Overview:
The Eris E5 Two-Way Active 5.25" Studio Monitor from PreSonus delivers an accurate response with tight bass and a clear upper end. The Kevlar low frequency transducers, low-mass silk-dome tweeters and responsive Class AB amplification combine with acoustic-adjustment controls to create a versatile and adaptable listening system .
- The PRESONUS ERIS E5 begins with a front-ported enclosure made of vinyl-laminated MDF. It features a 5.25" Kevlar low-frequency driver mated with a 45W, Class AB amplifier. For the highs, Eris employs a 1" silk-dome tweeter powered by a 35W, Class AB amplifier. The E5 outputs a clean 102 dB peak SPL. Its frequency response is rated at 64Hz to 22kHz.
- The PRESONUS Eris E5 provides a balanced XLR, a balanced ¼" TRS, and an unbalanced RCA line-level input. Once you're plugged in, set the Input Gain and you're ready to go!
Features:
Acoustic Tuning Controls
- The Eris provides three EQ controls in its Acoustic Tuning section: High, Mid, and Low Cutoff. These controls enable you to fine-tune the monitors to your space. The Low control also is useful when using the E5 with a subwoofer.
- The High control is a shelving filter that boosts or cuts all frequencies above 4.5kHz by as much as 6dB. The Mid control is a mid-frequency peak filter that boosts or cuts frequencies centered at 1kHz and extending about one octave above and below that frequency. The Low Cutoff control rolls off frequencies below either 80 or 100Hz at a slope of 12dB/octave. This control is especially useful if you also have a connected subwoofer.
Acoustic Space Control
- A three-position Acoustic Space switch controls a second-order, low shelving filter that cuts frequencies below 800 Hz by either 2 or 4dB to compensate for the boundary bass boost that occurs in close proximity to walls or corners.
Thorough Protection Circuitry
- RF shielding protects against radio frequencies that could be introduced to the signal and become audible. Eris monitors also provide overheat protection, current-output limiting and subsonic protection. "Soft startup" amplifiers prevent damaging pops from sounding through the speakers when you power them up.

Inputs:
- Line-level Inputs. The Eris E5 provides a choice of three inputs: two balanced (XLR and ¼” TRS) and one unbalanced (RCA). These inputs accept a line-level signal from your audio source and feed that signal to the monitor’s built-in power amplifiers. These inputs are provided to allow for flexible connectivity and not for connecting multiple sources to your speakers simultaneously
- Input Gain: Sets the level of the input signal before it is amplified.
Acoustic Tuning Controls:
- High: Boosts or cuts all frequencies above 4.5 kHz by ±6 dB.
- Mid: Boosts or cuts frequencies around 1 kHz by ±6 dB.
- Low Cutoff: Rolls off the level of all frequencies below the specified frequency (80 or 100 Hz) at a slope of -12 dB/octave. Can be defeated by setting it to Flat, in which case, the monitor’s natural rolloff takes over.
- Acoustic Space: Cuts the level of all frequencies below 800 Hz by the specified amount (-2 or -4 dB) to compensate for the bass boost that occurs when the monitor is placed near a wall or corner. Can be defeated by setting it to 0 dB.
Power:
- IEC Power Connection: Your Eris E5 accepts a standard IEC power cord
- Power Switch. This is the On/Off switch. The power status is indicated by an LED on the front of the cabinet
- AC Select Switch. The input-power voltage is set at the factory to correspond with the country in which it was shipped. Use this switch only if you are using your Eris speakers in a country that uses a different standard voltage than is used in the country where you purchased your Eris E5
