Monitors for use in multimedia production studios are manufactured by PreSonus in a number of different types, the E3.5 being the most compact of these. Other versions in the series include the E4.5 and the E5 BT. Both of the PreSonus Eris E3.5 monitors can be placed tidily on the desk, either to the left or right of the screen, as they are the same size as computer speakers. Because of their clear and well-balanced sound, they are excellent choices for usage in confined spaces or on desktops.
The E3.5 monitors are versatile enough to be used either as high-quality computer speakers or as small-scale studio monitors for the production of music. The presence of a volume control is a feature that is commonly seen on computer speakers, although it is not as frequently found on studio monitors. It is a feature that is often appreciated on these displays, particularly if your audio interface does not have one or if it is hidden away in a location that is difficult to access.

Where to get PreSonus Eris E3.5-3.5?
Because the model number includes the number “3.5,” you presumably already know that this number relates to the diameter of the woofer or low-end driver. It was inevitable that the smallest model in the Eris line would have the smallest woofer, and the fact that this model has a 3.5-inch woofer means that the bass output is something that is represented in the technical specifications.
The low-frequency spectrum only extends down to 80Hz in this model. However, given the specifications and the size of the woofer, the low-end response is surprisingly solid and snappy. This is certainly enough to give you a decent feel for what you are mixing, especially when listening in the nearfield. These monitors show more information than you might anticipate, despite the fact that the definition you obtain from larger versions might not be sufficient to hear all of your lows in fine detail.
