Edifier R1280Ts Active Bookshelf Speakers with Sub-Out & Remote - Pair - Brown
VIEW ALL - Bookshelf Speaker Collection >
The Edifier R1280Ts are Active 2.0 Bookshelf Speakers delivering 42W total RMS output with dual RCA inputs, a dedicated subwoofer output, front-facing bass reflex port, on-board bass, treble and volume controls and a wireless remote — the R1280T with the addition of a sub-out port for system expansion, in a classic retro-inspired brown wood finish.
The Edifier R1280Ts are powered bookshelf speakers that build on the hugely popular R1280T with one key addition — a dedicated sub-out port for connecting an active subwoofer, allowing the system to grow with your listening ambitions without replacing the speakers. Everything that makes the R1280T a favourite is here — the classic retro brown MDF wooden enclosure, 42W total RMS output, 4" bass driver with front-facing bass reflex port, silk dome tweeter and straightforward dual RCA connectivity — with the added flexibility of a subwoofer output for those who want deeper, more powerful low-frequency performance at a later stage.
42W RMS with 4" Driver & Silk Dome Tweeter
Each speaker combines a 4" mid-woofer with a 13mm silk dome tweeter for balanced, detailed sound reproduction from 52Hz to 20kHz. A calibrated, flared front-facing bass reflex port delivers robust, rich bass notes with real presence and depth — making the R1280Ts a particularly satisfying listen for vinyl enthusiasts connecting a turntable, as well as for everyday music listening, TV audio and desktop use.
Dual RCA Inputs & Sub-Out
Two RCA line inputs on the rear of the active speaker allow two source devices to be connected simultaneously — no more plugging and unplugging when switching between a turntable and a TV, for example. The dedicated sub-out port connects directly to any compatible active subwoofer, allowing the low-frequency performance of the system to be significantly enhanced without any changes to the main speakers themselves.
On-Board Controls, Removable Grille & Wireless Remote
Bass, treble and master volume dials on the side panel of the active speaker provide precise tonal control, and the included wireless remote allows volume adjustment, mute/unmute and sound field extension switching from across the room. A removable mesh grille on each speaker can be taken off for cleaning with a dry cloth when needed.

60 Day Returns Policy
We ask that you follow these guidelines to help us process your return as quickly and efficiently as possible:
- Please keep your order reference to hand. This confirms your original order and gives us the necessary details to authorise the product's return.

- It is your responsibility to request a return. If you don't tell us you want to make a return, we don't know. Once you do tell us, we will do everything we can to action it.
- If you have not requested a return within 60 days of receiving an order, we will assume that you are intending to keep it, and we will not authorise a return.
- We always refund the payment according to how the original purchase was made and aim to do so within 72 hours of the return being received by us.
- Returned goods are liable for a restocking fee of 15% towards handling and repackaging if the order is not returned in its original, unopened packaging. This charge will be subject to our inspection of the returned goods.
- Delivery charges will not be refunded unless the delivered goods are faulty.
- Replacement products are dispatched immediately after the returned goods have been received and accepted by Audio Volt.
- Items that develop a fault within 30 days of delivery are eligible for a replacement or a refund. Delivery costs are also reimbursed for faulty items. Please contact our Customer Services Team on 02476 369890 if you believe your item has developed a fault.
