Edifier S350DB - 2.1 System with 8-Inch Subwoofer

Wooden cabinets, cast aluminium frames and 150 watts divided between three types of driver. S350DB splits the work: compact satellites handle midrange and treble while an 8-inch subwoofer reaches down to 41Hz. The classic design suits any interior, while optical and coaxial inputs complement a Bluetooth connection with aptX.

Key Highlights

• 8-inch subwoofer with cast aluminium frame, reaching down to 41Hz
• 150 watts total power with tri-amplification
• Titanium tweeters and aluminium mid-bass drivers
• Bluetooth with aptX, optical and coaxial inputs

Technology & Benefits

Powerful Bass from 41Hz

The subwoofer's bass driver is 8 inches with a cast aluminium frame and long-stroke design. A metal frame doesn't resonate the way plastic does and holds the motor assembly's geometry precisely at high levels. The flared bass reflex port is calibrated specifically for this cabinet, while a 70-watt amplifier supplies the power. The result is bass reaching down to 41Hz - low enough to feel physically.

Aluminium and Titanium in the Satellites

The mid-bass drivers are 3.5 inches with aluminium alloy diaphragms and cast aluminium frames - a combination that gives a full-bodied, rich midrange. The tweeters are ¾ inch with titanium diaphragms, finely tuned for precise high-frequency reproduction. Because the satellites don't reproduce bass, they can stay compact without that being a compromise.

Tri-Amplification with Digital Processing

The DSP chipset divides the signal into three - highs, mids and lows - and the Class-D amplifier feeds each band to its respective driver separately. Power is distributed as 15 watts for the tweeters, 25 for the mid-bass drivers and 70 for the subwoofer.

Wooden Cabinets

Both the subwoofer and the satellites use all-wooden cabinets. Dense material absorbs vibration rather than turning it into a sound of its own - a problem that in plastic boxes is heard as smeared, indistinct bass. The classic design complements any decor.

Connectivity

Optical and coaxial inputs take a digital signal at 44.1 or 48kHz straight from a TV or player. Line inputs remain for a computer or turntable with preamp, while Bluetooth 5.1 with the aptX codec covers the phone at a quality above standard SBC.

Control

Side-panel knobs cover volume, bass, treble and input selection. The included remote gives access to the same functions from a distance.

Who Is It For?

S350DB is aimed at people who want proper bass but don't have room for large speakers. It suits a living room, bedroom, or duty as a TV and gaming system, where 41Hz makes a tangible difference with films.

Expert Tip from vsystem.bg

Try several positions for the subwoofer before settling on one - bass changes noticeably with location, and corners reinforce low frequencies, though not always evenly. Place the satellites close to ear level when seated. To actually hear aptX, check your phone supports it; with a device that doesn't, the connection drops to SBC. When connecting a TV, use the optical input and set PCM output in its menu.

FAQ

What's the difference from the S355DB?
S355DB is the newer model with a wireless subwoofer, HDMI eARC, USB-C input and Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC. S350DB uses a wired subwoofer connection and Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX.

What's the advantage of 2.1 over stereo?
The satellites don't have to reproduce bass and stay compact, while the subwoofer handles the low end from a separate position. Where space is limited, that's a better solution than two large speakers.

Do I need an amplifier?
No. The amplifiers are built into the system, with the source connecting directly.

Can I connect a turntable?
Yes, provided the turntable has a built-in phono preamp or you use an external one. The connection goes through either line input.

Does it have an HDMI input?
No - S350DB offers optical and coaxial inputs for a TV. For HDMI eARC, consider the S355DB.
