Features
Each Emotiva airmotiv is a fully self-contained bi-amplified powered studio monitor.
The airmotiv is a two-way design that features quality construction and engineering
throughout and incorporates discrete power amplifiers, precision active crossovers,
effective yet unobtrusive overload protection, and a wide array of professional features.
Some of the more important features of the Emotiva airmotiv include:
• Accuracy and consistency. The gain and frequency balance of each airmotiv is
factory calibrated to be within 1 dB of our reference standard.
• Emotiva’s exclusive airmotiv high-frequency transducer, which delivers
flat frequency response, low distortion, virtually nonexistent signal compression,
smooth off-axis response, superb transparency, and uncanny imaging.
• Emotiva’s airmotiv low-frequency transducer which, with its advanced Curv®
cone material and synthetic butyl rubber surround, delivers clean accurate bass and
is immune to moisture.
• Perfectly balanced sound. Together, both transducers deliver balanced full-range
sound at moderate listening levels.
• An advanced cabinet made from 18 mm MDF, with computer optimized bracing,
and a 3 mm layer of acoustic panel damping material to suppress vibration.
• A tough exterior. The front baffle sports our attractive black lacquer finish, while
the sides and back are covered with a durable heavy-duty textured vinyl laminate
that resists scuffs, water, and fingerprints.
• Plenty of clean power. The airmotiv is fully bi-amplified. The high-frequency
transducer is powered by a 100 watt RMS amplifier, while the low-frequency
transducer sports its own 110 watt RMS amplifier; both of which are fed by a
precision multi-pole active crossover.
• Effective yet unobtrusive protection, which individually protects each amplifier
and transducer and prevents dangerous overdrive conditions, but doesn’t limit
normal music peaks, or produce artifacts under normal listening conditions.
• Maximum application flexibility, with both unbalanced (RCA) and balanced
(XLR) inputs, and both high frequency and low frequency equalization adjustments.
• High quality construction throughout, including all double-sided FR4 circuit
boards, all precision resistors and precision film capacitors in the signal path,
extensive use of surface mount technology, and an efficient low noise toroidal
power transformer.
• Full magnetic shielding. The airmotiv low-frequency transducer features
full-coverage traditional magnetic shielding while the airmotiv high-frequency
transducer is inherently shielded by its advanced design.
