I have a problem with Edifier R1855DB Sub Out volume. It might be a common issue, since some people reported the same problem on reddit:
/ edifier_r1855db_t5_sub...
www.reddit.com/r/BudgetAudiop...
UPDATE:
Since Edifier didn't confirm that this is a manufacturing issue, not a design flaw, I returned both R1855DB speakers and T5 subwoofer. It might be incidental but I didn't want to risk it. - Фільми й анімація
I have the 1850db. I had a setup with a creative labs X3 with dedicated sub out and everything was working smoothly. I switched to a Loxjie D30 DAC and had to use the sub out from the edifiers : same issue as yours! I guess I will use your routing trick. Thanks!
This setup impact sound quality?
I bit the bullet and bought it anyway. The sub out signal has still enough power for my small apartment room, but I would'nt believe it's powerful enough for a living room, let alone a home cinema. I've got my volume set at 12'o clock
Once I switch the input it can get very loud, as like in the video
This problem has been tormenting me for a very long time, I have almost the same bunch of R1850DB + T5 and I wanted to use my TV through SPDIF, but the sub out is absolutely useless, the subwoofer practically does not work, but if you send a signal to the subwoofer, and from it to the speakers, then everything is fine, I might have calmed down and left this connection option, but I want to use the digital output. Are there any ideas how this can be solved and is it possible at all
You can solve this problem with a cheap preamplifier, see my post.
i have the same speakers, is it worth to get the subwoofer?
Did you try adjusting bass knob to max from r1855db speaker itself while connected from sub out ?
As far as I remember that knob only changed bass volume on the speakers themselves, but not on external subwoofer. I've returned the speakers, so can't confirm it any more.
Tripplechecked, still same issue, persists. At first I thought it doesn't, but after double checking can confirm that it doesn't work.
After watching this video I was scared to purchase T5 SUB FOR MY EDIFIER 1855DB. However, after lots of research I finally purchased the T5. And honestly telling you what explosive sound outcome with EDIFIER T5 AND EDIFIER 1855DB with subout cable. The heart and mind will vibrate on the bass and the rhythm of music.
Seems like different units are more or less affected by this issue. I'm glad it works in your case.
@@burnsnewman I used amazon basics subout cable. Instead of the cable i received with the T5 product. That cable is not even open from the packet.
@@rahuljha4292I just bought mine and so dissapointed as the t5 is so quiet if I didnt cranked it up to 90%. I wonder is the problem source come from the 3.5mm to rca cable that came with edifier speaker or you just lucky to get a perfectly fine sub out. If you dont mind, I wish you can help me try out your speaker with the cable came from the box so I can decide to purchase a new cable. Thanks man
@@rahuljha4292 i use the cable came with the edifier T5 in the box to connect with edifier r1855db through sub out.
@@rahuljha4292 I connect from edifier t5 signal in to edifier r1855db sub out
One last question, do you know if this problem only occurs when connecting the R1855DB with the T5!? connecting it optically. Or see if connecting it to the R2000DB works without problem
I only tried connecting T5 sub with R1855DB speakers. I didn't try optical connection, only RCA and bluetooth. Same problem with both connections, on 2 different computers (RCA) and a phone (bluetooth). I already returned both sub and speakers, so can't test it with anything else.
Thanks. Very grateful for your response.
Im using r1855db and t5 sub. Its worked. I think yours is broken, have you tried reaching edifier? But my only problem is when i turn off the r1855db my t5 sub making loud "boom" sound ( t5 conected to r1855db via sub out)
To avoid that boom sound, you need to turn off the T5 speaker first before the r1855db, otherwise in a long term it can damage your T5.
That’s the basic principle just like you need to turn the speaker first before the mixer, otherwise all the speakers that connected to that mixer will have that boom sound.
ok i now am thinking of adding this sub to a set of Edifier R2850DB's.....for movies and TV....your thoughts ?
I'm not an expert, but I'd give it a try. I think adding a subwoofer like the T5 should improve experience a lot, especially when it comes to action movies and music.
@@burnsnewman thx for your response...cheers
did this and also got a dac for easier volume control and bluetooth
Please, Anyone who bought a similar setup recently could say if the problem persists?
Yes
Mine have other problem , all ports are signal in
Thank you for the video!
Did you tried to:
a. Adjust the "Phase selection", on the subwoofer's back?
b. Follow the instructions on the subwoofer's manual, to adjust volume?
I think a. "Phase selection" is to blame here.
Hence, my question.
I did. Didn't notice any difference.
@@burnsnewman thank you for your prompt reply.
That is why getting a dac would resolve this issue.
Does anyone have this problem using r1280dbs + T5? I’m tending to buy this setup and I think this is not a issue with this combo, but if someone did have this problem even with this setup please let me know. Thank you!
same question im having now... how did it workout ???
I have a r1280dbs + T5 using subout and sub works fine.
got it working now ^^ r1280dbs--> t5 works for me too @@ckunha
I have the R1855DB and I want to put the T5 sub on it but with this information, I don't know whether to buy it. Because if you connect the sub to the R1855 the volume will have problems and it will sound very soft. It's not worth much
Can't you try it out and return if you're not happy with how it sounds? In EU there's a 2 week period to return your online purchase, without providing a reason. Don't know about other regions/countries.
I have a pair of 2750DB with the same issue. The sub out is no useable.
Just posted a solution using a cheap preamplifier to boost the sub out.
No problem with the t3000 speakers just great
Did you ever tried to invert the phase?
I did. It didn't do any difference.
Same issue in my setup :(
Using this with a polk sub at 35% volume all good
same issue here. any solution found?
I've returned my speakers and sub.
@@burnsnewmanwhy not keep it connected to the sub like you showed it worked?
You can solve this issue with a cheap preamplifier, see my post.
must conect blind amplifier 'normaly' that pre-out subwoofer have processed subwoofer i think.
zzz bruh, today i bought edifier r1855db, should i plan buy another subwoofer?
or buy edifier t5? lmao, even with same company product, there is a problem? its not even plug and play?
T5 is the recommended sub for these speakers (by Edifier). Maybe your unit will not be affected. I'd buy the subwoofer right away and if there's a problem - return it. I don't know where are you from and how did you buy it, but here in EU you can return stuff bought over internet in 2 weeks, without providing a reason. I actually returned mine after few months and they still accepted the return. If you do that, let me know the outcome. Maybe you'll be lucky and it will work fine right away.
Would you still recommend getting these speakers?? I just ordered mine and I plan to connect it with my pc without any subwoofer
Can you resolver the problem?
I returned both speakers and subwoofer.
i have this problem in A80 ...
Same problem in A80 ... with T5 i reclamate ...
their is the db S speaker ... with line out for subwoofer ..
These R1855DB speakers do have the "sub out" line (as you can see in the video). And Edifier support says T5 subwoofer is the recommended sub for these speakers.
im planing to pair this t5 on my DBs edifier speakers i hope its ok
@@burnsnewman
your suggestion of putting the line in to t5 first then to the dbs works for me @@burnsnewman im ready for Christmas and new year's party ^^ tnx for the post
With my old Yamaha yst-sw005 subwoofer, it works well, no problems.
Those are r1280dbs
No, they're not.
This setup impact sound quality?
If you're using RCA, probably not, but it limits other connection options. For example, you can't use bluetooth or optical connection.
best is to use a dac ... mine i only use my pc for source
so its ok ..@@burnsnewman
@@markanthonypraico3099Would you be saying that if I connect my R1855 to the TV via optical, and connect a DAC to the R1855 and connect the SUB from the DAC?
no no need of DAC r1855 has a sub out already
@@Cornivus7
oohh but if you still insist on using a DAC for volume control i presume ..id go for pc>DAC>t5 sub>r1855 ....... but for more balanced and no need of super loud out put pc > r1855 > use sub out > t5 subwoofer
