Eris E66

PreSonus E5 Incredibly clear sound. These reference monitors are absolutely brilliant for a desktop setup with a laptop or desktop computer. Ideal for small studios. The E5 gives excellent sound - the 5 inch driver gives a full clear sound & with the front port gives a solid accurate bass response. EQ as flat as a pancake - good enough for mastering FX with the right studio setup. The 5’s are the optimum size for small to medium studios - far easier to setup. They are front ported so the bass is a little easier to control. Acoustic modeling for the chosen speaker position is possible with extensive controls at the rear of the speaker - see end of post for easy studio setup. The E5’s quality & clarity makes music production a dream. The mix image is clear, you can hear every detail, so every track can be picked out, modified & levels accurately set. Dump the cables supplied in the box & get some good quality SHIELDED cable connectors. TISINO make a quality TRS stereo splitter cable from Amazon - a good choice for a basic direct computer connection with a 3.5 jack – extra long for awkward sockets. All line voltages should be well shielded or you risk interference, hum & crosstalk. The freebie software has some instruments but Ableton is the one. The 5’s have a full solid bass & 80W amp power, so you get lots of headroom before distortion. A sub is really for pleasure not for music making – of course, you should audition your work with a sub &other inferior speakers, once it’s finished - maybe tweaks are needed. These are near field so your position is at the point of an equilateral triangle with the speakers – the point of max clarity – the bliss point. They are good value for money. They are quality kit that can be added to as money allows - USB interfaces, mixers, Ableton Push, whatever – they will shine whatever you throw at them. Their quality build means they should last for years. The E5’s are excellent reference monitors for small studio setups, at an attractive price. You can buy bigger, better and more expensive - £4000+ for a HEDD setup - but you must have the space to set them up properly, with good sound insulation or you will never hear their potential - expensive can easily become cheap boom boxes in the wrong surroundings. It’s all about control of highly dynamic beasts. As for the 5’s, if your space is cramped & who’s isn’t, a carpet hung on the wall behind the speakers will suffice for rooms with some sort of soft furnishings in them – bed, carpet, curtains, sofa, even open wardrobe doors or coats hung on the door, more mess the better - it all helps moderate direct reflected sound & gives you a cleaner sonic space to work in. Moderate volume levels provide you with the most sustainable working environment & the room resonances are easier to control. Front, back, top, walls closely adjacent to the desk – best avoided - & the desk itself are the key surfaces to control. Speaker mounts are essential - 3 tennis balls & maybe a bit of blu-tack under each speaker works well, until proper mounts arrive - don’t let your desk become a muddy-bass amplifying sound board - super nasty. A 1.5m x 1m [approx] medium density sound absorbing ceiling tile suspended above & between, the speakers & your head, at a slight angle to the rear, would be the cherry on the cake. If you just want intense listening pleasure at your desktop & are not bothered about music making, you won’t find better speakers for the price. You’ll be amazed. You get addicted to the detail. Just pop them on your desk with suitable mounts & you’re away. EQ can be applied for the desired warmth & tone. Music becomes a more dynamic 3D soundscape. Gamers will be blown away by the direct blast of explosions, consumed in action. Movies are brilliant. Voice audio is as clear as a bell. For all desktop setups these near field monitors are difficult to beat.

I've been using PreSonus products for a few years now in a home studio context. Every one I've purchased (beginning with the Studio One 2 Pro DAW) has proved itself to be excellent value for money but also, more importantly, of uncompromising quality. When I first heard that they were going to launch several models of active near field monitors I didn't doubt that the company wouldn't release anything that was 'below par' where the established competition was concerned - they have a rapidly growing reputation to defend and seem genuinely proud of all the gear and software that bares their name. Quality hardware usually means high prices so I was therefor a bit surprised to see just how low the price was for these well specified units - surely they couldn't be that good? Doubts aside they were perfectly sized for my desk-top editing setup so I decided to trust in past experience of the company and buy a pair. I'm very glad I did. Firstly they are superbly built, nothing in their construction or controls says 'budget'. Properly supported (I'm using the IsoAcoustics stands you'll see in some PreSonus ad's) they are powerful, fast and really articulate - fed by the output of a PreSonus AudioBox 22VSL they open up the mix and image precisely. You do miss out on extreme bass though as only so much is physically possible with a cabinet this small with a bass/mid driver (Kevlar cone or not) of modest dimensions. To be honest though I'd rather that was the case than to have an inaccurate deep bass. If you need to critically monitor that lowest region you're going to have to match them to an equally articulate sub-woofer; if we're lucky PreSonus might oblige by producing one themselves in the future. If the quality to price ratio is anything like as good as with the Eris 5's it'll be a must have purchase.

Absolutely fabulous studio monitor! Good output and sound quality for its price! Clear sweet clarity with punchy bass and decent mid, do wish the mid is clearer. The sound stage is not quite wide and elaborate but can't complain with this price! Excellent for listening music, might be best to invest more if using it for sound production. Might need to take some time to adjust the position of the monitor to get it right and avoid interference. Definitely invest on a pair of good AUX cables to avoid noise. Just leave the setting to the way it is and turn the high little bit higher allow more definitions(look 2nd pic). Overall brilliant performance, definitely recommend!!

Son unos buenos altavoces elegantes y bienen con dos pegatinas con las letras de presouns en blanco muy muy chulos.

Ces enceintes sont parfaites pour le monitoring de mon mini studio. J'utilise l'AudioBox 44VSL et le logiciel Studio One Artist de la même marque. Je peux faire mes maquettes et mes enregistrements, piano, guitare, contrebasse et violoncelle. Le son est puissant et bien équilibré, de bonnes basses.Possibilités de régler les aigus, les médiums et les basses séparément et un réglage acoustic space en fonction de la position des enceintes. Sorties en trois connections différentes,XLR, Jack 6.35 et RCA.. Ne pas oublier de prendre des câblages avec blindage pour éviter les parasites.

Amazing <3 best stereo imaging and clarity

Los compré en septiembre de 2020, me llegaron en octubre, y a uno de ellos empezó a fallarle el tweeter desde como por enero de 2021 . El sonido no es asombroso como muchos en las reseñas lo pintaban y la verdad es que gracias a esta compra decidí no volver a comprar PreSonus.

Only received one of my two E44s (also ordered the T10 sub), but felt the need to give a quick review. This monitor is fantastic. I plan on using it for listening to high quality recordings. As others have mentioned, its a bit light on bass, but thats why you should have a sub. I don't know why you would think of not having a sub in the first place.... I've got some audio experience but the best reference I have is the Sennheiser 600. Those headphones have been described as the mid-tier king mainly due to the beautiful mids and neutral sound. These monitors go WAY beyond the HD600s. The detail and speed are just amazing. Even brutal death metal with its waves of notes can be picked apart. Hell, even audiobooks sound better. I didn't think that was really possible. Looking forward to finishing the setup with a sub and a higher end DAC with XLR outs. Edit: Full setup is in place. Two E44s and the T10 sub connected to a Topping DX7S DAC. Full balanced setup. Tweaking these to be just perfect has been fun. The sound is pretty amazing. Bang for buck, I'd imagine it would be pretty hard to beat. I would say a sub is necessary though if you're using them to just listen to music. The E44s fall kind of flat in the bass aspect, which is unsurprising given theyre studio monitors. The sub completes them so well.
