Its wooden cabinets suit a desk, shelf or television setup, while physical tone controls and a remote keep everyday adjustments within reach. Connect the sources you use most, choose your listening position and enjoy a more substantial sound without assembling a separate amplifier and passive speaker system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStereo Sound With Built-In Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42W RMS total output from an active and passive speaker pair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated mid-bass and treble drivers in wooden enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnections For Different Sources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth plus analogue line, optical and coaxial audio inputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA subwoofer output provides a route to a compatible powered subwoofer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSimple Everyday Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-mounted bass, treble and volume controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied remote for convenient source and listening adjustments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeparate Drivers For Voices And Instruments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cabinet combines a 4-inch mid-bass driver with a 0.5-inch silk-diaphragm tweeter. The two-way active crossover manages their different roles, while built-in amplification supplies the complete pair. This arrangement gives music, dialogue and everyday media a dedicated stereo system rather than relying on the small speakers built into a screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKeep Your Regular Sources Connected\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalogue line inputs accommodate suitable computers and audio equipment, and Bluetooth makes it easy to play from a compatible phone or tablet. Choose the source you want to hear using the controls. For a turntable, use a line-level output or a suitable separate phono preamplifier; a phono-only output needs that extra stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Practical Digital Connection For Your TV\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptical and coaxial inputs provide another way to connect compatible televisions and digital audio sources. Set the source to PCM stereo at 44.1kHz or 48kHz, as specified in the manual. The speakers do not decode Dolby or DTS soundtracks, so the source output setting matters just as much as the physical cable connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild Towards A 2.1 Listening System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sub Out connection allows you to add a compatible powered subwoofer separately. The speaker system detects a subwoofer connection and adjusts its own bass output accordingly. This gives you a useful expansion path, while the original two speakers remain a complete stereo system when you do not need a separate subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjust The Balance For Your Listening Position\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass and treble controls make it easy to adapt the sound to your preference and placement. The wooden enclosures help control cabinet resonance, but the room and surrounding furniture still influence what you hear. Position both speakers with a clear path to the listening area and make small adjustments using familiar music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Remote And Local Controls That Work Together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the supplied remote from your seat or the controls on the active speaker when it is within reach. The active cabinet connects to mains power and links to its passive partner with a speaker cable. Allow room for the rear connections when planning a shelf or desktop position rather than measuring the cabinet alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the Edifier R1280DBs for a compact stereo system that combines convenient wireless listening with useful wired inputs. It suits a settled desktop or home entertainment position where built-in amplification, digital audio connections and the option to add a powered subwoofer make the system easier to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"ace-article-faq\" aria-labelledby=\"ace-edifier-r1280dbs-copy-faq-title\"\u003e\u003ch3 id=\"ace-edifier-r1280dbs-copy-faq-title\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"ace-form-disclosure\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"ace-form-title\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-title-text\"\u003eDoes the R1280DBs include both speakers?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-toggle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-expand\"\u003eExpand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-collapse\"\u003eCollapse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-chevron\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ace-form-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
