description PreSonus Eris E3.5 XT Overview
This is the absolute entry point from the Eris line. The E3.5 XT is perfect for users who need monitoring capability but have virtually no desk space. It sacrifices low-end depth for extreme portability and simplicity. It serves as a reliable, if limited, starting point for those just dipping their toes into audio production.
help PreSonus Eris E3.5 XT FAQ
Are the PreSonus Eris E3.5 XT speakers good for mixing?
They're usable for very rough mixes and content creation, but the 3.5-inch woofer means limited low-end depth, which is the honest constraint of any speaker this size. They're best treated as an entry point that you later pair with a subwoofer or upgrade to the larger Eris E5 XT or E8 XT.
Do the Eris E3.5 XT monitors need an audio interface?
No, they're active powered monitors with built-in amplification, and they include consumer-friendly inputs like RCA and a 3.5 mm aux, so you can plug them straight into a laptop or phone. An interface or audio interface's balanced outputs will give a cleaner signal, but it's optional.
What's the difference between the Eris E3.5 and the E3.5 XT?
The XT is an updated version of the popular E3.5, with PreSonus revising the tweeter waveguide and voicing to extend the frequency response, particularly in the lows. The core formula, a 3.5-inch woofer with 1-inch silk-dome tweeter per side, stays the same.
Do the Eris E3.5 XT speakers have a headphone jack?
Yes, there's a front-panel headphone output that conveniently mutes the speakers when you plug in. Combined with the front aux input, that makes them a flexible little desktop pair for tight workspaces.
