Review:
The Edifier R1850DB Active Bookshelf Speakers are a dynamic and versatile 2.0 system that produce quality sound and swift execution. The bass is powerful and vibrates any room or space it occupies, and the additional subwoofer output allows you to transform this model from a 2.0 system to a 2.1 system. The recent Bluetooth innovation makes it easy to connect with smartphones, tablets or PCs. The grills give you the choice of placing a grill or taking them off so you can see the beautiful tweeters and mid-range drivers. The high gloss black finish adds to the aesthetics of any audio setup. The accessories included are a wireless remote, connection cables for RCA, AUX, and Optical inputs. The input connections include RCA, RCA to AUX, Optical, Coaxial, and Subwoofer output. The remote control allows for easy adjustments of volume, input selection, and Bluetooth controls.
Pros:
- Powerful bass
- Additional subwoofer output
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Beautiful design
- Remote control included
- Multiple input connections
Cons:
- No EQ control on speakers
- No USB input
- Requires separate amplifier for passive speaker use
FAQ
Q: What cable do I need to connect this to a subwoofer through the sub out?
A: You can use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable (if the sub has a 3.5mm input) or a 3.5mm to RCA cable (if the sub has RCA inputs).
Q: Which model's of Polk Audio powered subwoofer can I use with these speakers?
A: Since a powered subwoofer only uses a line-level input signal, you are free to use ANY brand or size powered-sub that you wish. But if you want a sub that compliments the size of these 4" Edifiers, then the Polk 10" would probably be a good choice.
Q: What are the height, width, and depth measurements of these speakers?
A: The dimensions of each speaker are 6in x 10in x 8.8in (WxHxD).
Q: Is there a light somewhere that shows you what mode the speaker is in?
A: The only light is when you are in Bluetooth mode (see instructions).
Q: Do they come with the cable to connect the left and right speakers?
A: Yes, it comes with a cable. The cable length is approximately 13-15 ft, and it has custom connections on each end.
Q: What is the RMS power rating?
A: The total power output is RMS 16Wx2 + 19Wx2 = 70 watts.
Q: How do I claim my warranty if my remote stopped working after four months?
A: Contact their website support for assistance.
Q: Are these speakers loud enough for me to hear them while playing my drums along with music?
A: These speakers have a quality sound and swift execution, and they vibrate any room or space they occupy. They should be loud enough for you to hear them while playing drums, but it depends on the volume level and distance between you and the speakers.
Q: Yamaha YAS 180 soundbar vs. Edifier 1850DB. Which one is best?
A: Both products have their own unique features and capabilities. However, the Edifier 1850DB active bookshelf speakers with Bluetooth and optical input are a dynamic 2.0 system with a built-in amplifier and subwoofer line out, allowing you to add a subwoofer to transform it into a 2.1 system. They also come with a wireless remote control for convenience. Ultimately, the choice depends on your personal preferences and needs.
