The Eris E44/E66 provides a choice of three MIN inputs: two balanced (XLR and ¼” TRS) and one unbalanced (RCA). These inputs accept a line-level signal from your audio U INPUT GAIN source and feed that signal to the monitor’s built-in power LOW MAX CUTOFF amplifiers.

3.1 Monitor Placement 3 Tutorials 3.1 Monitor Placement Ideally, near-field monitors should be placed so that the tweeters are at the same height as your ears when you are mixing. Eris E44 and E66 speakers can be placed vertically or horizontally; when placed vertically, they should form a mirror-image pair, with the tweeters on the outside. When placed horizontally, the tweeters should be on top.
Eris™ Series E44 and E66 Owner’s Manual 60˚ 60˚ The speakers should be separated so that the tweeters form an equilateral triangle with your head. The monitors should be “toed in,” or angled, so that they are pointed at you, not pointed straight ahead. 3.1.1 Badge Rotation 180º range The logo badge on your Eris E44 and E66 can rotated to match their orientation in your studio.

That means the level of the signal reaching the amplifier is the same as the level of the signal entering the monitor’s input. This ensures a good, strong signal level without amplifying any extraneous noise.
Eris™ Series E44 and E66 Owner’s Manual EQ curve. On the other hand, if you want to emulate a cheap portable radio, try turning it up above 0. Try not to boost much, since this can add noise to the signal. The Low Cutoff control rolls off the low frequencies below the specified frequency (80 or 100 Hz). Engage this control if you are using a subwoofer in conjunction with the Eris E44/E66 monitors, and set it to the same frequency as the crossover to the subwoofer.

4.2 Troubleshooting 4.2 Troubleshooting No Power. First ensure that your Eris E44/E66 is plugged in. If it’s connected to a power conditioner, verify that the power conditioner is turned on and functioning. If problem still exists, disconnect the power cable from your E44/E66 and check the fuse on the back panel of your E44/ E66. The fuse housing is located directly beneath the IEC power cable connection. A blown fuse may look black on the inside or the wire inside might appear broken.
