Connections and Controls

Your Eris E5 BT consists of one active speaker and one passive speaker. Nearly every connection is loc-
ated exclusively on the active speaker. This speaker provides signal and power for the passive speaker.
The exceptions are the bare-wire connectors, which send power and signal from the active speaker to
the passive speaker.

Rear Panel

2.1.1 Inputs

Line-level Inputs. The active speaker provides a choice of two pairs of inputs on the rear-panel: left and
right balanced ¼" TRS and left and right unbalanced RCA. These inputs accept a line-level signal from
an audio source and feed that signal to each monitor's power amplifier. These inputs are provided to
enable flexible connectivity, not for connecting multiple sources to your speakers simultaneously. A third
1/8" stereo input is available on the front
Power User Tip: The left inputs (balanced or unbalanced) send signal to the amplifier that powers the
active speaker; and the right inputs send signal to the amplifier that powers the passive speaker.
PreSonus recommends that the active speaker be placed on the left side of your mixing space and the
passive speaker be placed on the right. However, if you prefer to have the controls located on your
active monitor placed on the right side of your workspace, be sure to reverse the inputs from your
audio source to maintain the correct stereo image.
