Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers with Sub Out – Maple
The Edifier R1280DBs active bookshelf speakers combine warm, room-filling sound with classic wood styling and modern connectivity. Designed for everyday listening, TV audio and desktop setups, these powered 2.0 speakers deliver impressive clarity and flexibility straight out of the box, with no external amplifier required.
Finished in an elegant maple wood effect, the R1280DBs fit effortlessly into modern and traditional spaces alike, offering performance that comfortably exceeds their compact size.
Rich, Balanced Sound with Room to Grow
Powered by a built-in 42W RMS amplifier, the R1280DBs produce a detailed and engaging soundstage. A silk dome tweeter handles crisp highs, while the 4-inch bass driver delivers controlled midrange and punchy low-end performance. The front-facing bass reflex port helps maintain impact even when the speakers are placed close to a wall.
For listeners who want more depth, the dedicated subwoofer output allows easy expansion with an external subwoofer, creating a fuller and more immersive setup.
Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Streaming Made Easy
Thanks to Qualcomm Bluetooth v5.0, the Edifier R1280DBs offer a stable and reliable wireless connection. Pair your smartphone, tablet or laptop and stream music, podcasts or internet radio directly from services such as Spotify, Apple Music or BBC Sounds, without the need for cables.
Bluetooth pairing is quick and simple, making these speakers ideal for everyday use at home or in the office.
Connect to TVs, Consoles and More
The R1280DBs are more than just Bluetooth speakers. With optical and coaxial digital inputs, they connect directly to TVs, games consoles, CD players and media streamers, delivering clearer and more impactful sound than built-in TV speakers.
Two RCA analogue inputs add further flexibility, allowing connection to hi-fi separates, tuner radios and turntables with a built-in phono stage.
Simple Controls with Included Remote
For hands-on adjustment, the side-mounted controls let you fine-tune volume, bass and treble with ease. The included remote control adds extra convenience, allowing you to switch inputs, adjust levels, pair Bluetooth devices and activate the Soundfield Spatialiser without leaving your seat.
Timeless Design in a Maple Finish
The wooden enclosure not only looks great but also helps reduce unwanted resonance, improving overall sound quality. Smooth, rounded edges and removable front grilles give you the choice between a subtle, understated look or a more technical speaker aesthetic.
