I plan on adding a Subwoofer to my system, and I'm considering buying one of the Temblor Series Sub. The Question I have is which one best suits my Eris 4.5 Monitors? I know the T10 has higher wattage, deeper bass, and a bypass foot switch, but is it a good match for my Eris 4.5s or is the T8 a better match?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

It kind of depends on the sound you are looking for. The T10 definitely has a lower bass extension. If you do a lot of electronic music production you might like that better to reference really low end/subharmonic frequencies.

I have a pair of Ceres4.5's with a T8 in my house. The Ceres4.5's are basically the same as the Eris4.5 with the addition of BlueTooth. I really like the sound of this set up for the size room I have them in (a small bedroom).

Honestly, I don't think you'll be disappointed either way. Both of the subwoofers sound great. It just depends if you like that super low bass for the style of music you do.

I think Rick hit the nail on the head with this one! Either way, a Temblor sub is going to be an excellent addition to our 4.5 monitors (whether they be Eris or Ceres.) Something to keep in mind: you can dial the T10 back to match the level of the T8; but you won't be able to get a T8 to match the full volume of the T10. You also get a few more connection options with the T10. It just depends on if you want that extra boost on the end and the bypassing footswitch.

i have pretty much played bass most of my life. IMHO, I would never go below a 10" speaker for low end. Anything smaller just doesn't handle it the same way for me. In simple terms, you will never get a 10" speaker, and wish you had gotten an 8".

Thank's everyone

Great feedback! T10's it is....

Awesome! Let us know once you get it!

Hi,
How can I connect Eris 4.5 to T8.
There is no sub connector on Eris 4.5
Kind regards

Connect to the Sub first, then use the L/R outputs to connect to the Eris out of the sub. The crossover knob will determine what frequencies will pass through to the Eris.

On the note of that footswitch on the T10, does bypassing the subwoofer maintain the crossover point, or does it send full range signal to your main studio monitors?

The footswitch will bypass the crossover and send full signal to the attached speakers.
