Edifier T5 Powered Subwoofer 70W
A Dedicated Foundation For Low-Frequency Sound The Edifier T5 adds a separate bass cabinet to a compatible active speaker or home entertainment system. An 8-inch long-throw driver and built-in 70W RMS amplifier take care of low frequencies, while level, low-pass and phase controls help the subwoofer work with the main speakers.

Highlights 70W RMS powered subwoofer with an 8-inch front-firing driver. Published frequency response of 38Hz–160Hz. RCA Signal In and pass-through Signal Out connections. Adjustable volume, low-pass filtering and 0°/180° phase. MDF cabinet with a wood-grain finish and automatic standby. Key Features Give Low Frequencies Their Own Cabinet A dedicated 8-inch driver handles the bass range rather than asking compact main speakers to reproduce every frequency. The built-in Class-D amplifier supplies 70W RMS, with digital processing used for low-pass filtering and phase control. This is an addition to a suitable speaker system, rather than a full-range speaker or a replacement for the main left and right channels. Connect Through The Appropriate Line-Level Output A source or active speaker with Sub Out, Woofer Out or LFE Out can feed the T5 Signal In connection. For a suitable stereo line-level system without a dedicated subwoofer socket, the manual also describes using Signal In and the Signal Out pass-through. Check the source connections before ordering; amplified speaker-level terminals are not suitable inputs. Set The Balance Around Your Main Speakers Start with a low subwoofer level, then adjust it against the main speakers at a comfortable listening volume. The low-frequency bandwidth control sets the crossover point, while the phase switch offers 0° or 180° alignment. These adjustments help blend the bass with the existing system rather than simply adding more low-frequency output. Place The Subwoofer With The Room In Mind The MDF enclosure and wood-grain finish suit a settled desktop or room installation. Allow space for its 278 × 300 × 336mm cabinet, the side port and rear connections. Listening position and room boundaries affect the result, so it is useful to try a practical placement and refine the level before fixing the cable route. Automatic Standby For Everyday Use The subwoofer enters standby after approximately 30 minutes without a signal and wakes when playback resumes. Both the subwoofer and the main speaker system still need their own appropriate power arrangements. The supplied audio leads support the connection options shown in the manual; choose the arrangement that gives the source practical control over the complete system.
