Edifier R1280DB Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers 42W

Classic Bookshelf Stereo With Flexible Source Connections The Edifier R1280DB combines a compact active bookshelf speaker pair with analogue, digital and Bluetooth inputs. Two-way drivers and built-in amplification provide 42W RMS total output, while side-mounted tone and volume controls and a remote keep daily operation straightforward. The wooden enclosures and front-facing ports suit a traditional stereo arrangement around a desk, shelf or compact entertainment space. Highlights 42W RMS active stereo system with 21W per side. 4-inch mid-bass drivers and 0.5-inch silk-diaphragm tweeters. Optical, coaxial, two RCA line inputs and Bluetooth. Bass, treble and listening-level controls on the active speaker. Remote control and MDF wooden cabinets. Key Features An Active Speaker Pair Without A Separate Receiver Each cabinet combines a 4-inch mid-bass driver with a 0.5-inch silk-diaphragm tweeter. A two-way active crossover and the built-in amplifier provide 21W RMS for each channel. The active cabinet links to the passive cabinet with the supplied cable, giving a complete stereo speaker system without a separate external power amplifier. Keep Analogue And Digital Sources Connected Two stereo RCA line inputs accommodate suitable analogue equipment, while optical and coaxial provide digital source choices. Connect the appropriate audio leads, then choose the required input rather than moving cables each time. For digital television audio, use supported PCM stereo settings rather than assuming that a surround bitstream can be decoded. Convenient Wireless Music Reception Bluetooth provides a wireless connection from compatible phones, tablets and computers. This is a source connection to the active system; the speaker cabinets remain linked by their cable and the system still needs mains power. Choose a wired input when it better matches the source equipment or the required connection arrangement. Controls At The Speaker Or The Listening Seat Side-mounted bass, treble and master-volume controls allow direct adjustment, while the infrared remote handles supported input, level and mute functions. Set up the speaker pair around the listening position first, then make modest tone adjustments to suit the placement and source rather than relying on them to compensate for an unsuitable layout. A Defined Model With Clear Expansion Limits The MDF cabinets and front bass-reflex ports retain a conventional bookshelf appearance in a compact format. The R1280DB is distinct from the R1280DBs: an external subwoofer output is not listed on this model. If bass expansion is part of the intended setup, confirm the required source and subwoofer connections before purchasing additional equipment. Summary Choose the Edifier R1280DB for a compact active stereo pair with useful analogue, digital and wireless source connections. Its direct tone controls, remote and traditional cabinet design make it a practical starting point for a settled bookshelf or desktop listening system. Frequently Asked Questions Do I need a separate amplifier?ExpandCollapse No. Amplification is built into the system. Link the active and passive speakers with the supplied cable and connect the active speaker to mains power. Is the R1280DB the same as the R1280DBs?ExpandCollapse No. They are different models. A subwoofer output is not listed for the R1280DB, while the R1280DBs has a dedicated expansion connection. Can I connect a TV by optical?ExpandCollapse Yes, if the television has a compatible optical output. Select supported PCM stereo audio in the source settings rather than a surround bitstream. Can I connect a turntable directly?ExpandCollapse Only if the turntable provides a suitable line-level output. A phono-only output needs an appropriate phono preamplifier first. Does Bluetooth remove the cable between the speakers?ExpandCollapse No. Bluetooth receives audio from the source device. A cable still connects the active and passive speaker cabinets. 続きを読む
