PreSonus E5BT001 E5 BT Bluetooth Media Reference Monitors
What’s in the Box
Thank you for purchasing the PreSonus® Eris® Bluetooth® media reference monitors. Eris E5 BT professional near-field monitors give your home or office the sound of a studio listening environment and provide flexible connection options, professional controls, and the convenience of wirelessly streaming audio from any Bluetooth device.
This Quick Start Guide provides an overview of the Eris E5 BT features, along
with basic setup instructions. However, you can find more in-depth details on
the PreSonus website at
www.PreSonus.com
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 for the passive one. The exceptions are the bare-wire connectors, which send audio from the active speaker to the passive speaker.
Select “ERIS E5 BT” in your device’s Bluetooth options.
You can pair an additional device, by repeating steps 5-8, and this second pairing will be stored along with the first one.
Note: Audio can only be streamed from one Bluetooth device at a time.
Power User Tip: The next time you switch on your Eris monitors, your
stored devices will automatically be paired when powered up.

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-
to-negative).
