Edifier R1700BTs Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers 66W RMS Power

A More Considered Way To Listen At Home The Edifier R1700BTs combines a distinctively angled bookshelf design with built-in amplification, Bluetooth and useful analogue connections. Its separate treble and mid-bass drivers provide a dedicated stereo system for a desk or settled home listening space. The active speaker takes care of amplification and source control, while the passive partner completes the pair. A remote, physical tone controls and an optional powered-subwoofer connection make the system adaptable without a complicated equipment stack. Highlights Dedicated Stereo Performance 66W RMS total output with separate treble and mid-bass amplification. Wooden cabinets with a 10-degree inclined design. Wireless And Analogue Listening Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD support from a compatible source. Two RCA input pairs keep suitable audio sources connected. Room To Expand Sub Out supports a separately purchased powered subwoofer. Remote and side-panel controls keep everyday operation straightforward. Key Features Separate Amplification For Treble And Mid-Bass A 0.75-inch silk-diaphragm tweeter and 4-inch mid-bass driver in each cabinet divide the listening task. Their amplification totals 66W RMS across the pair. Class-D amplification, digital signal processing and dynamic range control form part of the system, providing a complete active-speaker arrangement for music and everyday media. An Angled Cabinet With A Practical Purpose The 10-degree incline directs the speaker drivers upwards towards the listener. Wooden MDF enclosures also help control cabinet resonance. The result is a distinctive form that makes sense on suitable furniture, while still benefiting from sensible positioning: keep the path to your ears clear and arrange the two cabinets around your listening position. Bluetooth Listening With Compatible aptX HD Sources Bluetooth 5.0 lets a compatible phone, tablet or computer supply music without an audio cable to the active speaker. aptX HD is supported when the source supports the same codec. The negotiated connection depends on the source, so aptX HD should not be assumed for every phone or operating system. Two Analogue Sources Without Repeated Reconnection The two RCA input pairs are useful when a computer and another line-level source share the same speakers. Select the source you want to hear rather than repeatedly changing the rear cables. A turntable must provide a suitable line-level signal, either through its own preamplifier or a separate phono stage. Add A Powered Subwoofer When You Need It The Sub Out connection offers a route to a compatible powered subwoofer, purchased separately. The speakers detect the subwoofer connection and adjust their own bass output. You can therefore begin with the complete stereo pair and consider additional low-frequency output later, according to your room, listening level and preferred material. Accessible Controls For Everyday Use Use the remote for source and volume control, and the side-panel bass and treble dials for direct tone adjustment. Connect mains power to the active cabinet and link the passive cabinet using the speaker cable. Plan for those cables and rear connectors as well as the cabinet depth when choosing the final position. Summary Choose the Edifier R1700BTs for a stereo system with a distinctive inclined cabinet, useful analogue connections and Bluetooth flexibility. It brings amplification, tone adjustment and remote control together, with the option to add a powered subwoofer as your listening setup develops.
