PreSonus Eris E3.5: www.erinsaudio...
Both speakers are far from neutral which is not something you want out of a studio monitor. While it is true these speakers cost only $100, the response could be much more neutral without costing more. Don't let price always be a scapegoat for poor quality.

Knowing that the manufacturers more than likely donated/lent these speakers to you, I bet they're not thrilled on the review lol. Exactly why I watch your videos. Honest reviews backed with some facts.

@andreagallardodiaz354 2 года назад

I found some Mackie CR3-X which I'd be using for reference while I save for some better monitors, I found them in like new condition for $45! I appreciate you making this comparison and the advice for getting the most flat response from them, I will definitely implement your technique. Thanks so much!

@ivanl.8201 2 года назад

This is very useful, and I think the biggest takeback for me here is that, for us amateur/budget musicians who use a lot of cheap/consumer/budget equipment and just cannot afford those nice 6.5" JBL/KRK/Yamaha bi-amped monitors, the best that we can do for our mixes is to listen to them on as many different monitors, speakers and headphones possible, and to have our friends listen to them on their equipment, too. It's not unlike testing the software code, where one wants to test with a variety of equipment in all kinds of different conditions, so that nothing is really a surprise anymore.

@AuddityHipHop 2 года назад

omg THIS is how you review studio speakers god damn. THANK YOU. every other video is basically just a list of speakers and saying "it sounds good". one question though for anyone who owns the mackie, a lot of reviews mention a hissing sound when no sound is playing through them, does everyone have this issue or do some of yall not have any hissing?

@ErinsAudioCorner 2 года назад

haha. Glad you found it helpful. I can't really talk about the hissing because I just don't remember. Keep in mind that whatever you are using in the chain will be amplified if it has noise. I use the Motu M2 and it is silent. Love that thing.

@wearethehighway5440 2 года назад

This was nice to hear an honest take, everyone raves about the presonus monitors and while they don't sound bad as music multimedia they aren't flat like he says. I ended up trying the edifier ones (the woodgrain variant not the monitors) as a a decent and better sounding multimedia speaker with light music use. None of them are awful as multimedia speakers but like he said not true monitors at those prices . Looking forward to watching the 129 dollar edifier monitor review he has when I get a chance and if there better the. those other 99 dollar ones at least as budget monitors go.

I also almost always wear my headphones for everything. I was comparing the Mackie CR3-X monitors with other things on the market. This video makes me think, for the price and my _real_ needs, the Mackies will do just fine. (I have had a Mackie Micro Series 1202 mixer for over 30 years. I've dragged it all over the place. It still works just fine.) I ordered the MyRokit 5 with your link to B&H and now I'm *SUBSCRIBED!*

Would these kind of speakers fare better if measured on a desktop/near walls for that midrange? The bass is likely to get worse. I owned a pair of passive speakers that had a similar style of response and I could only imagine that they were somehow designed to be placed right up next to a wall in corners etc. Modified the crossover to make it good for traditional hifi placements

@stevenphotog4594 2 года назад

What I learned from this video is that opinions are like lips and aholes....everyone has one. According to this video they are both junk but there are 10 other videos that say the PreSonus is better than the Mackie. I think the idea of these budget monitors are just that, budget monitors. Not everyone has the budget to purchase 1k monitors. I just ordered the Presonus monitors due to every other review claiming they are better than the Mackie. who knows????

@MontyDeane Год назад

I don't know. Im using them in my home studio, but in my headphones, the sound is so much richer, and I don't have to raise my lows, but as soon as I switch over to my Pre-sonis 3.5's the sound is far more tinny and lows are far less. I have to go into my daw to increase my lows on the channels needed, to get a descent sound. These are great! And sound great, but maybe im doing something wrong? Maybe I need a monitor with greater bass response. I want to make sure my mix will sound good on other media players, not just my system. Im using logic pro, scarlett 2i2, dbx 286s, newest mac, pre-sonis 3.5's. I just have to work hard to get the balance needed, on playback. am I doing something wrong?

Yeah, pretty terrible. At least they could make them more or less flat above 500Hz. Certainly one has to have aquired taste the when voicing was done. Just for the hell of it, Erin should measure them on the computer desk, maybe close coupling of the midwoofer driver lifts the midrange up. Still the horrible peak from woofer will dominate. Erin should do next round up in $500 range - just so we an idea how much one has to spend for something that performs decently.

Ten years ago I used two Behringer ms20 or ms40 from a friend and I started to recognize the difference between monitors and colored speakers.

oof those curves are... problematic... I would dissagree with you on companies should stop making small ported bookshelf speakers though. As they can be made to play relatively flat down to 60-70 hz or so with the right drivers and port (you'd probably have to accept some chuffing at higher volumes, but then again if its nearfield and not meant to be played loud then I'd accept that tbh).

What's sad is all the fanboys in the comments waxing his shaft over what a great video it was instead of whether the info in the video was accurate or not. I do so hate the 'aduiofool' community. Before I crap on these too hard though, I have 2 pairs of them. One for my GF for general PC use and a pair for myself I've used as portable monitors. The key to making these usable is using Sonarworks Reference to correct them (and the room). With correction, they are quite usable. But I already had a license for Reference. If anyone is thinking of buying these and buying Reference (or any other DSP) to correct these, you'll be throwing good money after bad money. You'll be into them for $400 when you could have gotten a pair of Kalis. I will add that I've used them for tracking and roughing. I've never completely mixed anything on them exclusively, and never would.

When $100 """monitors"""" are these bad, why even bother creating consumer waste by buying these, when they're clearly quickly destined for the dumpster?

i know brands are just in it for the money, so they wont make any intelligent design choices unless we as consumers make better choices. it should be common knowledge that monitors are tools and they should start at 1000 dollar and never have ports or equivalent design.

This is the only video so far I've seen that are talking down on these monitors. 🤦🏽

Hello Your frequency response graph of the Presonus is very different from the other we see on internet and even mine, it is strange, maybe your presonus are broken

@ErinsAudioCorner 2 года назад

I doubt any of the others are true anechoic measurements. Links?

@xoare3134 2 года назад

@@ErinsAudioCorner well you are right but in fact, the presonus seems to sound pretty flat in a semi tretted room, we are not making music in a anechoic room

Mackie is utter muffled craр. Presonus are decent though, although I lust after Adam 7 and "iLoud Micro" a.k.a. "poor man's Genelec"

The Mackie’s have a ridiculous amount of bass and the bass is muddy

in europe (france) the mackie are 30% more expensive than the presonus, that's not a lot a money but if you buy cheap speakers like this you probably care about this difference

@ErinsAudioCorner 3 года назад

They’re both $100. The BT version costs an extra $30.

What do you mean neither of them are good? you mean to tell us that these dont give you the same sound quality & accuracy as your 1000-3000 $ studio monitors ,WOW mindblowing thanks for that totally didnt know that and blown away by that fact , i didnt know that until today that more xpesnive bigger studio monitors are better LMFAOOO , listen Sir with all due respect but i dont think people who went musical school and are pro's will be looking for studio monitors advice under 100 $ especially on some you tube video , with a chart that 90 % of the people dont even understand , let me tell you what ure dealing with , people on budget either tryina start out or make music for fun & their own ear , and you just go like oh neither of em sound good , but provide affiliate links for both anyway , so ure trying to sell your viewers something that you tell em its not good only b cuz they dont sound as good as your xpesnive a** speakers im impressed by the courrage and contradictory advise presented in your video , just my 2 cents and honest thoughts no hard feelings cheers.

@ErinsAudioCorner 2 года назад

Man, you have a lot of pent up anger it seems. This video isn't meant for people who can afford $1000-3000 monitors. It's meant for people who want to try to to make music but don't have much money at all... and it's meant to tell them to stay away from these. Look at Kali Audio's LP-6V2... $400 and killer speaker. Next time you want to reply with some straight sarcasm, ask yourself if you understand what it is you're replying to. You'd probably save yourself and others a great deal of time. And in your own words: "Just my 2 cents and honest thoughts no hard feelings cheers." 👍

@@ErinsAudioCorner ou defenitally no hard fellings but its funy how easily you can say a certain product sucks when comparing to a product x4 or x10 the price is what i meant to say , its like saying oh gtx 780 sucks you should just buy a 3080 😂🔫 like no sh*t i didnt know that

@ErinsAudioCorner 2 года назад

@@hasanprishtina725 dude, what are you on? The point is these are marketed as monitors and they're the furthest thing from a linear speaker. You gotta chill out, man. It's important that people understand what they are getting because there are *some* speakers out there that don't cost $1000+ and deliver excellent performance. You think you'd understand that. You seem perturbed. I suggest walking away from your phone/computer and taking a chill. Peace.

@@ErinsAudioCorner ure still comparing them to products far from their price range 😂😂, icing on the cake you open up the video with : "neither of em are good" and then ure like hey neither of these are good but if you still want to buy them make sure you do it through the link i provided to support the channel , so im really finding it dificult to consider this review as serious review even with all the info ure covering and providing , and all the details and ure out here giving professional & good opinion , all am saying is that ure doing it injustice expecting them to sound as good as 400+$ monitors and pointem em out as str8 as bad , as from what ure saying & from all other reviews i watched these are really the best in the "you get what you pay for" category , as im planning to go with the presonus 3.5 i would order them from your link but i prefer to buy in physical store over online , in other wordsi am not mad at you like i said ure doing it injustice comparing it to something x4 of their price ✌️
