Good video. Here's the best tip you will ever get for people on a budget. Put some studio foam behind your video and audio monitors. It's called a "live end dead end" design. Then you will not have to go around the room looking through a mirrow so you know where to put studio foam. Live end dead end designs work very well because when the sound hits the wall behind you and comes back it dies right behind your setup and doesn't reflect off the wall and join in with the sound coming out of your monitors. I could go into reverent fields, standing waves, etc. but I'm trying to help the budget mided engineers. Concerning the monitors. I purchased two sets of these for my daughters room and they thunder for their size. When placed right they sound like there's a small sub in the room. They are perfect for studio engineers of all levels. Even though I'm running three sets of monitors, Adam, Fostex, and Yahama, with subs on the Adams and Fostex monitors, I'm going to buy a set of these so I can hear a mix through speakers the size of most cars and home sound systems. If you're just starting out he's right, don't think about it, buy them. Right now 7/14/23 PreSonus is selling them in the US for $89.99 (pair) and they're including the Prime version of Studio One 6 and a free $1000.00 worth of production software. Go check it out on their site and have fun mixing it up!

My ERIS monitors are hooked up and ready to go now. THANKS!

[SlyPstmn]

Thank you for making this. Just took delivery of some of these yesterday, and was really scratching my head. Great video, and gives me confidence to set these up now!

I see these are bundled with a subwoofer online, … how to you connect the subwoofer ?? Through the 1/4 on the back of the 3.5??? Then the speakers out of the subwoofer ?? And then the volume would control everything. ?
