This sub is actually designed to be part of a desktop monitoring system. One thing that it does not have that most home theaters subwoofers have that it needs to have to be used in this capacity is a power setting so it goes in standby
The low pass adjustment on this sub still functions when the high pass to the main speakers is engaged. that is to say it is always adjustable, I own this and I just double checked. This sub is accurate and smooth paired with my Yamaha HS 5 's in a 13x10x8 untreated room and I never turn it up past a quarter gain. I just tried stuffing the port with a t shirt and It got even smoother and tighter. I use it for mixing not bass heavy music but if I turn it up it gets way too loud quick if I want it to. I cannot afford the matching yamaha HS series sub and at this price point I think this is the way to go as I dont trust mackie or behringer. If u dont trust amazon reviews this presonus has good reviews on sweetwater.
Yeah, I bought one of these, along with a pair of the Eris 3.5 speakers on my local Facebook for $120 maybe a year ago. I didn't love the 'monitors' so I sold them off but I've got to say, the sub is pretty decent for the price and size. Not overly boomy and I've got them dialed in with a pair of Adam T5V monitors. This system is for evaluating music, but it's in a fairly small bedroom office that's about 10x14. Obviously this isn't a party rig but can play louder than my needs. The speakers were $300 for the pair and I have about $70 in the sub. Even at the current new prices of $400 + $200 I'd say within their volume constraints, they are a very decent choice for someone wanting a fairly neutral small system. These last couple months, I've actually had a pair of the Swan OS-10 speakers in that system. Much smaller and obviously the tweeters don't compare to the ribbons in the Adams but still not bad... not bad. I'd say if you had something like the OS-10s (very decent quality, but only a 4" woofer) adding a sub where you can filter out the bass from the signal from those speakers is going to make a tremendous difference vs just running them full range.
So I just went to Amazon Canada, 299 and almost all the reviews for this sub are for the monitors, not the sub. Amazon is bad for that, lumping all of a brands reviews in with every product. So I'm calling bs on this from the get-go.
I just purchased the Eris sub8BT and I will say it's a more than wonderful addition to my 2 new BOSE S1 pro plus... Although They don't "need subs" I never want to get close to abusing my beautiful BOSE babies😢...... and they also look like they were made for each other sleek and sheer Minimalistic, and Uniquely Powerful! . The bass is tight, smooth and agile... I was torn between this and some kinda Rockville mdf wood speaker but reviews said too much about Buzzing... just like the 3.5 satellites to this sub say in it's reviews. My s1pro+ goes below 20hz , like 17.5hz and these just put really nice amounts of chocolatey, thick, rich, bass. My girlfriend fell in love immediately listening in the front yard. I would definitely attempt a small gig at a cafe or Bar/Club room. Whole set up is BT weighing about 45 lbs.! Not sure if I should get another or get something "Rockville " as a Backup's Back up🤔🤪😁
I didn't see this sub on amazon after looking at maybe 100 subs and still didn't know what to choose untill i searched YT for a sub to pair with bose s1 pro
in mine setup(zen air,presonus 5 xt,sub 8)it can't go up more than 1/4 of the gain way!! if I start the gain volume up more than 1/4, it plays very loud and squeaks. the set certainly plays very well without a problem, but I think that the sub gain is very low
I have an old Sony subwoofer- Active, which has only one input.. And on my kind of older AV Receiver - Onkyo TX-NR616, there are two subwoofer Pre-Out RCA jacks... So the connection was simple,... Just connect one pre Out Subwoofer on the receiver to the speaker. Stupid question: How would I connect my AV Receiver to this subwoofer? Please show us in the next video, if possible.
Best value for subs on the market right now is still the Monoprice 12" sub currently going for $130. Couple of those and the dayton audio DSP for subs and your set!
@@Kpaceguy could be wrong but I thought you said something about “the infamous SVS” at the beginning of the video. So I was wondering what that shot was about, but if I heard it right then maybe it was just a slip of the tongue since it sounds like it wasn’t intentional.
Maybe as a pair, maybe, or (like I have) as a "fill sub", combined with something else that handles the 20-30Hz range? (I have a little 8 inch next to my chair, and a 12 inch for room fill). I'm also in a freestanding house, pretty sure that my 8+12 would *not* be suitable for any kind of shared walls/floor living, so maybe that's part of the product suitability/ratings as well, getting *enough* bass for a small space, but not so much that the neighbors get involved. Waiting to see what you think!
this is a joke right? I doubt anyone serious about home theater is gonna go for a peak 100 watt subwoofer. Especially if it doesn't have XLR inputs. Also, Amazon reviews are 98% based on the stereo monitor speakers (E3.5 Pair) not the subwoofer.
This sub is meant for a computer, probably quite good for a budget music production setup. Not sure why XLR matter though, balanced TRS is equivalent so you can just get a different cable.
I think you confused BEST for the most bought and even then when you click on the number 1 it brings up the studio monitors not the sub.. Regurgitating this as the best when it's a sub that can't play below 30hz, and yet you want to clown on Klipsch in your previous video for not playing below 20hz.. 🤡 You lost all credibility, how much did PreSonus pay you to make this video??
@@Kpaceguy your Rythmik Audio G25HP is great for what it does. Why get more. I would be economical and do subwoofer crawl, find best place. The end of the story. 9.1.4 max. That is studio subwoofer, not ht subwoofer. You need eqed unit not a flat unit. Your Rythmik unit is too eqed to sound good. 👍
@Jose Fernandes I'm not keeping this sub or replacing any of mine. I'm just Simply making a fun video to see if this sub is actually 5 stars. That's it
@@Kpaceguy well, bro.. how far from walls should I keep my F18 to get flat frequency response? My motive is pure blending between mains and sub. At moment, I have kept it 6 inches away from wall.

Most of the ratings on Amazon are about the Presonus E3.5 studio monitors, not the sub...
Nice sub for the size and can be used as a micro sub for your 2 channel setup. Also Merry Christmas to all of you who believe.
Thank you my friend

What the brand of the white towers in the background?
I'm looking at some videos about the Polk r700 atm, do you have any review on them?
Fine speakers. I have a pair of R 200s . Those are Kefs reference I believe and about 4 k
No but I would love to review them. They're amazing

Hola saludos te pregunto crees que le valla bien si lo pongo como pareja de un Bosé pro 1 ?
Creo que no. El bajo es para un sistema de monitores y no para un sistema de amplificación.

@FeedScrn Same to you my friend
Interesting connections.
Best value for subs on the market right now is still the Monoprice 12" sub currently going for $130. Couple of those and the dayton audio DSP for subs and your set!
dayton audio DSP is 260 usd...
can it handle the bass in a rehearsal room with drums?
Yes but don't expect it to be loud
Crown Royal peach 🔥🔥🔥🔥
For 199 i purchase Monoprice SW-15 15" subwoofer
Meh. I don't put much stock into audio reviews on Amazon. Heck, they rate Bose as best in class. Interesting video, though.
BOSE is 💯 !
A lot of pudding hurt in these comments, thanks for the vid and the info man
You bet
Specs say 113dB. Did you see that kind of volume?
113db is at a certain frequency. I didn't specifically test to find that frequency but I'm sure it's in the 40 or 50hz range
I gotta ask what that shot at SVS was about?
I don't know what you're talking about
@@Kpaceguy could be wrong but I thought you said something about “the infamous SVS” at the beginning of the video. So I was wondering what that shot was about, but if I heard it right then maybe it was just a slip of the tongue since it sounds like it wasn’t intentional.
@Daniel Wander it was intentional but it wasn't a shot. I've has svs subwoofers for 6 yrs before switching to something else.
This is not a sub for a home theater 😵💫. This is for a small monitor system.
"The best subwoofer .............for Eris monitors."
This is as per the sub's website page. So, the heading of this video is incomplete.
Maybe as a pair, maybe, or (like I have) as a "fill sub", combined with something else that handles the 20-30Hz range? (I have a little 8 inch next to my chair, and a 12 inch for room fill).

Waiting to see what you think!
It goes down to a "molar-rattling" 30hz 🙄
🤣
I saw that too, sounds like somebody needs better dental care. :)
Well I'm gonna have to look at Amazon lol
Bro you gota live in a deaf apartment building like everyone sign language.
The deaf can still feel the vibrations.
@@Roof_Pizza o for sure

I doubt anyone into home theatre know what XLR is 🤣 by the way TRS and XLR are both balanced inputs it makes no difference.
Clickbait getting everyone 🤣😂
Is this a joke? 15lb 100 watt sub???
Evidently it's very highly rated.
@@FeedScrn it's a toy subwoofer
