Edifier R1280T Powered Speaker Review

[Audiotea]

Hello,
forgive my question if it doesn't make sense (i'm noob).

I just bought the Edifier R1700bt speakers.

Are these presets compatible with those speakers?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Here is my take on the EQ.
The resulting EQ is very close to the initial seed i.e. flat LW with also abounds to the "easy to EQ" direction.
Using EQ APO or similar to keep with the low cost may result in a very cost effective system, within the SPL limits of the speaker.

No EQ score: 1.97

EQ design:
the EQ version needs to be boosted quite a bit for A/B tests so the overall max SPL may be lower than the raw speaker

Great gains:

But the vertical directivity is rather poor because of the high Xover point (similar to the Dynaudio LDY 5) :

best to listen off axis at +15/20deg

The rest of the data is attached.

I know this is an old post but I had a question, the eq is applied and the bass and treble knob are kept at 0 and 0 right?

Yes.

EQ is applied to get the speakers more neutral and then bass and treble are set to taste.

Hello all.
Can someone please share the link were I can find both EQ setting from @amirm or @Maiky76 ?
Thank you.

So I managed to install the EQ settings with Equalizer APO, is It normal the difference in volume between no EQ and the EQ of @Maiky76 ?

Thank you once again

Not sure about @Maiky76 , but you can find Amirs EQ at spinorama.org: https://www.spinorama.org/eqs.html?sort=date&reverse=false&search=R1280T

Usually you can also find some very good EQ variations in the first pages of the review thread.

This might be the right time to get a measurement microphone (such as a MiniDSP UMIK1) and REW and not only use EQ optimised for flat or preference score in an imaginary room, but optimize your own EQ-settings for YOUR room and listening position.
You will thank yourself later

Also: welcome to ASR

Thank you very much for sharing.

This file as one more EQ line in the end, did he updated the original one?

I apologize, please remove that last line from that file. I happen to add that once upon a time while testing it and forgot to remove it.
