The 48-watt RMS system lacks iPod/iPhone dock. The left-right drivers consist of a 2.75-inch midrange and 19mm dome tweeter. All three pieces are magnetically shielded.


 Other features include bass-level adjustment on the subwoofer enclosure, wired remote controller with headphone output and auxiliary input, and separate auxiliary input on the subwoofer enclosure.

 It lacks Apt-X or AAC decoding question but supports Sub Band Codec (SBC) High Quality decoding, which delivers music at 328kbps vs. Middle Quality 229kbps or Low Quality 201kbps.

 The Prisma BT is available in black, silver or white.

 A Bluetooth speaker in the works is the $299 Breathe Bluetooth, which includes iPod/iPhone dock on top and auxiliary input. The semicircular single-chassis speaker boasts 60-watt RMS output, two silk-dome tweeters, two midrange drivers, and a 6.5-inch down-firing subwoofer with magnetic shielding. It features loudness compensation for improved bass and treble performance at low listening levels.

These models join three current Bluetooth speakers in the lineup: the $349 Spinnaker, the $299 Esiena Bluetooth and the $79 Tick Tock. The Spinnaker consists of two horn-shaped triamplified speakers. The Esiena Bluetooth is a single-chassis tabletop iPod/iPhone-docking FM radio with alarm, USB/SD card reader and auxiliary input. And the Tick Tock is a speaker that looks like an old-fashioned mechanical alarm clock with a round face.

At least four new Bluetooth products are due in the coming months, and most will not replace existing models, a spokesperson said.

 All are available at Edifier.us.com.

The Beijing-based speaker company distributes products in more than 60 countries.
