Family battle between new small Presonus Eris E3.5 and well established bigger brother, Presonus Eris E4.5. Eris E4.5 is one of my favourite budget monitors, so before its smaller brother arrived for tests I hoped it will retain most of it qualities, sans the bass response. Unfortunately Eris E3.5 came with more compromises than I hoped for, mainly the midrange is less fluid, less natural and has a spike around 1.5kHz that makes it sound shouty and forward, plus it is a bit lacking in lower midrange. As expected E4.5 has better bass response, sounds fuller and more natural overall.
Sound quality is not the only difference between the two, E4.5 has a bit better build quality as well, plus more tone controls to shape the sound.
Overall Presonus Eris E3.5 is a good speaker for the money, one of the better actually, but if You expect it to be E4.5 for half the money than You may be disapointed like I was. I can not blame the speaker for my overblown expectations though... What do You think? Would You go for E4.5, of save 100 bucks and buy E3.5? Let me know in the comments below! Cheers!

One of the more useful reviews/demos I've seen on YT. Thx.
wow, this really helped make my decision. The 3.5 it is. I like that I will be able to adjust my bass as loud as I can and peak knowing it will have no distortion from the 'listening' speakers
Excellent comparison, thank you . For me, the 4.5 outshines the 3.5 in most genres
This comparison is was I what looking for!! Great job and thank you so much!
Absolutely ultimate comparison ...cz of you we can select what we can't do by simply comparing specs thank you so much @digital stereophony
the 4.5 just sounds like a bit more of everything, but the underlying character is really similar. which i think is a big compliment to the 3.5. i'm getting the 3.5 for my PC, thanks a lot.
The fact you used correct audio recording equipment made my decision so much easier when it come to choosing one of the two! Thankss!
Great Review. Thank you for taking the time. I'm going to purchase the Eris 3.5 :)
Got my 4.5 today! Listened to all of your comparisons with the E4.5 and they really were a good choice for me. I´m using them for listening music (Metal) and they´re sounding excellent! Now i´m looking for a sub, but even without sub, they´re great. Thanks for your videos (subbed)!
Hey, did u get the sub? In that case, wich one? I have the 4.5 and i'm interested in opinions.
Do they humm, hiss from time to time? 10x
Finally a well made test ! Thanks !
Thank you for doing this. The 4.5 clearly sound better and a bit fuller, however the 3.5 are all I need for a cheap set of traveling monitors along with some living room use. Awesome, they sound damn good for the sound/price. Thx!
The 3.5 do sound very good for what they are. Very good clarity (better than the 4.5s even in that particular department), lacking thumping bass, but I don't care for that anyway.
The 3.5s are surprisingly loud & very clear. I was shocked. Gonna purchase them for my home studio set up.
U fine with them? I get mine in some days for mixing my rap songs.
I just recently bought the Eris E4.5. The sound is really great!
Hi everyone. I am writing this review on the Presonus Eris 3.5. I bought a pair a while ago. I feel it is important to address my experience and also how it relates to this video. In this video the Eris 3.5 sounds 'harsh' etc. When I listen to this video versus playing the original song on the video through my Eris 3.5, it does not sound the same. My EQ at the back is standard 12 oh clock. But before making any judgments, the following happened: I bought a pair through Takealot. When I received it, it did sound a bit harsh. However, after some time playing with the system, one speaker started giving problems. It went soft, loud, soft, loud and eventually had 'hiss' noise. The speakers also sounded that it lacked some low-end depth, but that was expected as it only has a 3.5 driver. I then send the speakers back. Takealot sends me a brand new pair. I now have it just over a month and it sounds great. But this is the weird thing - my new pair (1) Does not sound harsh, (2) Has a LOT more depth and low end, (3) is just amazing and (4) have not given me any problems. I would still want to invest in a budget second-hand sub. So... for those who do not have money for studio speakers, I personally would recommend 3.5 if you want to start out on basic sound over video editing and producing songs. You will not be wasting your money. It will be an investment and you can, later on, invest in a better system. So in general, don't feel bad if you can't afford something better. It does not devalue you as a person or your music. Tip: they are NEAR FIELD MONITORS. So don't buy them if you going to watch movies etc. You are meant to sit closer to them within the correct field. Words in movies will sound muffled if you sit far from these speakers. Rather buy a normal theater system. But if you are into accuracy and critical listening, yes get them. But it is important that you consider your room layout, acoustics, speakers placement and tweaking the EQ as needed. Trust me, you will not lack low end, except under 80Hz. If you can save up for a bigger pair, buy a bigger pair. If not, buy a smaller pair, it is okay. But be proud of it and learn to mix on it and practicing your judgment and ears. Presonus does say they were designed for mixing. In conclusion, they are not harsh, the sound is strong, the built quality is good, they do not lack bass, but they do lack under 80 Hz, which can be a workaround if you can get a second-hand cheap sub (studio powered sub with a build-in crossover). Lekka ouens - geniet dit. Let me know if you have any questions. Update: if your Eris 3.5 sounds harsh and as if it lacks a lot of low-end, I recommend to do a replacement, as it may be a faulty amp/driver. That is my personal opinion, I may be wrong.
Very helpful thanks
you are awesome! thanks
I have them a week now and they are really awesome...so pure and full in sound..can't get better for the rediculous low price... :)
Actually you cannot judge the quality by listening to the video alone. It will be totally different. What we do is to listen to the difference between the speakers, so we get and idea of what to expect.
Black Friday, there I go! Hahaha...
Mine e3.5 arrive last week, and I'm in love with'em! Very well defined frequences, nice design, compact size (cause the size really matters haha), with 50w RMS!!! It's a great choice for mixing at home with the minimum of quality. I regret for not buying that before. ❤️
I got my 4.5s for 90$
So macht man Sound Demos…sehr gut. Danke. Wollte erst die 3.5er nehmen, aber der Unterschied zu den 4.5 ist ja wirklich schon sehr groß…
I've been avoiding these video comparison for a while. But, damn, I was wrong. Thanks for creating these!
This made me excited to get my 3.5 soon. Just pre ordered it thru a local dealer.
I got my 3.5 Eris yesterday. Great pairing with my computer. These are 2nd generation.
BIG THANK YOU. The best review ever made.
Trying to buy my first pair of studio monitors. Your videos are super helpful. Thank You
wich one did u buy? im tryng to figure out if 3.5 works good for a home studio or alesis elevate 5
Edwin chiu bought eris 4.5 with bluetooth. They are ok, maybe could handle lower frequencies a bit better but I think its sufficient for home studio. Overally, I’m satisfied and I think I won’t need any better monitors.
I’m afraid 3.5 inches might be constraining at some points
I have both the 3.5 and 4.5. What youtube videos don't show you is that the 4.5s have a noticeable hiss. While this is pretty normal for monitors, the 3.5s don't suffer from that, which makes them much better to use at low volumes. I upgraded to the 4.5s but ended up swapping back to the 3.5s after a while because it was doing my head in. At normal volume the 4.5s are very very slightly clearer and have a tiny tiny bit more bass but honestly, in the real world the difference is barely perceptible. Its not worth paying twice the price for them imo. The 3.5s are the best value monitors out there. They don't go that low but they are surprisingly accurate.
I only had the hiss on my 4.5 when I used my Focusrite Scarlett interface. After upgrading to an Audient audio interface I immediately noticed that the hiss was gone.
@@rk28984 which one of the Audient audio interface do you use?
That must have been a different noise you were experiencing. The hiss on my 4.5 is present even when nothing is connected at all and is simply not there on the 3.5
@@satriaa.nugraha5617 I have a ID14 MK2 now.
@@jackarts6901 I wouldn't say that. I had a Behringer UMC404HD and the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 and both had the noticable hiss issue.
I just double checked and yes there is a little bit of hiss when I use the Audient, but only noticable when my ear is like 5cm away from the speaker! So I conclude that the Audient solved the issue for me.
For a long time I still don't know which to get...
The 3.5 seems slightly more detailed but maybe due to the 4.5 having more bass?
The comment section seems to be torn and just add to the confusion...
Is it posible to get the 4.5 and lower the bass from the eq behind to sound more like the 3.5 when bass isn't needed(Night listening)?
The 3.5's guitar sound more pronounced than the 4.5 when bass is present which is nicer, but I want the bass thumping when needed
😊 done deal just bout the presonus e4.5 by, ready to sound on with my iPad Pro 12.9 setup. Your videos helped with my decision. Thanks
I just ordered the 3.5 for my ipad setup today. I really need to upgrade to a ipad pro. Right now I'm using ipad 2 64gb
finally made my mind up, was going to get the 3.5 but for little extra the difference in sound is surprising.
100 bucks more isnt little extra...
In the uk it's like 50pound more
hi, can you make a video including M-Audio BX5 D? you can compare it with other well-known 5inch monitors. thanks.
Ι have the 4.5 for about 1,5 years. I am over pleased by them. For home , music, movies and music creating (electronic) .All of them went to another level for us home. I fully recomment the 3.5s to a friend lately, for the less money ofcourse, but with great quality of sound. And no problems i must say. A little sound that you can hear from the monitors, is only when they are on and don't play and only if you are very close to them. It's nothing, it doesn't exist when they play, even at their lower volume . I have them permanent at the 1/3 of the volume and use only the pc's volume (which goes until the half, then problem with bad neighbors ), SO LOUD they can play and clear sound. I also enjoy A LOT to watch movies at loud volume, not annoying for ears (i mean for home, not in the cinema).Fully recommented as i said earlier.
What do you think of the 3.5 vs 4.5?
@@mrtechie6810 I haven't heared the 3.5 from close, but the sound from the video reminds me the 4.5. You can play with their sound from behind also, bass, middle, if you are close or far from them, their acoustic in the room. I think the 3.5 are also enough for home.
Very good test, thank you. Which is better in a very small room (8nm)? I'd use it to my computer on the desk with an external DAC.
Thank you for this compare mate 👍
Very well made video and love the music!! Very helpful.
Can you lower the bass on the 4.5 to make it sound like the 3.5? I feel like 3.5 is more clear but I want to have the option for bigger bass when needed. thx
i have the old version of eris 4.5 and i have two knob for that ...... i see on amazon that the new version is without the knob .... on mine i have "headroom" and "bass" with -4db -2db or 0dB ....
wanted the 4.5 came here wanting the 3.5, thanks for the review
I almost bought 3.5s. This demo convinced me to get 4.5, way more balanced in midrange.
Thanks a lot. I had the Ceres 3.5 but sent them back. I'm hoping the Ceres 4.5 are almost identical to eris
Thanks for great review and sorry if im late thought about 3.5 but tnink ill be going for 4.5 add a T10 for bass rumble.. big up you self and keep up the good work.. subbed btw..bless
Thank you very much for this comparisons!!!
listening on my 4.5's, glad i spent the extra sounds extremely full compared to the 3.5's
I’m about to buy a pair of small studio monitors and have listened to most of your DS comparisons - very insightful, thank you. A suggestion, if I may, a ‘spoken word’ test would be really useful in these comparisons, doesn’t matter what language, maybe both male and female? What do you think? Thanks 👍
Just got the 3.5 thanks to your videos and it's amazing, can't believe the 100 euro price tag! Huge value!
and this is what i needed to convince me to order mine hehe.. bruh do you own a studio? or you use them just for listening pleasure
@@valentineezeudu6638 I'm a freelance motion designer/video editor. My home office is pretty small and these work perfectly, anything bigger and more powerful would be too much. They sound great for any kind of music really.
@@valentineezeudu6638 When they arrive try listening to this ua-cam.com/video/D-h6MoF7HLA/v-deo.html
Nenad Zivanovic okay will do that.. they are coming today or tomorrow. That’s some high quality music!
Ok.. great! I’m setting up a home music studio
Wow the 3.5's are so much clearer, and of course I understand the 4.5 sounds fuller because of a bigger driver... however I still prefer having the clarity of the 3.5s instead. I've got neighbours behind 2 walls in my studio apartment so that plays a factor as well, if it comes to it and I feel like I need more then a sub can be added right?
Completely agree with you , nice to see someone considerate of his neighbors , unfortunately rare these days , 😇😇😇 .
It's exactly the same tweeter only the woofer and crossover are different. I think the 4.5 has some advantages but those aren't worth $100.
hai this is soo cool... n m confused which is best in terms of intrument pickup ...coz i need to hear each instrument backin on the track , accurately on a budget deal :) ..hopefully waiting for a reply.
What cables are required to connect the presonus 3.5 to presonus audio interface.?
Khass Batein 5 trs balanced
I 3.5 sono buoni per il mixaggio edm, trap, hip hop (home studio)?
Very pleased with the results for the 3.5. Obviously the 4.5 sounds better but also cost $100 more. Thank you for this amazing review kind sir
Big difference in sound, but I don't know, I'd still pick the 3.5 because it has far better clarity for treble, and a sub might fix its bass issues.
I've been listening to a lot of comparison videos on this channel and I can say that the 4.5 is actually worse than the 3.5. Presonus fucked something up on the 4.5 because it always stands out as extremely different and colored from all the other speakers no matter what you're comparing it to. In fact e5 sounds closer to 3.5 then 4.5. e5 and e3.5 also both sound similar to Edifier and other leading brands. The 4.5 sounds like some cat accidentally messed with your EQ.
Agreed, I'm also looking forward to order 3.5 and then, if I miss some bass, I can add a cheap subby. The detailed mids of 3.5 is worth it; 4.5 loses some important presence in singer voices.
The 4.5 adds too much warmth into the mix imo.
@@camelCased whats the cheapesr sub you find?
or can headphones do the work
Thanks for all comparaisons really usefull. I'm struggling since Presonus has asked my (all?) Eris 3.5 back because of electrocution risks or else. Indeed I've had noticed power on one jack while unplugging. (with power off...!) I was so pleased with them...I'm a beginner, small room.... Now the store offers me the Mackie CR4 instead but I've read about some strange malfunction (like dying for no reason) after a few months so I'm wandering about giving extra money to get the Eris 4.5. Any advice? Of course I've checked the Eris 4.5 vs Mackie CR4 battle but here it would be more about product/brand quality than sound, both sounds great to me and will be improvement anyway. Thanks!
I would go for E4.5 instead of CR4. Higher quality product with better sound IMO
Thanks man for the great job!
Thanks for the video. I've just bought the 4.5's for music, movies and very occasional gaming. Can you tell me how to connect to a TV? Got an old LG HD TV but will be getting a new one very soon..
Are the 4.5 louder then the 3.5 by much as bought a pair of 3.5s yesterday and found they just aren't quite loud enough and find the 3.5 sounds ok till about volume up half then after that it gets a bit mess if trying for louder so going to return them. Would the 4.5s go a bit louder and handle it better you think?
The 3.5 sounds more open. I prefer it over the 4.5. I bet imaging and transparency are better too.
Who is here because they bought their Presonus Speakers long ago but this demo track is just so cool I keep coming back !!!
super job comparing these two sets of monitors. Listening to your comparison clips the 4.5s sound "fuller" with better frequency response, but they also sound a little heavier at the bottom end. Do you think that the 4.5s overstate low tones and the 3.5s understate them? Which pair do you think makes for a more accurate mix?
E4.5 is a superior monitor in every diemension IMO. Not only does it have more natural bass response, but more impotrantly its midrange is more natural, precise and detailed. Definitely go with E4.5 for mixing if You can
@@DSAUDIOreview went with the 4.5 and it is excellent for mixing. thank you.
Amazing idea this video.. Well made too!
@DSaudio.review Which one is better JBL 305p mkii or presonus Eris 3.5/4.5 ?
Great video. The 3.5s sound great.
Can you tell me the room 4 x 4 meters should use 3.5 or 4.5 for the best sound quality?
I think both will be fine
E5XT
If you were going to combine this with the Presonus Temblor T10 subwoofer anywayz -- would the E4.5 + subwoofer still sound better than the E3.5 + subwoofer? What do you think?
Gald I found this comparison, thank you. Can I add a separate subwoofer if I need more bass occasionally?
In my opinion the 3.5s sound clearer in this demo while the 4.5s sound fuller. I personally did not think the extra $100 was worth and decided to go with the 3.5s and I couldn't be happier with my choice. These are fantastic budget monitors.
Smaller Base/Mid Speakers are much better in clarity..
Sounded clearer because they lack bass......
I have the E3.5's. I prefer them and find they are better balanced and their bass limitations are actually an advantage. The trouble with small monitors is they try to cover too much range rather than concentrate on the mids/trebles which is where most of the listening frequencies occur. The only flaw I have found is a slight bump in a certain frequency, I forget which note.
Thanks i bought them too
@@wyyho yes me too... I never had monitors , so I can't compare them... But you need to install them away from corners and walls !! Watch tutorial on UA-cam how to position studio monitors. Otherwise you will get a boomy sound
Remember its the formfactor aswell , both are great but if you need smaller speakers go for 3.5.
I'd be using these for listening to music and gaming so which should I go for? Also would a sub pair better with one over the other?
Somehow 3.5 has a better sound stage and imaging. Listen to the guitar and the snare sound, it sounds so accurate on them. While 4.5 has better body to it but some how falis to saparate the instruments and slightly muddy in the mid region. I have the 3.5 and i just luv them for critical listening. I even mix on them but don't recommend for mixing as you don't get sub frequencies from them. But for critical listening sessions it's the best at this price range. I like to listen to indie and acoustic songs on them.
4s all the way, its like listening to music though same speaker in your house or at a stadium
Really thank you for this video. I was thinking if I should Get Mackie or Presonus.
After listening to your video Mackie vs Presonus. I decided Presonus. But after that is it 3.5 or 4.5. and I'm grateful you have this video for comparison as well.
I love 4.5 cause It sounds fuller. But if I get 3.5 and get a sub then maybe it helps (after reading the comments). Since clarity is important for music makers and starters like me than fuller sound which can be added later with a sub.
Which did you got?
Sub is not even recommended for small room. So maybe just turn up the bass a bit if u want from 3.5
The 4.5 sounds bit more in depth and bassy but the highs on the 3.5 are a bit more defined you i defo think 4.5 sound cleaner and less harsh but might not be good for mixing
3.5 for me...the price and the sound...wow !
The 4.5 is much fatter and fluid to listen to, I'd pick that. Hey, can you do a comparison between the E5 and Eris 4.5?
The best test for sure
Are they any good for djing/mixing/listening to loud music?
Hi, you have great content, go ahead. Greetings from Russia.
Привет, какие лучше 3.5 или 4.5?
If you guys experience a buzzing sound when speakers are turned on:
1. ensure all connected devices are powered from the same power outlet/extension outlet
2. switch from using RCA cables to TRS cables
I was searching online for a solution to this and came across others experiencing the same thing but with no real solution. I'm sharing this so that everyone can enjoy these lovely speakers without any buyers remorse like I had at the beginning :)
lower the gain on the back of monitors by 75% is a solution? it eliminate the rustle
@@MaestroStefanoPetrini that didn't work for me. the cables made the biggest difference. my source was from my desktop's motherboard sound card which is known to have a lot of interference. it didn't have any buzzing if i use my phone or other devices as a source
So how did you solved?
@@MaestroStefanoPetrini swapping to TRS cables instead of RCA
They almost sound identical until you get to the extreme end of some frequencies.
4.5 seems that has more punch but voice is more clear in 3.5 for this reason.
can´t relate to. 4.5 is more clear
I'm looking for a good studio stereo monitor to hookup a Zoom G3XN guitar processor and Gibson Les Paul guitar ($200 price range). Would really it to be dual powered for versatility. Any suggestions?
For 200$ I would get JBL LSR305
Absolutely brilliant ! thanks for the comparison. Some help is needed, as I am only going to use the monitors for video editing and mouting, basically voice + real world noise, so 3.5 or 4.5 ? My studio is around 6-7m2 .... Thanks for your help.
E4.5 by a big margin. Cheers!
@@DSAUDIOreview just to let you know, after watching and listening to your reviews (eyes closed), iLoud Micro Monitor have been my choice, they are incredible for the size, and perform exactly as needed in my small space. Thanks again for all your tests !
can someone help me to understand if the presonus eris 3.5 can be good as a main studio monitor?
I would like to mix and produce with a DAW .... I am a novice and I have limited space, everyone tells me to take expensive products like yamaha hs6 to start ... thanks
Sorry my english
Yes, they can be good in a small room, but you might want to add a sub if you produce something with lots of drums and basses. Here's an article about someone who uses 3.5 for music production and shares his experiences: ocremix.org/community/topic/47200-faithful-studio-monitor-speakers-with-flat-frequency-response-and-crystal-clear-sound/
Channel great!. Thank you
Wow the 3.5 sound really good.
4.5 has a little heavy in the bass test
I also have 3.5. 😊. I bought one of it. Really good monitors
guys, to hear the difference, you need to have a nice pair of studio headphones or smth. i hear such a big lvl up on 4.5, no chance for 3.5 to be better😉 my recommend is 4.5 cos its a wider, much much clear, and more flat.
@@owlglue8461 yes
@Daniel Duran it would be interesting to know if the bass punch with the setting of 3.5 to +6, is on the whole equal to or greater than 4.5
Which do you think is the best option 3.5,4.5 or 5 for home production and mixing hip hop/Rnb/Trip hop?
You can get E5 for 99$ per piece now. Go for it
@@DSAUDIOreview where fam
Thank you for choosing music that was varied and played with instruments as well as digital samples. I've seen too many speaker demos that do not use music recorded in a studio but created in a computer. I have both in my library but having the full range particularly the classical and big band style really completes the picture.
Very well pointed out
Will buy 3.5 and for adjusting subs will gonna use my ath m50x i think this will the do job for me
good choice I plan to do the same only that I will go for 3.5 and use my 40 mx for the bass
Gosto muito das músicas usadas nos testes.
I subbed you very useful content

Does you use an audio interface to transfer signal those speakers connected via TRS 6.35mm or you use a pair of rca cables connected to your computer with a 3.5mm Unbalanced output?
yes he use audio interface of course and trs cable for connection
Well there you have it guys, PreSonus wins. But on the serious side, the 3.5 sounds more flat to me thereby making it better for music/audio production.
are the eris 3.5 good for digitalpiano too? playing piano and NOT recording or mixing! = listening music too
mids on the 3.5 sounds good
In song at 2:36 Eris 3.5 sounds much more clear and expansive. Wow
It doesn't sound clearer. It's missing the low end giving it the illusion that it's clearer through the microphone, but in reality the 4.5 has a more expansive sound including the frequencies the 3.5 is playing.
@@spandexunderwear3630 I was trying to explain this to everybody... Why the heck they would release 4.5 if was lower quality than 3.5 xD
@@yurianvise1672 But still, which one of these will you rather get? the 4.5 or the 3.5?
@@AlejandroGonzalez-vi3oj ofc I will get 4.5 ! But personal, I use 3.5, because I didn't had a budget ! I cant really compare them , because are my first speakers. But you can do some work with them! It really depends on the room acoustic and treatment first ! But I manage to do some , basic mixing... I think the most important is the room treatment and acoustic :) . If you are a beginner , you can buy them . They work fine, but 4.5 are better ofc, more low end !
you need to have a nice pair of headphones to hear the difference. 4.5 sound much much better on my Monolith m1060
Which one is the smarter choice for a small bedroom studio?
Sounds like 3.5 has wierd high mids in comparison. Not sure if the crossover causes it.
The difference listening thru my iPad speakers is the 3.5 sounds like someone has turned up the treble compared to the 4.5. Great clarity though. 😀😀😀 Now listening through my mixer with very transparent headphones I actually like the clarity of the 3.5 ........
Hi, do I need a DAC with my E4.5 when I only listen to Spotify from my desktop?
wich one do u recomend for house music production in a 5x3 room?
Last week I bought a pair of Eris 4.5 and this week a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100. They sound awesome in comparation with my old Microlab FC 330 that will be used for movies and games. I only have 1 problem with them(Eris 4.5), there is a "noise" while there is no music played or not even connected to my DAC. That noise can be heard, even while playing music sometimes if there are silent parts, especialy if songs are not so loud and it doesn't change if I rotate the volume button(?). The noise starts after 0.5-1 sec after I turn them on. I bought the DAC thinking it was from the PC sound card(Asus Z170-A integrated sound system). Also it comes from the twitter and if I lower the High db from the back at -6 it become weaker. Are they broken or it's normal ? Should I contact the seller ? I do not want to give them back, I like them a lot, - that noise.
75% of active speakers I test have some level of hiss. Rarely it is audible over music like You describe, and my pair of E4.5 has normal level of hiss that does not interfere with music listening. I would contact seller to rise the issue and ask if he can exchange Your pair for a pair with less hiss
It can be hear especialy over not so loud parts in a song, like complet silence moments. It's very weak, but it's there if I listen very carefuly. I contacted both the shop and Presonus and now I am waiting for a response. I can hear it , when there is silence in the room, from around 60cm away from the speaker. My older system has no hiss, but it did not sounded as good. Did you heard a noise when you turn the volume up/down ? I noticed it today.It dosen't apear everyday.
It's my first set of active speakers, I have no ideea how others behave :) . Sending them back isn't a favourite option, the store is in another city and I only have access to them in weekends :( . Still, if it is a desing "feature" I can try to live with it, it's not that bad, but it feels weird.
Also for people who want to buy them, the frontal headphones port isn't very lound, in order to hear the song at a decent level I have to turn the volum around 30-50% . Earphones Cambridge Audio SE1.
Sounds really natural and nice..
Such a good channel
Great video!
(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?
E3.5 has very nice bass for such a small speaker, but I would advise to go with bigger E4.5 if it is within Your budget. Both have nicely balanced sound, but E4.5 is more natural, neutral and detailed overall.
@@DSAUDIOreview alright, thank you very much!
Очень грамотно сделанное сравнение двух близких по характеристикам моделей мониторов от одного производителя. На мой взгляд, 4.5 явно лучше озвучивают частоты ниже 100Гц, выдают более глубокие и выразительные басы. Но у них явно хуже обстоят дела в месте сшивки частот работы динамиков, около 3000Гц, а средние частоты очень важны для мониторов. Кроме того, я заметил гулкие призвуки (эффект бочки) на частотах примерно 60-120Гц, очень неприятные на слух.
Модель 3.5 лишена этих неприятностей, средние частоты у нее достаточно прозрачны, но басов явно не хватает.
Как владелец 3.5, смотрящий в сторону 4.5 и пытающийся крутить регулятор басов регулярно, хочу отметить, что баса в 3,5 для фонового прослушивания музыки достаточно. Когда крутишь бас в +, то появляется как раз тот самый эффект бочки, неприятно. И в то же время кажется что на 3.5 высокие и средние чуть задраны.
У друга пятые с сабом, они очень близки к 4,5 по характеру. Когда прихожу к нему и слушаю, то после моих 3,5 тоже поначалу кажется что средне-высокого диапазона мало, а когда ушами привыкаешь (2-3 минуты), то кажется что в меру, а 3.5 кажутся пилящими после этого.
I have been in the Audio industry for over 30 years, mostly building High-End listening rooms, The Presonus speaker lineup absolutely shocked me as too how good they are... I have the 3.5's in my studio and so far i am well impressed.. intend to get the larger ones and my son is going to get the 3.5's
What do you think of the 4.5 vs 3.5?
@@mrtechie6810 the 3.5's are amazing for the price and size, well worth the money. It is really amazing how low they can get.. One thing i did notice was the bass on the right is a little more boomy, I am not sure why as both speakers are ported, like to do with the AMP being on the left side. As long as you have them on good stands or foam you won't mind it.
i just upgraded to the E5 XT which arrived yesterday. will take about a week for them to sound right but so far i can definitely tell they need more drive to get them moving :)
One thing to add, use the 1/4 jacks if you can, the 3.5's seem to sound better when i used those over the unbalanced RCA's
Hi, did you buy the e4.5? some say the e4.5 is worth the extra 100$ by far, while others say that they like the e3.5 more... can you tell me which one is better? it's really hard for me to decide when I can't listen to it live and decide by myself. Also, I don't have enogh space for the speakers now, but hopefully I will in the future, so I'm not sure which one to get...
@@Darkred11 I bought the Eris 5XT's, and one of the best moves i made.. Bass is amazing on these speakers... they have very good imaging as well.. recommend them all day every day :)
