The Edifier D32 Speaker blends classic design with AirPlay and portable playtime through a retro-inspired tabletop system that integrates modern wireless technologies and an internal rechargeable battery. The unit’s hand-made wooden cabinet, braided grille, and piano-style control panel give it a vintage look while Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC codec support allows high-resolution streaming from compatible devices and dual-band Wi-Fi with Apple AirPlay 2 enables network audio playback.
The speaker delivers up to 60 W RMS total output via dual silk-dome tweeters and a long-throw mid-low driver configured in a 2.1 architecture, with dual bass reflex ports designed to enhance low-end response. A built-in battery supplies about 11 hours of continuous music before requiring recharge, and the system also supports USB-C and AUX inputs for wired sources. The Edifier Connect App can be used to adjust EQ settings and integrate the speaker into a multi-room setup with other supported units.
