I received some new stuff: a pair of Presonus Eris E3.5 studio monitors!
Thanks!! You showed the 1 thing all other videos forget to show. That you actually are able to connect it directly to your laptop! Awesome
Cool!
I didn't want to invest for now in an audio interface, thus I actively looked for this feature.
The sound will be better when I will have an interface and use balanced input, but for now it is great for me :)
@@frankelda9403 Yeah, it's pretty much the same for me. As long as it still does the trick with the laptop it will be fine. Guess at some later stage one can always then go for the interface stuff. Thanks again! By the way, are you able to use the front connections of the main speaker for your laptop and phone and well?
@@djcripel Yes, I already used the Aux input connected to my phone or my guitar amp at the same time I was using the main input from the laptop :)
@@frankelda9403 Thanks Frank!
Update: the speakers come with a cable that you connect directly to the laptop at one end and the front of the main speaker on the other. Sound is great and it serves it's purpose.
Just bought them.. didnt expect it to sound this good, exactly the way i need it
That's great! I was surprised as well as you can guess on the video ;)
Enjoy :)
I just purchased these. You get right to the point and don't waste time doing "bits!" - thanks much. Love the sound
Thanks for your kind words!
Enjoy your monitors :)
Will you use them to make music?
@@frankelda9403 i will use them in my video editing.
Thank you! This is the only video that shows how to connect to a computer and verifies that they sound great even without a DAC, bought them thanks to your video, it was very helpful, Frank!
Happy to help! I didn't find such video indeed, that's why I made this one 😊
What do you think it's the sound good and high or the interface is necessary
@@Shadowed-Secrets-456 no need interface. Of course with it the experience would be great, but without it, I barely pass the 25% of the volume and sounds awesome, powerful and high. I have a DAC with other PC, tried it and yeah, it's better of course. But you can make your neighbours really mad without any DAC, and the sound volume and quality is good enough.
@@eduki thanks a lot
Very helpful video. I will most likely invest in these speakers because of you! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for your comment! I am glad that it helps :)
I am really happy with my choice and they are so cheap!
By the way, don't forget to use one the links in the description if you want to support my channel ;)
Thank you this was helpful! I just got a pair of these monitors and was looking to make sure I set up everything correctly first try.
Great to hear!
Thanks for showing us your new setup! Looks and sounds nice!
It is!
Thanks for watching and your kind words :)
Thank you for this short, helpful video; it is exactly what I was looking for.
Happy to help 😊
Hello, thanks for the video, I had doubts if it was without an interface and finally I found a video without an interface that answered everything I wanted, thank you ❤️
I am glad it helped you :) Thanks for your comment!
I had the same doubts and after checking carefully the product description I decided to take the risk.
@@frankelda9403 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you sir for this! Helped a ton
Glad it helped!
Great review first of all! Just got these over the weekend and they are surprisingly good for the size. I bought the wired version and then ordered a cheap Bluetooth transmitter, plugged it into the 3.5 inch input and streamed from my phone to check mixes and it works like a charm.
Thanks! I am glad you enjoy them :)
Thank you so much for the great installation video
Happy to help! Thanks for your comment :)
thank you for this simple video!
You're so welcome!
Yooooo thanks for this video helped me get setup!!!!!
Happy to help!
Thanks for making this video. great Video
Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much! I have never used speakers before and couldn't figure out how to get those red and white cables in, but looks like you just have to wiggle and press. No one else showed them actually connecting those haha. And seeing someone plug it directly into the laptop is helpful because I don't have an audio interface!
Thank YOU 🙏 I am glad it helps you. I had the same question so I figured that shooting this video would help others.
I am amazed by all this positive feedback for this very brought video 😅
Very cool music on your channel by the way 😊
@@frankelda9403 Aw thank you so much! 💕
thank you so much for this video!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
Thanks for explaining❤
thank YOU for watching!
thank you from Korea! It's helps a lot.
Glad it helped!
"thats good yah" thank you so much i didn't know how to connect the right speaker.
My pleasure :) Enjoy your monitors!
Thanks from Spain
You're very welcome! Hello from Scotland :)
Nice quick and simple video ! i have 2 TRC cables ( with single cut ) that goes to a 3.5 jack. should i use it or the default unbalanced connection you mention here?
Both will work. I am still using it that way and happy with that. But I am not a sound engineer, just a passionate musician 😊
Hi! I did everything you showed and my right monitor (the passive one) isn’t working… I saw some other videos when they use TRS cables to connect it. Is it suppose to come in the box with the monitor?
Nope, you have to buy them separately. I'd check the connection for the right monitor.
Thanks for the video, i would like to know if you're having latency issues since you dont have a audio interface. If you play a instrument on a midi keyboard works well in terms of latency?
Nope. It has no noticeable latency even using directly the computer headphone output.
I use it often with a MIDI keyboard without any issues.
Does anyone know the gauge of the wire for the red and white pairing wire? I lost the one that came with the unit and need to replace
Search for conductor speaker cable. I found a 14 gauge cable on Amazon that might work (not tested) www.amazon.com/Gauge-Black-Stranded-Conductor-Speaker/dp/B00J36SUWC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1440110785&sr=1-1&keywords=red+black+zip+cord
Hi
Do you recommend eris e3.5 for me I want it for listen to music and small party in my house ? It's the sound high enough for that
No, it is not meant for this usage. You would be disappointed by the sound. It is made for mixing sound, not listening to music for leisure.
thanks for tutorial
Thanks for your comment!
I got these monitors and connected them via aux, however when I power them on via the monitor switch, I can hear a low thud/pop sound. The same happens while turning them off. Is this normal and happening for your monitors as well?
Yes it is. It comes from a spike in tension when you switch on and off any electrical device. Don't worry!
Hey.. thanks for video?? Should I use it plugged in onto computer or do I need to get an audio interface??.thanks.
You don't need an audio interface even if you may get a better sound. I use it directly plugged into my computer and it works great :)
@@frankelda9403 thanks man, appreciate!
thanks you
No problem :)
Hi there,
Thank you for your excellent review!
I'm planning to buy a pair next week. How are yours performing so far?
Also, do you need to connect them to an audio interface for a better sound quality?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot!
It should be better with an audio interface, but I am still using it directly plugged into the computer headphone output and am quite pleased with the quality.
@@frankelda9403 Thanks for replying, glad you're still satisfied. I orderd mine a couple of days ago!
@@MrDubbleb Great! I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do 😊
@@frankelda9403 They're finally here !!!!
Love the listening experience so far, rich sound, clear and well balanced. Plus, they're really loud compared to other speakers I used to own in the past. On the other hand, I'm wondering if I get the subwoofer or not for deeper lows. What do you recommend ? Thanks in advance.
@@MrDubbleb I am so happy for you 😊
I think the bass is good enough. Since these are studio monitors, they are relatively "neutral", so don't expect the sound to be as flattering as regular speakers. They are made to detect mixing issues, not to listen to music (even if I do use them mostly for that).
Est-ce que chaque cable qu‘on a besoin est dans le paquet avec?
Oui, a part les cables TRS pour utiliser avec une interface audio en balanced input. Mais pour connecter a un ordinateur comme je le fais dans la video, il y a ce qu'il faut :)
keep it up
Thanks a lot!
Good video!
Thanks!
Hi. I have a small desk like yours and here's the question. Doesn't you feel vibrate on the desk? It is very important to me when I play esports or battlefield games. And can you feel the air from the speakers? Because the mouse pad will be very close to the loudspeaker and I wonder if it will disturb me while playing. I currently have the old logitech x540
OK, I just did the test listening to deep bass music and pretty high volume.
Directly on the desk, you feel the vibration. Not too strong, so I don't think it would really alter your performance while gaming (but I am not a gamer, so). It might give you a more realistic experience ;)
For real, it is not very strong.
The air movement by the speaker is not strong (or your ears will be damaged if you push at max all the time, be careful!).
I just placed two foam pads from delivery under them and I can't feel any vibration at all on the desk. Actually, I may keep them like that!
In the end, with moderate volume (which I highly recommend), you won't have any issues.
@@frankelda9403 Many thanks for testing 😀 It explained a little that I will choose these speakers or maybe something from Edifier 😀 Maybe you tested Edifiers 1600ii and other similar Edifiers ?? Or maybe you tested something similar with the power of these Edifiers on such a small desk ??
@@caacbda1 No problem :)
I haven't tested the Edifiers and these are my first monitors ever.
Out of curiosity, why are you looking for studio monitors? Are you also making music?
I ask that because they are not made for music listening in general. I mean, I use it also for that, but the real benefit is a certain "transparency" of the frequencies allowing you to do better mixing when you create or produce music.
It can be less flattering to the ear or even less pleasant than audio speakers.
@@frankelda9403 The speakers I only use for playing it, mostly in Fps like batellfield, watching movies, and listening to music like dubstep, EDM, house, some rap and pop. I've always had some dedicated speakers like the logitech x540, x530. Once creative. They were always satellites with a subwoofer. Now I want to buy some speakers up to 120. Overall, at this price, it's hard to choose something dedicated to the computer, i.e. the 2.1 system.
Does it have the 1/4 cables for audio interface?
Nope, only a simple cable to plug into your computer or device headphone socket.
@@frankelda9403 i see, thank you
I bring them back two times. I was listening music when after a bad noise the monitor died. Two times. In your opinion what should I do?
Oh, that's unfortunate...
How do you connect them to your audio source?
Right now I am using the RCA unbalanced input with the jack adaptor included and I don't have any issue.
Have you tried a different input?
Vous pouvez aussi utiliser cette même vidéo pour vanter le téléphone utilisé pour faire l'enregistrement ! Bluffant autant en son qu'en vidéo...sinon j'attends ma paire d'enceinte avec impatience je pense que nous avons fait un bon choix :-) Et merci pour le partage
Merci pour le commentaire, c'est sympa :)
J'espere que vous serez satisfait de ces enceintes!
Je filme avec mon bon vieil iPhone 6s et je retravaille toujours un peu l'audio avec iMovie. En general, j'utilise un micro USB (Blue ICE snowball) que je branche sur mon iPhone pour avoir un meilleur son mais pas dans cette video.
C'est genial ce qu'on peut faire avec un simple telephone!
seems like the didn't bundle TRS cables
That's right, you have to buy it separately.
Hi, ive just bought the 3.5s and im trying to use them on my powerful gaming pc but its not recognising the speakers ive literally tried everything! different wires, a fresh windows 10 install, driver updates, used remote assistants from microsoft & i still cant get them working! can you suggest anything frank?
You should be able to get some sound by connecting the jack in your headphone output on the PC. If you use headphones, do you hear anything on the same output?
Or did you buy the 3.5 BT version which connects through Bluetooth?
@@frankelda9403 ile try that when I get home from work & no not the BT version, just the standard ones, thankyou so much for the reply mate!
@@leecaley7203 No worries, I hope you'll manage to make it work. Let me know how it goes :)
@@frankelda9403 thankyou brother, much appreciated
@@leecaley7203 does ist work now? I have the Same Problem.. already tried it on 2 laptops..
When I set it up like you did, I get a vibrating brummy noise. You can hear the music very quiet behind the big level of brumming. Is my motherboard soundcard now to bad, or why can't it work without the noise? I mean they are new, they can't be defective. Gets me upset tbh, speakers always have to make stupid noises and dont do their job :/ . Maybe you have an advice, before sending them back?
That's annoying. Does your soundcard output work well with headphones? It could also be the wiring between the speaker. Check that all the wires are nicely connected and not loose, with the right wire on the right connectors.
@@frankelda9403 at first thank you for you quick response. Somehow it's strange, because when I use the one cable AUX IN input at the left speaker with my AUX out from pc it works without a disruption " BRUMM" noise. When I connect the given red/ white cable to AUX and PC the noise is soooo loud. So what is the best I should do for now? Should I use now the AUX IN from the front for all time? I mean I also doesnt look so beautiful, but it works for now :/
@@frankelda9403 My motherboard with onboard soundcard is the Gigabyte B450M S2H (rev. 1.x)
@@Whizkit Strange indeed. That's good news if the AUX in works at least, but it is not ideal and it should work with the red/white cable as I did in the video. Maybe a faulty connector on the speaker? I don't know much more to be honest...
@@frankelda9403 do you mean the socket in the speaker where you put the cable in or the red&white cable itself. yeah it strange, and tbh, I just want to know if the speakers are fine or not >D
What adapter do I need for a MacBook Pro 2020? I only got the lighting USB ports
You can plug it directly into the headphone output as I do. If you want to use a USB audio interface, you will have to use and USB-C to USB A adapter.
@@frankelda9403 there is no headphone output bro that’s what I’m saying. There’s only the lighting cable USB ports on the 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch
@@cmad2345 Oh I see, I've got a 2018 model and it has the headphone output 😅
You can use a lightning-jack adapter then.
@@frankelda9403 awesome just got one ! Thanks a ton bro!
@@cmad2345 Happy to help 😊 Enjoy!
When I turn up the Sound I hear an Electrostatic sound. What should I do?
Can you hear any music at all?
It is happening as soon as you start to turn the volume up?
It is probably the connection with the source which is not good.
@@frankelda9403Help please. I can't hear the sound in pro tools when I'm playing piano
@@frankelda9403 PLEASE HELP, In pro tools when I complete what I have done yesterday, I can't hear my MIDI or any sound. I have to create a whole new session to hear my MIDI. What should I do?
@@riojr2853 Well it can be many things actually. Have you tried to add a loop on a track and play it to see if any sound come out at all?
I am not used to ProTools, but you certainly have preferences settings to choose which output channel you want to use. I would check that.
This is active speaker or passive speaker ?
These are active speakers.
Yoooo it comes with styrofoam. Dope. I love styrofoam
Ahah cool :)
Ordered one pair
Cool! I hope you will like them :)
I will tell you once i get them
@@nayanbasistha how do you like them?
Well, they projects really well though they lack
sub frequencies(below 80 Hz) definitely but for the size and the price they are just amazing. :)
Music industry doesn't know what's about to hit em
you got this 👍
You will only realise the true potential of these speakers by using audio interface and plugging into the unbalanced inputs of the speakers. Using the RCA inputs to produce balanced outputs will only result in a desktop like speakers sound. Using unbalanced inputs from audio interface will give you speaker outputs that are life like ...meaning you will experience that the singers are actually in the room with you!! I just set up my Eris3.5 two days ago and amazed by that. I highly recommend you to invest in a focusrite 2i2 3rd Generation audio interface. Good value for money.
Thanks for the suggestion! I actually wanted to buy a focusrite audio interface, but it wasn't in my budget. Maybe a treat for Christmas ;)
I already very pleased with the sounds using the jack cable.
What kind of music you produce with them?
@@frankelda9403 I am not a professional musician. Just recording for fun singing and playing my guitar. I song lead for my small Christian group online meets. Basically just enjoying listening to music. I suggest you check out the focusrite Scarlett . They are quite affordable and easy to use.
@@keanbuantan3012 That's cool :) Do you plan to release songs then? If you already play the guitar and sing along, you have all you need.
Thanks for the recommendation for the Scarlett :)
Which cables did you use? I bought some braided Colicoly cables from Amazon which looked well-made and had good reviews, but they delivered only weak and unstable sound. I am also trying to connect Eris 3.5 to my Scarlett.
@@rachelmilloy7640 Right now I am using the cable provided with the speakers. I don't have an audio interface yet. It works fine.
you have a french accent, mon ami
I surely have 😄
Don't place it too close to the wall! You're blocking the air vents/ports.
That makes sense, thanks for the tip!
Plus its bad for acoustics youll lose some low-end by placing them closer to walls and corners especially. But its fine
Well actually those are bass reflex ports so if you place them too close to the wall you will have a bass boost on certain frequencies, which is bad if you want a flat/transparent frequency response for mixing. They should state the minimum distance in the manual
@@mastertrey4683 it's the opposite, you will have a bass boost with any sound source close to a wall/corner
a 6.15 video to open a box and end up saying "that's good".
No test with a sound card (a guitar in the background), Presonus are monitoring, what interest. :(
Thanks for your feedback :)
What would you have liked to see in a video on these speakers? When you say sound card, do you mean an external audio interface?
@@frankelda9403 yes an external audio interface, it would be interesting to have your opinion
@@desmojack9072 Alright. I agree that would be interesting. I don't have one at the moment, but I will plan that.
