Phil-Jones designed active monitors
The Edifier Airpulse A80 is a Hi-Res Audio certified active bookshelf speaker system designed by audio engineer Phil Jones. It integrates amplification and digital processing into a single cabinet pair, removing the need for a separate amplifier. The system targets listeners who want lossless playback from multiple digital and analogue sources.
18-mm MDF cabinets with multiple wired
Each speaker uses an 18-mm thick high-strength MDF enclosure with a walnut finish. Internal wiring uses TRANSPARENT cable to minimise signal loss. Connectivity covers Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX, optical, USB, PC and AUX inputs, plus a subwoofer output for adding low-frequency extension. The USB interface relies on an XMOS implementation for uncompressed audio streaming.
Horn-loaded ribbon tweeter
A unique horn-loaded aluminium ribbon tweeter pairs with a proprietary 4.5-inch aluminium cone mid-woofer to deliver three-dimensional imaging. Independent treble and bass controls let the listener adjust high-frequency brightness and low-frequency quantity to suit the room. The bundle includes the necessary cables and a remote control for convenient operation.

Questions about this item
How much bass extension can the 4.5-inch mid-woofer deliver before a subwoofer is needed?
The 4.5-inch aluminum cone mid-woofer handles mid-bass, and a dedicated subwoofer output is provided for deeper low-frequency rendering when required.
Does the built-in amplifier run hot or noisy during all-day playback?
The Class D amplifier is housed in an 18-mm MDF cabinet designed for thermal stability, so it stays cool and silent during extended listening sessions.
Which source devices can connect directly without extra adapters?
Bluetooth 5.0 aptX, optical, USB, AUX and PC inputs are all built in, letting you plug in a phone, computer, TV or streamer straight away.
