T5 Powered Subwoofer - 70w RMS Active Woofer with 8 inch Driver and Low Pass Filter

Just wrote a review of the companion Edifier R1700BTs speakers, which are awesome. If you're looking for a budget system that produces every note from the lowest to highest, I highly recommend pairing this sub with those speakers (which have a subwoofer out and seem made to pair with the T5). Once the T5 is properly placed to integrate with the speakers, it's very impressive indeed. Not the absolute last word in speed, detail and bass depth, however what it does it does very well, especially for how compact it is, that it's only an 8" driver, and its relatively low cost. Along with the R1700BTs speakers, my system absolutely THUMPS! Not just that, but sounds pretty dang amazing in all respects, and this is coming from an audiophile. You can see my pic of how I have the speakers placed -- not super ideal -- but this little system is immensely satisfying. The T5 also seems well made, pretty easy to setup and dial in, and I'd rate it a very good value for the money. A total no brainer sub for a budget system. The only thing I wish is that it had a remote to control settings from my chair and adjust on the fly. That would be perfect.

I purchased the Edifier T5 subwoofer in August to pair with my R1700BTs. Within about a week I noticed an odd issue where a high-pitched noise would occur at random intervals. It was not constant, but noticeable enough to be distracting. I reached out to Edifier customer support and they were genuinely helpful. They walked me through troubleshooting steps like swapping cables, checking connections, and ruling out interference. When we couldn’t isolate the issue, they offered a replacement at no cost and covered shipping. The replacement arrived quickly and has been flawless. The new T5 sounds excellent. I have it paired with the R1700BTs, replacing an older Logitech 3-piece system. This is my first step into a more “audiophile-leaning” setup, and once everything was dialed in, the difference was immediately noticeable. The bass is tight and controlled rather than boomy, and it blends well with the R1700BTs without overpowering them. I’m not an audiophile, but for someone upgrading from typical consumer speakers, this setup feels like a massive step up.

I needed a sub to fill in some bottom end for my treadmill room stereo system. I have a pair of Mordaunt Short Carnival 2 speakers hooked up to a Sonos Amp in that room and they sound great. Unfortunately, they have to compete with the sound of the treadmill when I'm going for a run. This little Edifier sub not only gave some grunt to my system but it is also a very musical sub. If you want a bunch of overwhelming distorted WHOMP this sub is not for you. But if you want a sub to add some musical low end to your system, this little mofo is perfect. I wouldn't recommend it for extremely large rooms or massive home theaters but it is absolutely perfect for a 2.1 system in a moderate to small room. It would also do well in a small home theater setup like in an average apartment size living room. A couple parting shots: 1. If you're new to subwoofer ownership...your first inclination will be to crank the LPF and VOLUME knobs on the back and leave them there for eternity. Don't do it. Start at zero and slowly work your way up incrementally...stopping to listen for each adjustment. (Some recommend that you start with the knobs cranked and decrease them incrementally until you can barely hear the sub...then dial the knob one click up from that point...then stop). Regardless of what method you choose, you most likely won't have the volume knob and the LPF knob at the same position once you've dialed in the perfect setting for your room and your taste. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the sweet spot...and it also takes awhile to find the sweet spot on your sub. (I crack myself up!) :0) 2. Placement of a sub and other factors can have a significant impact on its sound. You may want to check some YouTube videos on corner placement, frequency cutoffs, and not letting your small children put candy or small toys in the subwoofer port. I got this sub during the Prime Big Deal Days (it was discounted $50) so I am very happy with this little beast. I can't vouch for its reliability yet, (seeing how I've only had it for about 20 days) but since I hooked up this very musical sub, my treadmill runs have been accompanied by infinitely better sounding music!! Highly Recommended.

Very nice subwoofer! It's attractive and not too big. Does a real good job. I use it for my desktop computer, under my desk. I matched it with Edifier desktop speakers which are also very nice. Highly recommended!

Non sono un audiofilo ma per me è davvero ottimo. Ascoltavo musica dalla mia workstation con due casse amplificata di buona qualità, ma l'aggiunta di questo sub ha cambiato veramente tutto. La mia scheda audi è standard e non ha una uscita specifica per subwoofer. Ora mi è venuta voglia di acquistare anche una scheda più performante e sentire che cosa cambierà. Tenete conto che è piuttosto voluminoso e i cavi di collegamento non sono troppo lunghi.

As other reviewers have stressed, it is important to spend the time and attention adjusting the low pass filter (the frequency response level [crossover point] at which the subwoofer cuts in with the 16' sounds) and the volume. As generally directed, it is sensible to set the bass on your amplifier to a neutral (0) level, i.e. no + or - adjustment to bass, as a starting point for calibrating the subwoofer, so that it works properly with the full available range. The cables supplied might work with other people's installed system/amp., but in my case I had to buy a separate 1 RCA male to 2 RCA male cable to make it work properly. The 3.5 mm [vs. an RCA] to 2 RCA male cable supplied was not usable in my case as there is no suitable 3.5 mm socket on my amp., which does, on the other hand, have a dedicated subwoofer OUT socket, to which my new cable is correctly connected, and working well. The other (2 RCA to 2 RCA) cable supplied with the unit generated feedback and distortion, although it sort of worked on some types music, but definitely not on others - and I was almost thinking of returning the unit altogether, if the replacement cable I obtained had not worked, but it does, and perfectly so. Phase control is set at 0 ('normal'), unless you have a long cable and the subwoofer produces sound other than from the same plane as your main speakers. Now that it has the right cable, and despite having been initially a little concerned about it with the 2 x 2 RCA plug cable, the system is working very well, and the gradual, proportionate response is very controllable, with a natural take-over of the lower bass registers from the main speakers, and the speaker and system as a whole is entirely free of background hum or noise. People who do not like music as much as I do have also commented that the effect is quite subtle, and can also be impressively powerful. There are of course very detailed (11+ point...) subwoofer set-up instructions available online, but so long as one starts with everything set as above, and on low/zero levels and works up, a very good set of levels can be arrived at. I recommend also using feel - i.e. the levels at which your hand feels the subwoofer starts to vibrate - it is (pleasingly) a very fine tuning to set this point, and then just above that, for the required 16' bass effect. As an analogy, anyone who plays an orchestral double bass, when doubling the cellos will know that it is a very subtle volume and level of precision that "tracks" the bass line an octave below, which is the most rewarding sound (the feeling of 'latent power') - simply enabling the octave to resonate almost with a life of its own, even at the softest levels, and which is a very wonderful thing. It is also very possible to achieve a good level of (non-boomy) precision in the bass notes with this unit, as well as the different sound textures (i.e. the difference between a baroque string bass, tuba/bass trombone, synth bass, and bass guitar, for example.) One can of course turn up the bass volume on the subwoofer for specific pieces of music, as required....! The music on which I want to hear more bass, is basically everything, ranging from rock and prog, to classical, big orchestral sounds, organ music, and electronic music. And so far, I am pleased to say that this subwoofer can handle all of it. It is also important of course to test and adjust your system using a selection of music that actually does have a range and variety of proper recorded 16' sounds, and to start from very low volume and pass filter settings, and work up to the level that sounds right for you. (Generally: "less is definitely more"...!) I have the volume on 1/4 of the max., and the pass filter (crossover) is set 1/2 way between 30 Hz and the max 160 Hz on the control knob dial (although the spec. suggests the range is 38-200 Hz.) but these settings adjustments will of course vary for everyone's different equipment, set-up, and personal tastes. The sleep mode mentioned by some is not an issue for me as I would simply switch the subwoofer off when not in use... In any case the sleep mode seems to work/wake up completely correctly. There is a sense of having a 'powerful, slumbering beast' that always has comfortably much more capacity in reserve than is being used, and could cope very easily with any levels of bass sounds one might wish to throw at it, and more.... if required. In general, I would recommend the acquisition of a subwoofer, as a very cost-effective way of getting more out of an existing sound system, without massive, expensive upgrades of amplifier and speakers. The unit actually measures approx. 25 cm (width) x 35.5 cm (depth, including space for the jacks and vol. / pass filter control knobs) x 28.5 cm (height) which is not as stated - I think the dimensions given online are the packaged size. It initially looked a little bigger than I expected when I picked up the box in which it was shipped, but it tucks away in a corner, effectively just about a square foot box, without taking up too much space, and the understated black design is very unobtrusive. RE: auto standby, after a month or so, I also take the point made by other reviewers. I had the unit once switch to standby [the standby timing is set at 20 mins, with no bass signal] with low recorded volume and a passage of music with little/no 16'. I agree, it would have been better to be able to turn that function on/off manually. However, I actually don't mind turning the subwoofer on again to get the 16' back under such (fairly rare) circumstances. It may also be a question of adjusting the crossover point, so that the unit does not miss out on receiving a signal.

Eu possuo um amplificador integrado Denon PMA-800ne, sem saída para subwoofer, porém, há saída Recorder que está atrelada a todas as entradas RCAs analógicas, então usei-a para conectar no Adifier T5. Saí da saída Recorder do PMA-800ne um cabo RCA e conecta-se no T5. Simples. O problema agora é o corte de frequência, já que o Subwoofer T5 vai até 160hz. Como minhas caixas começam em 60hz, fiz o cálculo (Entre 30hz e 160hz do T5) e coloquei no ponto 9 no potenciômetro que marca entre 30 e 160z, que corresponde entre 70 e 80hz. Desta forma preenche a queda dos graves na caixa de som. Eu usei o ChatGPT para me ajudar no cálculo e escolher o melhor ponto, passando os dados das caixas e subwoofer. O T5 é ótimo e fica melhor em músicas clássicas, que ficam mais encorpadas.

「良いところ」 ・安い、セールもよくやってる ・edifierスピーカーの多くに使える ・実用的で必要十分な出力 ・全面カバーon,off両方で使える 「悪いところ」 ・この価格を考えれば特になし 「好みの問題」 ・輪郭がやや弱めの低音なので粒のハッキリした低音を求める方は満足しないかもしれない その分逆に日本の住宅事情を考えると使える人が多い印象 「どんな人にオススメするか」 ・edifire商品を使っている方全員 ・一般的な住宅環境の方 「どんな人にオススメしないか」 ・広ーいリビングで使う予定の方 ・輪郭のハッキリした音を求めている方 価格と品質のコスパ抜群なサブウーファーでedifireユーザーの強い味方。 実用的な出力と輪郭のまろやかな低音は、日本の住環境を考えるとちょうどいいかもしれない。 手持ちのBose Bass Module 700みたいな高出力、硬い低音だとちょっと出力を上げるとすぐ地震が起き、一般的な日本の住環境ではオーバースペックだと感じる。 よほど広いリビングでない限りはこれくらいの性能とパワーで問題ないと思います。

Qualitativ hochwertiger, schwerer Subwoofer. Ein Stern Abzug wegen de UK Kaltgeräte-Steckers. Sehr gute Preis-Leistung.
