What these speakers are

The Edifier R1380T White is a 2.0 stereo pair of powered bookshelf speakers with a built-in Class-D amplifier delivering 42 watts RMS total. Dual RCA inputs let you connect two sources at once, while a TI PCM9211 decoding chip handles digital signal conversion. A 25 mm tweeter and 116 mm mid-bass driver sit in an MDF enclosure designed to reduce resonance.

When the upgrade makes sense

They replace basic computer speakers or a single soundbar that cannot separate stereo imaging. The jump is worth it when you want independent bass and treble controls on the side panel plus a remote for volume changes across the room. Buyers who need a subwoofer output or wireless streaming will not find those connections here.

Installing and common issues

Plug each speaker into mains power, run the supplied speaker cable between the active and passive unit, then connect your sources via the two RCA pairs. No driver installation is required. The most frequent issue is reversed left/right channels caused by swapping the speaker wire polarity, so match the terminals carefully.

Questions about this item

What desk space do the 116 mm mid-bass drivers need in these 2.0 speakers?

The 4-inch mid-bass units sit in an MDF cabinet designed for near-field listening, so leave a few centimetres behind each speaker for the rear-facing bass port and RCA cables.

How do I connect two sources to the dual LINE IN ports without unplugging?

Plug each device into one of the two RCA inputs on the rear panel, then use the side-panel volume knob or the included remote to select the active source.

When should I expect to replace the 25 mm tweeter or the Class-D amp rated at 21 W per channel?

The tweeter and amplifier are built for continuous 42 W RMS use; with normal indoor listening they typically last many years before any degradation appears.
