Troubleshooting

No sound from speakers

Check that the speakers are plugged in and powered on. Verify that the volume controls on the speakers and your source device are turned up. Ensure correct input sources are selected and cables are securely connected. If using Bluetooth, confirm the device is paired and connected.

Distorted or crackling audio

Lower the volume on both the speakers and the source device. Check for any audio clipping on your source. Ensure cables are not damaged and are fully inserted. If using Bluetooth, try reconnecting the device or moving it closer to the speakers.

Bluetooth connection issues

Ensure the speakers are in Bluetooth pairing mode. Turn off Bluetooth on your source device and turn it back on. Try forgetting the 'PreSonus Eris 5BT' from your device's Bluetooth list and re-pair. Ensure no other devices are actively connected to the speakers.

Humming or buzzing noise
