PreSonus Eris 5BT 5.25-inch Media Reference Monitors / Bluetooth 5.0 / 100W Class D (Pair)

Description

The Eris 5BT 2nd Gen are compact 2-way active media reference monitors engineered to deliver accurate audio reproduction in small control rooms, home studios, and multimedia setups. These monitors combine a 5.25-inch woven-composite woofer and a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter to produce a balanced frequency response from bass to treble. The pair is designed to provide clear imaging and consistent monitoring at nearfield listening distances.

Key features include Bluetooth 5.0 wireless input, Class D dual amplification rated at 100W total, and adjustable acoustic tuning for high and low frequencies. The silk-dome tweeter offers extended high-frequency detail while the woven woofer provides tight and controlled low end. Improved voicing and a smooth crossover deliver accurate transient response and reduced listening fatigue.

Performance specifications include a frequency response of 55 Hz to 20 kHz and a peak SPL of 104 dB at 1 meter. The monitors incorporate protections for RF interference, output-current limiting, over-temperature, turn-on/off transients, and a subsonic filter. A power saver mode powers down the system after 40 minutes of inactivity to conserve energy.

Connectivity options include stereo Bluetooth 5.0, balanced 1/4-inch TRS inputs, unbalanced RCA inputs, and a front-panel 1/8-inch stereo input for quick connections. An integrated front-panel headphone amplifier mutes the speakers when headphones are connected for private listening and critical checking. Multiple input types make it straightforward to integrate the Eris 5BT pair with audio interfaces, mixers, consumer devices, and gaming systems.

These monitors are well suited to project studios, video editing desks, and desktop music production where space is limited but accurate monitoring is required. Their even response and acoustic tuning controls let users compensate for room anomalies without undue coloration of the source material. Pairing the monitors with an Eris Sub 8BT enables a matched 2.1 system for extended low-frequency performance where needed.

Installation and day-to-day use are simple thanks to user controls on the rear panel and a front-panel level and headphone jack. The cabinets use vinyl-laminated MDF for consistent resonance characteristics and durable finish. Overall, the Eris 5BT 2nd Gen delivers studio-quality monitoring in a compact, easy-to-integrate package that balances accuracy, connectivity, and convenience.
