What’s in the Box
Hookup
Each pair of Eris media reference monitors consists of an active (“Left”) and
passive (“Right”) cabinet, and nearly every connection is located on the
active one. This speaker provides audio and power for the passive one. The
exceptions are the bare-wire connectors, which send audio from the active
speaker to the passive speaker.

Note: Always connect the positive and® negative connections on your
active Eris cabinet to the corresponding connections on the passive cabinet.
(i.e., connect positiveto-positive nd negative-to-negative).
Troubleshooting
No Power
Make sure your active Eris is plugged in. If it’s connected to a power strip,
make sure that’s switched on and functioning properly.
No Audio
Make sure the cable connecting your audio source to the monitor is working
correctly. If you’re trying to stream audio from a Bluetooth device
(smartphone, tablet, etc.), make sure it’s paired to the monitors. Also,
verify that the device’s volume control has been turned up.
If the passive speaker is silent, check the bare-wire connections, making sure
the bare wire is fully inserted into each connector.
Hum
This is caused by a ground loop. Make sure all audio equipment is connected to
a properly grounded power source.
Thin Sound
Check the bare-wire connections, and make sure the positive and negative
connections on your active Eris cabinet are connected to the corresponding
connectors on the passive cabinet. (i.e., positive-to-positive and negative-
tonegative).
