Edifier T5s Powered Subwoofer 70W

A Slim Bass Cabinet For A More Deliberate Listening Setup The Edifier T5s combines an 8-inch front-firing woofer and 70W RMS amplifier in a slim vertical cabinet. Its published response reaches down to 35Hz, with adjustable level, low-pass filtering and phase to help integrate it with compatible main speakers. RCA Signal In and pass-through Signal Out support different analogue system layouts, while automatic standby handles periods without an audio signal. Highlights 70W RMS active subwoofer with an 8-inch long-throw driver. Published frequency response of 35Hz–115Hz. Slim vertical MDF cabinet, 170mm deep. Line-level RCA Signal In and Signal Out pass-through. Level, low-pass and 0°/180° phase controls with 15-minute auto standby. Key Features A Slim Cabinet With A Dedicated Bass Role The T5s places its 8-inch long-throw woofer in an MDF enclosure with a relatively shallow 170mm depth. Its separate amplifier supplies 70W RMS to the bass driver, leaving the main speakers responsible for the rest of the audio range. The vertical cabinet format offers a different placement option from a conventional deeper subwoofer box. Connect To An Appropriate Analogue Output A dedicated Sub Out or LFE connection can feed the RCA Signal In sockets. For a suitable system without a separate subwoofer output, the manual describes sending a stereo line-level source through the subwoofer’s Signal In and pass-through Signal Out to the main active speakers. Amplified speaker-level output terminals must not be connected to the T5s input. Refine The Crossover And Listening Level Start with the subwoofer listening level low, then match it to the source and main speakers. The low-pass control selects the upper crossover point, while the 0°/180° phase switch helps compare the bass alignment at the listening position. If the source already manages the crossover, follow the manual’s guidance for the subwoofer filter setting. A Wired Upgrade For A Settled Speaker System The T5s is a mains-powered analogue subwoofer. Its Signal Out sockets are pass-through line connections, not amplified outputs for passive speakers. Plan the source, main-speaker and subwoofer cable route as one system, with a useful way to control the complete listening level from the selected source. Automatic Standby Between Listening Sessions The subwoofer enters standby after approximately 15 minutes without an audio signal and wakes when the input resumes. The rear power switch remains available for full power control. Allow stable support, access to the rear controls and enough room for the driver and port arrangement rather than placing the cabinet tightly against surrounding furniture. Summary Choose the Edifier T5s when a compatible speaker system needs dedicated low-frequency support in a slim cabinet format. It offers line-level integration, adjustable bass controls and automatic standby, with a defined wired connection path and no need for a separate subwoofer power amplifier. Frequently Asked Questions Does the T5s receive Bluetooth audio?ExpandCollapse Bluetooth is not listed as an input. The T5s uses wired line-level RCA Signal In connections and mains power. Is Signal Out an amplifier output for passive speakers?ExpandCollapse No. Signal Out is a line-level pass-through connection for a compatible active main speaker system or other suitable equipment. Can I connect an amplifier’s speaker terminals?ExpandCollapse No. The manual specifically excludes amplified power-output terminals. Use a dedicated subwoofer output or suitable stereo line-level source. How does the T5s differ from the T5?ExpandCollapse The T5s has a slim vertical cabinet, a published 35Hz–115Hz response and approximately 15-minute automatic standby. Check the individual dimensions and response rather than assuming the two models are identical. Will it enter standby automatically?ExpandCollapse Yes. After approximately 15 minutes without an audio signal it enters standby, then wakes when the signal returns. Read more
