These are great speakers, bro. Seriously. 95% of your mix should be on these monitors before you verify your low frequency and separation with the big guys. This shit will save your ears and allow you to mix for a LONG TIME. I got mine on sale for $69/pr a couple of years from Bezos shop. Thumbs up on this. Alternatively, you can use this as AURATONE mono speaker alternative. These are BETTER than those.

Finally, a good review video to show the capabilities of these small speakers. I need some reference monitors for mid-high range exactly, since I'm having a PA system that works from 25Hz up to 20KHz, but starting the system every time is not good and can easily kill my ears. :D So, I glad that I found this video. As you mentioned exactly: These are "flat" and not coloring the sound. This is exactly what I need as very small form factor reference speakers. Thanks for this great review! It really helps me to make the final decision.

I own these . You can indeed trust your mixes will translate well to other end user mediums i.e cars, home systems etc..# 2 In a nearfied environment 10 to 15 watts per side is stupid loud , 5 to 7 watts the norm for extensively long mix sessions ( 3 to 5 hrs.) #3 Zero ear fatigue as opposed to NS 10s , KRKs . I still prefer analog recording and vinyl ( yes cassette based) so getting south of 80k or north of 20khz is a non concern for me but if you're making beat heavy music a small sub wouldn't hurt I guess but it's certainly not necessary if your mix skills are good.# 5 the small size is actually an asset IMO , less room to contend with you can get right on top of these puppies and that in conjunction with a good pair of cans and you're golden. I record to a Tascam 424 MK III and I couldn't be more satisfied with my mixes One doesn't need 3 k monitors , 3 k mics, 3 k this 3 k that to make good records. One needs soul

I have purchased Eris E3,5, because I like to make mix and master on a small monitors and last stage at home stereo alike speakers (Edifier 1600 or Tannoy Mercury). And at the first moment, I have had kind of mixed impressions. Highs, and most of the sound picture has been brutally accurate. But woofer has been "booming" (could be due the small membrane, and tunning of bass reflex to 150 Hz). But I took some time to break the speaker from "stiffness" after the manufacturing. Now, a weeks after sound is way better. Laws of fisics does not give chance 3,5 inch woofer and small volume box to reproduce fundamental basses. But after some time with Eris 3,5 you can feel them by sound engineer instinct. Good studio monitors. But time will tell are they durable, as they seem not been design for repair works. That is regarded to pasive piece. My last album was mastered on Eris 3,5.

Oh my god I was wondering why they sounded so boomy in the low end. Strange resonances occur and I thought that something is wrong. It turns out they just are too small to reproduce it and end up sounding awful as if a big sound is caged and fights not to be contained. This is especially apparent when you hear the second and third demos on the 8-inch.
@BenoniStudio2 жыл бұрын
80-100Hz is more audible to the human ear than frequencies below 60 or so. I wouldn't call it awful, it's just the constraints of physics. Remember, most people are listening to your music/podcast on small speakers, laptop speakers, phones, and earbuds - not large format studio monitors. It's always good to make sure your mix will translate to what people actually use.
