This means that you can adjust the volume from a distance without having to get up and manually adjust the speakers.
Step 3: If you’re using a Bluetooth turntable, make sure that it’s positioned close enough to the Edifier R1280DB speakers for a strong Bluetooth signal. If the signal is weak, you may experience dropouts or other issues with your audio quality.
