## Description

Product Description The single best subwoofer you can get to put a little boom in your room, the Eris Sub8 is the first subwoofer to join the lauded and best-selling Eris studio monitor line. We called it Eris because it’s been designed from the ground up to be part of the family; it compliments the voicing and frequency response of the modern Eris classics The surprisingly loud 100-Watt Eris Sub8 drops down to a molar-rattling 30Hz, allowing you to both rock harder and produce better mixes, as you’ll be hearing an accurate representation of your work. Thanks to robust configuration and I/O, you’ll be able to tailor your Eris Sub8 configuration exactly to your mixing and listening needs. You can connect your existing monitors via ¼” TRS or RCA, set the input level to your liking, and even invert the polarity. Most importantly, you get a High Pass Filter and a Low Pass Crossover control that ensures your Sub8 starts working at the precise low-frequency point where your main monitors stop working. This makes sure you avoid the flubbery, smudged, low-end mess that one hears in redundant, duplicate, redundant bass reproduction that occurs without a crossover.

Review: This is just two funny! - This is just two funny equates to this, if You really want to have some fun listening to some good music, simply get two of these subwoofers. One of these subs will enhance Your music on the low end, but two, and You will feel the bass. Two subs actually fill out the room better and equally across Your listening area. Less volume is needed when using two of these subs equating to less distortion at higher volumes. Typically, people usually blow out one (their ONLY) sub by overdriving it constantly, which eventually leads to amp failure (sooner as opposed to later, if at all.) 50 watts continuous music may NOT sound like a lot of music, but it truly is, if it is clean and not distorted. Two subs and now You're talking about a 100 continuous wattage of music. I say continuous because I would not and do not play any of My speakers to achieve peak wattage, which is just that, peak wattage. Peak wattage can be damaging to speakers especially if the sound is distorted. I have these subs paired with My Klipsch "The Fives" and I Am over the top with the low-end reproduction of music. Tight, clean, precise, rich, full and low bottom end. Metallica, Aretha Frankin, Fleetwood Mac, Mandrill, The Ohio Players, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire all sound full and rich. I play Khelani (Toxic), The Gap Band (Yearning for Your Love) and/or Nipsey Hustle and the music is clear, precise and low in frequencies. My Genres are old school R&B/Real Rap Music (80's early 90's), Blues, Rock, Funk, Jazz and a lil Country to round it out. Elevator and classical music are NO-GO'S, and I don't want to hear about females being degraded, drugs or violence being falsely disguised as music. Real music involves real musical instruments that are played by real and artful musicians that have meaning and positive purposes. I love to hear musicians finger slide across and pick their guitar strings. And please do NOT forget the brass sections and woodwinds either! For example, Metallica's Unforgiven, most people focus on the lead and rhythm guitars, but in ALL SERIOUSNESS, the drummer is VERY key in this song. The drummer is the timing and rhythm keeper in this song for sure. And a good sub will help You to see this also, kick-drum, snare, cymbals, crashing, punching, beating, rhythm! I want to hear it all in detail and with clarity! These subs do a great job in infusing music with depth and fullness; and warmth when needed. All they need are the complementing mid and high frequencies and it's game on! If You use two of these, they together can fill an averaged sized large room easily. My Klipsch "The Fives" and My ProSonus Eris Sub 8's do NOT compare to My Klipsch RF-7 II 7.2 set-up, NOR were they designed to. However, it does come very close to replicating the sounds that I get from My main sound system, and it is that sound that I was trying to achieve. Secondly, My left and right channels individually sound as one speaker (one sub/one of The Fives.) I set the gain on both subs to 50%, and from there I worked backwards in the direction of 0% using the sub volume control on The Fives remote control to make the subs function solely as an extension of the speaker in the low-end area. From this point, the master volume control is the only volume control needed for everyday playback. The crossover is set to 80hz. I use NO equalization, simply flat setting. I do NOT have to make any adjustments to My subs when playing music across different genres. When You have ONLY ONE sub out, You must buy a Y splitter containing one male end to plug in the single sub out jack and two female ends on the V side of the Y. I then purchased a Y split sub cable, all three ends male. This Y cable plugs into the left and right channels on the back of the sub (You can also use a single sub cable for each sub, but it must be plugged into the L or LFE input on the back of the sub.) I have both subs' settings identical, or You can adjust them individually according to Your listening preference and room environment (acoustics.) For Me, these subs were ideal. Also, I always use dual subs at home because of their inherent better listening acoustic across the whole of the listening area. Sure, I could have purchased a more power speaker with a higher output wattage, but even then, one more expensive sub does not sound a good a two less expensive, but good subs. In essence, two for the price of one, taking down two birds with one stone. Trust Me, had I purchased the more expensive single sub, at some point, I would simply purchase a second one to achieve the same results (balanced bass response across the entire room, as opposed to one half or corner of the listening area. Klipsch "The Fives" have a 4" driver that is responsible for both bass and midrange frequencies. As a result, because of its dual role and cone diameter, they are limited on the low-end frequencies reproduction, though they CAN reach deep on the higher end of low-end frequencies. Adding a sub or two (recommended) allows the bass drivers to focus more on the midrange and upper end bass frequencies for bass tightness and brighter midrange. The subs are responsible for bringing to life those low-end frequencies that We so desire. The bass port is front firing, so placement against a wall is NOT a factor, but room corners and speaker placement are still in play! I would recommend these subs if You love great sounding music, but don't necessarily want to break the bank in the process. Should anything change or the subs fail for some reason, I will post an update. Right now, the subs are a 5-star IMO. I use them for music ONLY, so I do not know how they perform in a theater environment or for those purposes.
Review: Eris sub 8 - great for home theater and home musician - I literally just got the Eris Sub 8. I plugged it into my sound bar from the sub out. It makes a massive difference. Just that simple set up has produced house shaking bass. I even had to turn it down. This is not really meant to be a home theater sub but it works really great. I got this one as it was the most fully featured sub for the money and I'm not a music producer. I just wanted something to complement my soundbar. If you are going to use this with Eris 3.5 (or above) monitors in a home studio setting I think you will be more than satisfied. If you are a very serious music producer...well you probably won't be buying this sub anyway. To my ears it packs more than enough punch especially given the price. For the home musician I think this will be more than enough to get a relatively accurate idea of your bass in the mix. I'm no expert though. I mix with headphones...gasp! If this unit breaks or has any other defect I'll modify this review. Right now it is blowing my mind.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with all the necessary cords to connect this to a computer? Is it rca trs or xlr?**
A: It depends on which speakers you order. The 3.5 and 4.5 come with everything necessary, but the 5 and higher definitely do not come with everything you need. Just the speaker and AC adapter.

**Q: Is the the Presonus E3.5 woofer speaker cone unprotected?  It appears to have no fabric covering as many speakers would have.**
A: Take a piece of t-shirt and bring it back and forth between your face and the monitors.. you will hear that even something like a tshirt of pantyhose, has a considerable effect on the sound projection. Also, having grills on the speaker looks cheap imo..

**Q: I am a Motivational Speaker, can I use these with a microphone when speaking to an audience of 75 people?**
A: There are better choices for that -- you want speakers with a built-in mic preamp, and probably higher wattage amplifiers. You may also want folding speaker tripods.
I suggest you puchase speakers designed for this, with a tripod screw hole on the bottom, and XLR mic inputs. For example, Bose EONS sound amazing for music as well.
You may also wish to purchase a good wireless mic.
Think of it as a system.
The size of the room and the audience determine the required size and power of speakers.

**Q: Do the Eris 4.5 mute themselves when a headphone is connected?**
A: Ideally they should, unless you’re using the Presonus Audiobox (or any other audio interface) and you connect headphones to that. In which case, they won’t mute.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get that DEEP bass with clarity!!!
*by A***5 on December 5, 2023*

Don't let it's size fool you, this sub DELIVERS! I'm using this in a 1.5 bedroom apartment plugged into my Focusrite 2i2 3rd Gen Audio Interface with TRS cables and it's absolutely crystal clear! It's tunable to exactly how much bass response you want and balances perfectly with my 5" Studio Monitors. Took about 10 minutes to connect and tune correctly. Absolutely recommend this to anyone who has a medium to small studio or room, it will fill it with sound! Even if you have a large room, you'll likely have enough to work with right here. I was worried thinking I might need a 10" sub but I'm so happy I went with this 8". I'm pretty much on all of the lowest settings with plenty of room left in the volume, etc. A 10" would have been major overkill and a total waste of money. There IS a reason this is highest rated sub on Amazon in it's class!
