Question:	how do these connect to a speaker? do u need to buy separate wires and stuff
Answer:	It comes with RCA cables. But a lot depends on what equipment you’d like to hook up. Do you have an interface, are you just using a laptop, and what speakers are you planning to connect to it. The subwoofer has a crossover and depending on what you like to connect to it you will need the cables to make those connections.

Woofers that deliver a cleaner overall sound.

Every Eris-series studio monitor utilizes a woven composite, low-frequency driver. The weave and nature of the Eris E3.5’s 3.5-inch woofer result in a more constant dispersion pattern throughout the frequency range, resulting in less time-smeared audio and cleaner overall sound.

Smooth high end and wide sweet spot.

The Eris E3.5 is equipped with a one-inch silk-dome tweeter that produces a smooth and refined sound, accurately reproducing transients and high frequencies. The tweeter is designed to radiate sound with a fairly wide dispersion pattern, creating a large optimal listening area or “sweet spot” so you can move around and still hear everything accurately.

Connect to virtually any line-level source.

With three different types of audio inputs, it’s easy to feed audio to your Eris monitors from a mixer, an interface, a media player, or almost any other line-level source. The Eris E3.5 is equipped with rear-panel, ¼-inch TRS and RCA inputs, as well as front-panel ⅛-inch stereo, unbalanced line inputs for use with mobile audio devices. With this selection, you’ll have no problem hooking your Eris speakers up with virtually any line-level source, including your smartphone or tablet. The loud, clear, front-panel headphone amplifier lets you work and play in stealth mode, without disturbing your housemates.

Accuracy defined.

Like all PreSonus monitor speakers, the Eris E3.5 offers consistent, accurate listening, with the smooth and even frequency response that has made Eris monitors popular around the world. Their compact and powerful design makes them an ideal solution for any small space.

Want extra-deep low end? Pair compact Eris E3.5s with PreSonus’ powerful Temblor T8 active subwoofer for a truly full-range sound system that fits almost anywhere.

User questions & answers

Question:	What stereo jacks do I need to get to connect to my iPhone
Answer:	If you're going straight into the speakers from your iPhone you need a 1/8" stereo plug the splits to 2 1/4" plugs :)
Question:	How much easier will it be to mix with a pair of these over cheaper monitors (M-Audio BX5) considering a really crappy mixing room environment
Answer:	The same $700 will go a long ways towards acoustic treatment for your room. If the frequency response in your room is skewed, the finest monitors in the world won't be of much use to you. Treat the low frequency response of your room, then address any flutter/echo/slap-back issues in the mid and hi frequency range. Then, consider upgrading monitors. That being said, I love my HS80Ms, and they are a definite step above the M-Audio BX5.
Question:	Can these plugeed in your desktop computer
Answer:	The speaker has 1/4" TRS and inputs. You can use either of it to send the audio signal to each speaker. I have an audio interface (plugged into my computer via USB) and I use 1/4" TRS cables from the audio interface to the speakers.
Question:	Is the price for two monitors or for one
Answer:	Description clearly says "This bundle includes (2) Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitors".

Yamaha HS Series Monitors

Ever since the 1970's the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha's nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason - their accuracy. Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process.

By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha's speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The second generation HS Series also adds a new 6.5" model to the lineup, bringing its exceptional accuracy to an even greater variety of recording environments.

Newly Developed Transducers

The HS Series features newly developed transducers that achieve astonishingly smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth. These transducers utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions.

High Performance Amp Unit

HS Series speakers employ an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized in each model of the series. Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that each HS Series speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum.

Controls and Connectivity

HS Series full-range models feature two response controls with detailed settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. For inputs, HS full-range speakers can accommodate a wide range of balanced and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone jacks.

Low Resonance Enclosure Design

HS Series cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures are constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors.

Cutting Edge Noise Reduction

Speaker port design can greatly influence the clarity of overall sound. Often a vortex at the either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside of the port, causing unwanted noise. By adopting an advanced noise reduction technology that incorporates a thorough analysis of a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex.

New HS Install Versions

The new installation version of the renown Yamaha HS Studio Monitors include mounting points and screws for installation. Compatible with wall, ceiling, and baton brackets (sold separately.

Answer:	It appears to be that the single monitor is directing towards the Amazon renewed store. So currently the single monitor is not being listed as new but is used and refurbished, hence the lower price.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have the ddj sb3, what cord should i use to connect them
Answer:	I’d use TRS or XLR cables. Looks like your equipment uses red and white aux cords
Question:	Does a female xlr cord go into this
Answer:	As the photo on the product page shows, you would plug the male end of an XLR cable into the monitor for balanced operation. The monitors follow the standard practice of having female XLR connectors as inputs, just as you would find on mixing boards and other studio equipment. Outputs generally have male XLR connectors. To accomodate this, standard XLR cables have a male connector on one end and a female one on the other. An unusual arrangement, should you ever encounter one, would require a non-standard cable or a gender-changing adapter.
Question:	Is this the G
Answer:	No
Question:	Is this the price for just ONE of these
Answer:	Yes. Just ONE. I thought it was for two, but no...just one.

Time-tested Technology

Alesis has been creating studio monitors for a considerable amount of time. In that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about maximizing sound and sonic clarity. Built using technology adopted from Alesis Monitor One and M1Active professional studio monitors, Elevate 5 studio speakers are the perfect way to upgrade your computer or mobile device experience. Elevate 5 speakers leverage Alesis’ experience in designing studio loudspeakers by employing custom designed wood cabinets that stay natural and neutral, regardless of the frequency content or volume.

A pair of rugged RCA jacks and a pair of 1/4" TRS jacks are onboard, perfect for connecting mixers, interfaces, and virtually any other piece of audio gear.

• JBL 305P MkII active studio monitors are a great nearfield solution for any serious audio engineer or music producer. They're great for mixing music in your DAW software, editing video, or any other task that requires monitoring accuracy
• BL designed the 305P MkII with advanced features acquired from their 7 Series and M2 Master Reference Monitor, making legendary JBL performance accessible to every studio. JBL's innovative Image Control Waveguide works in concert with refined transducers to deliver a well-defined and incredibly dimensional stereo image
• When you can clearly hear everything in your mix, you make accurate sonic judgments — which leads to better-sounding recordings. To that end, JBL applied innovative elements from their 7 Series and M2 Master Reference Monitors to give the 305P MkII truly impressive sound reproduction capabilities. The Image Control Waveguide design is one such feature, and it helps the 305P MkII present a deep, detailed soundstage and a wide, room-friendly sweet spot.
• Wide sweet spot equals a better studio experience - we know you don't spend every second of your studio time in the ideal mixing position. JBL 305P MkII monitors have a broad sweet spot, which means there's less variation in what you hear when you're not in the perfect position. Especially if you have clients in the room, you want consistent sound throughout your studio, and you'll like what you hear from the 305P MkII.
• Checking your mix at low volume levels is a great way to confirm your overall balances, but many monitors will suffer in the bass regions when monitoring at low levels. The JBL 305P MkII uses JBL's patented Slip Stream low-frequency port for accurate bass response at low playback levels. The double-flared port shape also reduces the turbulence some ported designs suffer from, meaning that bass response remains pure when you turn the 305P MkII back up
