PreSonus Eris 3.5 Studio Monitor (2nd Gen) (Pair)

(1)
Presonus Eris 3.5 (2nd Gen) studio monitors deliver studio-quality sound in an elegant, compact form factor that makes them ideally suited for bedroom studios, video production and high-fidelity gaming setups. These precise monitors are used worldwide by audio engineers and producers who need to hear every detail of their recordings. With 25 watts per side of onboard power, the Eris 3.5 (2nd Gen) reference monitors pack a serious punch, while still delivering clear, accurate audio. The design of the 3.5" woofer results in tight bass that you can feel, as well as a clean overall sound. The 1" silk-dome tweeter produces refined high frequencies and is designed to radiate sound with a wide pattern, creating a large optimal listening area. Improved speaker voicing over previous designs delivers richer lows and a smoother crossover transition for articulate, accurate transient reproduction throughout the frequency range and a less-fatiguing listening experience. A convenient front-panel knob sets the level of both the power amp, and the headphone amplifier with its front-panel jack. With three types of inputs, it's easy to connect just about any audio source to these reference monitors. High- and low-frequency controls let you easily adjust the Eris speaker's frequency response to compensate for the acoustics of your space and create the most accurate sonic reproduction possible. You can also add an Eris Sub8 BT (sold separately) to build a perfectly matched 2.1 sound system that fits almost anywhere. Flexible connection options and a convenient, integrated headphone output make Eris 3.5s at home in any environment—from home studios to dorm rooms. High- and low-frequency controls make it easy to adjust your Eris speaker's frequency response to taste and ensure optimal performance in any space. Whether you’re making music or listening to your favorite albums, an Eris 3.5 (2nd Gen) studio monitor provides a studio-quality sound that will bring your audio to life.

You don't have to be a professional to appreciate that not all speakers are created equal. However, if you are a pro, or even just a hobbyist with high standards, nothing less than a proper high-end studio monitor is good enough for your recording setup. Monitors have a very important job: accurate reproduction of sound in situations where every note, each sample and every vocal are absolutely crucial. When you're recording, you need a speaker more precise than any you'll expect the sound to be played back on if you want to make sure it will sound right on every system.

What sets powered studio monitors apart from unpowered ones is that they have their own built-in amplifier. That means they don't need an amp head to power them—you can just plug a powered monitor directly into an electrical outlet, hook it up to an audio source, and you'll get sound. This ease of use makes powered monitors a great choice for studios just getting off the ground that don't have an amplifier head on hand. They're also perfect if you're an audiophile, providing the best sound quality with a home stereo system. Since the amplifier in a powered monitor is specifically designed for the speakers it shares its cabinet with, it also takes some of the guesswork out of putting together a studio setup. There are still a few things to think about, though. Mainly, you'll want to be sure the monitors are a good size for the application.

If you're working out of a very small studio, then you can get by with a compact set. If you're using them as stereo speakers or in a big studio space, then look at some larger monitors instead. It's also a smart idea to match the speaker configuration of the monitors with the type of music you'll be working with—for example, if you're recording hip-hop with deep, thumping bass, the ideal monitor will probably be one with a big woofer that can best handle those heavy low frequencies. No matter how you plan to use your powered monitors, from the studio to recreational listening to the sound booth, they're a choice as individual as the hardware and software you connect them to. Take your time when looking at the available choices, and look for the monitors that fit your space, your style and your budget.
