About the PreSonus Ceres™ C3.5 BT

Dave Bar

Versatile performance and wireless convenience for studio or home

We've seen our share of powered studio monitors here at Crutchfield, but the PreSonus Ceres 3.5 BT are the first we've ever come across that offer the convenience of wireless Bluetooth audio. They make it a snap to enjoy music, movie and video game soundtracks streamed wirelessly from your compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer. But these versatile monitors don't stop there. They also give you the pro-quality sound and accuracy that PreSonus monitors are known for, plus a flexible set of connections and controls that make them easy to integrate into your studio or home system.

PreSonus Ceres C3.5 BT

The versatile PreSonus Ceres C3.5 BT monitors deliver outstanding sound for the home or studio with the added convenience of wireless Bluetooth playback.

We've seen our share of powered studio monitors here at Crutchfield, but the PreSonus Ceres 3.5 BT are the first we've ever come across that offer the convenience of wireless Bluetooth audio. They make it a snap to enjoy music, movie and video game soundtracks streamed wirelessly from your compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer. But these versatile monitors don't stop there. They also give you the pro-quality sound and accuracy that PreSonus monitors are known for, plus a flexible set of connections and controls that make them easy to integrate into your studio or home system.

Flexible connection and control options

Although the Ceres 3.5s function as a pair, the amplification, connections and controls are all found on the left speaker, which provides signal and power to the right speaker through a regular speaker wire connection. One pair of balanced 1/4" TRS inputs and a pair of unbalanced RCA inputs give you flexibility for line-level input. You also get a 1/4" TRS subwoofer output for plugging in a powered sub. Handy front-panel 1/8" aux-in and headphone output jacks add to the convenience.

PreSonus knows you don't always have control over the space you're working in, but the C3.5 has you covered. Separate bass and treble controls let you create a more accurate listening environment. If your work takes you overseas, the C3.5 also has an "AC select" switch so you can adapt to voltage requirements outside the U.S.

Q
This speaker does not appear to have a 1/4"-20 threaded mount on the back....what are the wall or ceiling mounting options? Thx.

I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: I reached out to Advisor about this question, and they stated that these speakers were not originally designed for wall mounting. They then indicated that it would be best for you to contact one of them by phone or online chat to discuss the wall mounting. To help find a mount they'll need to know the type of wall it will be mounted to, how high up, what the speakers will be connected to, etc. A quick conversation with one of them should get you set up. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
