Edifier T5 8" Active Subwoofer - Black
VIEW ALL - Bookshelf Speaker Collection >
The Edifier T5 is a 70W RMS Active Subwoofer with an 8" long-stroke driver, low-pass filter, phase control, RCA line in/out pass-through and auto-standby ā delivering clean, powerful bass down to 38Hz in a 21mm thickened MDF enclosure for a rich, distortion-free low-frequency listening experience.
The Edifier T5 is a compact 70W active subwoofer designed to complement any stereo speaker system with deep, accurate and distortion-free bass ā filling in the low frequencies that bookshelf and desktop speakers simply cannot reproduce on their own. Delivering a clean listening experience down to 38Hz, the T5 adds the kind of low-end depth and physical presence to music, films and TV audio that transforms a good listening setup into a genuinely immersive one. Whether paired with the Edifier R1280T, R1280DBs or any other compact speaker system, the T5 integrates seamlessly and makes an immediate, noticeable difference to the overall sound.
8" Long-Stroke Driver in a Thickened MDF Enclosure
The T5ās 8" long-stroke driver is designed specifically for deep, accurate bass reproduction ā moving greater volumes of air for more impactful, physically felt low frequencies without the distortion that less capable drivers produce at high excursion levels. The 21mm thickened MDF cabinet provides significantly greater structural rigidity than standard subwoofer enclosures, reducing cabinet resonance for a cleaner, tighter bass response that lets the music ā not the cabinet ā do the talking.
Low-Pass Filter, Phase Control & RCA Pass-Through
A variable low-pass filter on the rear panel allows the crossover frequency to be adjusted to blend seamlessly with the main speakers, ensuring a smooth, coherent transition between the subwoofer and the high and mid-range frequencies handled by the bookshelf speakers. A phase control switch helps time-align the subwoofer with the main speakers for the most natural, integrated sound. RCA line-in and line-out pass-through connections make integration with any existing speaker system straightforward, and a rear-panel bass volume knob allows quick, convenient level adjustment without moving the subwoofer.
Auto-Standby & Universal Power Supply
An automatic standby mode ensures the T5 powers down when no signal is present for an extended period, saving electricity without any manual intervention. A universal 100ā240V switching power supply ensures compatibility in any mains environment.
