EDIFIER R980T. Active loudspeaker review, and a look inside.

[@bukalex1]

Hey, that's the best speaker review I've seen! Thank you Sir!

[@eqrandomfinds]

That was a detailed review. Thank you, sir.

[@ymelfilm]

Thank you, loved your video and your humble style! What a great educator you are!

[@MichaelBeeny]

Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated.

checked out online the Edifier MR4 - they can be better for amateur music making projects at home@@MichaelBeeny

Great review, i bought the beautifull 1280 T Edifiers after you reviewed them. Am very pleased with them. Got them hooked up on a Pro-Ject Debut turntable and Phonobox Amp.

Thank You first for your honesty and for telling us how it really is!

[@MichaelBeeny]

Thank you Vahan, most appreciated.

[@franklekwan5860]

Very good review. Can you show your testing process and the equipment you are using?

[@Natatae_ako]

Learned a lot, thanks!

Hello, the third IC, the SGS one could be the audio DSP, maybe it has some RC that control the max/min of bass and treble

[@nonsuch]

Just FYI that 3.3uf non-polarized capacitor on the tweeter is the 1st order crossover for it. The only reason I'm mentioning it is because you said there's no crossover. 🥂

[@MichaelBeeny]

I guess a single capacitor just about qualifies as a crossover!

[@MichaelBeeny]

You might think reviews are genuine and un biased on Amazon, but for some reason they refused to publish my review. Do you think it was something I said??

[@MichaelBeeny]

Follow up video showing how to make a crossover and fit it. Almost anyone should be able to up date the speakers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIvXg36crr2reNk

Hi Michael, I was wondering if you can help with this question. I have a monitor audio subwoofer model ASW 210 that comes with dual driver (2 10 inch drivers). I discovered the fuse was burned, with a rating of 1.25 amp. Not able to buy the correct 1.25 amp fuse replacement, I was able to find some 1, 2 , 3, and 5 amps fuse. I placed the 1, 2 and 3 fuses to test and it all burned out right away. With the 5 amps fuse, I was able to get the amplifier to turn on with the red light signal for power. But when I switched it on, there is a loud hum. What would be my best solution for this? Would replacing the amplifier with an amplifier made for a single driver work since all I can find is a single driver amplifier with the same amplifier plate size. I know this sub is very old, but I think they were really well built back then and I would prefer using it over cheap mass built sub woofers today. Nice content by the way, I was considering buying this Edifier speaker to add with my 5.1 system to turn it into a 7.1 for Atmost sound technology since there is so many good reviews on amazon.

Hi Michael, After sending you my last message, I discovered the 5 amp also burned out. I took a look at the amplifier and it seem like a large coil connected to the by the power line got pretty hot. Could this be the problem?

[@MichaelBeeny]

The fuse is to protect the amplifier in case of a fault. The amplifier is clearly damaged, hence blowing the fuse. Replacing it with larger fuses is a good way to start a fire!! An amplifier is not made for a specific number of drive units but a specific impedance. I cannot advise on this sub as I have know knowledge of it.

[@ricetogo]

So as long as long as I can get a good amplifier, it should work right?

[@MichaelBeeny]

@@ricetogo Most drive units are 8 ohms, so two in parallel will be 4 ohms. Not always the case, one reason I don't like to give advice on stuff I don't know. Just make sure the amplifier is made for 4 ohms. Don't forget the sub will need a crossover at about 100/120 hz. You cant just connect any amplifier to the speakers. The original sub will have this as part of the circuit.

[@ricetogo]

Good to know, I thank you Michale

[@keybutnolock]

Nice one, thanks.

Hey! I was wondering if you had any idea if these would work for a turntable setup. I have an atlp60, which has a built in pre-amp and an rca connection. Can I just plug the left rca output into one speaker and the right output into the other? I don’t know anything about speakers and it is a headache trying to get information out of a sea of KZbin videos. If these don’t work would you have any recommendations for some okay, but cheap active speakers.

[@MichaelBeeny]

Hi Aaron. The short answer is probably!! If it has a ceramic (cheap) cartridge it should feed directly into the speakers. A better turntable with a magnetic cartridge will need a preamp with RIAA correction. These days many are fitted internally with such things. As I have no way of knowing what you have you can only try it, nothing will be damaged. If it sounds good all is OK but if the sound is very weak and no bass, it will need a preamp with RIAA EQ. Good luck.

[@aaronmull1916]

Ok thank you!

[@monseeee-iy8wm]

are they Bluetooth ???

[@MichaelBeeny]

No, not this version.
