Overview
Edifier designed this powered subwoofer to add deep bass to desktop and bookshelf speakers, with a long-throw woofer, a built-in Class-D amplifier and a slim MDF cabinet. It connects by RCA to a sub out, or wires in series between the source and the main speakers.
Adjustable crossover and phase make it easy to blend with small speakers, and the slim cabinet fits beside a desk. There is no wireless link, so plan a cable run to the source or amplifier.
Who it's for
Desktop listeners, small home theaters and Edifier speaker owners get a matched, tunable bass boost. Big rooms and wireless soundbar systems call for a different sub.
Pros and cons
- Deep bass for its size
- Adjustable low-pass and phase
- Slim, low-resonance MDF cabinet
- Auto standby saves power
- Wired connection only
- Series mode needs a line-in speaker
- Bluetooth or optical speakers not supported in series
Performance notes
A long-throw driver moves more air for deeper bass, and the Class-D amplifier powers it efficiently. The low-pass filter sets where the sub hands over to the main speakers, and the phase switch lines up its timing so bass adds up instead of cancelling. The thick MDF cabinet and side port reduce resonance for tighter notes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I tune the Edifier T5s to my speakers?
Set the low-pass filter between 30Hz and 160Hz and use the phase selector (0 or 180 degrees) to blend with your main speakers.
Can I use the Edifier T5s if my speakers have no sub out?
Yes. Connect it in series: audio source to the T5s Signal In, then Signal Out to the main speaker. The main speaker needs a line input; Bluetooth, USB and optical are not supported in that mode.
