Edifier R1280DBs Active Bookshelf Speakers

The Edifier R1280DBs are active bookshelf speakers with built-in amplification and BLUETOOTH 5.0 wireless streaming. They provide 42W continuous undistorted power through a 13mm silk dome tweeter and a 4-inch sub-woofer unit. Optical and coaxial inputs deliver lossless digital connections, while dual RCA inputs allow two analogue sources simultaneously. A wireless remote and side-panel controls manage volume, bass, treble and input selection.

Ideal for desktop and living-room listening

These speakers suit listeners who want a compact stereo system with wireless convenience and multiple wired inputs for a TV, computer or turntable pre-amp. The subwoofer output with auto crossover lets you add a powered sub for deeper bass. Buyers who need a purely passive design for an external amplifier, or who require HDMI or USB audio connectivity, should consider other options.

42W continuous undistorted power

The 42W rating defines the maximum clean output the built-in amplifiers can deliver to the 13mm tweeter and 4-inch driver. This figure determines whether the system can reach the listening levels you need in your room without distortion.

Questions about this item

Will the 42 W amplifier and 4-inch sub-woofer run hot or draw noticeable power during all-day playback?

The 42 W continuous rating is an undistorted output figure; the active design keeps heat low enough for extended sessions without a fan.

What source devices or cables must I already have to use the optical and coaxial inputs?

You need a TV, computer or streamer with Toslink optical or RCA coaxial digital output, plus the matching cable for each connection.

Can I keep my legacy turntable or CD player connected through the dual RCA inputs while also pairing a phone over Bluetooth 5.0?

Yes, the dual RCA jacks stay active for analogue sources, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX adds wireless streaming without unplugging anything.
