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.
