FAQs

How do I connect the speakers to my turntable?

Can I connect these speakers wirelessly?

No, the Edifier R1280T does not have Bluetooth connectivity. You will need to connect your devices via RCA cables.

What kind of cables do I need?

You will need RCA to RCA cables or RCA to AUX cables, depending on your audio source. Speaker wire is included for connecting the two speakers.

How do I adjust the bass and treble?

Use the dials located on the side panel of the active speaker. You can adjust the bass and treble from -6 to +6 dB.

What is the warranty period?

The standard warranty period for Edifier products is usually one or two years. Refer to your product's documentation or the retailer for specific warranty details.

Can I use these speakers with my TV?

Yes, you can connect the speakers to your TV using an RCA to AUX cable or, if your TV has RCA outputs, an RCA to RCA cable.

How do I clean the speakers?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the speaker surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the total power output of the speakers?

Troubleshooting

No sound is coming from the speakers.

Check the power connection, ensure the speakers are turned on, verify that the audio source is connected properly, and check the volume level on both the speakers and the source device.

One speaker is not working.

Check the speaker wire connection between the speakers, and ensure that the audio source is connected properly. Swap the speaker wires to determine if it is a speaker issue.

Sound quality is poor (e.g., distorted, lacking bass).

Adjust the bass and treble controls on the side panel to optimize the sound. Check the audio source's output settings and the quality of the audio files. Ensure that the speakers are positioned correctly.

Remote control is not working.

Check the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there is nothing blocking the line of sight between the remote and the speakers. Reset the speakers by turning them off and then on again.
