Product description
The essentials
If you want bookshelf-style speakers for a PC desk or a simple home TV setup, the Elimavi Active Bookshelf Speakers are built around a straightforward idea: give you a powered 2.0-style sound output with sub-bass support from two 4-inch woofers, plus the controls and inputs to make them easy to live with.
On paper, this is the sort of kit that fits the everyday reality of most living rooms and studies. You can mount them with the included wall mounting clips, tuck them into a bookcase or TV cabinet, or just place them on a desktop. The value proposition here is less about audiophile “chasing detail” and more about getting proper stereo sound with bass coming from real drivers, without needing an external amp.
What they’re for (and where they fit)
These are active bookshelf speakers (a 2.0 system) aimed at people who mainly listen from a computer and want an easy step up from typical monitor or small desktop audio. The connection options matter for that: you get 3.5mm and RCA input/output interfaces for PC and home surround sound style setups.
A practical example: imagine a home office session where you’re using a laptop/PC for videos and music. You connect via the included 3.5mm–RCA cable, set a comfortable volume, and then nudge the high- and low-frequency adjustments to suit what you’re watching. If you prefer a cleaner look, the wall-mount clips let you avoid speaker stands entirely.
It’s also a decent fit if your priority is a tidy TV audio arrangement. The design is described as classic and low-profile, with a wood-grain style finish and an understated panel, so it’s less likely to look “out of place” next to furniture.
Key points
The system is designed to deliver full-frequency stereo sound effects, using dual 4-inch woofers as the bass foundation, while also offering volume plus high- and low-frequency adjustments. That matters day to day because it gives you more control over how bright or how bassy it feels.
You also get flexibility in placement: wall mounted installation using the included clips, corner placement, desktop use in a study, and hidden-in-a-cabinet options are all explicitly supported.
Still, there’s a limitation you should keep in mind: as a powered 2.0 bookshelf speaker set, it’s not positioned as something that replaces a full multi-speaker surround system. If you’re expecting “cinema-style” surround imaging from one small pair, you may find it comes up short depending on the content.

Where it shines (and where to be cautious)
What stands out is the combination of bass drivers and everyday usability. Dual 4-inch woofers, plus the ability to adjust high and low frequencies, gives you a way to shape the sound without additional gear.
The finish and construction approach is also sensible for normal rooms. The wood material is said to reduce acoustic resonance, which is the kind of practical design choice that can help keep sound cleaner rather than boomy.
That said, you’ll want to avoid assuming “big-system” performance from compact speakers. They’re a sensible desk/room speaker pair, but they won’t behave like large floorstanders or dedicated sub-bass setups.
Also, placement can make a noticeable difference. The option to wall-mount or hide in a cabinet is convenient, but if you fully enclose them or block vents/positions awkwardly, you could end up with less balance than you expected.
Getting the most from them
Setup is fairly direct: the package includes the main speaker with a power cord, an auxiliary speaker, and connection cables between them. Use the included wall mounting clips if you want them off your desks, otherwise placing them in a corner of your room or on a desktop is an option.
If you’re tuning for different uses, start with volume at a comfortable level, then adjust the high-frequency and low-frequency controls gradually. It’s a “small tweaks” job rather than a one-shot setting—especially when moving between films and music.
If you’re using TV audio via RCA/3.5mm, double-check which output your device actually provides. Getting the right cable into the right socket is often where people waste time with speaker kits like this.
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you want an easy-to-install, powered bookshelf speaker pair for PC and TV use, and you like the idea of controlling volume plus high/low frequency without buying an external amp. The included mounting clips and the 3.5mm/RCA connectivity are practical touches for real homes.
Better avoided if you’re chasing a full surround experience from just two speakers, or if you’re sensitive to placement changes and want “set-and-forget” performance in a fully enclosed cabinet.
If your expectations are realistic—stereo sound with adjustable tonal balance and bass from 4-inch woofers—this looks like a practical pick for everyday listening.
Mini FAQ

What should I expect from 2.0 sound?
