Can I Add a Subwoofer to the Edifier R1280Ts?

Yes. The R1280Ts includes a dedicated Sub Out port on the rear of the active speaker. To connect a subwoofer: (1) run your source into the R1280Ts RCA inputs as normal, (2) connect an RCA cable from the Sub Out jack to your powered subwoofer's input, and (3) set the subwoofer's crossover and level to taste. Use a self-powered (active) subwoofer — the Sub Out is a line-level output and does not power passive subs.

Sub Out Not Working? Quick Fixes

Confirm your subwoofer is powered on and set to line-in / RCA input.
Check the RCA cable is fully seated in the Sub Out jack.
Raise the subwoofer's own gain knob — the Sub Out level follows the speaker's volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a subwoofer to the Edifier R1280Ts?

Yes. The R1280Ts has a dedicated Sub Out line-level jack. Connect it via RCA cable to any powered (active) subwoofer, then adjust the sub's crossover and gain.

How do I connect a subwoofer to the Edifier R1280Ts?

Run an RCA cable from the Sub Out port on the back of the active speaker to your powered subwoofer's line input, power on the sub, and dial in its level and crossover settings.

What should I do if the R1280Ts Sub Out is not working?

Verify the subwoofer is powered and set to RCA/line input, fully seat the RCA cable in Sub Out, and raise the sub's gain — Sub Out output follows the speaker's volume level. Use only active subwoofers.

Is the R1280Ts good value compared to similar bookshelf speakers?

Warm, room-filling sound

These speakers replaced a soundbar in my living room and honestly the difference is night and day. The 4-inch mid-bass gives vocals and acoustic guitar a richness I wasn't expecting at this price. The Sub Out means I can add a sub later without swapping anything out. Build quality feels solid with the real MDF cabinets.

Great value at this sale price

The R1280Ts sounds far better than what $74.50 should get you. Bass is warm rather than punchy, so if you want thumping lows you'll want the sub output. Remote control and the treble/bass knobs on the back are handy. Only complaint: the wires between speakers are a bit short for wider setups.
