VIEW ALL - Bookshelf Speaker Collection >
The Edifier R1280DB are Active 2.0 Bookshelf Speakers delivering 24W total RMS output with Bluetooth 4.0, optical, coaxial and dual RCA inputs, on-board treble, bass and volume controls and a remote control — combining classic wood-finished elegance with modern connectivity for an enjoyable listening experience in any home setting.
The Edifier R1280DB are powered bookshelf speakers that bring together the timeless appeal of a classic wood-finished cabinet with a comprehensive set of modern connectivity options — making them one of the most versatile and accessible active bookshelf speakers available at their price point. Whether placed on a desk, bookshelf or sideboard, the clean MDF wooden enclosure leaves a lasting impression of elegance that enhances any domestic living space, whilst the upgraded feature set delivers the kind of performance and convenience that modern listeners expect from a powered speaker system.
24W RMS with 4" Driver & 13mm Tweeter
Each speaker combines a 4" bass driver with a 13mm tweeter for balanced, enjoyable sound across the frequency range from 70Hz to 20kHz. At 24W total RMS — 12W per channel — the R1280DB delivers plenty of volume for a typical living room or bedroom listening space, with on-board treble, bass and volume controls on the side panel of the active speaker for convenient manual adjustment to suit your room and listening preference.
Comprehensive Connectivity
The R1280DB offers an impressive range of input options for an active bookshelf speaker at this price point — Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets and laptops, optical and coaxial digital inputs for TV and home theatre integration, and two sets of RCA inputs (Line A and Line B) for turntables, CD players and other analogue sources. Line input A features a treble upgrade for enhanced high-frequency performance on that input. Switching between inputs is handled easily from the included remote control, which also manages volume and power — adding a layer of convenience that makes the R1280DB genuinely practical for everyday home use.
