Also, these things are incredible. - To clarify, I'm not a professional sound technician, nor do I claim to be well-versed in hi-fi sound setups. I'm just an independent filmmaker who needs these speakers for editing and viewing my films (and also to listen to my vinyl. Yeah, yeah call me a hipster. Whatever.) I had read a few reviews for Presonus's Ceres line of speakers, and just from those, I knew they were the ones for me. I was worried about the amplifier hum that so many people seemed to encounter, but I took the plunge anyway. The sound quality that people were talking about seemed to outweigh that potential pitfall. I ordered my 4.5 BT set two days ago (at the time of this review) and they arrived this afternoon. The box was in perfect condition--no scratches or tears. Upon opening the box, you're greated with a nicely organized and extremely well put together product. There's the normal warranty/product info pamphlet, instructions, and in this case, a really neat letter welcoming you to the Presonus family. As far as box openings go, I was really surprised at how far Presonus went to prepare and ship the product, and then to top it off, they personalize it a little more with the letter. It's a nice touch. Once the speakers are removed from their protection and plastic covers, it's a pretty straight forward install. Connect a few wires to the coordinating slots on the back of the left speaker, plug in the power supply, and Bob's your uncle. For me, I decided to test out the speakers with my turntable. I plugged my RCA cables into my preamp, then into the back of the speakers, laid down my original Star Wars Episode IV OST, hit the power button, and dropped the needle. But low and behold, as soon as I turned them on, that dreaded amplifier hiss engulfed my ears and throttled me into a state of pure dispair. It's utterly pervasive and weaves it's way into whatever other sounds are coming out of the speakers. I was obviously not ok with this, which led me to Presonus's half terrible, half amazing customer service. It's a mixed bag really, and here's why: If you call into Presonus's hotline, and then go through the numerous menus you have to go through to get to the correct section, you be put on hold. And then you'll wait. And wait. And wait. I waited for about an hour, and then the call dropped. I did this twice. Finally, I called the number again, and mashed the 0 button on my phone until someone answered. And therein lies the trick: just mash 0 on your phone and a real person will answer and get your problem sorted. I went through with the Presonus worker on the phone and explained my problem. He had me fill out an online ticket and put my problem into the description, and then wait. Less than ten minutes later, I had someone helping me. However, we couldn't figure out the problem, and it was decided that my speakers were defective. I went to desertcart and started the refund process, sadly printing out my slip because I had wanted these speakers to work so badly. Then a thought hit me. Maybe it wasn't the speakers. Maybe it was the source audio. So I tried the Bluetooth on my phone. No dice. The hiss was still there, as prominent and annoying as ever. Distraught, I started to unplug cables from the back, starting with the RCA cables that went into my preamp. Suddenly, the hiss was gone. The music from my phone that was still playing over Bluetooth was as crisp and as clear and as beautiful as I had imagined it would sound, only this time, the amp hiss was absent. I racked my brain as to why the preamp could possibly be making the hiss, and I realized it was because it wasn't grounded. Most cables nowadays have a ground wire built in, but my preamp didn't. So now, I'll have to manually ground it, which isn't a big deal in order for me to get perfect sounding music and films. Moral of the story: make sure that your source audio (and anything that it has to go through in order to reach the speakers) is grounded! Otherwise you'll get a feedback loop/hiss like I did. Aside from my issues, these speakers are incredible. The sound quality is absolutely astonishing, especially for the price that desertcart has them for. Highs and lows sound punchy and present, and there's no muddiness or muffling, which is rare to find in speakers this well priced. The build quality is also phenomenal. These things are solid and feel appropriately weighty when you pick them up. The Bluetooth is also a very nice nice touch and works perfectly. There's no lag whatsoever and is syncs with my 5S extremely fast every time. So, if you're looking for a really well-built, amazing sounding set of speakers, and you're not willing to spend upwards of $400-$700 for a hi-fi setup, these Presonus Ceres speakers are exactly what you need. Review: Great Speakers for a Great Price - Pros ------ β€’ Bluetooth streaming β€’ 3.5 mm input & output β€’ RCA input β€’ TRS Balanced input (6.35 mm) β€’ Control knobs on the front of the speaker β€’ Acoustic tuning knobs β€’ Speaker grilles β€’ Price β€’ Accessories included (3.5mm cable, 3.5mm to RCA cable, rca to 6.35mm adapter, speaker wire) β€’ Subwoofer out port (6.35mm design) Cons ------ β€’ No remote volume control (Unless controlled via bluetooth source volume control) Power management (The speakers sleep after inactivity and wake up as needed) TL:DR; -------- The Presonus Ceres c3.5BT speakers are a very good option at a very good price point. They have inputs to accommodate many different needs and produce a very good sound via wire and wireless (bluetooth) input. I highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking to delve into higher audio quality without breaking the bank. Other Thoughts ------------------- After recently acquiring a record player with not so great built in speakers, I found myself looking for some better audio with active bookshelf speakers. One of my requirements was finding an option with an available subwoofer out as I had a subwoofer lying around from my old Pioneer AVR setup without a use. Before beginning my search for active speakers, I had never heard of Presonus and their products. I can understand why, because they used to be exclusively for creative professionals until they decided to bring some options to the home market. I ended up landing on the Ceres series from Presonus after comparing several competing options such as... Audioengine, Kanto, M-Audio, PSB and others... that didn't quite meet my criteria. The Ceres series ended up being the cheapest and most featured filled option for the price. I was surprised to see that the Ceres speakers had most if not all of the features of the competitors for a lower price point. So after reading and watching a few reviews online that all pointed to a positive experience, I picked up a pair. I took the speakers out of the box and plugged them in before hooking anything else up to perform a basic audio test if they worked at all. The first feature I tested was the bluetooth streaming. I had received a Black Sabbath album (Paranoid) for free on Google Play Music and decided to use this as the test album. I connected my phone to the speakers via bluetooth, which was dead simple to do might I add, and prepared myself to stream audio. Wow, was I surprised by how great these sounded! They produced very good audio with all of the details from highs to lows coming through clearly over bluetooth streaming. I was surprised how such a relatively small speaker could produce such a clear sound. I then hooked up my subwoofer to give a little bit of extra sound in the low end and fell in love with these. Even for a smaller driver (3.5inch), these produce a fantastic sound by themselves and when coupled with a subwoofer for extra sound in the low end, I was really able to enjoy the music. I then hooked up my record player and listened to a record on them and was again surprised by how well these sounded. The difference between the sound quality via bluetooth and via wire was indistinguishable, at least to me which is a huge plus. I am very pleased with these speakers and with my purchase decision. The brand Presonus may not be widely known with consumers but it definitely should be because they produce a very good product at a very good price point. I'm sure the other options out there are just as good, but to pay more for the same feature set and audio quality that the Presonus speakers provided would be silly in my opinion. If you're looking to dive into a higher quality audio experience, then I highly recommend this as a solid option that will not break the bank. ## Features - Bluetooth wireless audio streaming for use with smartphones, tablets, and other computers - 3.5-inch Kevlar low-frequency transducer - 1-inch (25 mm), ultra-low-mass, silk-dome, high-frequency transducer - 25W/side Class AB amplification - Treble and Bass Acoustic Tuning controls let you create a more accurate listening environment ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00N55NS4W | | Additional Features | Bass Boost | | Antenna Location | Music | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Bluetooth Range | 10 meters | | Brand | PreSonus | | Built-In Media | Ceres 3.5" Monitors^Speaker Connection Cables^AC Power Cord^Quick Start Guide | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Smartphone, Tablet | | Connectivity Protocol | Bluetooth | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Button | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 135 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00673454002977, 41597596074302 | | Is Waterproof | FALSE | | Item Weight | 14.3 pounds | | Manufacturer | Presonus | | Model Name | C3.5 | | Model Number | C3.5 BT | | Mounting Type | Tabletop Mount | | Number of Audio Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Speaker Maximum Output Power | 25 watts | | Speaker Size | 3.5 inches | | Speaker Type | Subwoofer | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wireless | | Subwoofer Diameter | 3.5 inches | | Tweeter Diameter | 1 inches | | UPC | 673454002991 673454002977 | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited manufacturer warranty. | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth | | Woofer Diameter | 3.5 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PreSonus - **Speaker Maximum Output Power:** 25 Watts - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo - **Mounting Type:** Tabletop Mount ## Images ![Presonus C3.5 BT Channel Studio Monitor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51dGDSVwyML.jpg) ![Presonus C3.5 BT Channel Studio Monitor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VrVcTuwbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I fixed the hiss!

Audiophile quality? Probably to the extent a $299 speaker/amp combination can squeeze out... but it makes me long for a real hifi system still... of course, at 10 to 15 times the cost, and much more complicated hook ups, which I am hesitant to jump into just for streaming music. Excellent value for the price and really convenient with the bluetooth. I did notice bluetooth going in and out last night from my macbook air, but I am still trying to figure out why - it wasn't interference from my iphone or ipads because BT was turned off on all of them. No issues so far this morning. Doing an A-B comparison with my Bose Soundlink speaker, it's clear how much more detail is presented by the Presonus speakers. Doing an A-B comparison with my Audio Technica headphones, it's clear how much is missing from the Presonus. Wife isn't impressed because it's lacking the boomy bass in her definition of "good" speakers. I suppose it's physics... a little 4.5" woofer can only do so much. I'm debating if I want to go deeper into presonus and and get the T8 subwoofer to make the wife happier, though I don't think she'll ever be happy with the little speakers. I had these in the living room and have since moved them into the dining room. Nice that they are small and self-contained so I can do that. They aren't exactly stylish, but not offensively un-stylish either. Sounded OK watching American Idol on Hulu+ streamed over Roku too. Again, missing all the boomy bass. Still debating if that is a good or bad thing. Update: so I got the Temblor T8 subs and calibrated the levels according to the instructions and found a sweet-ish spot for the low pass filter (around 80Hz), and it sounds a lot more complete. I can at least hear the double bass in the music now. Had to mess around with the low pass filter and volume of the sub to get the lows without it being overly boomy. Update 2: after an afternoon of calibrating to my taste, I think it's super now. Listening to a reasonably contemporary live recording of Ben Webster now, and it's seriously good for the amount of money I spent on this equipment. I'm enjoying the music instead of focusing on what the speakers are or aren't doing - and isn't that the whole point if it all? If you decide to get these speakers, I hope you do enjoy them as much as I am now. My 6 year old hijacked the system to play her music all morning long - that was really great to see. I think the wife appreciates it now as well! (as for the macbook bluetooth issues - I give up, done all kinds of resets as advised by Apple support and it just stays stable for 10 or so minutes and starts dropping again. it's an Apple issue.
