Can the input gain knob on the PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 be set to optimize the output level specifically for use with PreSonus Eris 3.5 2nd Gen monitors, or do I need to adjust the monitors' volume knob as well to achieve the best signal-to-noise ratio?

To achieve the best signal-to-noise ratio with your PreSonus Eris 3.5 2nd Gen monitors when using the AudioBox USB 96, it's best to set the input gain knob on your interface so that your audio signal is loud but not distorting. Then, adjust the volume knob on the Eris 3.5 monitors to reach your preferred listening level. Both controls are important: the interface gain sets the input level, while the monitor volume sets your actual output level. Adjusting both helps ensure clear and balanced sound with minimal noise.

Can I connect the PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 directly to the PreSonus Eris 3.5 2nd Gen monitors using balanced TRS cables, and will I get a noticeable improvement in noise floor compared to using the unbalanced RCA inputs?

Yes, you can connect the PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 directly to the PreSonus Eris 3.5 2nd Gen monitors using balanced TRS cables, as the monitors have balanced TRS inputs. Using balanced TRS connections typically provides better noise rejection and should give you a lower noise floor compared to the unbalanced RCA inputs. This means you'll likely experience cleaner audio with less interference.

This is an automatic translation by software: is it better to buy bluetooth boxes or cables? thank you

Good morning, Thank you for your question! For studio monitors like Presonus Eris 3.5 (2nd Gen) is generally better to use a wired connection , especially if it is important to you: 🎧 Sound quality – the wired connection is stable and compression-free, which is ideal for accurate listening and working with audio. ⚡ Response without delay – Bluetooth connections can have a slight delay, which is not ideal when watching video or working in a DAW. Bluetooth is certainly convenient for casual listening, but if you plan to use the monitors for more serious audio work (mixing, mastering, music production), we recommend a wired connection (e.g. TRS or RCA). With friendly greetings, Team Muziker

This is an automatic translation by software: How to connect to a TV

The PreSonus Eris 3.5 2nd Gen active studio monitors can be connected to your TV in several ways, depending on the type of audio outputs available on your TV: RCA output : If your TV has RCA outputs (red and white), you can use an RCA cable to connect your TV to the monitors' RCA inputs. Headphone output (3.5 mm) : If your TV has a headphone output, you can use a 3.5 mm TRS (jack) to RCA stereo cable to connect your TV to your monitors. Bluetooth : If you have the Bluetooth model (Eris 3.5BT), you can connect your TV wirelessly, if it supports Bluetooth. Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) : If your TV only has digital outputs (optical or HDMI ARC), you will need a DAC converter to convert the digital signal to analog, compatible with the monitor inputs.
