The excellent value for money Presonus Eris 4.5 Monitors provide accurate monitoring for home studio users at a price that leave competitors scratching their heads.
Released in 2013 the Presonus Eris 4.5" Studio Monitors set a new level in inexpensive home studio monitoring. With an abundance of room friendly features these speakers offer accurate monitoring for home studio mixing duties and critical listening.
The Eris E4.5 features a 4.5-inch, woven composite low-frequency transducer, a 1-inch (25 mm), silk-dome, high-frequency tweeter, and a rear bass-reflect port. Each speaker is powered by a 25W Class AB amplifier-plenty of juice for a small speaker. Peak SPL is rated at 100 dB. The E4.5 ranges from 70 Hz up to 20 kHz, and at 6.42 x 9.45 x 7.09 inches (163 x 241 x 180 mm), you can shoehorn it into almost any studio space.

just bought e4.5 a couple of weeks ago thanks to your videos. i like the clarity and honesty in your reviews, very hard to come by when choosing the right monitors. 2 years on and your videos are still helpful. subbed. keep up the good work!
This is great, thanks for doing this! Good luck with the rest of the screencast!
I found a pair under the Christmas tree yesterday, and I am really happy with them.
ordered these earlier today after reading some great reviews on them. great video btw
Good video. Good review and good to see you holding them. It gives a good idea of the size. I now the sizes are available online, but it's only when you hold them that you get an idea. Getting a pair this weekend.
Amazing,very honest and true review!
Thanks for a honest review Jonny. On order for January 2016. Gear4Music as always. Cheers.
Jonny. Any ideas on headphones for home recordings? With your help and a few others. these monitors nail it for price. Cheers.
Nice review..ordered a pair..i hear nothing but praise for this model..was going to buy mackie cr5 but found some negative reviews from multiple sources.cheers
thanks a lot talking about that hiss problem man
hi. because of your well explained video i bought eris 4.5 today :).
If you have hearing problems, then you won't notice that hum/hissing and won't have to turn them off for a night.
Very helpful. Thanks for posting.
Cool and honest review! Thankyou!
Very informative review. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for a very good review, Jonny! What do you think, could these work out fine as speakers to an iMac? Like listening Spotify and youtube and perhaps a few videos as well.
Nice review. Thanks. I just ordered these for my digital piano. Looking forward to try them. What are the "bad" monitors with the white driver? I assume not Yamaha. You said "SN10" (and not NS10). Stay safe!
Just picked these up! For the price I love them!!! are they going to match up with a $500 set? No. But for the price, they're a great pick up.
Hi Joony! Thanks a lot for the review. Where did you set the volume level of the monitors? Cause i set them at 12 o' clock but they lack volume, the manual said around 12 o' clock but i hear on a medium level. My daw is at 0 and my interface 12 o' clock too. Any tips?
Man I love mines they are amazing I wish I could get the bigger ones but the 4.5 are excellent I’m very happy
I produced some successful tracks that got radio play on the eris 4.5, including mixing and mastering, that's translated very well to club speakers, computer speakers, car speakers, home sound systems, cheap and expensive Bluetooth speakers, these little studio monitors are excellent. They're not my main set of monitors anymore as I've since got bigger studio monitors now but I still use these for another reference or listening to music, or for arranging tracks, you can really turn up the volume on these and have fun because of the front volume control and my audio interface, where on my other monitors they're set on quite a low volume and I can only control the volume from my audio interface unless I really want to make them louder and I have to re calibrate them. The 4.5 is a solid set of monitors, even if you've got high end monitors, these are still an excellent second set, or main set for small rooms, if you get to know these monitors you can make solid mixes on them!
Recommend putting the speaker cable going to the passive speaker away from any electronics. I had quite a hum that dissapeared completely when getting that speaker cable away. I had it just behind my computer dock and monitor at first.
I have these monitors since 2015 the sound is beautiful, I find them fairly neutral, for the price the sound is good and the speaker and beautiful!
hello, I want to buy the eris 4.5 but I have read many comments that say that when they are on and they are not ringing they sound like interference, it would help me a lot if you gave me your opinion or if it has happened to you. Thank you
Hi Jonny, couple of questions,is the Hum audible on the tracks you record? and do you record and mix music or a DJ ?
Do you need an interface to use these? Or is there a way to connect them to a computer via aux?
Most of the pictures of these do not seem to include the Acoustic Space switch on the back - did they remove this on the 4.5?
I think I will order these this week. are they good for listening to musik and watchin movies?
I bought these used and it didn't come with the cord that connects Left and Right..... What is that called?
New Subscriber from United States N.Y.
Have you try to use the "fuse" in the back? or putting some ground wire? maybe it helps to remove hum. because have plan to buy it. If it works I'll buy it. =)
good review johnny
hello jonny I'm Brazilian has a small room more or less treated the custica these monitors would be a breakthrough? I do not know English very much, is it very difficult to understand?
waow what a fast respond. thanks. i wanna ask a question. im not good at ref monitors. i have focusrite 2i2 how will i connect eris to it. do you have connection tutorial for it. cheers :)
hey bro
i want buy them for playing metal guitar .....working great for this ?
Hi!! Can i use them for bedroom DJing?
Hello sorry i speak spanish i understand almost all you said but i missed what you say about one little problem with them.. could you explain here? thank you.
For the price This are the best ?
Two questions for setting up these PreSonus 4.5 speakers - (1) How do you decide on the low cutoff option, and (2) What is right Acoustic Setting for both Mid and High frequencies for a home studio environment? Thanks in advance!
Thanks, Jonny! Appreciate your prompt and detailed response.
Just ordered these mate.
Thanks for the review.
What comes in the box? Connection wise..
Any trs connection you would recommend?
Hi bud, thanks for checking it out and I'm really pleased to hear it was helpful. The speaker cable to connect them together is provided along with a mains lead. Yeah you'll need a trs cable, tbh I went cheap with mine and they've been fine www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-5M-Twin-STEREO-1-4-Jack-to-Jack-6-3mm-CABLE-6-35-mm-TRS-AUDIO-LEAD-1-5-METRES/332722306798?hash=item4d77cb7eee:g:E4YAAOSwfHVbTJmQ
Hi, how do you fix the gain, its making a Hz white noise sound, cant seem to find a fix (ERIS E.45)
hey bud, I didn't ever get a white noise sound so can't help with that one, hope you get a solution
ok no problem, thanks for responding@@realhomestudioofficial
Very nice and honest video! As far as the 4.5 "hum", I don't receive a hum, but it's like a bit of static, which I am assuming is electrical interference. I've moved my cordless phone, modem and wireless router away from the monitors and still get that crackle/noise. It's very subtle, but sometimes in soft passages or if the monitors are powered on, but not in use, it's very noticeable. I am about to change the interconnected speaker cable with some better-quality shielded cable. I am using a PreSonus AudioBox iTwo interface and even without an input plugged in, the static is present. I would really prefer not to use RCA cables for the Input connection. Any other ideas? I do think these are outstanding monitors for the price!
I have 4.5BT and it does have a hissing noise, if you push your ear close to it, but so did my logitech pc speakers and every other speaker I've seen. I cannot hear it even from 50cm away from the speaker. It has a static noise when you turn it on from the power switch, but it last about 2 seconds and goes away.
Hey Jonny. Found this link on a forum talking about the hum of the speaker. So it's only noticable when using unbalanced RCA? Some people say it's audible even without any connection. I'd consider making or buying an RCA-TRS converter if that would solve the problem.
Thank you for clarifying that. Too bad. I got really excited when I've first seen these speakers. Good looking, nice features, powerful enough for my 20 square meters room. I'm thinking now about the Wharfedale DS-1 but it's only 14 W total, Alesis Elevate 5, M-Audio AV 42 or even maybe the Microlab Solo 7C. I'm still undecided what would be best for movies and music. I could live without Bluetooth but I need decent sound quality up until $250. Any suggestions?
i love these montiors...my only real problem is figuring out which side they go on. the main speak i have on the right and the other i have on the left but they really dont explain which side shud b which
***** yea ur absolutely right.. i just was never sure because if i look at 60 images or videos ill see about 75% the right way and bout 25% at least the wrong way
Hello Jonny,
I'm looking to buy my first set of Studio Monitors and focusing on Pop & EDM, would you recommend these monitors? If not which would you think would be good to start off? I'm a bedroom producer, so I don't have a treated room. The one's I was considering were the Tannoy Reveal 402, KRK G3 5, Presonus Eris 4.5/5 and Samson Resolv 5. Looking forward to your inputs.
+Jonny Goode Thank you, Jonny.
Thanks for the great review am getting them
Glad I could help bud! Enjoy!
@@realhomestudioofficial please are they honest in mixing and mastering? Thanks for Ur rispond
Because am buying them for mixing purposes
Hey bud, this recent upload will answer this question for you perfectly! Full sounds demos too ruclips.net/video/K0Q6Xh-KiuU/видео.html
thank you Jonny Goode...!!
Hello ,can i use this monitors for producing and rec ?I want to buy them but is gonna be my first monitors so i m confused about my choice.
Thank you very much Jonny for the help
It does not turn itself off when PC is not in use.
Dumb question but can you plug these directly into your computer? I plan on getting an audio interface after buying these monitors.
Thanks for your review, Jonny. I'm looking for an entrance monitor studio and this can be a good choice especially thinking about budget (not so cheap here in Brasil, but still a good choice). I'm a begginer in this area so I've got two doubts, can you help me with your experience with the product?
1) Can we make the pink noise adjustment even if we don't have control in passive monitor?
2) Why this product has TRS balanced inputs if there's only a simple cord connecting the two monitors? Did you fell some differences in sound between them?
That's it. Thanks again and sorry about my english mistakes. :)
Thanks for your words Jonny! Really soon I'll be with my little ones. Cheers!
Hello great video..
What's the difference between the 4.5 BT and just the 4.5 monitors, beside bluetooth? It would make sense to go with the Blue tooth version I'm assuming? Or no?
Cheers bud, really appreciated, I wasn't aware of the bt version but yes I would assume that is the difference. I guess if you want bluetooth on your monitors then yes, if not no!
@@realhomestudioofficial Also I really like the 3.5 (the 4.5 sound a tiny bit muddier, i know because of the low end , size of speaker...
Need your advice, wouldnt it be advisable to get the 3.5's and also get this subwoofer to go along with it to fulfill the bass?? This way you.habe complete clarity and optional needed bass, so it doesn't give that muddy response??
PreSonus Temblor T8 Powered Subwoofer www.amazon.com/dp/B00O51AIUM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LkuTFb3ZZS6RM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@FPVMgunit13 In theory a subwoofer makes sense but in practice very few home studios have good enough acoustic treatment to make that a practical option. If you're looking to mix audio and hear the low end clearer then I'd much sooner pair a set of these monitors with some good headphones to give you a better idea of what's going on down there. Hope that helps.
@@realhomestudioofficial so go with the 4.5bt? I really appreciate your help...theirs so many monitors out there and so close and some pros and then cons...lol.... but everything is almost leading me back to the 4.5bt lol
Hello, I am interested for the Monitor PRESONUS Eris E-4.5 Srudio. I want a High Quality Sound but the Bass must too be very good and High Quality .. so what is your Opinion about this Brand? Have it a very good Bass?
No bass at all ! Trust me. If you decide to increase low frequencies, you'll only hear bum,bum,bum instead of clear tone. These speakers start from 70Hz and it's definately not enough.
I will order these 2morrow as my playback speakers for my PC system. Do you recomend some decent DAC not to expensive to upgrade even more sound from Gigabyte GA-Z170X G3 motherboard? This mobo have Realtec ALC1150 115db SNR HD Audio and low noise DAC power. I can even upgrade OP-AMP on this mobo.
I hardly wait to have my fingers on these speakers.
Cheers
+Jonny Goode Thanx for reply mate :)
Luckily these speakers have so much good reviews on YT so it is not to hard to decide. So 2morrow will order pair for me. Its to bad there is not single reviews on Resident Audio M5 monitors. They are each active and look awesome (though look and sound quality sometimes does not goes 2gether :)...
Cheers mate
+Jonny Goode Only nice words for small Eres. Next stop is Temblor T8 :)
You welcome mate :)
Would powering them via a Sinewave UPS remove the faint hum noise?
No idea bud, give it a whirl!
my Presonus Eris 4.5 didnt heve this features accustik. why please ?
Also if i plug headphones to the speakers is there better sound to headphones ?
Thank you so much.
you're not the first person to say that. Seems they might have changed their design features. It's a very handy feature so that's a shame. If you don't have that feature you can try blocking the rear ports if you are experiencing too much bass in your room. I always plug headphones directly into the interface, it's a handy feature on the Eris but can't see any benefits.
@@realhomestudioofficial With accustic its newer version. i found them for the same price with BT.
Thank you :)
@@Lordosvk superb bud!😀✌️
I really cant decide between these or the M-Audio BX5 D2. Any insights?
Thank you Jonny. As I've never had monitors and I cant really go listen to these it's been such a hard choice for me. I think I'm scared I get the worse deal. The M-Audios are R300 (around 18 pounds) more and seem to have less features but have better specs on paper. The choice in South Africa is rather dismal. I want to mix garage and psych rock. Thank you again :)
Thanks again Jonny. I figured I would be happy with either at the end of the day. I'm happy with my Scarlett studio headphones for now but I will definitely look into room treatment as well. I'll definitely give you a sub :)
I'm using them through RCA, out of my computer and there is hardly any hum to speak of
How do they hold up in 2020 ? Did you faced any issues with them up till now ?
@@realhomestudioofficial great. Thanks for replying 👍
I really like them because of their size and weight so I can go on a trip with them, my question is, are they good for a teacher? for music production? Thank you
from what I saw the M-Audio BX5 D3 have a higher frequency range
So, do these still work? I've heard some complaints about Presonus Eris going dead in a year or so, mostly because of their cheap-ish power supply.
Had mine since 2015 and still going strong!
I want to use with my dj controller, and I like BASS, this speaker has a good BASS?? if not, can you show me some model with a good BASS and good price??? Not to expensive
@@realhomestudioofficial thank you so much for your answer!! did you test some another studio monitor like this and is better than this???
inline speaker noise remover will stop the hum.
Any good for heavy rock/ metal?
Don't see why not bud
In addition to what peskywinnets said below (the hum), I'd like to also add my few cents to discussion.
Not worth buying. Why ?
After two days, I consider returning it or throwing through window, because of few reasons.
First, there is a constant hissing coming from the tweeters, with only power cable connected . Yes, I checked it also with and without UPS or different power strips, nothing helps. Hissing/hum - you name it, but for me, its like hearing TV when no programme is broadcasted (snowing, go sleep time). After few hours, because of that hissing sound, I got headache and couldn't sit in front of them anymore. No any tuning helped (back and front side). Because of this issue, I cannot hear anything from it on low volume and have to set ~20% volume level to mask that sound (I think it's about 150Hz). Playing anything very quiet gives you that one sound frequency extra.
Second issue, is a lack of bass frequency. I know it starts from 70Hz, but that causes a huge sound distortion, so listening to some of my tracks is unbearable.
Third, distortions. I cannot explain it easily, but the sound coming from these monitors sounds...plastic. I mean frequencies seem to be modified a lot, maybe due to poor quality DAC or some other element.
Fourth, amplify low frequencies and you hear BUMS as if membrane was broken or hear very short crackling noises. I have no idea where it comes from.
Fifth, playing any game on it ? A joke. no low frequencies and those distortions make it impossible (read: no fun at all).
And finally, sixth - I also connected it to my Xonar Asus DX card and the sound was a complete crap. For comparision, I also checked very cheap $5 USB sound card and sound became a little bit better, but still not satisfying. I wish to return that unit back to the shop, but unfortunately in my country it's barely possible. I could complain to the seller, I could ask that Presonus company for those side effects (not tried yet to not hear what's written in manual), but they might not care about one customer, but what about me ? I simply lost $200 and might not get them back.
Feel free to ask me about anything regarding this monitors. I will shortly make a review of few monitors setups - probably concrete and objective as nobody pays me for my reviews, so if I don't find any solution shortly, you'll read more about this speakers, but not very optimistic. And finally, what I like in this product ? A general look, a set of sockets in the front/rear side.

👍👍👍
5:53 Downsides
It would've been nice to hear them (HELLO)
Hi Sal, I'd recommend listening to any speaker in person, via RUclips and through your own listening device will colour your interpretation of the sound significantly. I wish you all the best. Cheers for supporting the channel.
So the big downsize of this product is something that every single unbalanced connection suffers from. 😂
do not buy the speakers!! There is an audible hum and hissing sound. Even when there's no input and the volume is zero. I sent mine back for repair a mine and they came back to same. Plus I had to pay for postage and packaging
It's a very difficult language, more to say a little
