!
I just purchase e4.5 from Taobao today😀ོ
Cheung Jacky me too Bro 618 you know
presonus eris e4.5 or behringer ms40
+gundulmu pie I have not tested MS40 but I tested and really liked E4.5. Presonus is great choice IMO
Definetly E5 no doubt
For mixing 4.5 is better compared to 5
More nice and natural sound in 5.
Eris e5 is top.
great.
Which one is cool for little home studio ?
Both are good, but if You can afford E5 than go for it
Digital Stereophony yes i can brother ! Thanks for reply again !
