Elipson Horus 6B Active BT

Elipson Horus 6B Active BT

Active 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers with HDMI ARC, Phono, USB Audio and aptX HD Bluetooth

The Elipson Horus 6B Active BT is a pair of active bookshelf speakers built for customers who want a proper stereo system without needing a separate amplifier. Elipson describes it as the active version of the Horus 6B, with built-in 2 x 50W RMS amplification and a broad range of inputs for vinyl, TV, computer audio and wireless streaming.

This is a tidy all-in-one speaker system for real-world use. Elipson lists Phono MM, AUX, USB Audio, Optical, Coaxial, TV/ARC, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD and a subwoofer output, which means it can anchor a lounge-room hi-fi, desktop system or TV setup without a separate amp stack.

Active Stereo Simplicity

Real hi-fi without a separate amplifier

The biggest appeal of the Horus 6B Active BT is that the amplification is already built in. Elipson rates the internal amplifier at 2 x 50W RMS, which makes the pair self-contained and much easier to live with than a traditional separates system.

• Simple two-channel systems
• TV sound upgrades
• Vinyl setups
• Desktop or lounge-room hi-fi systems
• Customers wanting fewer boxes in the room

2-Way Bass Reflex Design

Bookshelf size with proper hi-fi intent

Elipson describes the Horus 6B Active BT as a 2-way bass reflex speaker. It uses a 130mm mid-bass driver made from cellulose pulp reinforced with fiberglass, along with a 25mm silk dome tweeter driven by a neodymium magnet. Elipson says this combination is designed to deliver rich, precise and natural sound reproduction.

• Better bass extension from a compact cabinet
• Fuller midrange than many desktop-style speakers
• More natural stereo presentation
• A more serious hi-fi feel from a bookshelf format

Built-In Connectivity for Real-World Use

Turntable, TV, computer and Bluetooth all covered

Connectivity is one of the strongest parts of this speaker. Elipson lists the following inputs and outputs:

• Phono MM input for direct turntable connection
• AUX input for analogue sources
• USB Audio up to 24-bit / 96kHz
• Optical and Coaxial inputs up to 24-bit / 192kHz
• TV / HDMI ARC
• Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD
• Subwoofer output at 150Hz / 12dB per octave

That is the sort of feature set that makes these speakers easy to recommend because they cover most of the sources customers actually use every day.

TV and Vinyl Friendly

More useful than a lot of active speaker systems

A lot of active speakers cover streaming and not much else. The Horus 6B Active BT goes further by including both MM phono and HDMI ARC, so it can handle a turntable and a television in the same room without extra fuss.

• Apartment lounge-room systems
• Music-first TV rooms
• Customers moving from a soundbar into real stereo
• Vinyl users wanting a simpler setup with fewer boxes

Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD

Better wireless playback for everyday streaming

Elipson specifies Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, which gives the Horus 6B Active BT a stronger wireless feature set than a lot of basic active speakers. It is there to make everyday streaming from phones, tablets and computers simple while keeping sound quality respectable.

Subwoofer Output for System Expansion

Easy path to bigger bass

Elipson also includes a subwoofer output rated at 150Hz / 12dB per octave, which means the system can be expanded if more low-end weight is needed for movies, gaming or larger-room listening.

That is a useful touch because the speakers can start as a simple stereo pair and later become a more substantial 2.1 setup.

The Audio Experts Take

The Horus 6B Active BT makes a lot of sense for customers who want a proper stereo system without going through the usual amplifier-and-source-component path. Built-in amplification, TV ARC, phono and aptX HD Bluetooth make it a very easy speaker to place in real homes.

What stands out here is the balance. It covers vinyl, TV and streaming in one tidy package, but still keeps the look and feel of a genuine hi-fi bookshelf speaker rather than a lifestyle shortcut. For the right buyer, that is a very smart bit of kit.
