Current Edifier UK and US product-page figures; the Edifier US store gives the same values but labels the first RCA input 'RCA' instead of 'PC IN'. The 2023 manual's specification section lists no input sensitivity.

Amplifier, power & battery
2 items
- Rated power and measurement basis
- 66 W total RMS: 15 W × 2 (tweeter) + 18 W × 2 (mid-bass)
Manufacturer rating for the pair, given separately for the two tweeter channels and the two mid-bass channels; load and distortion limits not stated. Not 66 W per cabinet or mains consumption. Edifier describes a Class-D amplifier system with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Dynamic Range Control (DRC).
- Power supply
- Mains-powered: fixed power cord and power switch on the active speaker (Class II, double-insulated); operating voltage printed on the product plate
Edifier publishes no rated mains voltage/frequency for this model in its English manual or on its UK/US pages; the manual directs users to the voltage on the product plate and to a matching AC outlet. UK and US units are separate regional packages; do not assume a unit from one region works on the other's mains or plug. The manual marks its plug drawings as illustrative only.
