2.1.1 Inputs
Line-level Inputs. The Eris E5/E8 provides a choice of
three inputs: two balanced (XLR and ¼” TRS) and one
unbalanced (RCA). These inputs accept a line-level signal
from your audio source and feed that signal to the monitor’s
built-in power amplifiers. These inputs are provided to
allow for flexible connectivity and not for connecting
multiple sources to your speakers simultaneously.
Please connect only one source to your Eris E5/E8.
Power User Tip: If your audio source provides balanced
XLR or ¼” TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) outputs, use one of the
corresponding balanced Eris inputs, since balanced cables
are resistant to induced noise from radio-frequency or
electromagnetic interference (RFI or EMI). If the audio source
has unbalanced ¼” TS (tip-sleeve) outputs, use a ¼”-to-RCA
adapter or adapter cable. Always use the shortest cable
possible to minimize the risk of induced RFI or EMI noise.
Input Gain: Sets the level of the input signal before it is
amplified.
