S3000MKII Wireless Speakers

THE CROWN JEWEL

 OF AUDIO


The S3000 is back and improved, but still in its unique beastly look. 


The NEW S3000MKII by Edifier has all the features of its predecessor the S3000Pro, and a lot more. Still boasting that 256RMS watts output power but now with a better audio and bluetooth chip. 

That’s not all, the S3000MKII is now supported by the Edifier Connex app and this is truly a game changer but we will get the details and controls of the app a bit later. 


First, let’s take a detailed look at what’s changed in the design.

Design and Build


When it comes to aesthetics, both the S3000MKII and S3000Pro have a similar design, featuring a classic wooden finish that gives them a premium look. They are both built with high-quality materials, ensuring durability and a sleek aesthetic. While both models have a similar aesthetic, the S3000MKII has some refinements in its build quality, making it slightly more robust and durable. Looking at the design, doesn’t look like anything has changed visually, but take another look.


Sound Quality


The S3000MKII also offers impressive sound quality, with similar components to the S3000Pro. However, it uses the Texas instruments and XMOS XU216 chips.



The Edifier S3000MKII is known for its exceptional sound quality, making it a popular choice among audiophiles. 


Here are some key aspects of its power and clarity:


High Resolution Audio: The S3000MKII supports digital audio signals up to 192kHz/24Bit, which exceeds the current Hi-Res standards. This allows for highly accurate and detailed sound reproduction.


Balanced Sound Profile: The speakers deliver a well-balanced sound with clear highs, detailed mids, and deep, punchy bass. This makes them suitable for a wide range of music generes and audio content. 


Wireless Connectivity: The S3000MKII features wireless connectivity between the left and right speakers. So, there is no speaker cable connected between the speakers to ensure a clean setup without compromising on the sound quality.


Powerful Output: With a total output of 256W RMS, these speakers can fill a rooom with rich, immersive sound, making them ideal for both casual listening and more critical audio tasks. 


Advanced Driver Units: The speakers are equipped with high-quality driver units that contribute to their precise and dynamic sound performance. 


Connectivity: The S3000MKII offers more versatile connectivity options, including Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, which provides higher quality wireless audio streaming.


Amplification: The S3000MKII features a more powerful amplification system, which can deliver better performance, especially at higher volumes.


XLR Inputs: The Edifier S3000MKII speakers feature balanced XLR inputs. These connections are designed to provide high-quality audio input with minimal noise and interference, making them ideal for professional audio setups.


Here’s a quick overview of the XLR connections:


Location: The XLR ports are located on the back of the right speaker unit.

Purpose: They allow you to connect audio source devices like CD players or decoders using XLR balanced audio cables. 

Input Sensitivity: The XLR input sensitivity is rated 1000 ± 50mV5.


These features make the S3000MKII a great choice for anyone looking to achieve studio-quality sound in their home audio setup.



ConneX app:

I really appreciate the convenience the Edifier Connex app brings to the table. Edifier understands the frustration of losing a remote control, whether the kids went swimming with it or the family dog had it for lunch, the Connex app has all the remote’s features and more.

APP SUPPORT WITH THE EDIFIER Connex app
Once you connect the speakers to the app, you don’t need to use the remote anymore because everything that you do with the remote is also possible with the app. So, the app not only offers basic controls like pause, play, skip music, and volume control, but it also gives you access to its EQ controls. 

The Connex app allows you to customize a speaker sound profile, whether you want it to be the default profile, a vocal-focused profile, or even a dynamic profile, the dynamic profile is my personal preferred profile as it does give a much fuller sound experience. And of course, you can create your own custom sound profile by adjusting the frequency sliders on the app. Another noteworthy feature of the app is that you can select which connection you want to use for the speakers. You can switch between Bluetooth and other various wired connections by simply selecting them through the app.

I know this article is based on the S3000MKII, but I just feel that this system is not complete without the SS03 sand fillable speaker stands.

These stands are specially made for the S3000, whether it be the Pro or the MKII. Guys, there is no pondering required, give Edifier your money and be sure to include the stands. You will not regret owning this powerful system.
