Why Buy From Soundtrails

The EDIFIER R1580MB is best positioned as a compact professional active speaker system rather than a conventional hi-fi bookshelf speaker. Its combination of stereo amplification, Bluetooth, analogue connectivity and dual microphone inputs makes it particularly useful where one compact system needs to handle both music playback and spoken-word applications.
