Key strengths
Wired inputs include balanced XLR, optical, coaxial, RCA line in and USB Type-B (USB Audio Class 2.0, up to 192 kHz).
No speaker cable runs between cabinets: the two active speakers are factory-paired over a proprietary 5.8 GHz link.

The S3000MKII is a pair of two active speakers connected to each other wirelessly on 5.8 GHz, each with a planar magnetic tweeter and a 6.5-inch aluminium mid-low driver, rated 256 W RMS in total. The right speaker hosts balanced XLR, optical, coaxial, USB-B, RCA line and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD.

Wired inputs include balanced XLR, optical, coaxial, RCA line in and USB Type-B (USB Audio Class 2.0, up to 192 kHz).
No speaker cable runs between cabinets: the two active speakers are factory-paired over a proprietary 5.8 GHz link.
Each cabinet needs its own mains socket, and the published mains voltage and regional cord details are absent.
Large (222 × 360 × 268 mm per speaker; 20 kg listed net weight) and XLR/coaxial cables are not supplied.

18 specifications in 7 groups. Values are manufacturer specifications unless a row says “Measured result” or “Calculated from cited specifications”.
Inputs and display are on the right speaker (R); the left speaker (L) needs its own mains connection. The speakers are factory-paired. Edifier states the 5.8 GHz link carries digital signals up to 24bit/96kHz between the two active speakers.
Long-throw aluminium-diaphragm mid-low driver per speaker; Edifier gives 179 mm alongside.
No tolerance (dB) published.
All inputs are on the right speaker. Edifier lists USB, optical and coaxial each at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz and 192 kHz. Windows needs a driver for high-resolution USB audio. XLR and coaxial cables are not included.
Edifier: aptX HD supports audio signals with sampling depth up to 24 bits and sample rate up to 48kHz.
SourceManufacturer RMS amplifier rating per driver band and channel; load impedance and distortion basis not published.
Edifier: the speaker system, driven by these amplifiers, can deliver 256 W (RMS) total output power (see power).
Edifier's UK/US pages and manual do not publish the mains voltage or regional cord differences; do not assume cross-region use.
SourceEdifier's UK and US specification tables list 'Net Weight: 20kg' without stating whether it is per speaker or for the pair (the dimensions on the same tables are marked per speaker), so no like-for-like weight is asserted.
Edifier: all the digital interfaces support 24bit/192kHz processing (XMOS XU216 digital signal processing up to 24bit/192kHz); the analogue audio front end works at 24bit/96kHz.
